No Sew, CrissCross Back, T-Shirt or Dress DIY
Easy and quick to make.
Ideal and ventilated when it is hot in summer or for playing sports.
Supplies
- 1 T-shirt size L to make a dress for a 1.25 m girl or an adult t-shirt
- 1 pair of scissors
Fold the t-shirt in half to find the mid-back line, then cut the t-shirt (only the back part!) to the top if you don't want a collar or to the bottom of the collar if you want to keep it.
Cut the sleeves and their seams on both sides.
Cut along the collarbones, from the neck to the shoulder on both sides. If you want to keep the collar, don't cut it.
If you don't want to keep a collar, cut it completely by cutting under the seam, you can keep a rounded shape or cut a V shape on the front. If you want to keep a collar, cut under the seam of the collar all around except for about 6 cm to let tie on the front of the t-shirt.
Attach the left rear with the right front and the right rear with the left front. You can tie them together completely, or tie only the corners of the "straps" or cut a strip from a sleeve drop to make a strap to tie the front part and the back part of a shoulder strap together. I made a version of each tie on each side.
Optional Step 1:
If you choose to keep the collar you and if it is too long, you can either cut it in the back to tie it, or turn / twist it to make a loop and fix it with a bar or a pin or a brooch.
Optional Step 2:
Cut out patterns in iron-on paper and apply them to the T-shirt to make it shine!
