T-Shirt Dress Tutorial: Week Three Winner Project Recycled
Congratulation to Pam of Threading My Way for winning the T-Shirt Challenge.
I'm very pleased to be back again for Round Three, this week showing how I upcycled some old t-shirts into a little girl's top. I began with this pile of old t-shirts, but ended up not using the yellow t-shirt. All three garments I used had been women's t-shirts.
There you have it, three old t-shirts turned into a little girl's top, ready to be worn with a pair of black leggings...

First up was to alter the neck line to suit a little girl.
Secondly, the t-shirt needed to be recut to a much smaller size. I used a child's t-shirt as a guide.
