DIY V-neck T-shirt Dress

Hi there, I hope you are well. I had a leftover knit cotton fabric in a lovely printed pink and decided to make a simple summer dress with it. I was checking my summer wardrobe last month and it lacked t-shirt dresses and some summer tops. So, I started to sew this t-shirt dress and will continue following my plans. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted t-shirt pattern and lengthened it above my knee.  And here are the pattern pieces: - Front (on fold) 1x - Back (on fold) 1x - Neckband 57 cm long x 5 cm wide. The sewing process was easy and fast. I did it in three hours.  It started with sewing the shoulder lines together and the dress sides together using my overlocker machine. And then sewed the V-neckband piece and attached it to the neckline. I sewed around the neckline with a sewing machine first and covered the raw edge using an overlocker machine.

Tunic

I made this tunic especially for my mom. I used lightweight cotton with batik. Pleated style infront to add the space in the bust area. 3/4 long sleeve, as i always remember that's my mom favourite. I was so happy that the tunic fit well on her. She likes the style and the colour. The picture above is the front side of the tunic. The picture above is the back side of the tunic. I made the two covered button with the same material. I also add simple pleat on the back side. Well, it's all about my project on this moment. I wish I could post this project earlier, but delay with the long holidays with my family in Indonesia. And now, I am having so many ideas for my next project after the holidays. There is so many fabric sitting inside my sewing room waiting for me to sewing them all.
