Recycled Men's Shirt Dresses




This is a fun and easy dress to make using an old mens shirt. I'm very much a beginner and am intimidated by patterns with buttons and button holes and zippers. With a mens shirt the buttons and everything are already there! I took off the breast pocket and re-sewed it onto the "front" of the dress, since DD likes pockets on her clothes. This is the tutorial I used. All you need is some elastic for the sleeves (I don't think I even used the "correct" width). A sewing machine is a plus. If you're a beginner who is impatient for an end-product, this is a nice satisfying craft.
