Tutorial: Dress shirt to kid’s jumper

Alexis from My Mama Made It shows how to refashion an adult button-down shirt into a kid’s jumper. The plaid shirt in the example works well for back-t0-school fashion. Jumpers are my favorite way to do dresses for my daughter because they can be worn in any weather and can grow with the child. Without sleeves to get too short, a too-short dress becomes a tunic just by adding a pair of jeans. Find out how to make this jumper at My Mama Made It.
