I’ve always secretly hoped that my first child will be a girl, largely because of adorable projects like this rose petal dress. DSC reader Emmylou Hart came up with this cute little number for her blog, sewn, using a light pink girls t-shirt and a bag of silk rose petals. The instructions will make any size dress from infant up to 4t. Emmylou also has a lot of other great t-shirt altering projects on her blog – be sure to check it out!

You could also make a fall version of this dress using silk leaves in autumn colors. To make a shirt larger than size 4t, try using a womens t-shirt rather than a girls size.
Project estimate:
- Girls t-shirt, $1
- Silk rose petals, $1
- Elastic thread, on hand or $1 and up
Total: $2 and up

this is PERFECT!!! i bought a bag of those at the DT a few weeks ago KNOWING FULL WELL there’d be some sort of awesome project to use them in…but my brain came up with NONE!!! the dress is completely cute! can’t wait to make it! (wonder how many dozens of bags i’d have to buy to make me a matching one too!! lol)
