I found an easy tutorial for making a t-shirt into a little girl's tunic. I made two for Ricki's daughter Mollie this week and had to really cut the t-shirts down. However, the pattern calls for a men's medium or large. It seems to me that this would be suitable for girls ages 4-7.
Iron the t-shirt (as you can see from my photos, I skipped this step!) and lay it on a flat surface. Use the guide below to mark and cut the t-shirt.
Fold the top edge over one inch and pin it. Sew the fold along the edge so that a ribbon can go through the channel you've created.
Attach a safety pin to a 48 inch long 3/4 inch wide fabric ribbon. Feed the ribbon pin first through both channels to form a loop. Pull the ribbon to cinch up the neck of the tunic. Making sure the hole is big enough for the head, tie the ribbon ends in a bow.
(Sorry the photos are in a weird order. I have no control over that when I post from my iPhone.
