Strawberry Dress

I wanted to make this dress because it looked fun to make...and it was. Although, considering where we live, I should of went with a cherries.

T-shirt Shrug

I was recently given a couple of really cute sleeveless dresses. I'm a bit too modest to wear sleeveless, so I decided a shrug is what I needed. I found a couple tutorials online on how to turn a t-shirt into a shrug and decided to go for it.


First I found a $4 tee at Meijer, one that I love because I am a puffed sleeves kind of girl.


Then I measured and cut at the desired length.


Another cut right up the center.


A little bit of rounding the edges for shape.


Then a quick serge around the raw edges.


Ta da!

Mr. Brooke's Coat

Another costume for the Little Women play. This will be a coat for Mr. Brooke. I also have to add that the previous cloak was actually for Aunt March, not Marmee. This was a collaborative effort, as I only sewed it together, someone had already cut everything out for me. Also keep in mind that this coat is for a teenage boy, and my dressform is sized for a woman, so it doesn't look quite like it will on him.

Dress

I actually got this idea from a dress I saw. I had a similar pattern which I altered to make it work. The boys say she looks like a chef because of the apron.
