Hi Everyone! So I went to D.I. to look for a man shirt to transform into a little dress and I was very sadly reminded how overpriced D.I. is! $5-8 for an old shirt? Not happening. I’ll have to wait and hit up some garage sales this summer so I can get shirts for $1 or less.
But in the meantime, I thought I would post about my FAVORITE pattern ever….Simplicity #5695. I got it for 99 cents on sale at Joann’s and have used it more than any other pattern I’ve ever owned. It is so versatile. So far I’ve made three dresses and four summer shirts from it. The best part is that it actually has sleeves and doesn’t require a zipper. I only have pictures of three of the things I’ve made and they are all very similar looking. But I promise the pattern can be changed up quite a bit!
