I love making skirts for my girls and now I have another to add to my list! Treasures for Tots made this adorable skirt for her little girl and has put together a great tutorial for those interested in making one. Hop on over here to check it out!

Lil Blue Boo shares how she repurposed an adult-sized t-shirt to make this adorable outfit for her daughter! I love how she made use of the shirt’s image as appliqué for the tank and skirt. Such a fabulous redo, I just love it! You can find the how-to here!

This poodle skirt from Beelieve is absolutely fabulous. There’s nothing particularly fancy about the construction of the skirt…in fact she chose some very simple methods (yay!). But the poodle. Good gracious, that poodle is killing me. And I love the significance of the unhooked leash. I’m gushing because I love this skirt! Go see it here and be sure to read the words (yes, I’m talking to you “picture reader” types!), because it really was interesting to read how she made it.

All of these remakes of men’s shirts are just so inspiring! Most recently, Shannon from luvinthemommyhood created this dress and I absolutely love it. Love the colors, love the breezy look about it, love the flower…love everything about it! It’s also encouraging to know that a beginning sewer created it since I’m still a newbie myself. Shannon doesn’t have a tutorial up yet, but she’s working on one so keep an eye out on her blog!
