These are the before pictures of the things that I plan to make this summer with a link so you all can see what I plan to do with them. We'll check back and see if they actually turn out the way they are supposed to. :) I've decided to dabble in refashioning clothes. So I looked through my closet and after a trip to Goodwill and Dollar Tree this is what we've come up with so far.
I bought this shirt right before college and it was great then, but I don't think that I have worn it since. I love it, but I never wear it. The proportions are very 2002. So I decided that it needs to become a skirt for Siobhan. I'm hoping to make it into something along the lines of this pencil skirt. I just hope that mine turns out a little cuter because let's face it, that length is not flattering on that model at all. But Siobhan has nice legs so she should be able to pull it off.
Price: Free-from my closet
These shirts are going to become really cute little dresses. I'm not sure why my computer won't let me rotate the picture but the top shirt is going to be for Audrey and the bottom one for Siobhan.
Price: White striped shirt-$1.00, Green shirt-$2.99
These bandanas are on their way to becoming skirts for the girls. We went to the Dollar Tree and they had two pack of bandanas-one was a traditional bandana and the other was a coordinating pattern. I let the girls pick which colors they want and if all goes well, Siobhan will have another one in red for the Fourth of July and and Audrey will have a dress (also pictured in the above link) in blue.
Price: $2
This shirt is going to become a skirt for Siobhan. Sorry, I don't have a link for it, but it's not hard imagine what it's going to become.
Price: $2.99
These three pairs of socks are going to become baby legs for the girls. I can't wait. I think they are going to look super cute on the girls. If you don't know what baby legs are check this out. I'm trying to convince Carson that it's okay to put a boy in baby legs, but he's not listening. I found this post though and I thought it was so cute!

There are some other shirt dresses out there - I need to find them again and will show you. Now try cleaning out your closet and not spend any more money!!! I plan to do matching bandanna skirts and dresses for the girls.
Did you see all the felt food on one pretty thing?
Those are some cute ideas, can't wait to see how they turn out. My sister in law makes leggings out of socks for her girls, and they always turn out cute.
I have wanted to do bandana skirts for Bryn. I dinn't know they had them at the dollar store though. I need to go there today!
Cute stuff! I think bably legs are totally appropriate for a boy, especially if they look like this: http://www.queenbabybean.com/item/Bones_BabyLegs/989/c113
