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.
I used a pattern as a size guide for cutting the strips for the skirt.
And to finish off, I used a black tie that was originally on the floral t-shirt.
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...
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.
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.
- Cut off the sleeves.
- Cut new armholes.
- Take width from the sides.
- Shorten the sleeves.
- Reattach the new sleeves.
- Finish the bottom of the sleeve with a band.
I used a pattern as a size guide for cutting the strips for the skirt.
- Join the eight strips to form the skirt.
- Hem.
- Gather the top of the skirt.
- Attach to the black t-shirt.
And to finish off, I used a black tie that was originally on the floral t-shirt.
- Make a fabric flower.
- Sew it to the black tie.
- Make tabs to hold the belt.
