Children’s Ruffled T-Shirt Dress

Friday, June 18, 10:00AM - 3:00PM

This dropped waist, ruffled dress looks great in size 3T - Size 6. For older girls, it could easily be designed as a top to wear with denims or shorts.

T-Shirt

♦    Short sleeved t-shirt

♦    Knit tank top

♦    If you own an embroidery machine, consider adding the embroidery before class.

♦    If you don’t own an embroidery machine, consider purchasing a graphic t-shirt and selecting fabric to compliment the design.

Fabric Requirements

Because I don’t know what size dress you want to make, I’ve decided to eliminate the math and ask you to bring the following fabric:

♦    Select good quality, woven cotton fabric. It will shrink less and be easier to sew.

♦    If you want both ruffled layers to be made from the same fabric, bring one yard of fabric.

♦    If you want make the ruffles from two different fabrics, bring a half yard of each fabric.

Ribbon

I purchased ribbon in two different widths. I sewed the narrower width ribbon to the dress to cover the seam joining the t-shirt and the skirt. The wider ribbon, I tied into a bow and stitched to the dress.

To Do Before Class
