How to Make a Dress Out of a T-Shirt

Cut T-Shirt and Sleeves

T-Shirt Dress

Rain Blanken

If there is print on the back of the shirt that you would like to save for patches, then cut the collar only on the front layer of the shirt. If you're not trying to save any print on the back, then go ahead and cut through both the front and back.

Cut the sleeve along the underarm seam like the image on the right.

Now you are ready to make the straps.
