So I had an old Mooks tee that was a tad too small and short to look nice on me, so I upcycled it to a tee dress for my daughter :)

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Pin(s)
  • Fabric Scissors
  • 1 Old T Shirt
  • Matching Thread
  • Sewing Machine
  • Measuring Tape

Steps (9 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    First measure around your models chest/waist and add 2cm.Divide this total measurement in half and you know how wide to make the top 2 pieces. Next measure the height of the top bit. Cut out 2x rectangles according to measurement (make sure you get the logo on it if you have one). Cut out 2 big rectangles for the skirt bit, make sure they're a bit bigger than the first bits you cut out.

  2. 2

    Sew two small rectangles together as per pic.

  3. 3

    Cut a long rectangle of contrasting colour for the top band to go all the way round the top of the small rectangles and sew on.

  4. 4

    Sew large rectangles together at sides as you did with the small ones. And hem the bottom.

  5. 5

    Gather the top edge of large rectangle tube.

  6. 6

    Pin to small rectangle tube and sew together.

  7. 7

    It should now look like this, minus the straps :)

  8. 8

    Measure how long you want your straps and use scrap material to make simple straps. Sew them on and you're done!!

    Should look something like this..
