A friend of mine gave me a few shirts she got from a yard sale. She wasn't going to use them since she doesn't have girls so she gave them to me knowing I would probably like to convert them into dresses for my girls. It was a little challenging since I had to cut the shirt in different pieces then sew it back together to fit little Madison. But it came out so cute. I can't wait to do more.
Doesn't she look cute?
Here is what the shirt looked like before. It is a size 10 girls size.
And this is what is looks like after. I made the arms longer since I had the left over fabric to work with.I like the way they turned out.
I have more dresses I am going to do... but just got caught up working on different things. Right now it's hair bows. Pretty soon I will post some pics of those too.

Hi Melinda! Thank you for the comment on my blog! Yes, I do follow a pattern for most of the dresses I make for my little gal, but here are a couple of tutorials that I have used as well. Take care! Girls are so much fun!
