• Step 1

  Originally, i made a pattern, but then my brain began to think and i remembered a neckholder top i own. So,in the bin with that pattern and grab your neckholder top.

• 

  Step 2

  lay the jersey on fold and place your top (folded in half lengthwise) on that fabric.
  I pinned some needles to it and cut around with approx. 0.5cm seam allowance, you can make the top as long as you want.
  For the back just mark where the top ends and draw two horizontal lines as top and bottom.

• Step 3

  i cut the parts two times on fold, because i like it double layered and without visible seam allowances.

• Step 4

  sew the side seams of the two tops.

• 

  Step 5

  pin them together right sides facing, sew the upper edge and turn over.

• 

  Step 6

  measure the lower edge of the top and mark that measurement at the top of your shirt.
  now, i just drew two lines from the top to the bottom as wide as i wanted the dress and cut.

• Step 7

  if you have a shirt that fits in the length you can skip this part!

  my shirt was too long, so i cut a bit at the bottom and had to sew a new tunne for the elastic.
  I just fold in 2cm and topstitched with a twin needle from the right side. Ta-da, new tunnel.

• 

  Step 8

  measure how long you want the elastic to be and cut into two equal parts. insert the elastic in the tunnels. i used a safety pin for help.
  secure the ends with some stitches (by hand or machine)

• Step 9

  now sew the side seams of the dress part.

• Step 10

  attach the top to the bottom (right sides facing) and you´re done!!
