My friends know that I like to sew and make things so I often get fabrics and clothes donated. Recently my friend gave me a bag full of clothes she no longer wears. She is a sewer as well, and showed me her failed attempt to make a top with a jersey in red floral liberty print. Although liberty print is a bit too young and cutesy for me, I love it on little girls. When I got this top, I immediately thought of easy tube dress for Kiko.
It was an easy project that took less than hour. I cut the top in the length I wanted, added elastic around the top and attached shoulder straps.
I made this at night after Kiko went to bed. She goes to bed at 7pm and after that is my sewing time. I placed the finished dress right next to her bed while she was sleeping, so when she woke up in the morning, there was a little surprise beside her.
Check out this, this and this to see what else I’ve made her recently.
私が洋裁を好きなことを知っているからか、ランダムに友達から使わない布や、洋服をいただくことがあります。
最近も、バッグ一杯、頂きました笑
これはその中からのリメイク品。
大人用トップスだったのですが、リバティープリントは私にはかわいすぎるので、子供用のチューブドレスにしました。
夜に作って、寝ている間こっそり枕元に。
朝見つけて、子供に喜んでもらえるのが嬉しいです。

I wish all my handmade clothes were great and got a lot of wear but unfortunately that is not the case and this dress is certainly not on the favorites list. I think one thing that makes clothes become a go-to in your closet (whether you make it or buy it at the store), depends on how well you plan. Almost every time I binge buy clothes or binge make them, it fails.
