Surprisingly, it turned out adorable! And I may have to make her another. Little known fact, I only have flannel for the cloth wipes right now, so I cut up a pillowcase for fabric.
Here's the shape I started with...
I cut a trapezoid, the cut out the top corners for arm holes. Complicated, I know. Then I proceeded to make a pretty hemmed edges, except for the top, short line. That I hemmed an inch down and left it open on each side. That way I could run the ribbon through it, and tie it shut.
*drumroll...*
Cute, right?! And perfect for the hot, humid, sticky weather we have here during the summer. Even my husband is impressed, that's saying something. So I'm patting my back, and loving that I gave my little idea a shot. I'm loving it big time because it turned out better than I had hoped!
That is the cutest shirt ever!! I love the fabric pattern too. Nice job! I can't sew to save my life...

DeleteI love your pillowcase shirt for your daughter. Not sure if you need any advise since you do so well. What I do when not sure how it will become is make it out of an old paper first. That way you never spill any fabric if it goes wrong.
