Chevron Strapless Dress, DIY

Do you ever just need that quick dress that will go anywhere

 from day to a night out. 

Well I did  and I needed it in a hurry, so I made one out of two T-shirts. 

Then I dressed it up with a little Tulip Fabric Paint.

Things you need

1. Two large men's t-shirts (or a size that fits you)
2. Scissors
3. Sewing machine
4. Tulip Silver Fabric Paint
5. Sponge or brush
6. Tape
7. Safety Pin

 First I used the tape to tape under the arms of my grey shirt

*This helps me cut a straight line.

 Cut your shirt.

 Do the same to the black shirt.

  Cut two-  2 inch strips from the bottom of your Black t-shirt to make your ties 

 Put to the side for now.
.

            Pin your two shirts right sides together.

             *Be sure you are sewing the cut ends of your shirts together. 

                You want  the hemmed ends on the top and the bottom of the dress.

        Sew your first stitch about 1 inch from your bottom edge.

                  Open your dress and stitch another row 

                    making a one inch channel all the way around.

     Now take the two strips you cut 

and stretch them to make a tube like string. 

   It's magic!

     Tie the string to a safety pin or a bobby pin: Whatever you have.

 Cut a small hole between the one inch channel you sewed.

 Thread your string through.

 Do the same to the top edge of the grey shirt.

Cut a small hole and thread your string through.

*The best part about this 

is that the top part of the grey shirt already has a hem.

No more sewing needed.

 Now here comes the fun part.

Tape off the bottom part of your dress in a chevron pattern.

 Paint your stripes.

 Pull off your tape and let dry for 6 hours.

 Just a little detail.

 Now you can wear your fun new dress.

 This is a really easy and quick project when you need a dress ASAP.
