Did I mention the things you can make from old t-shirts are endless! There are whole books and websites dedicated to the topic.
I wanted to create some dresses that were stylish, comfortable and easy to make.
The “skirt” part I cut from slightly thicker jersey that I had. On some of the t-shirt dresses I adjusted the sleeve hole a little to make it less gapy by putting in darts.( I kind of like the slouchy armholes though.) Wear it with a contrasting sports bra. Plus in the summer its nice and airy.

Jersey T-shirt Dress.
There is something really satisfying about a pile of jersey tops aIl in the same tones waiting to be cut up and re-assembled. Thats probably why I enjoyed making this dress so much.
I started by putting the one I wanted as a top on the dressmaking dummy. The other pieces was then cut up and one by one pinned onto the hem to make up the skirt part.
Pretty pleased with the outcome. I want to make one in washed out grey next. If you want one in your desired colours, let me know!
