Our patterns are designed for upcycling, to help you repurpose fabrics and scraps. ♻️

You will need to complete:

• The button placket.
• Overlock stitching.
• The installation of the ribbing.

Using an overlock machine is recommended. If you don't have one, you can use a zigzag stitch on a sewing machine.

Recommended fabrics:

• We recommend using jersey fabric (150 to 230 g/m²). The heavier it is, the more structure and durability it will have.

Ideas for creating an upcycled t-shirt:

• You can reuse t-shirts that you no longer wear (an XL t-shirt is enough to make a women's size M, for example).
• The dress requires a large amount of fabric. It is perfectly possible to add a second fabric or combine several different fabrics.
