1) I saw a beautiful dress. I sewed exactly the same thing for 4 times cheaper.
To come up with a dress style, you don’t have to flip through the pages of fashion magazines. All you have to do is go shopping and look for a good model.
I do this often, I really like looking at shop windows, everything there is always beautiful and new.
This time I really liked the knitted white dress combined with sewing. Sewing such a dress will not be difficult. Need a T-shirt and sewing.
- I have a white T-shirt, my husband doesn’t want to wear it, I bought 1 meter of fabric. You need to take the length of the dress and the length of the sleeve. There was no stitching in any store, so I took a similar fabric with translucent polka dots.
- If the T-shirt is your size, then generally it’s easy to sew a dress, you need to cut off the sleeves and cut new ones along them, cut the length of the T-shirt to the waist and sew on a straight skirt.
- If the T-shirt is big, then you need to take your favorite T-shirt that fits well on your figure, which is what I did.
“I put my T-shirt next to my T-shirt and traced the outline. I did the same with the sleeves.
- The neckline will be V-shaped. How to process it?
- I cut out a strip of knitwear, 4 cm wide, the length should be the same as the length of the neck.
- I aligned the edges of the strip and attached it to the V neckline, redrew it.
- I stitched along this line, the corner looks into the inside of the bar.
- I turned the strip inside out and it looked like a facing.
- I applied it to the corner of the neckline on the T-shirt, aligned the corners and basted first one side, then the other. I stitched in a circle and overcast the seams.
- I laid a finishing stitch on the front side.
- I basted the sleeves and tried them on, although everything fit perfectly.
- The skirt is 75 cm wide. I made a slit on the side seam.
- I sewed two parallel lines at the waist and gathered them into folds.
- When you sew a skirt to a T-shirt, you need to take into account that the jersey will drop a little, about 1-1.5 cm.
As you can see, you don’t have to be an experienced seamstress to create an outfit for the summer.
2) I remade the T-shirt differently. There is no trace left of the sports model. Now this is a stylish thing for me for spring-summer
For work, you need to take a T-shirt in your size, but the length should not be short or a size larger.
- The first thing to do is decide on the length of the blouse and cut off the excess fabric.
- Then draw an oblique line on the T-shirt from the neckline to the opposite side cut to the bottom.
- Draw another line in the same way, but until it intersects with the first line.
- Cut the first line completely, and the second until it intersects.
- Cut out the missing shelf from the cut fabric. I got it from two pieces, but they won’t be visible behind a solid shelf.
- We ended up with two symmetrical shelves that overlap one after the other.
- I laid a stitch along the edges of the shelf and neckline and pulled it together a little.
- I cut strips from the remnants of the fabric to process the edges and bottom of the product.
- I applied the strip to the front side of the blouse and stitched it. I overcast the edge of the strip and turned it on the wrong side, and laid a finishing stitch on the front side.
- At the bottom of the product I placed folds on the front and back shelves. You need to measure the depth according to yourself so that the finished blouse does not squeeze or is too loose.

- From the remnants of the fabric I sewed two strips, which I stitched to the side seams.
The blouse is tied at the sides; there is no trace left of the sports model.
3) I bought a T-shirt at the family store and made a full-fledged blouse out of it
How to do:
- I laid out the T-shirt on the table, straightened out the folds and cut it into 2 parts under the sleeves.
- On the top part I cut out the sleeves at the seams.
- I cut out 2 strips 32x12 cm, these will be the straps, folded them in half along the long side.
- Where the fabric separates, I marked 1 cm from the edges and made an oblique cut. Where the fold is, there is 32 cm left, on the other side - 30 cm.
- On the cut-off T-shirt, I marked 8 cm to the side and 9 cm down, connected these points with a smooth line, and cut off the excess.
- I ironed the fabric at the top by 1 cm and stitched it with a zigzag. The excess fabric was cut off with scissors.
- I made 2 cm marks from the overcast edge and drew a straight line.
- I cut 2 pieces of elastic, 27 cm each. Zigzag stitched to the line. In order for the elastic to be sewn evenly, you need to find the middle of the line to which the elastic will be attached, and the middle of the elastic. The first step is to combine the beginning, fasten it - make a few stitches, t
