Converting T-shirts into dresses!

Here's Emma wearing a T-shirt Transition. Any T-shirt, with a cotton skirt attached. P162, T-shirts Transition shows how to get cotton to accommodate a stretchy store-bought t-shirt. 

Rectangle Dresses!

I have a couple of patterns that are rectangle dresses -- P155 Seams Sew Cute was the first, then P169 - P172, Poppy's, Pepper's, Lily's, and Grace's Easy Dresses. And finally, P185 Rectangle Dress for Girls. Now granted, sizing is not my best attribute when it comes to designing, so I do not do dresses so much anymore. But I did make some dresses for my granddaughters for this coming Christmas. I made  the designs up as I went, not using any of my patterns -- they're pretty cute.
 

This is the finished dress but notice the construction process below.

I call it 'flat construction" -- just sewing rectangles together.

This is what it would look like from the back side.

A pink version - just fold the flat arrangement in half, with RST, and sew the side seams!

Bearied Treasure!

I remember the days when so many pattern companies did soft sculpture patterns. When those days ended around the year 2000, many pattern companies disappeared forever. Many of us were great friends and I miss seeing them every year at International Quilt Market! This little fellow was one of my favorites soft sculpture patterns   ......

Bearied Treasure -- discontinued many years ago!

The dress the bear is wearing inspired many of the rectangle dress patterns that are currently in my inventory today. Ideas often get recycled - even if it is years later!
