I found one of my favorite shirts of dh's in the closet the other day that he will not wear anymore because its stained. I decided to turn it into a baby top and pants :) I used the neckline and button down part for the tee shirt, used the pre-hemmed sleeves for the shirt sleeves and the bottom of the shirt pre-hemmed for the pants. I also made a matching diaper but didnt take a picture of it.

that turned out really cute! Great idea too

That is so cute!!!! Did you use any kind of pattern, or just wing it. What size was the shirt to begin with?

Thanks guys :) I used the new conceptions body shirt pattern and just made it a shirt instead of a body suit and the new conceptions basic layette pants with about an inch extra at the bottom since I didnt use ribbing on the legs. It was very easy.

Holy cow! Heather?!?!?! I didn't even look at the user name when I posted. You're almost 30w?!?!?! I have thought about you so many times over the last almost year since I left TDE. I am so happy to see you are pregnant!!!! Congrats!!! Do you know what you've having?

Awwww I have thought about you too. You should really come back :) I am having another boy!

That is a great idea. Looks neat!

Great job! I did something similar last week (posted a SNS here) except I used the shirt's sleeves (they were long sleeves) for the baby's pants (like leggings). I liked the fact that they already had cuffs attached.

That looks great!

One of my favorite shirts for Grant was made from an old Lands End polo that Simon had worn holes in. I loved it and so did Grant. He always said it reminded him of Daddy!
