The larger size shirt will supply additional fabric needed for the length of the skirt, especially if you&#8217;d like to be below the knee.<\/li>\n<li>2\u201d elastic that compliments your shirt colors. The elastic will be visible.<\/li>\n<li>A rotary blade for cutting fabric.<\/li>\n<li>A straight-edged ruler.<\/li>\n<li>Measuring tape.<\/li>\n<li>Pins.<\/li>\n<li>A sewing machine (not pictured).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3223\" title=\"Step_001\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_001.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_001.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_001-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>1. Choose a v-neck in your favorite color for the top of the dress. The fit of the shoulders to waist is the most important part, as you will eventually be cutting off the bottom portion of the t-shirt. Put the t-shirt on and mark it with chalk at your natural waist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3224\" title=\"Step_002\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_002.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_002.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_002-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. Using the rotary blade and straight-edged ruler, carefully cut below the chalk mark indicating your natural waistline.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3225\" title=\"Step_003\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_003.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_003.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_003-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. Discard the lower half of the shirt, or better yet, use it to create another fabulous DIY project, such as these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lilblueboo.com\/2010\/04\/upcycled-recycled-t-shirt-bangles.html\">upcycled t-shirt bangles!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3226\" title=\"Step_004\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_004.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_004.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_004-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4. Next, prepare and cut elastic waistband. Elastic should be 1\u201d \u2013 1.5\u201d shorter than the width of your top. You may add 1\/2\u201d for the seam.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3227\" title=\"Step_005\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_005.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_005.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_005-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. Sew the ends of the elastic waistband together to form a circle. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_JC38RxMdb0\">zig-zag stitch<\/a> is recommended for stretch fabrics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3228\" title=\"Step_006\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_006.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_006.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_006-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6. Quarter the waistband into four equal parts and pin at the quarter marks. This is easily accomplished by pinning the ends first which gives you two equal havles. Then line up these two pins in the middle to find the other two quarter locations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3229\" title=\"Step_007\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_007.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_007.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_007-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>7. Divide the shirt top into four equal parts by first pinning the side seams. This will divide the shirt into two halves. Fold these two pins together in the center. Then pin the sides again. The shirt will now be pinned in quarters. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3230\" title=\"Step_008\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_008.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_008.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_008-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>8. Now, it&#8217;s time to start creating the skirt! Measure from your natural waist to the desired length.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3231\" title=\"Step_009\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_009.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_009.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_009-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>9. Now that you have your desired skirt length, it&#8217;s time to get to work on turning the second t-shirt into a skirt. Be sure to add 1\/4&#8243; to the desired skirt length to accomodate for the waist band seam!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3232\" title=\"Step_010\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_010.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_010.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_010-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>10. Cut the skirt portion of your dress from the bottom of the t-shirt and discard the top, or retain the material for other projects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3233\" title=\"Step_011\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_011.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_011.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_011-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>11. Place your elastic loop inside the skirt with right sides together, pinning the waistband to the skirt with the quarter marks matching up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3234\" title=\"Step_012\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_012.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_012.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_012-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>12. Attach skirt to waistband with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tillyandthebuttons.com\/2013\/03\/finishing-seams-zigzag-stitch.html\">zig-zag stitch<\/a> and a 1\/4\u201d seam, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UH2dX-7btYM\">backstitching<\/a> the beginning of your sew.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3235\" title=\"Step_013\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_013.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_013.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_013-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>13. As you sew the zig zag stitch for the waistband and skirt, stretch the elastic slightly so that it performs and gathers when worn. Remove the quarter mark pins as you reach them and backstitch the end of the waistband when you reach it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3236\" title=\"Step_014\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_014.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_014.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_014-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>14. Flip the elastic band up and out of the top of the skirt. The result should look similar to what you see in the image above.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3237\" title=\"Step_015\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_015.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_015.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_015-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>15. The final step is to attach the t-shirt top onto the elastic banded-skirt. Quarter the waistband again by pinning the waistband into four equal parts as you did earlier. Place your top inside the skirt and pin together again at marked quarters with the right sides together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3238\" title=\"Step_016\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_016.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_016.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_016-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>16. Sew the top and elastic band together with a zig-zag stitch in the same way you sewed the skirt and elastic together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3239\" title=\"Step_017\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_017.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_017.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_017-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>17. If the elastic band and top do not match up, simply stretch the shorter of the two, so they are flat as you sew them together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3240\" title=\"Step_018\" src=\"https:\/\/5bd4f92546.nxcli.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_018.jpg\" alt=\"T-Shirt Dress Tutorial\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_018.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Step_018-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>18.
