I want to share my latest project with you all. I found a great tutorial
here about how to make a dress from a shirt. I decided to use two shirts that I found at the Good Will for $0.50 each.
I used this shirt as the top. I folded it in half and cut off the sleeves and the collar. I folded in what was left of the sleeves and added a hem.
I used this shirt for the bottom of the dress. It was an XL shirt to begin with. I cut it off under the sleeves. I measured how big it needed to be and hemmed up both sides, cutting off the excess.
To finish the dress off I sewed the two pieces together and added a piece of elastic. I also made some scruchie flowers to the top of the dress.
This is end result. It is not perfect, but I don't think it is too bad for my first dress.
