@AnitabyDesign Thank you, I am excited! I see this dress has a single back yoke. My mum always insisted on a double one, even if it was a plain cotton, because she said the entire garment hangs off those shoulder seams. What are your views on this?

I bought similar fabric with smocking, but eyelets all over and a very decorative hem line. How do I shorten the dress at the bottom of the smocking to preserve the beauty of the eyelet hem? ❤
@AnitabyDesignКүн бұрын
The only way I can think of doing that is cutting the fabric at the end of the shirring and creating a seam after shortening to your desired length.
@elizabethgrubbs9767Күн бұрын
@@AnitabyDesign any suggestions on "fitting" the fabric at the bottom of the cut? I'm taking almost 10 inches off the length, so the circumference will not line up with the shirring. I'm wondering if I should see the vertical seam, then raise the lower portion up (without cutting it off just yet) then use the surger, with a cutting attachment to secure.. are there any tips to doing this, that you can think of? 🙏❤️

@AnitabyDesign9 күн бұрын
Cut the panel in half after determining your width. You will have two pieces instead of one. Sew the side seams together, adding pockets.

Gosh, they ( the pattern envelope companies like Simplicity, McCall’s, Vogue, Butterick, etc., should use YOU as the model for the pictures on the pattern envelopes. Not only do you look Berger, but your fabric choice, and fit are so much better.

What I appreciated so much about this video was that you used a fabric with a very contrasting color between the Right Side and the Wrong side. I’m a beginner and have recently taken three 3 sewing classes at my local community college’s continuing education department for a 4 class certification, each a semester long, and none of the teachers would use such a fabric that made it very clear what the Right Side, the Wrong Side, the Back, and the Front were as they were demonstrating their sewing when teaching how to make a knit t-shirt, dress shirt, and a pair of dress trousers. I’m dumbfounded that they didn’t, ‘cause that simple consideration would have made the classes so much easier. Thank you!

You give amazing details for the construction of the garments you sew. I wish I had received this kind of instructions when I was learning to sew. Growing up my pants were always 'cropped' because I was growing faster than the budget allowed. I will sew a pair of long pants instead of the cropped ones and follow your wonderful directions. I am going to get out my copy of the book from the Singer sewing library. Thank you so much for your incredible details.

Anita I can’t tell how delighted I am to have come across this tutorial! There was a wonderful woman who lived in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area years ago that made a HUGE IMPACT on my life. You look and sound just like her. And her name was Anita too, wow! I had a difficult childhood and she worked at a group home as a counselor where I lived for a time. She was so sweet and kind and brought me to her church. Showed me and some crafting projects and basically she helped us feel better about ourselves. If you are her, I am thrilled to be learning from you again 😁. And if you’re not her, well thank you for waking up some great memories! And I will be looking for more of your videos 🦋

Anita, I am wondering how you use a toile - you suggest using old sheets - which, I am guessing from the video, are cotton - and stable - to inform the adjustments needed for a fabric and pattern that are for stretch knit fabrics? This pattern suggests adjusting the usual sizing to one size smaller - is that what you did? I have found that the garment has come up slightly shorter that I had hoped!!!
@AnitabyDesign13 күн бұрын
When I'm making a toile (muslin) for a knit garment, I use a knit fabric of similar thickness. I always choose my pattern size based on my desired fit. I look at the finished measurements on the front pattern piece and choose the cutting line accordingly.
