Cozy's Shirt Dress - Remake #3

I've been wanting to make Cozette a "shirt dress" and very nearly used a shirt that actually still fit me! Close call. Then I stumbled across a size small Old Navy blouse (yes, in my closet...from before my 5th pregnancy) that worked and wasn't a big sacrifice.


The dress is the original length of the blouse, but I took off the sleeves, made them 3/4 length (for Cozette, not me), and reshaped the sides of the new dress.


Once the sides were sewn back together, I gathered up the shortened sleeves and sewed them back into place.


From the fabric I took off of the sleeves, I was able to get a pocket and belt loops (which go all of the way around her waist). The flower was a pin I had sitting around. Thank goodness I keep such things.


Tony thinks I should call this look "tiny librarian".
