  Step 1

  I started by making a template for the diamond shape for the argyle out of an index card that is 2 3/4" wide and 4 inches tall. (The T-Shirt/dress is 6-6x girls size)

• Step 2

  I cut out 3 diamond shapes then ironed on Heat N Bond then ironed the shapes on the t-shirt about an half an inch apart - if you don't have Heat N Bond you could pin the pieces to the t-shirt.

  I used a zigzag stitch in a coordinating color (pink) and stitched around the edges to secure them to the t-shirt.

  Step 3

  I then pinned the diamond shape between the two diamond shapes sewn on the t-shirt and then zigzagged around the edges in a contrasting color (I used black).

• 

  Step 4

  Repeat the above between the other two diamonds.

• 

  Step 5

  For the skirt, I used 10 inches of fabric(fabric is 45 inches wide)and and put a half in hem at the bottom and used decorative stitch on top in contrasting thread.

  I then ran a gathering stitch at the top, sewed a seam in the back, then pinned right sides together with the seam and the center of the back of the t-shirt and pinned around the t-shirt then stitched together.

  Step 6

  I used 2 yds of 1 inch wide ribbon, fold it in half and zigzag the ribbon to the right side. I then stitched down at the bottom all the way around except I where the bow is to be tied.

  I tied the bow then ran a decorative stitch at the ends of the ribbon at an angle where I wanted to cut them then cut off the ends.
