I don't know if you saw this adorable bubble from Carters. It came out last year and I really wanted to get one for my daughter, but I would think of all the other things I needed to buy and talked myself out of it. Well I found one at Savers the other day. It is a size 24 mo. and my daughter is a 2T/3T so needless to say it would not fit her. I figured it would fit her in the top but the length would not be right. I decided to buy it anyway hoping I could make it work as a shirt. To start I cut off the crotch off leaving as much length as it allowed- i figured if it was too short i could always add a band or ruffle.
Next I ironed a small rolled hem at the bottom
Stitched a straight stitch on the hem
I know this is super simple and really doesn't need to have steps explained but I thought maybe someone has a bubble they loved and didn't think of doing this yet.
What an awesome idea!!!! Thanks for sharing! I have 3 boys, so no go, there! But I do have a 1 1/2 year old neice that this would work for!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great project! We were given 2 of these bubbles as gifts and I absolutely loved them. My daughter grew out of them quickly, so I'm hoping to re-do one for this summer with your idea! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a clever idea! I have a little man so it won't work so much but its a good idea for gifts..thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love yellow too. I love seeing people remake children's clothes, so they fit for longer. Thank you for linking up again to A Little Craft Therapy with Life in the Pitts!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out adorable! I love those circle necks on outfits!
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable. Yellow is her color! Thanks for the steps too! I am new to sewing and hoping to refashion some clothes for my little girl soon!
ReplyDeleteI love that for re-doing sale items but also making clothes last another season- great idea!!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!! It turned out great.
ReplyDeleteYou seriously AMAZE me woman!!! Soooooo cute! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOH this goes on the list of "why didn't I think of that"
ReplyDeleteNow I need to go dig through last years bubbles, I had a ton of them!
I love being able to repurpose clothes! This turned out so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love yellow, too! This turned out really cute, and I love making things last- my kid is a weed!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is fantastic! That fabric is fabulous, and it looks great as a shirt!
ReplyDeleteWe have a friday fun finds party- if you're interested, we'd love if you'd link up tomorrow! :)
Oh, I am so jealous! I wish I would have had this when winter started and all those cute bubbles were on sale!!! I am going to have to make a quick trip to my daughters closet to see what can be redone! thanks (found your from mclinky and your bleach shirts are another must do!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. I would never have thought of that. I have 2 girls and buying their clothes can be a challenge! Thanks for the great idea.

What a great idea. I have been using my daughters old dresses as shirts for years. I would never have thought of doing this. How cute! I will have to make some now. Thanks!
