DIY TANK DRESS from a tank top and 2 rectangles | Super easy & beginner friendly sewing project

[@johannaholmgren8088]

This is beautiful. This can also be done with Tshirts with sleeves for those of us who may not have the nicest arms, or if we want something where a sleeveless dress may not be suitable. And there are so many ways to personalise this kind of dress. Its simple but brilliant!!

[@JessDangDIY]

Yeah, so many ways to personalize this dress with the different tops.

[@jesshothersall]

Long sleeved dresses are one of the few items of clothes I'm short of, so brilliant extra idea, thank you! :)

[@RuthJohnstonaworldofgoods]

My all-time favorite sewing diy ever! I've sewn for 52 years and watch lots of sewing videos. This was amazing. Thank you! Also, you are adorable with a very pretty voice.

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@johannaholmgren8088]

Same here. This is a terrific idea for girls of all ages and sizes, from little girls to big ones!!

[@GaiaCarney]

@RuthJohnston - you’ve said it best! This is an inspiring tutorial since I find sewing arm holes difficult ☺️

[@MBelhaoua]

I'm literally gonna cry Yesterday, I was looking for a good tutorial to make a tank jumpsuit (or a tank dress) And you released this video just in time Thank you so much Jess!! Your videos are amazingly helpful!!!

[@JessDangDIY]

So happy it came right on time for you. Hope you enjoy doing it now

[@felliesweetie]

I love how modest your designs are. Thanks

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you for loving it too!

[@sharonbrinders1224]

Wow thank you so much Jess, what an amazing transformation. Love the black and white dress. Definitely going to try this.

[@JessDangDIY]

Thank you for loving it! Looking forward to seeing yours soon

[@probed100]

Such a beautiful dress with a brilliant fit

[@franug]

love the idea!! Perfect to look for tank tops in thrift stores and do this

[@JessDangDIY]

Yeah, and it'll be perfect for summer too

[@ИринаЮдина-ж1р]

Спасибо! Понравилась идея! 59 лет, я шью, пожалуй подберу для такого варианта! ❤

[@lhan3385]

I really love your sewing video. It's informative but also very creative with really nice feminine garments that would look lovely on anyone.

[@nievesdefrancesco5354]

What a great idea. I've seen this before, but you have added those extras like pockets and elastic, that take it to the next level, thank you ❤

[@USVeganTraveler]

Beautiful and flattering! I am built somewhat like you and feel like I'm drowning in tops that flair too much. I plan on dying some fabric to get exactly what I want and maybe using a tshirt that I own with sleeves. THANK YOU!

[@tanyabooysen3958]

Jess this is exactly what I was looking for,I will be using a wider t shirt as I dont want it so fitted its perfect for my easy summer wardrobe, thanks so much,keep well.

[@JessDangDIY]

Yeah! This dress is a perfect one for summer

[@amira9914]

I just made this and it is my first ever sewing project, i started at 6 am finished 10 am i made some mistakes but i finished it and it looks fantastic i cant thank you enough 💗

[@caring4all2008]

I am a total beginner sewer, and what a blessing to find someone like you to get inspiration from!! I bought a sewing machine and honestly to scared to unpack it, but thanks to you, I now will 😂 Thank you so much for your inspiring videos ❤

[@JessDangDIY]

You can do it!

[@lizzieb6311]

Do it girl! I was same as you six months ago and found wonderful confidence boosting videos like this one which enabled me to create cute “wearable” garments. Very empowering and fun!

[@lizzieb6311]

Hey…here’s something you may find helpful…I will pick up cheap remnants at the fabric store (but now typically have scraps) and sew over and over on them practicing seams…button holes…zips… gathering…whatever the “skills” or techniques a pattern calls for, I’ll work on scraps for 30 minutes or so before diving into the pattern. I feel far more confident and move more quickly through the process if I’ve already PRACTICED it until the end result is good on my remnants/scraps. It’s also a great way to,get your stitch length and tension settings correct before sewing your project. Just make sure you use same type of fabric as your project (cotton…linen…fleece…etc)… this way you’re replicating the real conditions. Also, I have finally began creating “toiles” or mock-ups on projects that are a bit more fitted or complicated…game changer for me…but that came after I was turning out garments that were technically good…but didn’t fit perfectly…..have FUN!

[@caring4all2008]

@lizzieb6311 Thank you so much for taking the time to give such great advice. I'm definitely going to follow it. 'Practice does make perfect'. I truly appreciate everything you said.❤️

[@jesshothersall]

@@caring4all2008 After many years sewing, I'll still do a couple of lines on offcuts of the fabric I'm about to sew, as the above lady said, just to check the tension/stitch lengths are good to go. Remember there's No such thing as failure, you just found another way it didn't work so well. The first time you wear something you made, you will feel awesome, even if it's not perfect, (it never is perfect no matter how many years we sew for), so forget perfection, and settle for excellent as your goal :) The other thing to remember is to have the right thickness/shape needle for whatever you're sewing, knits need a rounded tip needle, while denim needs a thick one, and silk/lightweights a fine one. Also get a seam reaper, and when you first have to undo a seam sewn in the wrong place/wrong way round/caught underneath, know you've joined our happy club of mistakes made equals progress in learning :) oh and you can get small plastic clips that hold edges together but without sticking you like pins do, so get both, Happy sewing!

[@sleepingatthefrontrow]

I thrifted a black sleeveless top I love the fit of and thought "What if it was a dress?" And then I got the notification of your video 😂❤ love it!

[@JessDangDIY]

Great! Looking forward to see your version soon

This is gorgeous, Jess ❤ Thank you for sharing! Did you use a stretch knit needle on your machine when attaching the woven fabric to the knit at the waist?

[@soyearold]

I was thinking the same thing

[@JessDangDIY]

Actually I didn't use it. But I used a thin needle for it

[@MaryBobbins]
