Sewing Tutorial: Little girl’s playdress refashioned from an adult t-shirt

April 25, 2012 by Anne Weaver

LiEr from ikat bag shares a tutorial on Project Run and Play showing how she refashioned an adult’s long-sleeved t-shirt into this cute little playdress for her daughter.  The shirt had been practical maternity wear, but hadn’t been worn much since due its plain, rather masculine, cut and style.  When she refashioned it, she gave it girly details with a bit of a puff the sleeve, a Peter Pan collar, and handstitched accents.  Get the tute.
