In this video, I showed a step to step photo on how to sew a simple knit top. This was a video I did a while ago but got lost why I was updating a software on my computer.

I did take some photos along the way too. So I’m using the photos for this video.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Compliment of the season to you all. Hope you are all getting ready for the Xmas and the wonderful New year ahead. I haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet. I’m one of those last minute shoppers 🙂 .

I’m wearing a knit poncho I made in less than 10 min. I saw a picture and tutorial on Pinterest a while ago and decided to try it out. I have so many DIYs I pinned on my board on Pinterest. It’s been so helpful for me because of so many techniques I’ve learnt from different designers and bloggers.

I made a Youtube tutorial on it Here. So what do you think.

Sew a Maxi Dress in Less than an Hour

BiKé ©

Hi All, Hope you’re all having a nice week so far. I’m wearing a T-Shirt maxi dress I put together within an hour and I was able to do a quick tutorial on it. I have both the photo tutorial and I also have the video tutorial Here.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the tutorials.

Here is The Tutorial

Below are the materials including your sewing machine, You will need 2 to 2 and 1/2 yrds of knit fabric.

Step 1:

Fold your fabric into 4. Fold it into 2 first with the finished edges together then fold it one more time. Also fold your T Shirt into 2 with the front side inside and the back outside. Lay it on the folded part of the fabric and trace it out.

NOTE: When tracing it make sure you leave half an inch allowance space.

Step 2:

Take out your T Shirt and put it on. Measure from the hem (the bottom part of the T-Shirt) to how long you want the maxi dress to be.

Go back to the fabric, using the number you got, measure starting from the bottom of the traced T-Shirt to the end of the measurement and mark it.

Step 3:

At the end of the measurement, draw a line from one end of the fabric to the other end.

Step 4:

With a ruler pivot and draw a line from the side seam of the hem of the TShirt to the line you marked where you want the maxi dress to end.

Step 5:

To cut out the neck measure the length of the neck starting from the back neck to the end of the front neck like the photo below.

Mark it on the fabric and trace it starting from one neck angle to another.

Here is what the neck will look like after cutting.

Step 6:

At this point if you have a serger you can finish all the edges or you can use the zigzag option on your machine. Knits do not fray so you can also leave the edges the way it is.

Step 7:

Take your dress to the machine and join the shoulder and side seam together using the zigzag stitch. Its always advisable to use the zigzag stitch when working with knit. If you use the straight line stitch it snaps and cut when pulled.
