I just can't stop myself

Is anyone sick of looking at pictures of my t-shirt dresses???  I just cannot stop making them.  Last summer I loaded up on short sleeve t-shirts and I just keep getting ideas.  Now Ya'll know I am a copy cat.  I cannot figure things out on my own---here is the blog where it all started--Mama's Spare Time.  I used her ideas and my new found love of RUFFLES and a few things I had around the house. 
I started with....

one of Em's t-shirts, an old stained onesie, and a piece of white leftover quilting fabric.  I was pretty pumped about this one because the tag was still on the shirt---$1.50 from Children's Place Outlet.  The shirt was cute, but nothing we could not live without.

I like it better all ruffled up.  This was by far the easiest transformation so far.  AND it would have only taken about an hour, but I had a few problems.  First, I sewed the skirt on inside out--bummer.  Then I kept running out of white ruffles.  I used EVERY spare ounce of fabric on the onesie in order to get two full ruffles.  I could have just used some more of the fabric from the skirt, but I wanted it to be t-shirt material like the blue stripe.  So for $1.50 I got rid of a junky onesie, cleared out some useless fabric and got a darn cute little dress.  Em was asleep already when I finished, so I just have to imagine her cute little piggy tails sticking out of the top:)

My next Re-fashion idea came from this wonderful blog--Sew Much Ado.  She has a tutorial to make a SIMPLE cute little girls skirt out of an old t-shirt.  Trust me---THIS IS EASY!!!  When I saw this tutorial I said...

"Husband---can you go through your t-shirts and give me the ones that you don't wear anymore??" (simple enough request--right?)  Well after another try and some eye rolling--by both of us--I decided to check out my own closet.  I struck out and then headed out to my GoodWill box.  I found this tank top and thought I had struck gold.  It was perfect for what I wanted. 

I used this tutorial to make this old wal-mart shirt into a cute little skirt for Em.  I am not sure when she is going to wear all of these new things, but oh well:)

Obviously no ruffles on this one, but I still kinda love it.  It was SUPER simple and took MAYBE 20 minutes.  And on top of all of that---IT WAS FREE!!!  Can't beat Cute---unless you have Cute AND Free ♥
