I was making a 5t or girls small dress.
My two pieces (front and back) measured out to be about 13 inches, after cutting.

a zig zag stitch is the best, when working with stretch fabrics.

This ruffled flower came from an old purse.
You could do the ruffle flower like above or
you could make it like I did here in my Mirabelle Purse .

From your material that you cut off.
Cut two strips to be your straps.
They are about 4 inches long.

Lay them on top of another and trim to make even.

Sew on your straps and your finished.
Now you have a cute Maxi dress for the little Miss in your life.

  1. Very cute! I end up redesigning my old shirts, dresses, and skirts for my daughter all the time. It helps that I refuse to throw any clothes away. Or if they do get thrown away I have removed the pockets, buttons, and any embellishments!
