Transform your darling's t-shirt into a pretty summer dress

For perfectionists, the strapless dress in a t-shirt

You are not very good at sewing but you want to create original clothes? Do you think you have to own and master a sewing machine? The world of creative leisure is full of solutions to make your life easier and allow you to give life to all your desires. With a pair of scissors, an iron and iron-on tape, you will make yourself a very simple little dress, but with the most beautiful effect in a simple t-shirt stolen from your darling!

1. First, cut the sleeves with scissors and put them aside, they will be useful to you later.

2. Cut the t-shirt in its width at the shoulders using the low point of the collar to cut in a straight line right through the garment.

3. Following the seam, separate the front from the back of the remaining part with scissors, then cut the seam of the sleeves:you should have two large squares and two long strips in front of you.

4. Bring the width of the long strip closer to the width of a square. Repeat with the other two pieces of fabric.

5. Take a ribbon of fusible fabric. Unite each strip with each square by gluing the iron-on over the entire length. Place a fabric on the assembly and gently pass the hot iron as if to iron the two fabrics together.

6. Place iron-on on the two lengths of one of the two assembled parts and rest the second part on the first. Cover with fabric and repeat ironing on both lengths.

Here you are in a few minutes with a new little strapless dress, perfect for spending a light summer.

For those in a hurry, t-shirt folding

Just like the principle of origami for paper, you can make a pretty summer dress in an XXL t-shirt for your darling by simply folding it. Less exhaustive, this method is perfect for quickly putting on an original garment that no longer looks like a t-shirt.

1. Put on your jules' t-shirt.

2. Arrange to pull the collar under your armpits.

3. With the collar above your chest, take a first sleeve and stretch it over your chest so as to cross it:the right sleeve pressed against the chest will stretch towards the left breast and vice versa.

4. Tuck the sleeve into the collar above the chest and repeat the operation on the other side. You should end up with a pleated bustier on the chest.

This is a very simple way to get dressed in 30 seconds flat. All you have to do is accessorize your outfit to make it more sophisticated:belt, clutch, kimono... Enough to impress your girlfriends at a lower cost!
