Manhattan Blouse Hack Dress Variation //

Materials:
-Manhattan Dress Pattern
–Pattern paper
-Pencil
-Transparent tape
–Acrylic Ruler

 

Cut out all pieces according to pattern instructions. When you get to the skirt pieces, pull out your extra pattern paper, pencil and tape.

Tape the bottom of the skirt pattern piece to a blank sheet of pattern paper.

Extend the lines of the side seam and the Center Front/Back seam. For size 4T, I extended it 8″. You may want to adjust that measurement for different sizes.

That’s it! Now sew up the pattern according to the instructions! It’s really that easy so make a whole bunch!
