TAMI TEE DRESS Size 2T-3TINSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS Waist: 20-22, Height 32-34
skill level: BEGINNER
by Der Donzi
This boatneck tee dress has just two pieces. Ive provided a few variations: Choose roll or cap sleeveson the Basic Version , or get all le French punk rockwith the graphic Triangle Version.
FABRICS: Any stretchy, medium-weight fabric will do fine. Check your scrap box and the remnant bins,
cos 3/4 yard will be plenty. Consider hacking up some old tee shirts and for the Triangle Version,
throw in a piece of stretch lace, stretchy sheer or bathing suit scrap for the contrast. One note about
working with tee or cotton/Lycra blends: they like to roll. Keep your iron handy to press the fabric as
you work to keep it flat. MATERIALS: Two buttons and/or two ribbon scraps for the rolled sleeves.
LAYOUT and CUTTING:
Wash and dry your fabric before you cut so that its pre-shrunk. There are two size options: a longer
version for 3T and shorter for 2T. If youre not sure, cut the longer one.
For the BasicVersion,choose cap or rolled
sleeves and cut
according to the
length indicated on
the pattern.
layout for Basic Version layout for Triangle VersionSEAM NOTE: I recommend either pinking the seams or using a zig-zag stitch after trimming unless
otherwise noted.
BASIC VERSIONNECKLINE. (Shortcut alert! I know the neck is an odd place to start, but Mommys all about
simplification. Trust me.)With right sides together, stitch the dress front (A) to dress back (B) at one
shoulder seam (not both), and bind the seam. Press theseam toward the back and apply a row of topstitching very close to the seam. Next, turn the neckline
under ! inch, clipping it at the curves use your hot, steamy iron to press it down. Topstitch the neck
seam in place with 2 rows, each " inch apart. Then, complete the other shoulder seam, stitching the
dress front (A) to dress back (B) and bind it.
For the TriangleVersion,cut the cap
sleeve version of
B and cut the
desired length.
Use a scrap for
contrast D.

SIDESEAMS. With right sides together, stitch front (A) to back (B)
at the sides. Take that armpit curve slow, especially if youve
chosen cap sleeves. Clip the armpit curve and reinforce the seam
with another row of stitches on top of the first. (That curve tends
to unravel.) Bind the seams.
SLEEVES. If you chose cap sleeves, turn the sleeve edges under ! inch and press.
Then stitch them in place with two rows of topstitching, as you did at the neck. For
the rolled sleeve, leave the edge raw. Like sushi.Turn the dress right side out. Fold the
sleeves up twice, about # each fold, and pin them in place. Tack* the sleeve in place
at the armpit.
Stitch a button on the shoulder at the fold, OR wrap a 2-
inch piece of ribbon around the shoulder seam, stitching
its ends in place on the shoulder seam; OR do both!
FINISH ER UP. Turn the hem under 1 inch(or more if you want it shorter) and use two rows of topstitching to finish it, roughly
5/8 and 7/8 inch from the edge.
TRIANGLE VERSION (See images above for reference)DRESS FRONT. With right sides together, stitch the front middle (D) to front bottom (E) and bind the
seam with zig-zag and press. Then stitch the assembly (D/E) to the front top (C), bind the seam and
press.
NECKLINE. With right sides together, stitch the dress front (D) to dress back (B) at one shoulder seam(not both), and bind the seam. Next, turn the neckline under ! inch, clipping it at the curves use your
hot, steamy iron to press it down. Topstitch the neck seam in place with 2 rows, each " inch apart.
Then, complete the other shoulder seam, stitching the dress front (D) to dress back (B) and bind it.
SLEEVES. (I know! You seasoned sewers may be rolling your eyes. The kids going to be wearing the
dress about seven minutes from now.)Turn the sleeve edges under ! inch and press. Then stitch them
in place with two rows of topstitching, as you did at the neck.
SIDESEAMS. With right sides together, stitch front (C/D/E) to back (B) at the sides. Take that armpit
curve slow, especially if youve chosen cap sleeves. Clip the armpit curve and reinforce the seam with
another row of stitches on top of the first. (That curve tends to unravel.) Bind the seams.
FINISH IT UP. Turn the hem under 1 inch (or more if you want it shorter) and use two rows of
topstitching to finish it, roughly 5/8 and 7/8 inch from the edge.
* What's tackmean? There are several different tailoring meanings, but in this case, its a couple of tiny stitches that keep
something in place. Imagine the stitches used to sew on a button, but without the button.
