T-shirt dress tutorial

I have seen many versions of this on blogs and pinterest. I have made a few now and this is my process. Using Over and my iphone my 5 year old and I made a quick t-shirt dress and a tutorial.  This is written to someone who has finished seams and knows how to do a gathering stitch. If you don't you can follow the links I provide on how to do that. 

Target-t-shirt- $5 +
1/2 yard leopard floral crinkly silk- 3.50 +
the bonding time and the fact that she chose the fabric and colors
=$8.50 and way more likely to wear it because she was involved.



Wash your fabric and t-shirt to preshrink.
D was in love with this leopard floral fabric. I wouldn't have picked it, but I am learning that if I let my kids pick the fabric, they are WAY more likely to wear the finished product. 
(The shoes have nothing to do with the process, but I know Jessie has them too. Hi, Jessie!)


Ha, I have this pic upside down but already had put the text on. You get the idea. 
Here is a link on how to finish seams.



 Press each seam and hem as you go and then the whole dress.
