Cut open the right seam on one dress or shirt and the left seam on the other dress or shirt. Turn both dresses or shirts inside out, then lay them next to each other. Match the seams together and bunch up about an inch of the material. Use straight pins down the seam-line to hold the two articles of clothing together.
