These were actually not inspired by me, but began the inspiration for this crafting blog so they may just be the most important. Thanks to our wonderful Relief Society, Michelle and I got assigned to teach a sewing class for Super Saturday on making dresses out of T-shirts. Sounds easy enough for a person who knows how to sew, right? Well, it is. Problem: I don't REALLY know how to sew. I can sew in a straight line. I can probably figure out how to zig-zag if needed. And, I can follow a step by step tutorial IF it includes pictures. This project met, pretty much, non of those criteria. So- we tried giving excuses. 1. Our husbands work Saturdays. Solution: they found us babysitters. 2. Our machines are not working properly (if at all). Solution: the Relief Society had a machine they were happy to let us borrow. 3. We have absolutely NO IDEA how to do something like this. Solution: they found us written instructions. So...we jumped in, did a few experiments and ended up with these results. If you want to repeat our efforts, click on the links to see how.
This first dress is made from an adult fitted T-shirt, and who doesn't have a few of those hanging in the closet that no longer fit properly? Well, now they can serve a better purpose than cluttering up your closet, constantly reminding you that not all of your clothes are, in fact, wearable. If you ask me, it looks far cuter on her than it ever did on me!
Cute as those are, we ended up doing these for Super Saturday. Turns out, the possibilities for embellishing, etc. are limitless. Cute, cute!
Alright, so I typed this tutorial myself- pictures and all (surprise!)- rather than using someone else's, but I can't figure out how to get a link posted on here. If you are interested, leave a comment and I'll email you the step by step instructions.
