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.

I made a new dress last week, another simple design and comfortable to wear. I decided to make it the day before our trip to HK and glad that I managed to finish it in one afternoon. Bravo for me 😁  The dress has short sleeves and a square neckline which I like so much, the darts on the front, the invisible zipper at the center back, and the dress length just above my knee. A perfect dress for summer. I used my self-drafted pattern and linen blend fabric in printed boats I bought in the local shop last year. The two yards of fabric weren't enough to make the full dress, so I tried my best to use it all, and in the end, the backside of the dress was made from two pieces that I sewed together.

I managed to organize myself after a few months of lacking creativity, thanks to Me-Made-May which made me realize that I should make a proper plan and get back to making stuff and updating the blog more often.  At the beginning of this month, I finished the mixed prints sleeveless top for #magammayhem #magamsewalong challenge on Instagram and I was happy with the result, here is  the link  in case you want to see the full detail. The next day, I started to work with the tiered midi dress using the floral drapey rayon blend fabric that I bought recently in the local fabric shop. I found my inspiration from Pinterest, made a flat sketch, and drafted the pattern myself. This tiered midi dress is my entry to June's challenge on Instagram #magamjovialjune hosted by  @suestoney   @sewing_in_spain  and  @sarahcsewing  . To match the theme, I'm making a dress from colorful fabric (floral) that also brings joy. Thank you for hosting the lovely cha...
