Recycled T-Shirt Dress!!!

I am sooo excited about this project!!! I don't even know where to begin to tell you about it...Keep reading for the story behind the dress and details of a fabulous giveaway...

A few months ago, I was in a local baby furniture store that my friend owns and I was admiring some framed name art. The detail in the work was so original and creative. Then, a few weeks ago I found Lil Blue Boo, the blog of Ashley Hackshaw, through One Pretty Thing. I was immediately captured by Ashley's profile because she lives in the same area as me! And, she also has a 3 yr old daughter! Within a few minutes of poking around on her incredibly inspiring blog, I realized she's the artist who creates the framed art I was admiring months ago. One more reason why I love the amazing blogosphere. So, what does this have to do with a T-shirt dress? Keep reading, it gets better!

So...last weekend I hosted a baby shower for a dear friend. I sewed a set of burp cloths for her. When she opened them, another guest said "You made those? Do you have a sewing machine?" After a brief chat about my fairly new passion for sewing, she asked:

"Do you know Ashley Hackshaw?". I immediately responded "I wish I knew Ashley Hackshaw. I love her work, I've peeked at her blog a few times and she is so talented. Do you know her?"
"Yes", she responded "and she's looking for a pattern tester. She has a new pattern that she's going to sell and she needs people to sew the dress and give her feedback on the pattern."
Within a few hours after the shower, I had an e-mail from Ashley with the details and the pattern.

And, last night I finished the dress!!! Here it is...





The white T-shirt was ripped at the bottom and has some paint splatters on it. The other 2 T-Shirts were giveaway items we've gotten at Lakers games. I knew these were the perfect tees for this project! I absolutely love how this turned out!

So, now for the details on the giveaway!

Ashley will be releasing this great pattern in the next few days. But, before it goes up for sale, she'll be giving the pattern away to 3 lucky winners! Not only is this a simple, easy to follow pattern with clear instructions, photos and fantastic tips, it's also got options for ruffles, a halter and other details. And, since it uses recycled tees, it's a green and economical project! If I can make this dress, anyone can make this dress! So...what are you waiting for? Head on over to Ashley's Blog and learn how you can get entered in this great giveaway! Oh, and definitely poke around her blog if you've never visited before...she has sooo many great tutorials and inspiring ideas.
