Tutorial Tuesday: T-shirt dress

Happy Valentine's Day!!! I hope that you are feeling loved today and I hope that everyone has a super hot date tonight, I do! :)

Now that Valentine's Day is over and Easter is a month away, I can start working on somethings that I have wanted to do for awhile now. Like this dress, I have wanted to do this since October but I have been busy doing other crafts since then.

So this next month or so I'm going to try really hard to not spend any money on my crafts. I spent all of my spending money on the cruise, so I'm going to have to use what I have. We'll see what I come up with :)

Now onto this dress for my little girl.

This is how I made it:

1) I took a shirt (it was a size small in girls) and 1/2 yard of fabric.

2) I cut the sleeves

3) I made the sleeves shorter and the shoulder smaller.

4) I then made the shirt smaller, but I still made it A-line.

5) I put the sleeve into the hole, and then sewed the sleeves back on.

Here are the sleeves back onto the shirt.

6) The shirt was a little long, so I cut off the bottom.

Next for the pleats at the bottom.

7) I cut two strips, 5"x45"

8) I folded the fabric in half and ironed it.

9) Then I ironed the fabric to make pleats.

10) I put the pleats under the shirt and sewed it on.

11) I then made another pleated strip (I cut the fabric 2"x45") for a flower. I sewed it onto the shirt.

12) I made a rosette with the extra shirt fabric and then glued it into the center.

13) I added a little tie in the middle.

And now she has a fun and comfy dress!!

Isn't she so cute?!
