I made this dress in a half hour using an old shirt and a yard of fabric.
- Cut old shirt to desired length + 5/8"
- Measure child's waist then add 10-15" depending on how full you would like the skirt. This number is how long you will need to cut the fabric.
- The length of the skirt will be 45" or 60" depending on the width of the fabric you have chosen.
- Sew three rows of basting along the selvage (I did 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8 inch)
- Gather the fabric until it lays flat when you lay the fabric along the bottom of the cut shirt leaving enough overlap for the 5/8" seam (1-1/4 bigger than the bottom of the shirt).
- Sew the the skirt together to make a seam down the back of the skirt.
- Pin the right side of the skirt together with the right side of the gathered top of the skirt.
- Make sure the finish all seams.
- Hem skirt
