Re purposing: shirt into dress

My daughter is growing so fast! Almost all of her shirts are too short. I was just going to put them in storage until I remembered I saw a few tutorials on how to use old t shirts and make dresses out of them. Like here and here.

I give you the purple flower dress:

I had this purple flower fabric I bought a while back in the remnant bin that was just perfect for this little dress.

I also used some scrap purple fabric and sewed it on the front and also made some fabric flowers.

I don't usually sew clothing but I had TONS of fun with this and already have a few more ready to make. I guess I'm just intimidated by making clothes from scratch...... but this was super easy and I love how it turned out. And I just used up things we already had around the house so it didn't cost me a thing.

Redecorate: Part Two

I've wanted something to go on this wall above my daughters bed. But I wasn't quite sure what to put there. It stayed that way until a few days ago.

I found these awesome Alphabet Cards from Children Inspire Design. The minute I saw them I knew I had to have them. So I bought them and got them in the mail 2 days later.

I love the pictures and how colorful and unique they are.

The hedgehog might be one of my favorites.

The cards are printed on recycled paper and are a heavy photo paper. Which I love! I decided to hang up some twine on the wall and use some of my small leftover clothes pins from this project to hang the letters.

Doesn't it look cute above her bed? I didn't want them too low because I don't want my daughter to play with them. I LOVE the end result and am so glad I bought these. ( I actually got them from a website called babysteals.com and bought the numbers for the babies room too.)

I also found another website that has some Alphabet Cards as well. You can check it out here.

Happy Decorating!
