repurposing Packer apparel


To celebrate the Green Bay Packers 11-0 record,
I'm going to show you what I did to the Packer t-shirt I bought for my granddaughter.


Hey, you don't tour Lambeau Field without bringing back t-shirts for your favorite girls! 
But I had to laugh, because after this little photo shoot, 
Emolyn said to me ever so sweetly ~
"Mimi, I don't like looking like a boy. I like dressing like a girl."


Well then, I know a challenge when I see one!
So the day before Thanksgiving I went to the ARC and bought a mens t-shirt for a dollar.
I didn't have emolyn's t-shirt with me,
so I had not a clue as to whether the greens would match.
But they did! Perfectly!


I could not have been more pleased with the final results! 
The t-shirt dress turned out just as I had envisioned it would.
I didn't have time to transform Elsie's t-shirt,
but you can be sure that come Super Bowl XLVI ~ hers will be completed too.
Umm, hello! The Packers better be playing in the Super Bowl!!


So, did I take a picture of Emolyn wearing the dress on Thanksgiving Day ~
during the Green Bay Packers awesome WIN over the Lions? Heck no! 
Thankfully she was thrilled with the dress but before I could snap a picture,
she was on to more important apparel. Like fancy princess dresses.

I'm linking up with my favorite link parties ~

LOVE!!!! I wish I knew how many of these I made when all my nieces were little... before I had kids. So quick and easy to make! I'm sure Em was thrilled! Hope you were able to watch the game. Hate to hear your cable wasn't working!

Very cute! Maybe some lace trim along the bottom would add to the girliness too.

You're so creative!
