| Bandanna dress I made for my nieces 1st Birthday! |
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him. Psalm 127:3
Follow instructions to make your own
bandanna dress for little money and little time!
This dress was made in the car on the way to dance. Sewn by hand it only took a couple of hours.
Just imagine how quickly it could be "whipped up" if sewn by machine!!
 |
| Place one bandanna on top of the other with right sides together. |
 |
| Fold bandannas in half and cut a horseshoe shape into one corner. (This makes the arm hole) Then unfold. Next sew left sides together up to armhole and then the right sides up to the arm hole. |
 |
| To make armhole facing cut small notches in curve of armhole. Then turned over twice and stitched to avoid fraying. (bias tape could be used instead) |
 |
| Fold the fabric at the top between the arm holes to make a casing. (I used the squares as a guide to fold on.) |
 |
| The fabric only needs to be folded once since bandannas come hemmed!! After fabric is folded sew at bottom of fold to make a casing. |
 |
| Attach a safety pin to the end of a ribbon and feed it through the casing. Doesn't matter the size of ribbon. (I used wide.) |
 |
| By now there should be two casings and each has a ribbon fed through. (I used two different ribbons because that's what I had on hand) |
 |
| After feeding both ribbons through each casing turn dress inside out and tie the ribbons together to complete the neck hole. |
| |
| Wha~La!! Bandanna dress complete!! Unlike most dresses, this one doesn't need hemming. |
