something new from what was old

I don't know what my 6 year old is doing now, that she hasn't done in years past, but this kid is wearing holes in the knees of her pants faster than I can replace them. It doesn't matter if they were bought brand new or if they were second hand, she will wear them out equally as fast. I've been meaning to do something with these holy pants for some time now, I have a stash of them. I have made ruffly skirts out of them in the past, but I decided to do something different this time. So I made a pair of ruffly, twirly pants. They were a huge hit. She is totally in love with them and would wear them everyday if she could find the perfect shirt to go with them for every day too.I will be making more of these and some capris too! More than likely I will have them for sale in my Etsy shop or my facebook group as well, so keep your eyes open.

Darn Tootin' Cute Dress

I just made this adorable little dress this afternoon for the daughter of a friend of mine. I had my Kathryn try it on and model it for me. It is made with quilters cotton. I used the top part of a peasant blouse pattern and I added 5 inches to width of the bodice to make the first ruffle. Each additional ruffle is 5 inches wider than the previous ruffle. I cut each ruffle 6 inches tall. It is super easy to make and super cute as you can see. It turned out just as cute as I hoped it would.

Here are some similar tops that I have made.
