I’ve always wanted to make one of those cute tank dresses for my girls, but I never wanted to cut up one of their tank tops. I was at Goodwill the other day and found two orange tanks in my girls’ sizes. I thought a dollar for each was a little high, but I really wanted to make these dresses!
This project was so easy, and I wish I would have photographed the steps for a tutorial! I still have another one to make so there might a tutorial coming next week. Basically it is a bunch of rectangles, straight stitches, and a gathering stitch. The whole project took less than one hour from start to finish.
Total cost for the dress:
- Tank $1
- Fabric $2.50
- Total $3.50
In the pictures she is wearing a shirt under her dress. It was about 50 degrees on the porch so she was a little cold!
I love this little dress. Someone is going to have to restrain me from buying every tank I find at yard sales this summer!
I cant wait till this summer to make my little girl some “flour sack” dresses, they are so easy, and sooo cute.
Please share instructions on how to do the flour sack dresses!
I would love to see the tutorial! I want to try this. She looks adorable!
