TodaysMama.com - T-Shirt Dress {Easy Sewing Tutorial}

I don’t usually wear cheap t-shirts around, but fashioned as a skirt or t-shirt dress I might! (See Also: T-Shirt to Skirt) Materials: T-shirt 2-3 Sizes Larger than you wear T-shirt that fits perfectly (Just for the pattern!) Matching Thread Directions: Fold both t-shirts in half. Turn the t-shirt inside out, and pin the sides together. The last thing is to finish the sleeves. That’s it! I did go back to the black one and made it into tank top instead, because it is going to start getting hot in Arizona!

This time I made a pair for my kids, they love it. You may not be able to do it in time for this valentine but as I said, if you have love in you, everyday is valentine. Hope you sew some for your loved ones no matter if it is Feb 14. Besides as a pillow, you can use this pattern to make into other things, for example, pin cushion, smaller softy as gift, or a piggy back pack for little children. Just change the size by reducing or enlarging and modify it to fit into your design.

Material you need:1. Print out the PDF pattern of the piggy pillow. Use a pencil and trace the pattern onto the cotton fabric. Sandwich the towels in between 2 fabrics. Sew it up on the sewing line, it can be from sewing machine or hand stitching. Turn body, ear and tail inside out. Tie a knot at the tip of the tail as shown, mark a length of 4″ from the tip. Sew the ears on. Guest tutorial: sweet august anthropologie knock off dress.

Even better, she put together a tutorial for the aforementioned gorgeous dress to share with y’all today! YAY!
