Easy T-shirt Dress Tutorial // Using supplies from JOANN, and one of the t-shirts hanging out in your closet, you can make a comfortable and versatile dress in one afternoon. No need to buy a commercial pattern.
This DIY Dress Tutorial was designed with the beginning sewist in mind. Grown-on sleeves mean that you don't have to cut and sew separate sleeve pieces.
Knit fabric gives stretch, allowing you to simply pull dress over your head. No need for notions like buttons and zippers.
I recommend using a ball point needle. Universal needles simply don't perform as well on knit fabrics. Ball point needles are game changers.
More information can be found on my blog post.

Using Christmas wrap as a pattern paper is the most ingenious thing I have ever seen!

@karenmusic2166 4 года назад

I have noticed that the Dollar Tree wrapping paper had the grid on the reverse side.

@jrosebush22 4 года назад

I agree. I have been looking for grid paper to make my patterns and wrapping paper NEVER crossed my mind.

@loisbowers5254 4 года назад

Elegia I have used tracing paper in my printer before with no problem. It’s see through and thin so it’s easy pin and cut out.

I line my underwear drawer with left over wrapping paper😅

No.... using newspaper is.

@katiek.982 4 года назад

!! It NEVER would've occurred to me to use wrapping paper for a pattern! This is life-changing!

@ahmedmahmoud-th7ui 3 года назад

I used newspappers before and it worked

@TheSilverlady1980 3 года назад

I have been using wallpaper, gift wrap, brown bags, butcher paper over the years.

@lorilynharper9371 2 года назад

Extra plus! Use wrapping paper with grid marks on the back, which allows you to measure inches. Then you can adjust waist measurement, length, etc., to be sure it's accurate. (Each grid box is 1 inch wide!) :)

@jennylas Год назад

I don’t sew (yet), but make a lot of patterns for customs and wrapping paper with grids is awesome! Super cheap, too. I used to use poster board, but this is so much better.

@kathyoverton998 Месяц назад

I inherited a lot of 3x t-shirts when my brother passed away. And they've got cool graphics on them. So I'm thinking of piecing them together to make a maxi t-shirt dress. Maybe tiered .

@celestethompson4891 14 дней назад

That sounds awesome and will be very special

We are in self isolation during this time and I think that this dress is easy enough to teach my daughter to make. Thank you 🙏 Stay safe.

@MPam1619 2 года назад

One of my favorite online retailers sells a long version of this dress for around $30 to 40 dollars. You've just saved me a bundle of money! Thank you. Great instructional video!

@ilgloria2759 2 года назад

When I was a kid, my mom used newspaper to make patterns from clothes we had. These days, I have some of her old, unneeded gift wrap, so your way is a great update to an older idea that brings my mom back to me. Thanks!

@RachealUnderGrace 4 года назад

This is such a great project! I love the length of this dress. Just below the knee. Beautiful! I would love to try this! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this cut and technique. The style is classic, may be done in plain or any printed fabric. ❤

@Owlet.. 4 года назад

Wow, it's beautiful. I loved how there's no need to sew sleeves. I find that to be really though to do as a beginner.

@vrindas2277 4 года назад

Beautiful! I've been wanting to find a dress in which the sleeves don't have to be attached separately. I've never sown any clothes for myself before but I really want to try. This is so helpful, thanks!

@cherr8585 4 года назад

I love how you did your video. I dislike watching videos that show every stitch. I fast forward through those. Like the use of wrapping paper for a pattern, large washers for weights, and just your video in general. Good job!

@FraserFamily 4 года назад

Beautiful dress! I’m kind of a new sewer and this is super simple! Thank you for this tutorial. 😊

Love the dress, so easy and quick, will be making one soon, Christmas paper is a great idea, will be using that too. Thank you and I look forward to your other tutorials.

@thebirdwhisperer5712 4 года назад

Sweetheart thank you so much! Great job! I can’t wait to use one of my Lavender tablecloths from our wedding and work on making this dress today :) Lol your 7 year old did good at videoing!

@SheerStitchery 4 года назад

🌸 Oh that is such a sweet idea to use a tablecloth from your wedding to make a casual dress - it is like there is a piece of that special day with you each time you wear it 🌸

@chardsmaryl1 4 года назад

Emily Anderson Just remember that she used a stretch knit fabric that she pulled over her head. If your lavender tablecloths don't stretch, you'll have to add a key-hole neckline (or something similar) with a button and loop closure so you can get it over your head.

@mrs.garcia6978 4 года назад

Very pretty. My oldest and I are learning to sew together for hs thx for the video.

@barbaraness4507 4 года назад

Hi! I’m new to your channel and I really like the simplicity of this dress. I think it’s a good one for my granddaughter to make. She already has basic sewing skills and some knowledge of pattern making. She has also had her own machine she got several years ago. I’m trying to encourage her to use it more so this would be a great project. Thanks for sharing!

@huldahh 2 года назад

I love this!

@KatzyBaby 4 года назад

This is brilliant. Your methods taught me something even after sewing for 40 years. Using the gaskets as pattern weights is fabulous and using wrapping paper for the pattern pieces is another smart move. Thanks so much for this.

@latriciabrown4815 2 года назад

Yeeeesss! Girl you rock!! I gotta try this. And I was worried about buying some crafting paper or finding pattern paper..never thought of Christmas wrapping paper. VERY, VERY ,VERY CLEVER!!! Thanks for sharing.

@sammirooney735 4 года назад

So I have an art final due soon, and im sewing a dress. But Ms. Rona is a lovely lady and now I cant borrow my friend's machine, so I have to hand sew. YAY!

@thecurator2626 4 года назад

Beautiful fabric. The dress looks so much longer in the screens of you wearing it. This method is how I sewed my first practice top. It looks nice on you. Thanks for sharing.

@KaraMetta 4 года назад

True! That's because of lens distortion from how I tangled my camera. Here's the dress from the video, next to the pattern, and t-shirt. karametta.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_3905.jpg

@kathyoverton998 Год назад

Glad to have a practical use for wrapping paper. I bought to much in the After Christmas sales. Then my boyfriend came with a whole lot of wrapping paper when he was cleaning out a house after someone moved out. Then my brother passed away and I discovered he had quite a hoard of wrapping paper as well.
