Remember how I have about 100 yards of knit fabric sitting in my closet? Sure you do. Well, after making the pillow case dress for Lilly I decided to make one for myself...but with knit.
I started out the same way I would make a pillow case dress-folding the fabric in half lengthwise and then cutting out the arm holes. Next, I hemmed the top, leaving a large enough space for the "ribbon". Except where I would normally use ribbon I used a doubly thick strip of the same material. I fed it through the casing and then sewed the two ends together (no bows). I cut another strip and cut the edges with pinking shears (to spice it up a little) and used that as the belt.
Total Time: 30 minutes
I Love It.
Thoughts?!
Very cute! How did you decide how wide it needed to be? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsey. I'm going to try this. I haven't sewn in years.
