Tutorial: Little girl’s sundress from a thrifted skirt

Cintia from My Poppet shows how you can turn a thrifted skirt (or maybe a skirt in your own closet destined for the donate pile) into a cute new sundress for a little girl – super fast, super easy. You’ll need to use a skirt with a shirred waist. From there, it’s just a couple of simple sewing steps to remake it into a little girl’s sundress. Her post is part of her Thrifty Kid series, which focuses on refashioning garments into inexpensive kids clothes.
