Curly Sue Dress
There hasn’t been much crafting going on around here with a newborn in the house so I thought I would share one of my favorite past projects with you.
You’ve got to love making something pretty out of something ordinary. This beautiful dress was made from an old t-shirt using the Curly Sue Dress tutorial at Delila Creates.
The bottom of each layer is trimmed in red thread using a lettuce hem. I LOVE the contrast between the red and white. This could look pretty in so many colors though. The possibilities are endless.
Instead of stitching on the exposed edge, I turned the edge under just a tiny bit (like 1/8″) and trimmed on the folded part which looked a lot cleaner in my opinion. The fold is so tiny that the thread completely hides it.
I monogrammed Sophie’s initials on the front piece using the Curlz font.
To top it off I made a pinwheel bow using a tutorial from Hair Hardware.
Sophie played in the yard all afternoon in this dress. It was comfy enough to play on the playset, climb the ladder and go down the slide….in style!
I have collected several more old t-shirts in my stash for future refashion projects! Sophie approves!
