how did you let me forget to post about not your mama’s craft night? we had the best time doing t-shirt transformations. the house was full of gals, sewing machines, good snacks & lots of conversation. using some old t-shirts we made tons of infant gowns (check it out up close & personal-like by clicking on the picture). some of the gals re-fashioned some men’s tees into shirts fitted especially for them, t-shirt dresses, bedazzled lounge pants (& yes, i said bedazzled!), & tons of of tee’s were transformed into pint-sized clothes for the little kiddos in our lives…. lots of stuff going on. everything was so dang cute. i made my infant gown as a gift, & i’ll admit i had a hard time giving it away… it was so soft, & boy how i loved those cowboy boots. i’m too lazy to post any other pictures… so check out what carrie, chelsey & chloe made. want to make your own? check out some of the links HERE.
nymcn wrap up.

I am way impressed…and blown away, you are a bunch of talented people!!
oh that is darling. those boots are a kick! (no pun intended)
Off topic here, I still didn’t get your e-mail, my yahoo acct has been acting up lately though. Could you send it to orthodoxmama@gmail.com? Thanks so much Kelly.
p.s. I’ll e-mail you soon with what I like best!
Wow…so cute. I wish I was that ambitious & crafty!
I’ve seen this done before, but not as cute as that one!
That gown is SO DARN CUTE!!!!!
Love the sleeper you made! Those things are the best since I love to look inside at their little toad legs all scrunched up! You did a great job! Wish I lived closer to get in on the fun craft nights!
Oh it turned out so great! I loved the material, so soft.
Yay!
Do you still have the pattern or instructions how to make it? I can sew, but I don’t know if I’m creative enough to figure it out!! I love it!
i love it! i’m having my 3rd boy in august and would love to make some. did you use a tutorial or just make it up? any advice would be greatly appreciated!
After seeing your post about all of the t-shirt recon you guys did, I decided to try it out and made a little dress. It’s not quite as cute as your stuff, but I am a beginner
Here’s the link if you’re interested:

Thanks for the inspiration!
kelly- do you have a pattern for the infant sleeper or was it just kind of trial by error? it’s so darling, and being in the nesting stage, i’m feeling a major need to whip several of these up…
good job, you are amazing!
