Now pin up the sides and underarms.
Once this is done start sewing from the sleeve underarms down.
Now turn the shirt and skirt inside out and pin them together along the waist to create a dress pattern.
I ran out of time for this but I would have liked to add more to the dress. Instead, I just added two blue stripes on the shoulders of the shirt and sewed them in with an X. Then I tucked the top of the collar in and sewed it to give it a cuffed collar instead!
I would really like to add a belt to the dress, darts to make it more fitted, and some more embellishments to make it prettier. I also cinched the waist of the dress a little bit more to give it more shape than the square frock it started as.
I hope this just inspires you to get creative with old clothes rather than just throwing them away! You can turn old clothes into anything! Have fun!
