I love this little shirt my niece handed down to my daughter.
It always looked a little masculine on her, though, and it was hard to make it girly. I just wanted something easy and fun to add a little pop to the the shirt.
I decided to look through this basket of buttons from my Grandma Weetie and found the perfect ones to use.
I thought the bright red would stand out nicely and wanted something a little more subtle for the pockets. This lime green was perfect.
I just used a seam ripper to remove the buttons and hand sewed the new buttons on.
Note: It’s really important to test the new buttons out first to make sure they will fit through the holes. Let’s just say you learn from experience on this one!
Now the shirt has a little personality to it with just a simple change of buttons!

Super cute idea, I think I should try on my daughter’s stuff. She would love this.
What a simple clever idea! I wouldn’t have though to change the buttons but I love it! 🙂
Love it! Looks so adorable on your little girl!
Those buttons are so cute! I love button downs, but they can look boyish on a girl…what a creative way to add a feminine touch!
Such a big change by adding buttons!
That is awesome. I wish I was more hands on when it came to things like these.. One day I’ll take up sowing. Thanks for sharing.
