A Dress for October (Updated)

Another dress for the fall using 5 different t-shirts.


I bought Sienna (yes, storebought) the perfect black and white striped leggings to wear underneath. Now it just needs to cool off! It was only 101 degrees here today.


I'm sewing an identical one for my Etsy store except that the purple is at the top and orange is at the bottom....I'll finish it tonight. The plan was to offer someone their pick and Sienna would get the leftovers, but my iron was too hot and I smeared some of the text at the top of the dress! She'll never notice.


Halloween tees are SO much better than when we were growing up, right? I wouldn't have been caught dead in one until recent years.....


Pattern used: The Sienna Dress


Update: Here is the 2nd one I made. I LOVE the little owl tag that is on the bottom ruffle! This dress is in my etsy shop now.....there will only be one.

  1. Well it's about to snow here in my home town so if you need me to, I will gladly take that DARLING little dress off your hands. You wouldn't want your poor little lady to sweat to death right (or mine to freeze)?!?!

    I love your blog and am a proud stalker of it! :)

    I made a tshirt refashion dress because of your super cute ones and posted pics on my blog. I also linked to you and told my readers that they should pick up the pattern from you if they'd like to make one. (:

  9. Love the dress !!

    Your blog inspires me !!

    I was looking at some my old stained baby tee's that thanks to childbirth I can't wear anymore ;)

    I am inspired to do something crafy with them.. Maybe cut the designs off the front that aren't stained and applique them onto something else !

    I have your esty store added as a favorite and hope to eventually purchase one of your patterns ! Just too many projects going on right now to purchase another pattern !

  15. I skipped the leggings/tights and made legwarmers. I bought striped thigh highs at Target and cut them off. Plan to add ruffle of ribbon at bottom...someday!
