Excited to share my fourth #sewingpattern, the Sally #slipdress with you! It is a great sewing project for #beginners and a total wardrobe staple. The dress comes together very quickly and doesn't feature any difficult techniques like zippers or buttons.
This step by step tutorial accompanies the sewing pattern available on my Etsy shop and takes you through the assembly process of the dress, as well as shows in detail how to sew the lining for it.
You can purchase the dress via my Etsy shop: thrillsandstitches.etsy.com/u...
If you choose to make your own Sally dress, please share it with me on Instagram either 1 on 1 via DM or tag me under @thrillsandstitches 💜

The way you finish these shoulder seams is genius!

Nice! KUDOS for the lining!!! Despite what others think, a lined dress looks far more elegant on the wearer. It also gives this dress a bit of structure as well, which looks nicer. I may do a version of this with some short sleeves 😄.

@ThrillsandStitches 8 ай бұрын

Yes! Thank you! Lining is essential IMO ☺️ I hope you give it a go! Adding sleeves should be an easy hack👌

@@ThrillsandStitches I've added sleeves to sleeveless for years. I have a standard short, 3/4 and full sleeve pattern that I often use. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and used to always raid my parent's closet for things from the 50s & 60s. The dresses and skirts had side zippers and were lined. Same for men's trousers.

Lovely dress and the material suits it. It seems quite straightforward to make. I would prefer it with some sort of sleeves, even short ones would do. I suppose I could use sleeves from another pattern, do you think?

@ThrillsandStitches 8 ай бұрын

Thank you, and absolutely! It should be very easy to add sleeves, you might just want to add a strap to the shoulders to tie up behind your neck so the sleeves don’t fall down with the weight :)

I love it!!! I want to try 🤞🏻 What fabric do you use for lining? Thank you ❤

@ThrillsandStitches 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I used a micro mesh material, it’s a stretchy polyester that’s anti static and barely noticeable when you wear the dress, which is why I like it 🤗

@franny7105 2 ай бұрын

just bought the pattern so exited to make! If I'm making it out of a cotton fabric, would it be best to cut on the bias?

@ThrillsandStitches 2 ай бұрын

Yes that's a good idea! It will give the dress more drape which can be beneficial :) Hope you enjoy the pattern!

Am I insane for wanting to make this dress but the only thing I have sewn were napkins and pijama shorts? I have a wedding in four weeks and I really want to make this, I have a lot of free time as I am on vacation right now. My plan is to make a prototipe first with another fabric before risking it all on the satin.

@ThrillsandStitches 6 ай бұрын

You can 100% do this! Especially as you've already made shorts, this dress is easier I'm telling you :) It's a good idea to make a prototype first, this way you'll get any insecurities out of your system. You got this!

I purchased your pattern and I'm in the midst of making a Sally dress myself. I need some help. I watched the video multiple times but I don't understand how you got the notches for the skirt to line up the front and back bodices. I've been sewing and unpicking for several hours now because I can't get the v-neck to align. Do you have advice on how to resolve this?

@ThrillsandStitches 2 ай бұрын

Hi there! Sorry to hear this proofs difficult for you. The most important thing is to align the sides and center front of the bodice and skirt in the underbust seam. When you pin the seam you will find that the ease in the bust pieces starts to appear. You want to gather the ease under your bust apex for a nice look. Make sure that the seam allowance in the center front for both bust pieces stays loose when you attach them to the to the skirt. This is so you can attach the lining later and have a crisp tip in the V-neckline. I hope this helps.
