What I can do in a half hour......

I am so happy that I got to sew tonight. After finishing off a simple pair of shorts for Ava I decided to go through my thrifted stash and see what I could cook up.



The shirt on the left side of the picture was the one I chose to work with. It cost $.50. Nothing special, just a simple button down top. The fabric is so light and gauzy, I thought I'd make it into a cute summer top for Ava. After a quick snip here and there, I threw some elastic in and VIOLA~








I was originally going to put sleeves on it, but decided instead to leave them off. I zig zagged the armholes and they did this neat little fluttery thing. I just thought it was cute, and I was happy I had decided against sleeves. I didn't use a pattern, I didn't measure anything, and it still came out looking like a shirt.

Miss Ava seems to like it, too.
