My friend found this link to the cutest (and EASY!) toddler dress. I had attempted to make two shirts for myself a few years ago and after both projects ending in sizing catastrophes I told myself never to try sewing clothes again. Well, after seeing this little dress I felt hopeful that my clothes sewing future was brightening. Toddler girls clothing is also a lot more forgiving then crazy post-partum woman's body so that helps.
This is the first one I did, for the friend that shared the link and her little girl. Little Norah is just the cutest ever and I love how she accessorized. I can't take credit for anything but the dress though :) Actually, I made a little head band as well, as shown in the first picture. 
And after feeling somewhat encouraged by the first toddler dress, I attempted another for friends in Africa who now have two little girls. I still don't know if it fits, but I was quite happy with the end result. Not bad for a shirt I found for 50 cents at a garage sale!

Those dresses are adorable!! I especially love that they are recycled dress shirts. How do people come up with these ideas!?! I wish I were that creative. If I ever have the need for a toddler dress, I'm definitely going to try that.
