For our September challenge in the Upcyclers Team on Etsy we were asked to make something with tee shirts. Since my daughter is a skinny little thing that grows out of her tee shirts vertically quicker than anything, I decided to take her old shirts and make her a "new" dress. It was very simple. 
I had two shirts that were the same width. I cut both the shirts into strips horizontally, then using the cutest top and sleeves sewed alternate pieces of the tees around the bottom of each next strip until I got to a length I liked. I didn't hide the seams. I sewed these strips one over the other because I like the rolled edge of the jersey showing.
I added a swath of thrifted fabric from an old sheet and got an (almost) instant dress for summer or anytime of year.
This is an easy (and free!) project you can try at home with your own (or your kids) old tee shirts, a great use for tees with a small permanent stain. Just cut around the stain.
Have a blast creating your own "new" summer dress that is easy to wear, easy to wash , and super cute!
