sewing tutorial : Make a child’s tee from an adult t-shirt

May 5, 2018 by Anne Weaver

Tutorial: Make a child's tee from an adult t-shirtOne of my favorite things to sew for a child is a t-shirt made from an adult sized shirt. The graphics are always so oversize on a small body!  Gina Michele has a tutorial showing how to do it.  All you need is a t-shirt that fits your child (to use as a pattern) and an adult sized shirt to cut down to size.
