This was my first project sewing knit fabrics together and I pleased to discover how easy it is. I used an old Loft shirt (from the last year they made substantial knit tees!), the bottom half of an Old Navy sundress (the kind with a smocked waist), and the knit belt from another ON dress.
I used a stretch stitch to sew the shirt and skirt together, and then tacked the belt in place with some hidden hand stitching.
This dress is so comfortable! And I love reusing pieces that were going unused in my wardrobe. The shirt had grown a tad too short for my long torso, and the "skirt" never wanted to stay up without a belt. I fixed two problem pieces with one dress. Hurrah!
Come visit me at Wunderbar for more refashioning projects.
Very cute! Glad you are getting more wear out of the pieces, they sure look good on you! Thanks for sharing...
