When I found this Gumby shirt, I knew that I needed to turn it into something fun–the perfect piece to begin an Upcycled project!
I had previously found this scrap fabric yardage (under a yard) at a thrift store, the Gumby shirt was the perfect pairing to this blue and white plaid fabric! What a playful compliment to each other!
I made this Upcycled dress by cutting the armholes, neckline, and hem of the Gumby t-shirt. I pleated the skirt to preference and attached it to the t-shirt. I turned back the hem and zigzag stitched it in place for looks. The inside of the dress is completely clean finished with an over lock machine (except for cut neckline and armholes, which were left for styling purposes).
