Turn an Adult T-Shirt into a Newborn Gown

     Over time on Pinterest, I've collected a lot of pins, so it's not really that surprising that I'm this excited to finally make use of all the baby item sewing tutorials I've saved.  One such pin links to a great tutorial on This Mama Makes Stuff for turning an adult t-shirt into a newborn gown.  I was glad to make use of this pattern because I had set aside a couple of Andrew's shirts that were holey, but unique, and nicely worn to a thin softness.  After I made one, I asked my dad if he wanted to contribute any old t-shirts and he gave me a bagful, too.  My only comment on the tutorial/pattern is that the neckline's curved hem really is tricky, so don't beat yourself up too much if it's not perfect.  Mine certainly weren't.  See for yourself:

Here are my finished gowns! First try, with Andrew's shirt:

     This one's from my dad, who as an avid poker player gets plenty of t-shirts from casinos.  The funny thing is, his name is actually Jerry, too, so I thought it was pretty appropriate that his grandson wear something making him "Jerry's Nugget". :) For this one, I used the logo as a patch, because the back of it was scratchy.  This way there's another layer between it and sensitive baby skin.  Always an option!
