This is one of the easiest toddler dresses to make! Minimal cutting, two seams, and a little bit of threading and you have a roomy and comfortable dress for your little one! Could also be used to make tank tops for adults as well.
You'll need a rotary cutter, ruler, cutting mat, thread, pins, and a tshirt.
If your tshirt has sleeves, start by cutting them off, leaving the arm seam intact. Then, right at the ribbed neckline, cut all the way across the top of the tee.
Fold down the top edge of the front towards the inside and pin. I did about a 1/2 inch fold. Repeat for the back.
Sew along the fold lines both front and back creating two long pockets.
For the straps, cut off the ribbed neckline into one long strip.
Using a safety pin attached to one end thread the strip through the pockets at front and back. Do a fit on your little one to check the fit of the neckline and then cut off the excess and sew the two ends together.
And you're all set! Super easy and cute! These have been really useful and stylish for us this summer and because they're so roomy they can be used again next year! Plus, if the straps ever get too tight they can always be replaced with longer strips! And they will eventually be great tank tops for your girl! ;)
