Hello Hive
This way I have ended up creating and sewing more and more clothes for myself and friends when they bring their fabrics; this equally helps me to practice more. I have made this off-shoulder blouse for myself for a while now and have never worn it.
Sometimes after I finish making a design, I just feel like they are not as beautiful as how I wished them to be. The idea may have been a creative one, but after making it, I just don't feel that way anymore, hence I end up not wearing some of the clothes I make or gifting them out to people.
My niece clocked 3 years just a few days ago; she is the only one sharing the same birth month with me. I have been really fond of her ever since she was born, and watching her grow has taught me a lot about motherhood and parenting.
I was practically involved in raising her up from day one, and watching her grow was a beauty. Right from when she was barely a few months old, I have used her to practice and learn how to grow children's clothes. I was always afraid of making baby clothes because of their small size, but I have used my niece to practice all along until I got better with sewing children's clothes and their tiny measurements.
I made it a tradition to create a memory for them on every birthday, even if there are no cakes. My babies get to snap some pictures in a new outfit, and we compare their growth with the previous years.
Last week I completely forgot the birthday date as I have been engaged in a lot of activities these days with farm work and others.
She came visiting and told me that
"Aunty, I am doing birthday today."
I was not surprised because her mom must have sang her the birthday song and prayed for her even though she is just 3 years old.
Having reminded me, I could only bless her with snacks and promised that the gift would come later.
Since I didn't have any fabric to make an outfit for her and it's not a favorable time to purchase some either, I found this blouse and decided to make use of it. Since she is still small, my blouse can make her a dress.
What type of dress can I make?
First ripped off the seam
Wanted to make a flair dress but decided against it since the fabric won't be enough.
I had cut out a simple A-line dress.
I removed the cape of my blouse and sewed it around the hem of the dress for her.
Fabric was exhausted, but I can match this with a plain black fabric that I had used for the sleeve.
Fixed in an elastic band, and my niece's dress is ready. Any moments she comes around
I have at least a birthday dress waiting, and we can snap the picture to keep and mark my baby at 3 years of age. 🥂💕

This transformation is a success! I really liked how you marked the silhouette to be sewn on the shirt, without being too complicated. Congratulations on the beautiful result! 💖
Thank you so much dearie
Hi Monica, how nice that you were able to take advantage of this project for a new outfit for your niece. No doubt seeing them grow is very nice and working with small sizes too. I send you greetings, happy Tuesday 💞
Thank you so much dearie 🎉💕
I appreciate the kind words.
Happy Tuesday dear
Wow! This was so thoughtful of you to quickly make out something. I'm sure the little girl will love the dress. It's pretty
Wow, beautiful transformation. I love it. Your niece will be happy about this transformation. Happy birthday to her
I love how the dress turned out. The things you learn to do in a time of crisis. I'm sure it will look great on your niece, I hope she likes it too. Good job, greetings and blessings to you and your baby.
This is so adorable (her broad smile says it all) and you are doing a great job with your niece.💕✨
