Mommy shirt to little girl shirt

I was going through my closet and pulling out stuff to get rid of. There are several shirts in there that I honestly don't know how I ever wore them! This one was too short and tight for me. So I decided to make it into a shirt for my daughter.
Here is how it started out.

I cut the front and back apart and cut the sleeves off.

Then I figured out how big the neck opening needed to be and pinned the front and back together.

I used one of her shirts to decide how much to take in the sides and sewed it together, right sides together of course. 

Then I put the sleeves back on and hemmed the bottom.

I haven't been able to get a picture of her in it yet but will post that as soon as I can get her to hold still long enough. ;-)

Jean Skirt

My son seems to always get holes in the knees of his pants. I decided to make a skirt out of some holey kneed jeans for my daughter. It sounded pretty simple but I realized that I couldn't just undo the leg seam and sew them together. There really wasn't enough fabric for that. So I ended up using extra material from the cut off legs to fill in on the front and back. I didn't take pictures of the process but here is the finished result (along with my dog's legs in the picture)! I think it turned out pretty cute - although next time I will probably just make them in to shorts.
