How to Make a T-shirt
Dress
(How to Make a Dress out
of a T-shirt)
|
|
 |
First gather up your supplies.
This t-shirt dress is quick, simple, and easy to make. You will need a
t-shirt and some fabric for the bottom or skirt part of your dress. |
|
 |
Depending on how long you want
the t-shirt to be and where you want your fabric skirt part to be, cut off
the bottom of your shirt. (For this dress, I cut off 4".) |
|
 |
Depending on how much of a
gather you would like on your fabric skirt part of the dress and how long
you want your dress to be cut fabric rectangles. You may have to sew
two together. For this skirt I wanted
it quit gathered and pretty long, so I used 14" wide X 56" long fabric
pieces. I did have to sew two together, to get a more "gathered"
look.
Sew your fabric rectangles together to make
on big circle.

instructions on gathering. |

 |
Pin your t-shirt and gathered
fabric skirt part PRETTY SIDES TOGETHER. Make sure your gathering is even.
Stitch in place. |
|
 |
Make sure you do a zigzag seam
finish on your seam edges as shown in the photo. |
|
 |
Fold up your hem at the
desired length you want your dress to be. Fold it up twice (1/2"
each time) to the ugly side of your dress and press. Pin. Stitch. |
|
 |
Now the fun part.
Embellish your dress with button, lace, ribbon, bows, etc.... |
