Have a t-shirt that needs new life? Maybe it's your absolute favorite and you feel it needs a refresh? Is your fabric stash growing out of control but you don't know what to make?? Repurpose those materials by turning them into a dress!
Design and sew your own signature tee dress By Rachel Nevarez with my NEW PDF worksheet and instructions. There is no actual pattern for this tee dress, these pages will walk you through a series of measurements, calculations (don't be scared), and step-by-step instructions (with pictures!) to customize the tee dress to your liking.
All you need is a tee shirt (or tank top), and some fabric. While this tee dress is best suited for light-mid weight knit fabrics, woven fabrics can be used. And the best part? It's absolutely FREE!
Details:
- Learn how to upcycle your tee into a dress
- How to measure so the dress is customized to you
- Best practices for gathering
- Fillable worksheet so you can record all of your measurements and calculations
- FREE YouTube tutorial coming soon
Skill Level: Beginner
Skills learned: Gathering, sewing gathers, upcycling, and measuring your body for a custom fit.
*While this pattern is FREE, you will still need to complete the checkout process, no payment will be processed.

Q: How are your PDF patterns different?
A: As a fashion instructor, I have seen all sorts of ways in which people learn. My patterns focus on digestible instructions and clear visuals. Students struggle when pattern companies make assumptions about sewing knowledge and skip steps and illustrations. It's not the skill level that gets the student stuck, it's the instructions. My focus in my patterns is to detail every single step you need. I am confident my instructions will guide you to success + teach you new skills. And if you need/want to see the process, click the YouTube sew-a-long link in the product description.
Meet the Maker
My name is Rachel Nevarez and my mom taught me how to sew when I was 7 years old. In high school, I wanted to be different and heavily invested in sewing and thrifting my own wardrobe.
I never stopped sewing and built a 20+ year career for myself in the Los Angeles fashion industry as a designer, product developer, and production manager.
Today I am a wife, mom, and fashion instructor spending my free time, you guessed it, sewing!
