Materials needed :
A t shirt
Cloth in pattern of your choice
Thread
Pins
Step 1:
Cut 2 strips of cloth with the width at least double the width of the t shirt. Remember to serge the edges of the cloth to prevent it from fraying.
Step 2:
Put the 2 strips of cloth together with the right side facing each other. Sew the edge of the cloth.
Step 3:
Turn the cloth inside out so that the right side is now facing out. Align the seam of the cloth with the seam of the t-shirt. Hold it in place with a pin. Repeat at the other side.
Step 4:
Make pleats with the cloth. Hold them in place with pins. Adjust the width of each of the pleats so that they are well balanced. After you are happy with the pleats made, you are now ready to sew them.
Step 5 :
Sew along the original stitching of the t-shirt. There is no need to remove the pins as you sew.
Step 6:
With the wrong side of the cloth facing out, fold about 2cm of the cloth and sew them. This will be the hem of the dress. The dress is now done.
