Re-purposing: Turtle neck shirt to dress

Does anyone else have a child that refuses to wear turtle necks or long sleeves?

Well, my little 4 year old will not wear either of these...without a battle!

I hate to give all of her long sleeve shirts away, so I took one and made it into a dress...that she will wear!


The turquoise shirt came from another project that I am working on.
It was one of my old shirts!



I actually forgot to take a picture before I put on the rhinestones, and when I did it was a poor shot, but you get the idea!

I cut off the sleeves and made them short.

I will demonstrate in future posts how to do all of these techniques.



I decided to add a ruffle along the bottom of the dress. I think it added a lot!

Here is the neckline. I cut off the turtle neck and added some ruffles. I will show how to do these ruffles later this week!

Here is the rhinestones. I am so excited to show how to do this!!!

Now we have something she will wear...without the fight!!

  2. Very cute little dress! Love the ruffles and rhinestones!

    I would love if you came and linked this project to my clothes upcycling page. It has a long term linky, so your project would stay there for more than just the week of a usual linky. We have over 60 projects linked up now – some fantastic ideas – and this month I’m upcycling lots of clothes and trying to feature lots of the links too!
    Do come and take a look!
