Today it\u2019s all about ready-to-wear inspiration and you\u2019ll find lots of inspiration here today. I\u2019ve gathered over a half dozen garment ideas to inspire you to sew-it-yourself with Oliver + S.<\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> First up, how gorgeous is this dress<\/a>? It\u2019s been a really popular pin. You can recreate this look and we are here to help you. Take the Garden Party Dress<\/a> and a large floral print, maybe a Liberty of London? Sew it up without the waistband, then add tassel trimmed sleeves. For more inspiration, see our Adding Pompoms and Tassels to Oliver + S Patterns<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> For this one<\/a>, create a similar look with the Lunch Box Tee<\/a> and the Parachute Sweatpants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Turn the School Bus T-shirt<\/a> into a dress with a front placket. To produce a similar dress<\/a> follow the links here<\/a> on how to turn a t-shirt into a dress, then visit our front placket tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> How about a sweet cat t-shirt<\/a>? Recreate it with the Field Trip Raglan T-shirt<\/a>, of course!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

5)<\/strong> Next, make a darling pair of leggings like these<\/a>, using the Playtime Leggings<\/a> pattern.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

6)<\/strong> Turn the Secret Agent Trench Coat<\/a> into a cute dress<\/a>. Consult the Building Block Dress book<\/a> for help with achieving that.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

7)<\/strong> How cute is this<\/a>? Recreate it with the the Lunch Box Tee<\/a>. Turn it into a dress by attaching a gathered skirt.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

8)<\/strong> And finally, let this<\/a> inspire you to sew up a Hide-and-Seek Dress<\/a>. Isn\u2019t it beautiful?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n
