Description
"Carla" is a ressource saving and simple upcycling project- plus it is really casual or chic, depending on your material choice and your styling.

For this dress, we'll change an old men's shirt into a cool dress, in combination with a fabric which you might already have at home! We'll work with something which is already here and create something new out of it. Apart from being very eco friendly we'll also take advantage of the fact that the shirt already comes with some details which we don't have to sew- such as the collar and the placket with the buttons.
Of course a lot of pattern and colour combinations are possible. I'm really into the combo stripes with african waxprint. But also the check with the african print is so nice! Just look through your fabric stash and visit your local thrift shop with this inspiration, I'm sure you'll find a combination that you love.

-------------------oooOOOooo---------------

What you'll learn or practise:
- how to sew side seam pockets
- how to sew pockets with flaps

Sewing level: beginners. All difficult details come with the shirt already!

What you get:
- pdf pattern for the dress (one size, pattern adaption will be explained in the instruction, very easy), printable on DINA 4/US letter and DINA1 (english & german, seam allowances are included)
- detailed sewing instruction with photos here on Ribblr
- video tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9aBDRSecn4

-------------------oooOOOooo---------------

You'll need this:
- printer, glue, paper scissors, A4 or letter size paper or printed pattern on DINA1
- fabric scissors, sewing machine, matching yarn, iron, needles, measuring tape
- fabric: ~70 cm (140 cm fabric width)/ 90 cm african waxprint
- 1x men's shirt, straight fit, a bit oversized
- small piece of interlining in H180 or H200
-~70 cm of lining (optional)
- cute woven label (optional)

1 men's shirt, straight fit, a bit oversized: Please choose the size of the shirt according to your chest width. It should fit loosely, but how loose exactly is up to your taste. For example I'm always calculating here an extra width of 20- 30 cm at the chest and about 12-20 cm extra width at the hip (total measurement all around). So it makes sense to look for shirts in sizes M to XXL. Further the shirt should have a straight fit, not "slim fit" or "fitted" with many seams and darts. Regarding the material, a cotton shirt is most comfortable to wear.
If you don't have a thrift shop nearby you can also look for shirts in online thrift shops or ask your relatives/ husband/ friends!
