Make a tie-dye heart dress from a men’s undershirt (video!)

Remember those cute little tie-dye heart dresses from last week’s Tulip tie dye post?

I thought the tutorial would be best demonstrated with video. I split it into 3 parts however that way you don’t have to sit through 15 minutes of stuff you don’t need if you’re just looking for one step in particular. You’re busy, I get it.

Part 1 is cutting the dress, Part 2 the dyeing & finally Part 3, the assembly of the dress. This project is easy peasy pumpkin skeezy.

I promise, it’s DEFINITELY a beginner’s sewing project. And who knew tie-dying was so addictive??

Hi, my name’s Natasha & I’m addicted to dyeing everything I can get my hand’s on. That cat’s lucky she’s black.

(I used Tulip easy one step tie dyes, for the last project Tulip sent me the supplies but this time I actually went and bought more myself because I liked them so much. I snagged these Tulip One-Step Tie Dye Kit rainbow shades, LOVE them!)

 

 


That’s it! What’d you think of video instead of pictures for directions? I feel like sometimes it’s easier to actually see someone make something live. All though, man, video editing is a pain-in-the-butt! That’s ok, when Martha sees it it’ll be totally worth it.

Great tutorial! I have to try this, but my daughter is not so little anymore, maybe a tank for her. I found your blog because I heard Kane talking about it so I texted the show to get the name of it. I love it! I have a blog myself, but I do mostly crochet. My sewing skills are not up to par.

Aw, thank you so much for going to such trouble to find me! I just thanked Kane for taking the time to spread the word too. (:

I was so inspired by your blog this weekend! I made so many things for Ellie! I made a circle skirt, then realized that if I added straps to it, it could be a cute halter top. Then I made a dress based on this blog, then a tu-tu, then an adorable set using your baby yoga pants blog and the circle skirt pattern with straps for a top. I also introduced Ellie to popcorn this weekend, she had lots of fun throwing it everywhere…

I LOVE LITTLE PINK MONSTER!
