It is day 2 in the series of “Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice.” The outfit is made for my little one and the headband is posted in my shop. Hope you find today’s posting inspiring as well.
Spice- A girl playing with spices
I used an old fleece shirt I had from Old Navy to make this top for my daughter.
Unfortunately, the photo shoot wasn’t so successful because it’s been rather hot here lately and she was not happy being in fleece in the sun.
It is based on an adult shirt I saw somewhere and had to make for her. I blanket stitched the edges of the front pockets and around the neck scarf piece. I designed this pattern just for her. It’s a bit big right now, so I might take it in a little bit.
The headband is covered in a green ribbon. It has a scalloped piece of off white felt with embroidered edges on top, which has beautiful green and off white felt flowers. Some have vintage buttons/beads in the middle.
It is up for sale in the shop.
It can fit an adult and a child’s head.

The button I used on my ribbon ring was actually a leftover button from a sweater I bought. I love it too!

December 14, 2009 at 11:29 pmI think you are a refashioning genius!!! How do you start, by picking apart all the existing seams?

It depends on what I am doing, but usually no. For my daughter’s things, I just place the pattern pieces strategically onto the existing piece of clothing. Then I use the extra pieces to make things like collars, pockets, etc.
