Free Sewing Pattern Tutorial: Quick and easy toddler dress from an adult blouse

March 15, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Kirstin & Jordan from kojodesigns share a tutorial on their blog showing how to make a toddler dress out of an upcycled loose-fitting adult blouse.  It’s a quick, easy project that can be done in about an hour.  That’s less time than it would take to pack up the kiddo, drive to the store, find and purchase a dress you like, and drive back home.  Go to the tutorial.

Such a great way to create a memory item using a Grandparents shirt.

    I wanted to draft you a tiny remark so as to say thanks once again on your awesome things you’ve provided above. It was simply shockingly generous of people like you giving without restraint what a number of us could have distributed as an e book in order to make some money for their own end, primarily seeing that you could possibly have done it in the event you decided. Those pointers in addition worked like the good way to understand that someone else have similar desire really like my very own to see a whole lot more concerning this condition. I am sure there are some more pleasurable occasions ahead for individuals that look into your website.

    When I originally commented I clicked the Notify me when new comments are added checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks!

      I’ll need to research this a little bit. I’m forwarding your comment to our site administrator to see if he has any suggestions. –Anne
