After Mitch's dad passed away, all the brothers were going through some of his clothes. A couple of shirts were too big for any of them so I took them thinking one day I could make something with them. Well I was browsing online one day and came across this tutorial.
I thought it looked cute and not to difficult so I tried it out and wa la-
a cute little summer dress!
I didn't put the casing around the middle because I just couldn't get it to line up good with the way the buttons were positioned. I still think it turned out great and looks stinkin' cute on this crazy gal. The best part is she will always have something of grandpa's!

Oh my gosh! That is SO adorable, Melanie! You are amazing. Even without the sentimental value, that's such a cute dress. The fact that it's Grandpa's shirt though, will always make it super special.
Melanie, I saw your little lady wearing this on Sunday and thought how cute she looked. Who knew her momma made it from a memory shirt. Too tender!
Mel - um... can I say that after seeing this post two things happened.
1. I wanted a little girl RIGHT away.
2. I became a pack rat & decided that any shirt from now on that michal throws away that I must obsessively keep.
I am so so so impressed with your sewing skills (and ability to find these projects online). I wish I could sit down with you for a day and you could show me where you find all of these neat treasures.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this post! I absolutely LOVED it!
i love it - and i love that website - i found one where she turned an old t-shirt into a shirt that i want to try- but i love addys face she obviously loves it!
That is so cute Melanie!!! I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like that :)
