Maternity Tunic to Summer Dress Clothing Refashion Tutorial by Sewing Daydreams

If I look sleepy, it’s because I have a newborn! Zzzzzz……

While I was pregnant, I was given some much needed maternity clothes from a friend. Now that I’m not pregnant anymore, I’m working on some clothes refashion projects and am salvaging what I can from the clothing to be able to keep wearing them.

Among the clothing given was this cute little shirt/tunic thing. Now that I’m not pregnant, I didn’t think I could really pull it off anymore, so I decided to add a little length to make it a fun summer dress.

This is a super easy clothes refashion tutorial. The maternity shirt already had some length to it to be able to cover a growing belly. To refashion it to a dress, I simply sewed lace trim along the bottom hemline. The lace also really elevates the style, adding some much loved elegance.

Today we will be making a t-shirt that I have been thinking about making since the early spring, but put on hold until after my pregnancy; my Lacy Summer T-Shirt Tutorial.  Though the end of summer may be in sight, there are still plenty of warm sunny days ahead and what better way to enjoy the last days of summer than with a light t-shirt made even lighter from a partially lacy back.  I’ve seen a lot of wonderful examples of t-shirts incorporating lace into their design out there in the blogosphere.  Some of my favorite sources of inspiration include posts from Cotton and Curls, Pearls and Scissors, and So, Zo…What do you Know?.  Today will be my own take on the subject.  This shirt will have a scooped neckline and hemline to match.  The lace on the back of the shirt will mimic the scooped hemline.  Read on for my lacy summer t-shirt tutorial.
