Please be in awe of my latest sewing creation, this fabulous dress made from an old vintage tea towel and the dress itself is made from 90% used (upcycled & free) fabric.
The pattern is the Joy Mini Tea Towel Dress from Afrayed Upcycling. I filmed myself making it & have a major question to ask you, so please click here to see me make it & tell me what you think.
I made a 4xl top with a 5xl skirt. The pattern was super easy to follow, I was originally going to add a ruffle to the length of it but decided to leave it at this longish tunic length. If I find that I'm not wearing it because it's too short then I'll add a patchwork ruffle to make the dress longer.
I'm definitely going to make more of these as it was such a fun sew, I LOVE scrap fabric and using free fabric is even better! If you want to see how I sourced free fabric then I've got a couple of videos up on YouTube here..... so check them out for yourself.
This is what the back of the dress looks like (below) not as cute as the front but still pretty cute! I'm now off to source some more cute vintage tea towels to make lots more!
I'd love it if you popped over to my YouTube channel & subscribed to it & even liked some of my videos. Every like, every follower, every comment is like a great big hug!
