So lately I am all about the 3 R's...I wish those R's were only two R's and I could say we were getting lots of rest and relaxation however that is not so. I mean the reduce (not with diapers of course), reuse and recycle. My husband likes to recycle but laughs at what I try to reuse. Take this shirt that Chris is wearing in the next picture for example. Love the shirt, one day however it got some cleaning solution and a few small bleach spots on it. Chris won't wear anything that has a slight flaw, hole, scratch ect. He was going to throw out this perfectly nice looking shirt (that was NOT a steal of a deal from Nordstrom!)
He laughed when I said how about I make it into another shirt. One for Kaden and if we have a girl I will make a dress with the fabric on top and black on the bottom and if we have a boy they can have matching shirts. Chris LAUGHED again (I am the queen of unfinished projects but it is a nice thought right?) And when I looked at Nordstrom the toddler Ben Sherman shirts they were like 40-50 dollars so I can have a homeade one for free! So last night I finally sewed the pocket on Kaden's shirt I felt a little overwhelmed by this project with no pattern and all. We will see if in all my free time I get Beckham's done while he is small enough to wear it...? The idea of making two shirts was maybe a bit ambitious but one is better than none right!?
Not totally professional but Kaden looks cute in it and it was going to be sitting in a dump or DI somewhere so I am glad we got a little more life out of the shirt!
