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. ...

Sewing A Travel Wardrobe : Square Neck Dress

By -
Hi there, I went on a holiday to Singapore with my husband and son and had a fantastic time. We loved Singapore, it is such a great place to visit. The food was delicious, and also managed to visit fabric stores.
I made two new dresses (of course) using stashed fabrics and notions. Today, I'll show you the square-neck dress and another dress in a separate post.

I made three versions of the square-neck dress before, but this time I made it with puff sleeves. The pattern was self-drafted and the fabric was African printed cotton that was inside my stash for a while.

The sewing process was fast, I fused the zipper line and facings with fusible interfacing before starting to sew. It made the job easier.
I sew the zipper and the shoulder lines. Sewed the facings together and attached them to the neckline.
Gathered the sleeves, pinned and sewed them to the armholes.
Sewed the sides, sleeves hems and hemline.
The last part was top-stitching the finished facing.
The process was easy and the same as the usual manner, nothing difficult about this dress and the cotton fabric was a dream to work with.


And here are more pictures of the finished dress, I love the puff sleeves and the square neck, they are so cute and on-trend right now.





I wore the dress on our visit to Sentosa and the cotton fabric was great for hot weather. I remembered visiting Sentosa in 2009 and it was great to be back again. We had so much fun, especially at the Universal Studios 💗 

Thank you for reading, have a lovely day and happy sewing.
