Upcycling: Daddy's Swimsuit to Little Boy's Swimsuit

What to do with your husband's old swimming suit?
Turn it into a swimsuit for your little boy!

This summer my husband got a new bathing suit and was going to get rid of his old one. Of course the sewer in me screamed, "I'll take it!" and I added it to the ever-growing fabric bins in my sewing room. I loved the plaid and the material is a bathing suit material so I decided to upcycle (or in this case downsize) it to be something for our son.
I used the tutorial found here: Dana Made It Tutorial - Kid Pants and it even came with a downloadable pattern. I downloaded her pant pattern but shortened it to match a pair of his shorts. When I cut out the pattern I lined up the hem of my husband's swimsuit to the hem I wanted for my little boy's swimsuit. This was already hemmed!! Easy peasy!
Right after my little boy's nap I told him I made something for him. When I showed it to him he said, "I'm so proud of you! I love you!" Seriously, only our 3 year old would say that because we say that to him every night before bed. But I do know it made him happy. He even wore it to go feed the ducks (oh yes, orange striped shirt and all and don't forget his Woody cowboy hat) and then wore it to swim this afternoon.
I even used the old drawstring and just sewed it on to look like it gathers it, but really it's just knotted in bow. I used an elastic piece for the waistband.
It had a really cool zipper pocket and it just happened to make the "cut" when I cut out the pattern. It adds some "boy-ness" to it, don't you think?

Pattern Testers Needed: Reversible Skirt Sewing Pattern - PDF format

Do you want to test this pattern?

The Reversible Waveland Skirt pattern has been edited and is ready for a final round of pattern testers. If you can sew it up this week and give me some feedback let me know! It uses 2 of your favorite fabrics and one other coordinating fabric strip as a "waved" border and takes about an hour.

Super cute for Summertime!

Ruffled Halter Dress for a birthday present!

I made this dress last week for my friend Caroline. Her daughter just turned 1 and I thought she needed this sweet little dress for her first birthday. It's made with Moda fabric and to me it depicts spring and summer all in one....blooming flowers, cherries, red ruffles and a halter top. I made it using my Ruffled Halter Dress Pattern - a quick go-to pattern perfect for girls and gifts!
