DIY TSHIRT DRESS


DIY below:


I see this dress daily on pinterest. It's a simple design and all it requires is a tie dyed XL tshirt. 

I just did my yearly shibori indigo dyeing and made this dress from my husband's shirt. 
I went with a basic tie dye print my son made for me.
Starting with a much larger than you tshirt...cut the sleeves and remove the collar. 
Cut as such to create a halter. 
 Finish the arm edges or not…Fold over the collar edges and iron or pin. 
 Sew 1/4 inch edge for the front halter.
 For the back cut a slit and then sew the edges over 1/4 in. 
 Weave a string through with a safety pin. I used a strip from the left over sleeve. 
Slide the strings through the back to the opening slit and tie.


Next I'll show you how to add a casing in the middle to give shape to the garment.

  9. the fine print about loan costs Some moneylenders will tempt you with low financing costs just to discover that the real general month to month financing cost is in the hundreds! Borrowers who are feeling urgent and need to acquire their money rapidly may not set aside the opportunity to ask what rate they will get. Check Cashing chicago

  13. صُنع أثاث النعش من قبل شركة MHP Enterprises ، وهي شركة عائلية تقع خارج نيلسون بي سي. كندا. تأسست الشركة التي تملكها وتديرها عائلة في عام 1997 ولكن نشأت حقا من الأعمال العائلية السابقة التي تنحدر من قرية روسية صغيرة في جنوب قبل الميلاد. تقوم العائلة ببناء الصناديق منذ عام 1927. وتتمثل فلسفة الشركة في أن كل شخص يستحق أكثر من صندوق يتم إنتاجه بكميات كبيرة ، وتتمثل مهمته المعلنة في 'تقليل عبء الجنازات عالية الثمن مع البدائل الفريدة'.

  17. Defly.io is an awesome and interesting .io game with a unique twist that sets it apart from other titles. In this game, you fly a helicopter and shoot other players. You can also build towers and walls on the map to mark your territory. By marking a bigger territory and shooting other helis you can earn experience points (XP)!
