T-shirt tunic for little girls

I found an easy tutorial for making a t-shirt into a little girl's tunic. I made two for Ricki's daughter Mollie this week and had to really cut the t-shirts down. However, the pattern calls for a men's medium or large. It seems to me that this would be suitable for girls ages 4-7.

Iron the t-shirt (as you can see from my photos, I skipped this step!) and lay it on a flat surface. Use the guide below to mark and cut the t-shirt.

Fold the top edge over one inch and pin it. Sew the fold along the edge so that a ribbon can go through the channel you've created.

Attach a safety pin to a 48 inch long 3/4 inch wide fabric ribbon. Feed the ribbon pin first through both channels to form a loop. Pull the ribbon to cinch up the neck of the tunic. Making sure the hole is big enough for the head, tie the ribbon ends in a bow.

(Sorry the photos are in a weird order. I have no control over that when I post from my iPhone.

Baby headbands

I made these headbands for Meredith's baby girl Evelyn (who should be arriving any day now!). I made it up as I went a long, but here's the gist. For the pink one I did five single crochet stitches and then just started doing the back and forth like I'd do with a scarf. I made a rough estimate of how big the baby's head would be (airing on the big side so little Evelyn can grow into it). I used a slip stitch to try it off. I then used thread to sew it together and to sew the flower on (my friend Sandy made that). I used a similar strategy for the yellow one, but I used the double crochet stitch instead. I used a 6.5mm crochet hook to do both. Hope that's helpful!
