SXSW Swag Hack
My office sent a couple of people to the SXSW Interactive Conference this year. When they came back, they were quite generous in sharing all the free swag they got. I really liked the artwork on the t-shirt I picked, but it was WAY too big for me to wear and way too awesome for this shirt to be destined to be a nightshirt. So instead, I brought in to Effiloché for my sewing tutorials one Saturday. Made a sketch of how I thought it could be converted into to a dress and Anne helped me make the transformation.
My brief sketch of how I wanted to "hack" the t-shirt.
I used this old pajama t-shirt as a guide of how I wanted the finished t-shirt dress to fit.
The armholes, neckline and side seams were all modified. I also added in 6 vents in a contrasting grey jersey fabric to create a full skirt.
Pattern: Improvised from favourite PJ t-shirt top
Materials: XL T-shirt brought back from SXSW by a coworker

I plan to draw up the instructions of how I made this transformation but this post has been waiting in draft limbo for too long. Maybe I'll post them at some point.
