I love recycling t-shirts.....

.....I don't really wear them but I love recycling them into different things! I think the majority of Sienna's wardrobe is from something that used to be mine or my husband's! I made Sienna a skort this weekend. It is so hard to find skirts for her that come with bloomers (she still wears pull-ups) so I really love when the shorts are built into the skirt.

I'm working on refining the pattern for this skort as well as the pattern for the little halter dress. It takes so long to write it all out with photos and details! I just need more hours in the day....and more sleep.





Sienna loves how soft, comfy and twirly they are.

Update: I am so excited to introduce my Recycled T-Shirt Ruffle Skirt/Skort ePattern (6M to 5T) now available at my Lil Blue Boo Etsy shop! It is a 20-page PDF complete with 41 images and drawings to walk you step by step through making your own ruffle skirt or skort out of a men’s t-shirt.

    Looks like it's soooo soft :)

    I was surprised S is totally smiling/posing for the camera, until I realized it's probably because she's standing on her table! Gotta love it :)
