My boys love to engage in pretend play, and recently they decided to set up a teddy bear clinic in our living room. We needed a quick doctor lab coat costume, so I came up with this simple no-sew version.
Isn't it cute? I started with an inexpensive (adult) white t-shirt.
Then, I used a sharpie to draw a red cross onto the t-shirt.
Finally, I used sharp fabric scissors to cut straight up the middle of the shirt.
My boys had a great time playing "doctor" with all of their stuffed animals. Such a great way to spend an afternoon, don't you think? Would your little ones love this "no-sew" doctor lab coat?

Wishing you a lovely day.

Does it fray or fall apart easily? I am thinking of making these for my daughter's birthday party and don't want them falling apart right away.

ReplyDeleteIt may depend on the t-shirt, but mine is still fine, and I've had it for a couple of years.
DeleteThank you!I will definitely be making these then!

DeletePure Genius! My son wanted to dress up as a doctor for his career day at school. You just saved me time and money from going out and buying a doctor costume!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I always consider it a huge "win" when I save time and money. ;-)
DeleteI will definitely make it for my preschoolers. We are learning about healthcare professionals. It will be a great prop to add to my dramatic play. Thanks for this idea!
