Bandana Dress....

Todays outfit is a dress made out of a bandana.  It should be called the 15 minute dress... so quick and easy.

I've had heaps of comments from friends saying that they're not a good enough sewer to make/upcycle kids clothes... if you can sew a straight line, you can make clothes.
So this is an illustration for Kelly and Sarah {Hi guys}.

Step 1 - iron bandana's {which I didn't do before taking the photo}

Step 2 - place the two right sides facing each other.  Pin together at the sides and sew.

Step 3 - Fold down the top {make sure the 100% cotton writing is at the top}, iron and sew.

Step 4 - Thread elastic.

Step 5 -  Attach x2 one metre ribbon at the front and sew a loop at the back.

Step 6 - Thread ribbon.

Make a bow.

So, that's how you turn a square bandana into a dress in less than 15 minutes.

The kids are now on school holidays... Woo hoo!
But, I still have to work :(
