Don't you just love summer
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

Together with my mom I walked on the lively boulevard of Scheveningen. We ate icecream, wandered down Scheveningen Pier and felt the soft summer breeze. I love having nowhere to be and having so much free time. When I got home I had the urge to use this inspiring day for one of my little projects and make something very beach like.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    <- I used a fitted shirt.

    If you use a shirt that's a bigger size then your usual you'll get some sort of dress, you'll have more pleats and I think it's more comfortable and pretty.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Grab a shirt.

    Cut off sleeves but leave as much usable fabric as you can


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Front; Cut along the red line. Cut a straight line from sleeve to sleeve below the lowest part of the neckline ribbing.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Back; Cut a straight line from lowest part of cut off sleeves.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Pin a bias tape onto the part which is indicated blue in the picture (or hem it).

    I've made my own bias tape from scrap fabric and used this tutorial

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Tunnel piece;
    Cut a strip with the same measurements as the neck (orange on picture) but measuring 7cm wide.
    press it as if it were a bigger piece of bias tape.
    Sew it on, this is going to be the tunnel.

    Neck piece;
    From scrap fabric cut a strip measuring 160cm long and 7cm wide.
    fold it over (160cm x 3.5cm)and sew it. Turn inside out and press. Close both ends.

    Pull through tunnel and tie it.
