Baby Boy's Premade Scrapbook

These are the pics for the baby boy scrapbook I'm selling. They are a bit out of order.  There is a tear bear and pull-out journaling sheet on most layouts. I use archival quality paper and embellishments.

Men's Shirt to Women's shirt

My hubby ripped his shirt on the doorknob this morning and the rip was too much to try to fix so I told him it was mine now:) 

1. Take off pocket. (Unless you want the pocket, but my ruffles wouldn't fit if I kept it.)

2. Lay a shirt that fits over and cut up the sides.

3. Cut some new sleeve out of the old sleeves. I wanted mine a bit poofy, so I cut bigger sleeves.

4. Pin sleeves to shirt (right sides together.)  Gather, if doing poofy sleeves.

5. Sew, then topstich.

6. Make a bias out of extra fabric. Sew into circles to go around edge of sleeves.

7. Pin bias on, gathering sleeves.  You could do a gathering stitch on the sleeves to make the gathers more even, but I didn't want to take the time.

8. Wrap the bias around and pin again.  Sew.  At this point you could just leave the shirt if you wanted.

9. I added ruffles and a belt.

Much better than throwing the shirt away.

Recycled Denim Skirt

I've tried recycling this skirt many times.  This is the current makeover.  Big rosette on shabby skirt.  A fun way to use denim scraps.

Alien Costume

I had bought some alien glasses on clearance after Halloween last year and my daughter really wanted to be one so, I bought 4 t-shirts from the dollar store and cut and sewed. For her hair, I stuck a small collander on top of her head, then pulled the hair up around it to make her look like she had a big head.
