Baby Girl Outfit {Gift}

I guest posted this cute skirt over at DIY Kinda Girl on Wednesday.  I included a tutorial with it, so if you are interested, please go check it out!

My friend is due to have a baby girl in October, so I decided to make some cute little girly accessories/clothing for her.  I have been dying to make girl accessories lately, but don't have any girls to make them for!  I was so excited when she found out she was having a girl!

I decided to make a little outfit.  I had to buy a few things, but had most of what I used in my stash!

Here is what I bought:
2- Fat Quarters (only used one)
Onesie
Tulle
Hair Clips

Here is what I had on hand that I used:
T-shirt (never been worn, but about to be thrifted)
Jeans (almost new)
Ribbon
Flowers
Brads
Thread
Elastic
Felt
Buttons
White Sheet

This onesie was on the clearance rack and says "Born in 2011" on the front.  No problem - these ruffles covered them up handsomely!  I made the ruffles using a 1" strip of t-shirt and 1 1/2" of pink tulle (same as from skirt).  I gathered them together and then pinned and sewed on the onesie.

I made this cute little pom pom embellishment to add some more pizazz to the ruffles!

I pinned the pattern for these booties a while ago, and shared it here.  If you want to go straight to the pattern, click here.  I used some of the fat quarter, t-shirt, a sheet (white inside), and I had some grippy sole stuff (not sure what it's called) that I put on the bottom of the booties.  It was leftover from my dinosaur project here.

I made the flower clips from things I had on hand: flowers, brads, ribbon, and clips.  I like to cover the clips with velvety ribbon so they don't slide down the hair as easily.  My favorite flower is the white one with the blue pearly center.

I will be linking this up here and here.

Thrifty Skirt

I found a skirt at Old Navy that was originally about $25, marked down 75%, which made it about $6.  I tried it on and loved it.  There were two problems though.  The zipper was broken, and it was the only one left.  Also, it was a tad bit too short for me.  Then, all of a sudden, I got a bright idea.  Duh!  I could fix the zipper!  So, I bought it, and they gave me and extra 50% off because the zipper was broken.  The cashier told me there was no way I could return it.  No problem.  For $3 I can fix it!

I bought a new zipper and some eyelet lace to add to the bottom.

It was a really quick fix, and I've already worn it.  I like wearing a pink shirt with it, so I can wear my favorite pink polka dot shoes.  I also wore my pink rolled rose bracelet with it.
