How to Sew a T-Shirt Dress

If the sun is shining, and you’re looking for that perfect casual dress to flaunt, well, look no further. The How to Sew a T-Shirt Dress tutorial by It’s Always Autumn is your go-to guide for stitching up a breezy, comfortable, and utterly stylish summer dress.

The tutorial is a treasure trove for those who love the ease of t-shirts but crave the freedom of a dress. It’s a seamless blend of both worlds, offering you a dress that’s as easy to make as it is to wear. The best part? You don’t need to be a sewing wizard to get this right. If you can sew a t-shirt, you’re already halfway there! The tutorial takes you through the process of extending a t-shirt pattern to create a dress that falls gracefully to your knees.

You’ll start with a t-shirt pattern in your size and about 2 yards of 58-inch wide knit fabric. The tutorial recommends a medium-weight spandex knit, but you’re free to let your creativity soar. The guide is incredibly detailed, covering everything from cutting your fabric to sewing up the sleeves. And if you’re not a fan of cinched waists, you can even skip the tie belt and go for a shift dress look.

The tutorial also includes a section on making a tie belt, which adds a dash of elegance to your dress. It’s a simple strip of fabric that you fold, sew, and tie around your waist. Voila! Your summer dress is ready to make its debut.
