DIY Sleeveless Shirt Dress
Hi there, I finished my sleeveless shirt dress, and I'm happy with the final result. The dress is comfy and perfect for summer. I will definitely wear it a lot. This summer, I'm focusing on building my capsule wardrobe, and I'm glad I managed to create three garments (a skirt, top, and sleeveless dress). I will continue sewing more garments to complete my plan. My progress will be slow, but I'm sure I will complete it before the end of the summer 😊 For the pattern, I used Faitmain shirt dress May 2019 size 38 and I used this pattern before to make two long-sleeved shirts. And this time, I omitted the sleeves and reduced the shoulder length by 2 cm. I used cotton fabric in blue and white gingham and I planned to add a pocket, but in the end, I gave up because it didn't look good. The sewing progress was slow as I have a lot of things to do. The only difficult part was sewing the collar. And in case you are interested in seeing ...
I made something similar to this when I first started sewing. I filled my with dried beans! They are a variety of shapes and fabrics. This is so perfect for the beginning seamstress.
ReplyDeleteHow could I forget the dried beans? I had some packs inside my kitchen drawer.
DeleteThanks Annie for letting me know. I am going to fill my last one with dried beans :)
These are great. I will definitely make these! Thanks for showing me :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, AriB. I am sure you will love it :)
DeleteThese are so cute :) I use curtain weights, not nearly as pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah Liz. I am using tuna cans since 2009, so it's time to change to these cute things :) :)
DeleteCute! I've been meaning to make some of these, myself. It's a good way to use up some scraps, as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathy. Yes, it is a perfect way to use up some scraps :)
DeleteSo cute Hana!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margo :)
DeleteI've been using tuna cans too and after seeing your pretty pattern weights think I need to make these too! Thank you for sharing with us such a great idea!
