DIY V-neck T-shirt Dress

Image
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.

Hello, I didn't make any updates to this blog since January. Busy life and also, I got sick and stayed in the hospital for a few days.

I posted all my makes on  my Instagram  in case you are interested to see them.

I used scrap fabrics left-over from my previous makes. I cut them in a rectangle shape and sewed them together. I sewed both sides and bottom, after that, I folded the upper back 3 cm and pinned the handle on both sides. I used the band for the handle. Sewed around the upper back two times, as shown in the pictures below. ...
