After the sleeves started getting a little tattered, I cut them off as well as the neck and wore it to work out in. After several years like this, the waistband was even starting to tatter. So I knew it was time to give this guy up.
Or not.
I decided to upcycle it for Olivia! And thus one of my new ideas for my etsy spring line was discovered. Vintage toddler sweatshirts. I don't have boxes of awesome sweatshirts so I'll have to start frequenting the thrift stores more often. But seriously, how cute is Olivia in this new top?
It's a little nerve wracking to let my kid walk around in this shirt, but it's already been spit up on, thrown up on and food splattered on it, so I think it's safe.
Super cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteThat is seriously the cutest! I had no idea you had an Etsy line. Off to creep on it.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteNevermind. I will creep on it when you add it to your shop. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm such a slacker since we moved!
DeleteOh my gosh Kim that is so cute! You're amazing. And Olivia...gorgeous in that BYU sweatshirt. Go couagrs! :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I need to find one to make for sweet Paige! Do you know any good thrift stores in Logan we can hit up next week???
DeleteWhen you get your sweatshirts going on Etsy, make sure that you have something extra cool in size 4T or 5T for my kid. :) I will buy one.
ReplyDeleteTotally!! I plan to list the sweatshirts I find BEFORE I cut them out so that I can make the size needed, since I'll only have one of each design.
DeleteI love this so much
ReplyDeleteThanks friend. Love your support.
Deletethat turned out so freaking cute! thrifting isn't really my thing, but i would probably be willing to hit up some thrift stores for this cute thing.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to plan a trip to DI! I'm not great at it, but I wish I was.
DeleteOkay, so I can't believe I am about to admit this... but I like that sweatshirt and love that you found another way to use it still. Gosh, my little Ute Fan heart can't believe I just said that! haha :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet! Haha!! I found theee cutest Ute sweatshirt at Target and I almost bought it. My husband is a Utes fan so my kids have gear for both teams :)
DeleteThis is such a great idea and you did such a great job on it!

Thank you!!
DeleteThat's awesome that you were able to upcycle the sweatshirt for your daughter. I wish I could sew that well. Pillows I can handle, everything else- not so much!!
ReplyDeletePillows are a great place to start practicing!!
