Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This dress is made from a bunch of t-shirt remnants I had left-over from my recent recycling-mania. I used the same pattern as on my previously posted maxi-dress. Only few alterations were made – I left the skirt part open, just overlapping it. With the built in underskirt I love it when the wind catches it without leaving me naked underneath ;-) There is a full tutorial/how-to at my blog: Of Dreams and Seams
Really, the whole dress is just a bunch of rectangles put together! A fun, fast and easy project!

So lovely and bright! I have a ton of jersey tops full of holes (I’m a bit of a hoarder…) and now I know what to do with them! Thank you! :)

It’s hard to find a recycled t-shirt project with this level of classiness! Wonderful!
