refashioning noelle's clothing

i really like this top, bought last year when noelle was about 8 month.. it's cotton on kids, size 1-2. she wore it until she was almost 1 year because the top became too tight in the armpit area, a bit short on the sleeves as well as the hem, it shows her belly when she moves and i don't like it. so, refashioning came across my mind.


i was thinking about cutting the sleeves, but i think i really need to use every inches of the sleeve because i want to make extention for the hem, and i was thinking about ruffles. not a very ruffly ruffles, just ruffles. so, i just pick the armhole seams and the hem.


i got two sleeves, cut diagonally about 7cm for each strips, sew one another to make one long strips and then sew to make gather (ruffle) as wide as the hem. then sew the ruffle on the hem.


voilla, she got a "NEW" top.. sleeveless with a bit ruffle :)
