I had been itching to get my sewing machine out lately but had no projects in mind. So I started going through my stash. When I came upon this cute owl fabric I instantly thought 'Dress'!
S wears dresses EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
And it happens to be a rotation of the same 4-5 dresses.
So I thought giving her another option wouldn't be a bad idea.
I started out with a white long sleeve shirt and the fabric (measuring 18x21 inches).

I started out with a white long sleeve shirt and the fabric (measuring 18x21 inches).
I folded the fabric in half and stitched up the side to make a hoop of fabric.
Then I hemmed along the bottom.
Along the top I hand sewed a gathering stitch leaving excess thread at both ends.
I then pulled on the thread to gather in the fabric and pinned it to the shirt.
(Right sides together, with the skirt going up towards the top of the shirt)
I sewed the skirt onto the shirt, cut off the excess shirt and serged it.
Flip it right side out and you should have a dress.
I went a step further and sewed on sash so that the waist could be tightened.
I think she likes it, she wore it two days in a row!
Happy Tuesday!
