Upcycle your favourite baby clothes by sewing them on as appliques onto new clothes!

My girls had some super cute baby and toddler clothes. Not too eager to move away from the preschooler stage – I had a really hard time passing on certain items. I just loved them so much!

I love to recycle, repurpose and reinvent new things. This sort of project I could do over and over. It’s so easy! Don’t think that this is just for kids. If a garment has a great picture or embellishment on it-why not salvage it by sewing it onto something else.

I searched high and low to find a good picture of one of the girls wearing the shirts used in this post but there always seemed to be something blocking the embellishment. Here they are at Grandma and Grampa’s having a tea party and using the good china. M is wearing the little black top but you can’t see it. When I look at the photos of them it makes me so nostalgic for their younger days. It’s probably why I save their shirts…happy memories of years gone by.
