Coco's T-shirt Tunic

Time to start trying out some of those cool T-shirt projects! Using the Sienna Dress Pattern, I made Coco this tunic out of some shirts in my giveaway bag. It is supposed to be a dress, but she has huge cloth diaper booty and long legs! Now I know to size up! The pattern was really easy and fun. It only took an hour, so that is my kind of project!




P.S. For the fam, she is eating a mojo and I used Kelsy's old shirts!
