These dresses are a simple circle of cloth attached to the bottom of a t-shirt. We have shirts and cloth at the shop, or you are welcome to use your own.

These shorts are a great project for beginners or fast for those that know the trade. These are made of a thicker fabric usually, but cotton works too.
