Tutorial: Little girl chevron dress from Re-fashioned daddy’s striped t-shirt

Terri from Blue House Joys turned some of her husband’s old t-shirts into cute new dresses for her little girls. Because of how she placed the pattern pieces for the A-line dress, the stripes on the shirts became chevrons on the dresses. She shares a tutorial showing how she did it, including how to create a pattern, how to cut it so you get the chevrons, and how to assemble the dress. Go to her blog for the tutorial.
