Attempting the Shirt Dress

Awesome finds today at The Clothes Secret on Bank Street here in Ottawa. Paid $3.50 each and I'm thinking of turning these gems into one-of-a-kind summer dresses. I've been browsing and I found a few very cute patterns from some of my favorite sewing blogs. I think that I'm going to "wing it". Having a toddler sized mannequin really helps...

And I REALLY hope this last one is a joke. If I ever made this for my partner, he's probably move out.

Wish me luck! I'll post pictures of my progress!
