ToddlerDress

This time I designed and made toddler summer dresses and shirts from recycled materials. Did you know that manufacturing one single cotton T-shirt needs for average 2 700 liters of water. That's as much water as one person drinks in 2½ years!

I received few bags of old adult T-shirts to be used in making rag rugs. For some reason also adults grow up their clothes and so they wake up on one morning only to notice one piece of clothes is too small for them even they would still like to wear it. 

I found few pretty shirts which were still good enough as clothes. That's why I decided to make some new summer clothes for my grand daughter. 

I used only old T-shirts and textile industry left over material (elastic bands etc.) I must tell everyone who has seen these shirts and dresses has fall in love with them and the idea. 

Every day my grand daughter has a new favorite of these 5 new clothes. She loves each of them. Also, it is funny when people who donated a shirt notices Her dress/shirt is made of that. It brings a happy smile one everyone's face.

This is FashionNOW. This is an excellent way to recycle and avoid buying new clothes each time your kid seems to need one. My grand daughter asked what clothes these are. I told they are Save The Nature clothes and after that she didn't want to wear anything else. She is just 3 but thanks to the education she already knows -at child level- what it all means.
