I think it is really good to extend the life of a old tee to become a new baby pants, especially when u really love the tee, but because of some reasons u can't wear it anymore.

Here is an awesome tutorial for turning dad's old tee to baby new clothes,
If u want a simple one, you can also take a look of what i have done.

draw the pattern of the pants

cut it and then sew the side and bottom of it

add the elastic band on top and it is done!

I add some cloud and rain drops to decorate it.

pants for home!

Paper Piecing - SUMMER JUICE

I just found that paper piecing is interesting, it is not as difficult as i think, and it is full of creativity of making the pattern and matching the fabric.

I don't like the normal quilting because i think it is too boring, too geometrical, too country style, and sometimes old fashioned, but after seeing the work of Ayumi from Pink Penguin, I just found this is what i want to learn and perfect to decoration my daughter's room.

I think I have to follow the tutorial step by step and here I chose 2 paper piecing pattens to start with:

1) Juice Glass Block tutorial
2) Tea pot tutorial

And I've just finished the juice glass one.

this is the pattern i used
