The t-shirt dress and the "mini skirt"

 My husband says I look Amish in this picture above.  Ha!  I totally do.  

I've never worked with knit so while my mother-in-law was in town she showed me how to work with knit on my sewing machine by making me this dress.  It's a dress I've been wanting to create.  It's t-shirt sewn to some jersey knit material.  My machine doesn't have a place for a double needle but she was able to make it work with basting stitches and zig zag stitches.  

 Tie in the back.

The T-Shirt Dress

  I looked weirder in my smiling pictures so I'm stuck with this one.  

 The mini skirt

After cutting the t-shirt I had the bottom half left-over.  Luckily I have a mini person in my household right now and I used the left-over t-shirt to make my first knit project.  The hem was already taken care of so it was really just doing a casing and I left some space at the top for the "paper bag" effect.
