Little girl's sweater dress


Now that everyone in my family is safe and back home, I think it's time for another refashion. An easy one, though, since I'm still reeling a bit from last weekend's "adventure".
If you've got a little girl in your life and you make one of these dresses, you'll never look at a sweater the same again. So many possibilities.....
Isn't this label great!
Use a well fitting t-shirt for a pattern.
Cut around the t-shirt, leaving a half inch for a seam.
Turn the sweater inside out and sew the side seams, starting at the bottom to keep the bottom edge together. Then cut the sleeve length to fit.
Turn inside out and sew up the sides of the sleeves to fit.
Place the sleeves back into the armholes, right sides together, pin and sew.
And now you've got a sweet little sweater dress for a cute little girl in your life.
I'm pretty sure Brookie, has a modeling career ahead of her. That is if she can find the time after all of her hunting, fishing, four wheeling and horse riding adventures with her mom and dad. :)

that's really cute! I've been wanting to try to down-size an old man sweater for my little boy..not a dress, obviously but still good inspiration!
