Jumble Dresses

Over the weekend, I made some girls' spring dresses out of old t-shirts.

I started out with the test dress:


It was OK, but I can't say I was 100% satisfied with how it turned out.

Then I started making more, and they got a little better and I got a little faster:

And I made more:
And more:

And I'm still making more.
Help. I think I'm addicted.

My daughter has claimed the first one to wear this spring. They are all around size 5-6 and will fit my daughters, but I think I will more some more so that I can sell them at a green fair this April. They will my Jumble Dresses, because they are made out of a jumble of recycled t-shirts.

I love that last one!!!!! Good job, mama. *grin*

My son has FINALLY weaned...and I'm finding that the MAJORITY of things in my closet are either too big (nursing/prego wear), too small (pre-baby wear) or too worn/pill-y (pre-wedding clothes! Yikes). My scrap pile is growing. *Grin*

I like all the different pieces in them like that. And I agree, making knit dresses is very addicting :)

I love the dresses and the names for them, too! I make a lot of "pieced" clothing for my daughter, and she loves it. I love refashioning, so it's a win-win for us!
