Here is a project I’ve been wanting to share for quite a while, but I had to wait until the package was delivered so as not to ruin the surprise! I wanted to make matching dresses for our cousin Lindsay’s two little girls. So I headed to the Goodwill Clearance Center and picked up this XL flannel shirt.
I was able to make the two dresses, a hair bow for mom and a tie for dad! Since the Goodwill Clearance Center is priced $1 a pound, I think I can safely say I spent less then a dollar on these outfits. (The black fabric was something I already had in my stash.) The tie didn’t turn out super great because the flannel was so soft and hard to work with. Oh well, it’s still cute. I mean.. manly. And cunning. A man walks down the street in that tie, people know he’s not afraid of anything.
Luckily our two kids are about the same age, so I tried them on and made sure they were a little big. Audrey is 9ish months older than Juniper, and Emma is only a few months older than Flynn. I am a mean mommy, I took about a million pictures of Flynn in that dress! Even in a dress, isn’t just the handsomest little guy?
Ok,back into something a little more manly. Give us a big tough guy look. Good job little man. ???
These dresses are simply the best! We absolutely love them, thanks so much
AMAZING JOB!! and love that your little guy was your model…that's awesome he's boy enough to pull it off too ;o)
SWEET! I love the black stripe.In the future, using some iron on pellonmight save your tie by making itmore . . . dunno, less floppy.*grin*
Very Cute! When I was just looking at the pictures I totally thought "oh that baby girl looks like a boy" Then I read it and was like "oh, OK good he is a boy." Good to know that even in a cute dress your boy looks like a boy.
You did so well with your bargain shopping and the dresses look great. Well done.
