I have had such a wonderful week sharing all my Semi-Handmade Spring Wardrobe creations with you all!
Here’s a recap of Savannah’s entire Spring Wardrobe made by her mama. The rest of her clothing is more basic play clothes. I got her some denim shorts, khaki shorts, two pairs of knit shorts and some knit capris. I think she may need another pair of capris or so, but this should have her set for awhile, don’t you think?
Butterfly Dress
Created from an old, stained polo shirt
Bumble Bee Skirt
Created to match a store-bought tank
Cupcake Dress
Created from an old dress and the applique from a stained t-shirt
Yoga Band Skirt

“Too Sweet” High-Waisted Dress

Ruffle Front Party Dress

Finally, I included three other pieces in this recap that weren’t semi-handmade, but I made them for Savannah to wear this spring/summer so they are part of her wardrobe……

Awesome! I love it. Can’t wait until KCWC next week, there’s definitely going to be some refashioning on the menu.
I love it all!! Awesome job!
Such a cute wardrobe, great ideas. I just want to know how you got your daughter to just stain the bottoms of her shirts? My kids always stained the necklines! lol
Such a wonderful spring collection. I keep in mind.
