Spring Wardrobe Makeover Inspiration

Among the many other crafty things I have in mind to do this spring, I definitely need to make some awesome modified t-shirts. There are so many freaking awesome tutorials floating around the blog-o-sphere right now I wanted to share some of my favorites in case you're looking to do some Spring Sewing along with your Spring Cleaning.  I've also got a "Clothing Crafts" board on my Pinterest account that you can follow if you're a Pinterest member (Not sure what Pinterest is? Tidymom wrote a really great intro here)

Spring Cleaning, Baby Style

Our little guy is an army crawler. He's been working on forward motion for almost 4 months now and except for when he is crawling over things, pulls himself with his arms and crawls on his belly. He's capable of crawling on his hands and knees...he just doesn't.  Which, really, is just fine with me because now it means he can contribute to household chores.  How? With this nifty-neat-o Cleaning Crew baby bodysuit:

Front:

Back:

And what's even better?  It only cost $3 to make!

Cleaning Crew Baby Bodysuit: $3
Plain White Baby Bodysuit: $2 from Walmart (or $1 if your dollar store carries them)
Car Washing Mitt: $1 from Dollar Tree
Freezer Paper for stencil: On Hand
Paint brushes & Fabric paint: On Hand

If you, too, would like to put your small child to work cleaning your hard floors, read the rest to check out the full tutorial.
