Turn your garment inside out and lay flat. Use your child&#8217;s top (or t-shirt) as a guide to the determine the width of your finished garment. Cut as indicated in picture.<br \/>\n<em>Note: For a <strong>Drop Waist Dress<\/strong> cut the body a little longer than your child&#8217;s t-shirt. For an <strong>Empire style dress<\/strong>, cut the body shorter than your child&#8217;s t-shirt and make the skirt part longer.

Straight stitch is ok here as there is no real stretch in the fabric, but if your fabric has stretch in both directions use a zig zag stitch.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-23692 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/detail-seam.jpg\" alt=\"refashion a woman's knit top into a girl's dress mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/detail-seam.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/detail-seam-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/detail-seam-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Note: Don&#8217;t worry too much about seam finishes, knit fabrics won&#8217;t unravel like woven fabrics, so you can save yourself a step here.<\/em><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-23704 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sleeve-seam.jpg\" alt=\"refashion a woman's knit top into a girl's dress mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"600\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sleeve-seam.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sleeve-seam-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sleeve-seam-200x164.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n3.

Using a straight stitch set to the longest stitch length, sew right around the top of the skirt panel close to the raw\/cut edge. Leave a long (few cm&#8217;s) tail of thread when starting and finishing.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-23695 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/gather-skirt-2.jpg\" alt=\"How to gather fabric\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/gather-skirt-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/gather-skirt-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/gather-skirt-2-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n5. To gather, gently pull the bobbin thread, and slide the fabric along the thread to create gentle gathers.

With top section the right way out, pin the skirt section to the waist of top, right sides of fabric facing. Your skirt should be upside down and wrong side out like in the picture. Take care to match side seams on skirt and bodice\/top.<br \/>\nSew waist seam with a narrow zig zag stitch (to allow for stretching).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-23693 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/dress-finished.jpg\" alt=\"refashion a woman's knit top into a girl's dress mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/dress-finished.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/dress-finished-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/dress-finished-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nTrim threads and you are done!<\/p>\n<p>UNLESS&#8230;you have a low cut neckline like this garment, then it&#8217;s easy to add a modesty panel.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve used remnant fabric from this same dress, but you can use whatever fabric you like.

Cut a square of double the depth of your finished panel and just a little wider than the neckline. Make sure you allow for seams.

Only 3 main seams, 4 if you need to add a panel on the front.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to go to the effort of downsizing an adult top, you can still use the same skirt attachment technique to add a skirt (made out of an adult t-shirt) to a child t-shirt or tank that is just a bit too short but still fits well on the body.<br \/>\nHave fun mix and matching fabrics, you are limited only by your imagination.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed this tutorial.
