Slightly Modified

I adore clearance. Since long-sleeved season is (thankfully) over, this $1.50 shirt (already in Sof's favorite color) only needed slight modification.


I chopped off the long sleeves, leaving some ties and making a "keyhole".


I think they look pretty cute. No sewing required.


Sofia would only let me cut off the sleeves if I promised to let her have the remnants for stuffie clothing.

I did...because she's a pretty brilliant seamstress for a 10-year-old...and very creative for an any-age-year-old.



Don't ya think?

  1. Sofia is an amazingly creative seamstress. I was in awe over her Pikachu costume. I love this tiger too! I also loved her Pikachu hotel and the kids' court with the typewritten notes. Your kids are all very creative. I'm sure you must have even a teensy little bit to do with it. Even if it's sending along the genes or creating a home that encourages it. Really, I admire the creativity I've seen in your family.
