Despite the abundance of clothes in stores, the modern woman tries to replenish her wardrobe with hand-sewn items. And not because he can’t afford to buy, he just doesn’t always have what he needs. And the price can be very high.
Most often we need a simple, comfortable everyday dress. And this will be possible even for those who only know how to hold scissors in their hands. An excellent solution would be to use your own T-shirt that fits in size.
All the most difficult work has already been done: the neckline is processed, the sleeves are sewn on. You will also need a small piece of fabric.
Like any needlewoman, there are works in stock that are unfinished and forgotten. I found a T-shirt with the bottom part cut off. I will sew a dress from it.
1) First I tried on the T-shirt on myself and figured out what could be done. I decided to make an oblique cut at the bottom. I marked the waist point on one side and drew a line from it to the other side.
2) Among my supplies I found a small piece of fabric that matches the design of a T-shirt. I put it under my T-shirt.
3) I continued the side seams along the fabric slightly diagonally so that the dress would be widened towards the bottom.
4) I cut out the skirt.
5) I ripped the side seams on the T-shirt.
6) I attached one piece to the front, basting it just in case, to see how it would look. Sometimes knitted fabrics stretch.
7) When I was sure that everything was fine, I stitched. I ironed the seams and laid a finishing stitch on the front side.
8) Stitched the side seams.
9) The bottom of the dress was overcast and hemmed to 1 cm.
As you can see, you don’t need any special skills to create such a dress.
Moreover, this piece of clothing did not cost me anything - everything I needed was at home.
The most pleasant moment: I put the dress on myself and went to the store.
All the best!
