When Girl M wants another dress, I do my best to surprise her. After watching another episode of Sewing with Nancy.
Knock out Knit Tops Part 2. I had the idea to copy her version of the t-shirt dress and add an angle piece at the waist for more interest.
I copied my T-shirt dress pattern, drew a wedge that was 4" wide on the right and 10" on the left, cut my pattern apart, then added seam allowances.
She asked for a square neckline this time. I cut out the top piece twice, sewed right sides together, turned and treated it as one piece. Not only did it line the top it acted like the facing too.

I used a piece of scrap ponte knit for the wedge. The rest of the dress only took 1 yard of fabric. (Advantages of being small!) The total amount for this dress was only $5.00. She'll never know!

The dress could have been a little bit longer. But Girl M is in love with this dress!
Another hit, I'm on a roll!
Until next time.....................
