Upcycled school dress to teddy uniform! - Day 16 Use What You've Got

Tweet

I've been saving my daughter's old school dresses. Ones that have become too worn to mend or patch. We've had a good few years use out of them - for both girls. 

I thought it would be fun to use the fabric to make things for them with.

I've made a few hair scrunchies in the past with them, but this time I thought I might make a keepsake for them.

I kept a couple of teddies the girls discarded at their last clean-out, with this project in mind!

Yesterday I took one teddy and one dress..

..and pieced together a mini school dress for teddy!

What do you think?
I think she may also need a school hat! I know there's an old spare one somewhere I could use...

Have you ever made anything from your kids old uniforms?

I also made a selection of bags from our swim club's old uniform shirts a little while ago! 

You can see what I made from those here.

Happy Upcycling!
