| Elizabeth has a couple of cute long sleeve shirts here. It is way too hot for long sleeves and these shirts will be too small for her by the time it is cold again. So, my make do and mend project today was to alter these shirts. I just cut off the sleeves.... |
 |
| turned under the edge about 3/8 inch and pinned it up. then I just machine stitched with invisible thread. I think the whole project took 15 minutes. |
 |
| 2 re-done shirts perfect all the hot days to come |

That is such a great idea since kids do grow out of things far too quickly. It makes them a great way to grow with her a little longer before she can no longer wear them.

Baby E is so LUCKY to have a grandma that can work magic on clothes!! Reminds me of that TV show Dresscue Me!You can find of episodes on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to get 2 seasons out of clothes and then sell. Can always use the sleeves to sew onto some short sleeves in the winter. Can mix up colors!
ReplyDeleteCute! I've done this with jeans for myself and made shorts. I bet she looks really good in that purple color!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea. They turned out great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You are such a smart grandma.
ReplyDeleteYour little ones in the pool in the post before this one is so sweet. It brings back memories of my two when they were that age. Lots of work, but equally fun!
