I found this easy way to make mini shirt (Source), the author use neoprene which is a simple fabric to work with, you don’t need to sew any hems, and it was stretchy enough to not have to put in a zip. You can definitely use any fabric for this project.
Materials:
- scuba/neoprene fabric around 0.5cm thick (1/4 of an inch)
- craft paper
- a pencil
- super sharp scissors
- pins
- a sewing machine
- matching needle and thread
