She adores this shirt, but it has been much loved and doesn't fit well anymore.
We decide to save the dog and sew him onto a new shirt.
I keep some of the old shirt around the edge of the dog to make it more interesting.
I pinned him on, and quickly used the machine to make his new home more permanent.
Instead of letting the rest of the shirt go to waste,
we decide that her American Girl doll could use some new jammie pants.
Taking a pair of her existing pants, we lay them folded in half on each sleeve.
Cut around the pants, allowing enough extra for the seam.
Pin together inside out and stitch all the way around from front to back.
Fold over the top and sew closed, leaving a section open to add elastic.
She looks much more comfortable now.
We'll see what else we can make with the extra scraps later.
While we're at it, we bunched up some extra tulle,
and added an old belt around the waist to make her a fancy tu-tu.
With the extra piece of belt and extra elastic, she now has a matching headband.
