  Step 1

  Do you have a lot of extra Tshirts? Well this is the project for you!! Learn how to make a cute romper from 2 tshirts!!

• 

  Step 2

  First You'll need 2 shirts. One Medium and the other XL, preferably 2 different colors. :)

• 

  Step 3

  Cut the bottom of the med shirt right above the line, leaving a little space. Cut it in one place

• 

  Step 4

  Take the strap and wrap it above your chest. Pinch and mark when it fits securely over your chest.

• 

  Step 5

  Flip the strap on the wrong side and extend it into a straight line. Sew along the line and cut the excess

• 

  Step 6

  Cut the XL shirt just like you did the medium. Do not cut it yet.

• 

  Step 7

  Lay the strap flat and cut it directly in the center

• 

  Step 8

  Take one half of the strap and wrap it around the middle of your thigh. Pinch and mark just like you did with the strap before.

• 

  Step 9

  Line up the strap with the other strap and make the line directly under the other one so that they are both exactally the same. Sew along the straight line and cut the excess.

• 

  Step 10

  Take the XL shirt and cut off the sleeves. They cut the shirt directly below the collar.

• 

  Step 11

  Flip inside out and sew the armholes.

• 

  Step 12

  Line up the strap you made from the medium and the part you just sewed from the XL shirt.

• 

  Step 13

  Basically what you're going to do is fold the XL shirt so that it fits the width of the strap from the med shirt

• 

  Step 14

  Pin the corners

  Note: YOU DO THIS TO ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE SHIRT, AT A TIME.

• 

  Step 15

  Pin the center

• 

  Step 16

  Then fold the shirt towards the end of the straps.

• 

  Step 17

  sew along the line on the extra you gave yourself when you first cut it.

• 

  Step 18

  Cut the medium shirt directly under the sleeves.
  then take that piece and cut it in half.

• 

  Step 19

  Take the two halves from the XL shirt and line them up with the straps you made fromt he two halves of the XL shirt.

• 

  Step 20

  THIS IS THE HARDEST PART. You're going to make a series of tiny folds that over lap each other. i used a LOT of pins for this part.

• 

  Step 21

  it should look something like this when you're done.

• 

  Step 22

  Place the two leg holes together. Pin the two corners together about 3 inches or so long.

  *EDIT*
  I've been informed the crotch isn't all that flattering. At this step you can sew as much or as little between the gap. when you do this tutorial, you'll find you have a LOT of fabric to work with

• 

  Step 23

  place the top and the two leg holes above eachother.

  NOTE: YOU MAY WANT TO TRY THE TOP ON AT THIS POINT. THE TOP MAY OR MAY NOT BE TOO LONG. I ended up cutting off about 3 or so inches off of mine.

• 

  Step 24

  Now you're going to do the same thing. This can be pretty tricky. Make sure you connect the leg holes to the center of the top.

  Dont fold the top, just the leg holes.

• 

  Step 25

  Fold larger folds til the widths fit. Sew straight across the folds.

• 

  Step 26

  Flip it inside out and try it on. If it fits right, move on. If not, take a seam ripper to it and try to repleat.

• 

  Step 27

  Cut the collar off of the medium shirt. Cut in one place. Most shirts have one place where they meet.
  You may hhave to seam rip apart the collar and the shirt.

• 

  Step 28

  Take the collar and wrap it over your neck like a halter. Pin one side and pull the other over til it fits securely. Pin and sew a box stitch and cut the excess

• 

  Step 29

  And now you should be done! :)

  If you have any questions or if something isn't clear enough, let me know!! :) I'll take detail photos if you need them.

Thanks EVEnl. If you're making one, i'd love to see it!

Yeah the crotch part, I believe, is pretty flexible. You shouldn't have many issues finding what flatters you. You get so much extra fabric. I mean, i make everythign look smaller.When you do it, you'll see. You get lots of fabric to work with!!
I'm going to make another one today following my tutorial to see if i got everything right!

Ah! I was worried about the crotch. I know that you can pretty much add more space just by increasing the amount of space you sew when you sew the leg together.

You did an amazing job on the tutorial, those pictures you drew are awesome. However... I do think the romper is not that flattering at the crotch, perhaps you can think of a way to fix that? Perhaps revise the pattern part of your how-to.
