What can you do with a T-shirt?! Brassy Apple started this fun challenge to see what great ideas everybody can come up with to re-purpose or beautify an old or plain T-shirt. So many Crafters have already submitted links to their awesome projects. Go take a look right here.
My idea is probably not the most original one, but I think the result is pretty cute: of course, again, new outfits for the girls! I used a couple of plain white tank tops, added a ruffle on the bottom and appliqued cut outs from the main fabric onto the front. In addition I made matching shorts using the very easy Butterick pattern B3832.
Unfortunately, I forgot to document the whole process of beautifying the tops. But, found a couple of tutorials, that easily show how to add a ruffle (or skirt) to a plain T-shirt and how to create your own fabric appliques.
So, here are a couple of pictures of the outfits (action shots of the girls wearing them will follow later):
