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. And top-stitched the neckline 0.25 cm using a sewing machine. ...
Making your own shoulder pads is a brilliant idea. Like you I don't like the stiff bulky pads you buy. Thank you for the link. I have tried making my own shoulder pads but didn't think of putting darts in them. Yours look great and will be most useful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment, Kathy. Sure, I will use them someday :)
DeleteHana, what pretty shoulder pads.. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.I too. dislike the RTW shoulder pads, too big..
ReplyDeleteJudy, I am not the only one who's dislike RTW shoulder pads.
DeleteThank you for sweet comment :)
Not only are RTW shoulder pads big, they are often bouncy as they are made from foam rubber. This is a good idea - nice little pads that give just a bit of lift and shape.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new series:)
That's why I prefer to make it myself. The RTW shoulder pads made me look like I have double shoulder!
