DD had a very cute pair of girly jean bibs with butterflies in the denim. I loved them and I got them for only 6.00 (with a shirt, too). I was really unhappy though as they got older because the snaps on the legs never wanted to stay shut. So, I was trying to figure out how to reuse them in some way. Ah ha! A bib jumper. So, I kept my eye out for some cute cheap fabric on my fabric shopping trips. Well, I scored big at a recent JoAnn's sale and got this baby-fine corduroy that was tie-dyed. It was also 1/2 off the clearance price, yeah!!! So, I used the tee-shirt dress idea and cut-off the legs from the bibs (just under the waist band) and sewed on a gathered skirt. It is such a fun playdress! It was a bit tough for my machine to sew through all the layers (denim and gathered corduroy) but it worked out fine.

It even matches her favorite purple shirt!!! Perfection!
