Flowy Shirt

You're going to love this tutorial! This is such a simple shirt to make and can go with so many things. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

Materials needed:

1 yard of soft, flowy fabric.

I always search the clearance fabric for this. You can get it for as low as $2/yard!

Lay out your yard of fabric, with the fold at the top. Mark the center top of your fabric on the fold. Measure how you want your neckline. I marked mine 4" on either side of the center mark and 2" down. Take into consideration your hemline. Cut your neck out.

Now measure how wide you want your sleeves. I marked mine 10" down from the shoulder.

Decide how wide you want your shirt. It's supposed to be flowy, so don't make it too tight! I did mine 2x my chest measurement. You can always put it over you and mark or pin where you want your seams.

Pin along your marks and cut off excess fabric.

A serger is the easiest things to use for this. If you don't have a serger, use a zig-zag stitch for your seams. Sew your shirt up on the seams, and press.

Try your shirt on and see how long you want it. Cut off the excess.

Turn your shirt inside out and either use a rolled hem on your serger or you can hem by folding over 1/4", press and turn over again 1/4", press, pin and stitch. Hem the bottom of your shirt, your sleeves and neckline.

 

Try on your new shirt and make any adjustments needed.

 

Now you can rock your new flowy shirt!
