5 T-shirt Dresses

I will show you what I did with these dresses. I wanted some pajamas/lounge wear and t-shirts.

I used leggings that I already had as a pattern. These dresses are stretchy like leggings. I marked my cuts with a sliver of soap.

I cut the stretchy shorts out of the blue dress and the gray dress as well. The hem of the dress became the hem of the shorts. Use a zigzag stitch or a serger for the seams. You want the seams to have a little give to them. That will help with fit and comfort.

I folded the waist down and it made it's own waistband. No elastic needed. I stitched it with a zigzag so the seam would give with the fabric. I was able to make them into shorts in no time. I like these because I can wear them for pajamas and they are tight enough that they do not shift around and get bunched up. And I can wear them under dresses and skirts on windy days.

Let's take a look at the other 3 dresses. I also cut them all into shirts. They just made great t-shirts and I didn't want to give them up. What did I do with the bottom of those dresses? This idea is easy, there is no sewing involved. I used a shirt I liked to get the right length. T-shirt material does not fray. You do not have to finish or hem the bottom of the shirt if you don't want to. 

I rolled the extra material up and I had an instant infinity scarf. It might be hot today but cooler weather is coming.

I just cut the dresses and I was done. I have worn and machine-washed all of these new shirts and scarves. They never fray.

I used 3 of the dresses to make shirt/scarf combinations. Thanks for reading along, to see more you can check my blog.
