Old Shirt Toddler Dress

I had an old shirt laying around that didn't quite fit. I thought that the band around the chest of the shirt was a nice embellishment but, just not flattering on me. In the end I decided that I would make a much better dress for the Stink Bug!



I cut out the front panel of the shirt, cutting the arms of the shirt off just before the seams. I made sure to keep the knit neckline intact to use as straps.




I brought the straps around to the back and sewed them at the old waistband. I made sure to try the dress on the Stink Bug before choosing the strap placement and length. Then I just marked where the needed to go while she had the dress on.
