Help! 🤣 I grabbed a couple of my son's baseball jerseys to upcycle, and now I'm completely stumped on what to make them into. Should I go for a cute t-shirt dress? Maybe something with a more fitted bodice and little gathered skirt? Should I do two different styles or just make it easier on myself and choose the same pattern for both? I definitely want to keep the neckline intact and not cut off any of his numbers or the team name. Normally, I'd ask my sister @patternsforpirates to help me decide, but she's taking too long to reply! 🤣 So, I need your help – what do you think?
I really got into sewing when my daughter was born, and over the years, I’ve sewn her countless dresses, princess costumes, and everyday outfits. But there’s something so special about creating dresses for those big, memorable moments. 💖 Growing up, my mom made me my homecoming, prom, and even my wedding dress — and now, being able to carry on that tradition for my own daughter is a dream come true. 🥰
✨ Homecoming ready! ✨ Here’s my daughter modeling the homecoming dress I shared last week, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out! 😍 She chose the solid bodice/skirt and low front & back bodice options. I made it using a gorgeous stretch sequin from @bluemoonfabrics, and the fit is 🔥 with a hidden side zip for easy on-and-off, tailored to her 14”+ waist-to-hip difference. This dress is the perfect blend of glam and comfort!🌟✨ ⁣
