Project Restyle #27 2 Grey Tee's, into a off the shouder dress

Happy Monday Everyone.  
Two wonderful things are happening today.  
My fashion classes start,  and I am on  Number 27  of my Re-style project. 

Thank you so much for joining me.
Details about project Re-Style will be at the end of this post.
This weeks project is,~ wait for it, ~another t -shirt project. 
"What else can you do with a t-shirt?" you ask.
Well there are plenty of things you can do, and I have only just begun to scratch the surface. This time I will shock all of you by using a gray T-shirt.

I wanted to make a easy summer, off the shoulder dress.
I saw something similar to this on a fantastic style, DIY blog called,  


 How easy is this to make?
well, it is super easy.

Tutorial
Things you need.
1.Two t-shirts~ your size or just a little bigger these are large men's(I wanted mine big)
2. Scissors
3. Sewing machine
4. Needle and thread the same color.

I put my shirt on and decided  how long I wanted it, then I cut the bottom of the #2 shirt. 
 Wrong sides together, I stitched the bottom piece to the top piece



Then I turned my shirt  right side out and stitched around the seam again.
Now it is time to  cut off the collar, don't cut too much. 
Try the shirt on and mark it, if you are not sure.




  I cut another band off the bottom of the #2 shirt.  I also cut the hem part of the sleeve.
I used this to make the bow part of the shirt.




 I stitched it on the inside of the bow, along the seam of the first shirt,.  I did that on both sides.  Then I  hand stitched the middle part of the bow, to the front of the dress.




to make the sleeves more fitted and finished looking, I gathered them and stitched them together.
And that is it!
Now you have a new dress for summer, that you can dress it up or down, depending on accessories you want to use.
Wasn't that fun?
It was for me.
27 Down 25 to go!

Thank you so much for joining me.
Have a Wonderful Monday.!
