So very sweet and feminine! I like this very much. Actually the more I look at it the more I feel I want to make it a bit longer for myself and turn it into a mini dress. Oh well I will just have to wait and see how much fabric is available from whatever I make it out of.

This is a good way to refashion your husbands old shirts and put it to use instead of throwing it out. And if you do not have any you can check yard sales or thrift stores. If you do not like those tight fitting clothes which everything seems to be than this is the top tutorial that you need and if you want to step it up then buy 2 shirts and make the sleeves and bottom different colors. There is so much that you can do when making your own clothes even when using pre-existing pieces. It is so much fun. If you have always wanted to design your own pieces then you must read this tutorial.
