Well, brand-new to Lu. It's actually made out of one of my Opa's favorite shirts. Thanks, Mama! I love it!
Oooh, I just remembered... A few weeks ago, I couldn't bring myself to throw away one of Ken's shirts. It had a big rip in the sleeve, but it was one of my favorites of his. And now I know why I kept it.
P.S. Dee, did you notice the bits of white in the window in the top photo? Thanks for the lesson on Sunday -- you are the snowflake cutting queen!
Awesome! I too have some of my man's shirts that are kind of special. Being that I don't sew or anything, perhaps I should bring them to you? To make a patchwork little bag or something maybe? :-)
ReplyDeleteNice snowflakes! Glad to be of service! You should take a closer-up ("closer-up"???) picture so we can really see what they look like.
What a cute dress!! And your mom looks just like Joanie!! There is a lady on craftster that has a dress tutorial out of a mans shirt. Too cute. Wish I had a girl!!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a great idea. My MIL made Carter a "boy doll" out of Grandpa's clothes. He loves it and so do I!
ReplyDeleteJenny - love the idea. Reminded me of the teddy bear my aunt made out of her dad's favorite "fur"-lined trench coat. What a great way to keep memories!
ReplyDeleteCindy - thanks for the heads-up about the craftster tutorial. And oh, yes, my mom and her sis look SO alike.
Deelilah - sounds like a fun idea. Simple patchwork is essentially just sewing straight lines. So is bag-making... How about I show you how and YOU make a bag? We can find a couple days this summer, send all the kids to play outside...
what a sweet dress!! love how it is made from her opa's favorite shirt! what a great idea.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what you make from ken's shirt. :)
