Question from a hobbyist seamstress - why do you sew the seams on a sewing machine first before serging them after - surely just serging them does both jobs in one? Thanks for another informative video for making this funky summer dress in one of my favourite colours! I'm also thinking this in a red/rust/brown pincord would make a great autumn dress 😍 🍂

@user-lea 3 жыл бұрын

@@Thistlevixen heyy. Im also not a professional, but this has something to do with the kind of fabric. Woven fabrics like linen or jeans have to be sewn like this, while a seam with a serger is enough for knitwear.

@Thistlevixen 3 жыл бұрын

@@user-lea Ah I see, presumably sewing it normally first sets the seam in place so it doesn't get stretched as it goes through the serger - thank you!

I made this dress!! It's going to be worn for my 21st birthday and throughout summer in general ☀️. The outer material is a really pretty white linen with coloured flower prints. It was see-through on its own so I added a cotton lining. I am 99% sure I messed up how I was supposed to do the facing band but it turned out looking how it was meant to anyway somehow 🤷‍♀️. Being a novice and having only sewn one other dress before it took me days to complete (and a few times I worked on it for a good 10-12 hours in a row, only stopping for lunch and dinner. But it was well worth it. I was also able to do the project by myself without any assistance because the instructions were clear (sooo much better than commercial paper patterns which are a nightmare). I would usually read the instructions I printed out from the booklet we get given when purchasing the pattern, and then refer back to this video to double check I was doing everything right). I needed very little alterations to fit me perfectly which was amazing (and very simple to do). Just before adding the zip I removed 3.5cm fabric from down the centre back on each side so that it was a tighter fit, swapped out the regular straps for bow tie straps using instructions from a web blog, and lengthened the skirt to add 7cm.

@ElroyJones05 27 күн бұрын

I’m watching everything I can to make sure I get it right. I’ve done a ton of sewing over the years, and I’ve always just freehanded things and it worked. However, now that one of my daughters (the 8 year old) is drawing out clothes designs all the time and wants to make her own stuff. I need to make sure I’m telling her the right names and correct way of doing things. We went today and got her a ton of fabrics so that she can start her journey. I guess she’s tired of making things out of paper, tape, grocery bags, and my old clothes 😂. She wants to step her game up. Trust and believe we will be watching more of your videos.

To make this dress knee length you just need to make the skirt part of the pattern longer at the widest part without changing the angle of the line, just continue the lines, add however much length you need for your leg length and then follow the instructions as you would the shorter version.

Increase the diameter of the circle. Follow the straight sides of the skirt pieces and increase them the same amount on the bottom. Then connect those the best you can following the old edge but with a constant difference of the amount you want to ad. It's complicated to explain whithout pictures but very easy to do
