This is my favorite...I found this man's shirt at Goodwill and just KNEW what I was going to do with it! The bumble bee fabric came from Walmart...what a cute match!

I have been using a peasant dress yoke and sleeve pattern, but then just start cutting. No tutorial...yet!

just a hint, ladies...
when looking for a shirt, make sure it is a good quality, one that needs little-to-none ironing. Most shirts in thrift stores have been washed (and washed!) so just by looking and feeling the shirt, you can tell if it's going to need ironing (like the front placket will not be flat..etc..). This one happened to be like a seersucker type...worked up terrific and I know it will wash again very well when needed. Many of the shirts you will find will be too stift..too many wrinkles...avoid them!

I think we all find these designs adorable; is this your own idea or do you hv a pattern for it. A lovely idea for little girls dresses, they're great

I start with yoke and sleeve pieces from a Simplicity pattern, then just measure, cut...sew the rest. Each one turns out a bit different in lenght, etc. They are fun to do...make up in less than an hour without the embroidery.
