Sweater Dress to Shirt Refashion Tutorial

Hello all! Today we have a really quick and easy dress to shirt refashion. It should be straight forward. The only thing of concern is that I am refashioning a sweater dress. Fingers crossed everything doesn’t unravel!

So, I’m a mom and I’m older. As such, I tend to not wear styles as youthful as I once did. Especially since the only places I’m going to these days are the office, the kids’ school and daycare, and the grocery store. (Thank you pandemic!)

I have this sweater dress that I used to love to wear. However, the butt area is a bit too form fitting and short for me now. I’m self-conscious wearing it so I just don’t wear it anymore. I still like the way it fits, so I’m going to cut the skirt part off and turn it into a sweater shirt. Here we go!

I have been in love with my homemade French Striped Dress and decided, why not continue on with that theme? Besides, you can’t have too much of a good thing, right? So… I will return to the 1960s here with another boat neckline dress (with pockets, naturally!), but this one will be an homage to the lovely Audrey Hepburn.  That woman had class! Read on for my full Audrey Hepburn dress tutorial!

35 weeks!

Spring is just around the corner (I hope!) and I’ve got spring clothes on my mind.  I’m still very much pregnant, but I want to try and make something that I can adapt and wear after the baby comes as well.  So today, we will be making a back tie maternity tunic.  It will be a simple tunic with a detail of a tie on the back neckline.  A little comfy, a little airy, a little springy?  I hope so because that is what I am going for! 🙂

Spring is finally here and I want to celebrate with an embroidered tunic.  I want a shirt that’s somewhat light, airy, and fun to accompany my mood (I’m not a winter person and am celebrating the warmer, longer days).  I’m thinking a boxy shape, 3/4 length sleeves, with a deep v-neck in the front.  It will be a longer tunic, with the sides split up to the waist.  For the color, I’m thinking off-white with some fancy stitching around the edges.  Sound good?  Let’s get sewing!
