From our closet, I took one of my husband's shirts from a company he worked at years ago. He never wore it as it was way too big. Before considering Goodwill, I took a closer look and thought about it from the sewer's perspective. Hmmm... Great material, never been worn, set of buttons already evenly placed... So I did the only logical thing a girl can do, cut it up and made a dress.
The buttons from the front of the shirt became the back of the dress and I added some very pink and girly material as the sash and liner, just in case there was any questionable manlyness left in the style. I was not able to get the logo out of the of the dress, it was placed too low to cut it out. Luckily, it is pretty discrete color-wise and it will lay on the child's back shoulder.
My next experiment will be with felting wool and seeing how it does with various projects.
