I was feeling creative

So I got a boys dress shirt and made some stuff. I took the sleeves, cut them apart, then stitched them together. I added a little ribbon then finished the bottom. This is what I ended up with. I did have to take in the sides a bit more to make it fit this doll, but I put it on (as it was) a baby doll and it fit perfect. Whitney told me I should have made it more modest. :) I guess I need to put a shirt on under the dress...

Here is the dress I made from the middle of the shirt. I made some shoes and a hair bow to match. I think it turned out pretty cute. I love to get creative, it is so relaxing for me. I think it is what other people describe as the "runner's high" (that I have never felt.) I just feel so great when I'm working on it and when it is done!

Here is my little model.






I liked it with the bottons on the back, but I could totally see it as a tank top dress with the buttons down the front, and instead of taking the pocket off and tossing it. I could just move it down lower... I am getting all sorts of ideas. These are so easy!
