Girl Shirt + Curtain = ?

 Ain't I got STYLE?!  I mean hey, paint on the legs, cut off sweat pants...  it's no wonder people show up at my door and say... "uhhhhh.... are YOU Kammy?  You don't look like your picture..."  And yes, that has happened! Talk about a blow to the ego." Wow, sorry to disappoint you.  I typically don't wear high heels and curl my hair to answer the door, sorry." :)

So any yahoo, I bought the shirt at a garage sale originally thinking I'd sew it in down the sides and make a dress for my two year old.  Then..... when my mom was here, she convinced me it would make an adorable skirt!  I had also bought these curtains for 50 cents at a garage sale - not to ever use them as curtains mind you, but I knew I could use that already-sewn ruffle somewhere.

So cut off the straps, cut the ruffle off the curtain, sew ruffle to bottom of shirt and there you have it.  A darling skirt!

"Please can I keep her, Mommy?"

p.s. It would probably best to use curtains that don't have what my mother calls "sun rot".  I guess this is when curtains have hung in a window for a reeeeeeeeeally long time and the sun makes the fabric very fragile....  I went to town one day (yeah, that's kinda a big outting for me) and wore it feelin' all cute and by the end of the day?  Well let's just say I need to cut the ruffle off.... and if I want another ruffle, I'll have to use some non "sun-rotted" fabric.  Urgh.  See, you get the ugly with the pretty here on the Korner. :)  It was a good idea, and cute while it lasted.
