Sunset Besties

Remember when you went to the store with your best friend, and you picked out those necklaces that when you put the two halves together it made a heart that said "Best Friends" and then you pinkie swore to keep each other's secrets for ever and ever?



Violet and Kiya are besties.



When I gave them the shirts they squealed and one of them said, "Look! It makes a whole sunset!"


I thrifted 4 shirts to make them and used this pattern from the Crafty Cupboard blog. I just cut the pattern at the waist line and used that for the color block line. I also didn't include the waist elastic, I thought it would be to much with the sun right there. I skipped the flutter sleeve only because the light pink material of the yoke was being a beast to gather, so I bound the arm holes with a strip of sun yellow and called it good. I left the bottom hem unfinished (love me some knit fabric) because they were starting to get a tad on the short side.  This will also be my second time entering the Project Run and Play monthly link up party here :) Lots of great ideas there!!

  2. Oh those are too cute! I love the idea... I may have to do something similar for my princess and her cousin/BFF. Seriously brilliant idea you had, and wonderfully executed.
