Maxi Dress Repurposed to Fab Shirt

Before…. 100_9588

Cute… but could use a little something special.

After… 100_9591

Pretty, pretty ruffled shirt.

 

What I did…

Cut off excess length at hem of dress. 100_9592

From piece you remove… cut 1 1/2” strips 100_9594100_9595

Set sewing machine on loosest straight stitch setting… 100_9596

Sew strips down the center… I just eyeball it… 100_9597

Gather strip by pulling top thread only…     100_9599 

Pin in place and stitch down the center of the gather…

WaLa… Now you have a fab new Shirt… 100_9591
