Last time I was at Value Village, and I was looking for used baby clothes with tiny stripes, it occurred to me that many of the onesies had embroidered figures on the front, and they might make cute tops for my little dolls. So I went through everything they had, and found a few with figures small enough to be on the front of a tiny top. Yesterday I made one up.....

The onesies are very small, but after making one top with a figure on the front, there's still enough fabric left to make at least one more plain top without a figure. Not bad for a dollar or two!

Efreet was very happy with his new top.
It was made using my Free Long-Sleeve T-Shirt Pattern

What a great idea. And I have got to say thank you for your tee shirt pattern that you graciously have on your website. I have used it and it goes together beautifully.

You are very welcome! I'm glad you found the pattern works well. I still don't much like working with stretchy fabric, but I find these T-shirts go together very quickly.

That blue really pops on Efreet. What a wonderful way to recycle. Thank you for your wonderful pattern, you are surely a generous soul, I appreciate you.

Thank you! There are so few fabric stores around anymore, and even then, it's almost impossible to find nice small stripes. So whenever I need a stripe in a certain colour, I'll go to Value Village, and I'm sure to find something that will work. Lady's tops provide the most 'fabric', and baby onesies will often come in tiny all-over patterns - again fabric you'd never find in a fabric store.

That so suits him! And I love his little toy animals too! ((^_^))

Yes, the colour looks great on him. However, he's just modelling it for me, as it is intended for Coco for whenever he comes back home. I suppose I can always make another shirt in that blue, but it won't have the little space alien on it.
