Melanie from the Crafty Cupboard shows us how she sewed this pretty dress for little girls.  Upcycling an existing t-shirt, and using some fabric , a beautiful “Twirly Dress” is born.   The bottom half of this dress is actually a very simple circle skirt with a serged bottom hem.  If you need some extra help calculating your circle skirt radius, the Snug Bug has some excellent information to help you draft this pattern piece.  I really love this sewing project because we end up with such a fantastic garment.  This dress pattern would be suitable for flower girls too!
