I didn't expect much cold weather yet down here in Texas, however the last couple weeks have had me wishing that I had more warm weather for my little babe. Having 3 older brothers, she doesn't have any hand-me-downs and we've bought mainly short sleeved tops.
Well I saw a tutorial on adding long sleeves to short sleeved shirts here. And decided to give it a shot with an old shirt from the boys and and old shirt of mine that were in my garbage pile. Here is the before... Notice the boyish buttons and the discoloration...
I added the sleeves following the directions linked. Next I changed the buttons to clearish/white buttons for a more feminine look. The final step was to add the yo-yo flowers in complimentary fabrics to disguise the discoloration a little.
