Upcycled Tie Dye T-shirt Dress


Oh no! I have no arms!
Made this easy dress out of 3 old tie dye t-shirts and an old gray t-shirt. I thought I'd share.
As I said, I used an old stretchy gray t-shirt for the top, cut the sleeves off.

Take three old larger sized t-shirts. I took three tie dye t-shirts (that used to be my brothers), and cut rectangles out of the front of each, like so:



Then, pin and sew ruffles every inch at one end of the rectangle, looks like this :

Sew the skirt by sewing all of the sides to one another with a straight stitch (right side together).
(should look like this before sewing the last two sections together)


Sew the skirt onto the tank top and trim the excess fabric from the bottom part of the tank top. Hem bottom of skirt (or leave edges raw...whateva) and voile! A casual summer dress. 
The finished product.
Close up on the gawgeous ruffles.
