Refashion a onesie or shirt
It started as a very boyish looking onesie, a little lace and time and it was easily girled up, here's how I did it
cut two pieces of fabric that are about 8"(more if you want more ruffle) long x 3"
fold in half so you have a 4" x 3" piece of fabric. Create a curved edge by folding each piece so you have a 4" x 3" piece, cut the opposite end of the fold round so that you have a piece that looks like this.
Hem the curved edges with a rolled hem or binding or lace, it's your choice.
Run a row of gathering stitches along the straight edge and gather so it is about 4 to 6 inches long.
Next, get your onesie and a seam ripper, carefully take out 2-3 inches of stitches on either side of the shoulder seam where the sleeve is connected : like this - seam rip between red dots.
sandwich ruffle in between - make sure the right side of fabric is against the shoulder seam - straight edge matched
with seams of the onesie and restitch the seam.
Turn shirt right side out and get ready to add lace to the neckline (only if there are buttons to allow head to go through neck hole)
Carefully pin lace around neck edge and stitch with a normal sewing stitch.
Find a little one who can enjoy the shirt and put it on them!
