French Mariniere T shirt tutorial

06/08/2012

If you didn’t make it over to Project Run & Play to see the tutorials going on for the Flickr Friends Month go and take a look!
I posted my French Mariniere Hand painted dress tutorial below on Monday and am now sharing it here too.
My tutorial  for the French Mariniere t- shirt dress.
This dress was a part of my signature look for the Project Run and play Flick pool:
This is a very simple dress to make. 
I have had a love affair for the Mariniere tee for years now and it seems I am not he only one. I have some good company!
Coco Chanel.

Pablo Picasso.

Bridgitte Bardot.
Are you convinced yet that this is a great look and that you need one too?
 Although the Mariniere is easy to find outside of France for adults, finding them for children is very difficult so I decided to make one for Gigi.
Here are the directions for the tutorial:
Materials needed:
An adult white t shirt from the hobby shop
marine blue fabric paint
a small paintbrush
wooden or sailor type anchor buttons
a sewing machine

Bon Jour mes amis!

    This shirt is adorable. I love the hand-painted stripes! I may have to try it on a t-shirt for me!

    How do you adjust the neck of an adult-sized teeshirt to fit a toddler? Mine fall off the shoulder.
