Repurpose: My old shirt to a toddler shirt

It's been awhile since I've shared a sewing post. I have a bunch of old button up shirts that I have been meaning to make into clothes for my girls. Here's the first shirt I made:
I made it from this old shirt. Bri wanted a matching hair clip so I looked at some of the frayed rosette tutorials and combined a few ideas. Best tip I found was using a pipe cleaner to wrap the fabric around, it makes it so much easier! I also had an old knit shirt that doesn't really fit anymore. However, I loved the print so I just altered it into a dress for Bri. She has worn it 2 days in a row and is sad that it now needs to be washed! I'll be making some more of these for summer!!
I also have a few other things I'm "repurposing" to share. I'll try to make a tutorial for some of them!

Bubbly Outfit

I love it when an outfit costs near to nothing. The skirt fabric used to be a shirt I got at a garage sale for 25 cents, it looked like a tent on me so I wanted to upcycle it. The shirt is from the remnant bin at Walmart for about a dollar, and the rest I already had. Using a simple bubble skirt pattern, some inspiration from the Pink Fig Lydia dress sleeves and my own ideas, I came up with a bubble shirt. I love the combo!
I also made a simple flower from the gray fabric. It was going to be a hair accessory, but Brianna insisted that it should go on her skirt, and I agree!

Hey, the silver shoes finally match the outfit!
