Materials

I bought a cute cotton ladies top from an opp shop for 30 cents. Then I went all out and spent $2.50 on bias tape...

What was your inspiration?

My Little Monkey is my inspiration :) Besides, this top was practically screaming at me, "Look I am on a No-One-Wants-Me rack, I will make a perfect dress or a top for your Little Monkey"... How could I resist such an offer ;)

What are you most proud of?

I like it how a rather boring ladies top became a fun toddler top :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Recycling is heaps of fun, and it is cheap. Go for it! What do you have to loose? Well, maybe 30 cents ;)

Thank you :) I will certainly do more recicling :) I have a dress I haven't worn in years... I think it will make a cute toddler dress :) One day :)
