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.

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!

DIY – Upcycle Romper into Tunic Top Tutorial

My sister recently gave me a romper which is cute, but is just way too short.  I’m somebody’s mother now (!!! still such a wonderful and wild experience !!!), so there are some lengths I just will not wear anymore.  But the material is so pretty and the sleeves are so fun, so I decided to upcyle it and turn the romper into a tunic top.  I’ve been on an upcycling kick lately turning a sweater into a skirt, and earrings into a necklace. Giving new life to old things is really rewarding and surprisingly easy.

I paired my new tunic along with my previously upcycled ankle length summer jeans.  Read on for my full tutorial…
