Today you can find me over at the Riley Blake Designs blog sharing a tutorial for this simple t-shirt dress. The dress is made by using an existing t-shirt as a pattern, hop on over there to find out how.
In my t-shirt dress tutorial, I ask you guys to draft your own sewing pattern from an existing t-shirt. I know that not everyone is comfortable with drafting their own sewing pattern so I thought that I’d give you some suggestions if you’d like to just buy a pattern to make a similar dress.

Yes you can use knit fabric as a substitute for woven fabric. You may need to adjust the ease if you want a more fitted look since woven patterns allow more ease. Perfect for your favorite pattern if you like knits but have no pattern specifically for knits. It also works for using wovens for a pattern requiring knits. You must add ease. Great for learning using doll clothes patterns. I have a pants pattern I used for a knit that was for a woven. Of course it wasn’t as stretchy as most knits. Try it you may need darts or take in the side seams to make it fit properly. Perfect for that knit picked up at the thrift store or in mom’s stash.
That was my guess as I’ve done it before. I own this pattern and might give it a shot to see how it turns out. Thanks so much for your feedback!
