[Nfb-krafters-korner] T-Shirt Dress - WAS: pillow case dress

[Henrietta Brewer]

I have seen directions to make a dress like this by knitting the skirt to the t shirt. Yes, a tank would be really cute. I always wanted to do this for my Grand Daughters. Unless the shirt was already very short I would think it was a dropped waist.

It look as if all they did was take a long rectangular piece  of material, sewed the short edges together, gathered it up along one long  edge so that it was the circumference of the bottom of the t-shirt and attached it to that edge.  The other long edge of the rectangle  was hemmed to form the bottom of the  skirt.

I was looking through all the little girl clothes when I  foundthe a pillow case dress!  I didn’t buy one, but I did give it a  good once over to see how it was made.

At the top it was like they had cut the top of the  pillow case open and  turned it over and then on each corner made a J  shaped cut and then stitched around for the arms.  The top was boat  necked with ½ inch ribbon running through to draw it up and connect the  front neckline to the back.  So it had two bows one on each  shoulder.
