Sheri from Sew Much Fun and Awesome Sauce shows how you can turn an adult’s button-down shirt into a cute new jumpsuit for a toddler. It’s a quick and clever refashion project. Check out the baby Elvis pose in her photo! Get the tute.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Wow… it’s quite funny. I have never tried it, but now I’ll definitely try to turn a button down shirt into a jumpsuit for my baby. As I know, Button down Shirt is suited for casual outings, evidently not to replace a dress shirt that has been made specifically for a suit.
