From daddy's old shirt to new daughter's dress

Filed Under: kids, Crafts, sewing

shirtT-shirt recon is a rising fad but what about those other old shirts? Men's dress shirts that are no longer in style, he just doesn't like or have that stain on the sleeve that make wearing it to work impractical.

I found this photo tutorial for a recon of a man's dress shirt into a very sweet little girl's dress on the forums at Craftster. With a pair of scissors and a sewing machine the poster took a rather boring old shirt from a thrift store and made a charming sun dress for her daughter.

The poster's tutorial seems quite complete and easy to understand including photos to help you get this recon right. I can see this project working with any old grown-up shirt that buttons down the front. If you choose to try this one out have fun and don't forget Step 1, apply snacks frequently.

    Very cute. Seems to be a natural for a grandmother to tackle...
