As a stay at home mom, I feel that it is my responsibility to earn money by saving it wherever I can. Sewing is a great way to save money on clothes and projects- if you can avoid spending too much on fabric which can happen all too easily! Today I want to share a sewing project that I didn't spend a cent on! Everyone has a stack of t shirts that they don't wear but they're not willing to get rid of, myself included, so I was pretty excited when I found this pattern for baby shortalls made from adult t shirts.
I won't go into detail since you can already find an awesome tutorial as well as the pattern on
Feathers Flights. I also altered the pattern for some of my smaller, more feminine cut t shirts that didn't yield enough fabric for the whole pattern and got an adorable little t shirt!
This was a really fun project and what a great way to recycle those t shirts that I didn't want to part with, and the more I add to the dresser, the less we spend on baby clothes. I used to roll my eyes at my mom when she recited this age old saying, but she was right, a penny saved really is a penny earned!
I would also recommend exploring
Feathers Flights for more awesome sewing projects, tips, and tutorials!
