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.

Self-drafted Tank Tops

Image
Hello sewing friends.. As promised in the previous post, here are the finished tank tops. I made the first one in denim colour (right side) to wear under my lace crop top , then I decided to make two more from the leftover fabrics to wear at home :) For the fabrics, I used denim jersey knit, yellow and grey striped jersey and strong blue cotton knit. I think I like more jersey knit fabric than the cotton knit, because it draped so nicely :) The pattern is self-drafted based/copied from my old rtw tank top and I will show you the process in the below post.
