Another t-shirt to kids dress - Clothes upcycling challenge day 25

Today's upcycle is another t-shirt dress, this time for my elder daughter. 

I used this old singlet of my husbands for the main body of the dress..

This old, too-small leggings from my younger daughter for the trims and straps..

And this too-small t-shirt for the ruffles..

To make a nice comfy and colourful dress!

With just a plain back!

I've almost used up all the old clothes now - and having learnt lots about clothes making along the way, I'm itching to start making some clothes with fresh fabric!!  But that will have to wait till next month!  Still 6 more days to go - got to finish this challenge and empty that box!!

    I have a bag of clothes in the hallway waiting to go on a charity run. Every post I see of yours inspires me that little bit more to move it to the sewing room!
