Pintrest! an heirloom

So pintrest...

For someone who enjoys crafts, pintrest is like a gold mine. I have found several ideas for things that I want to make and a few that I have done already. Tonight I began working on one that is very close to my heart.

My dad died when I was 5 years old. I only have a few memories of him and one of the things that is hard now is the fact my daughter will never be able to meet him. I have several things of his given to my by my Granny. Out of that, she gave me 5-6 of his old shirts. I have kept them for several years thinking one day I would make a quilt or something out of them to hand down to my kids. Today I got my inspiration.

A very popular pintrest DIY is the pillowcase dress or skirt. So I am modifying it to fit a 6 month old baby. I am super excited as one of the shirts is a plaid with pink, purple, and blue in it. I have started cutting it out and finished a headband already to match. The headband made me even more excited about the idea.

When it is finish I will get some professional photos done with her in it to send to my uncle (who has been an amazing father to me) and my Granny and Grandad. What an awesome heirloom this will be for Jayna to pass down to her daughter someday. I can't wait to see the end result and I will be sure to share it here to.
