Mini Dress – You Just Stretch And Sew

January 29th, 2017 by admin under mini dress

Fantastic! Asos is almost any fashion magazinelover’s dream come true. Make Me Chic has a great selection of dresses, boots, pants, fancy dress costumes, swimwear and all sorts of women’s clothing. Whenever meaning these ‘bargain priced’ clothes are actually quite good looking, even more surprising is that someone with taste is behind it. On p of this, since it’s quite difficult to find anything over $ 30 whatsoever, so this shop is surprising. Very much worth a look!

It’s an interesting fact that the front piece of this dress is rather wide so you have to tape the two pieces together.

mini dress That’s a fact, it’s not cut along the fold, unlike the back.

You have to add the seam allowances, that are indicated on the cutting layout, as with most Japanese sewing patterns.

I wasn’t sure how to draw that seam allowance so I just ok a guess and made an approximately 45 degree angle for that bit. You do add a 7/8″ seam allowance to the front neckline. That said, this has a triangular shape as this will fold over and be stitched down. For this dress, you do NOT add seam allowance to the armholes or the back neckline as these three areas will have binding added to them. Let me tell you something. You’ll need to add some length to the seam allowance on both ends, Therefore in case you look at the diagram of the front neckline. Basically, wasn’t a big deal because My fabric was lightweight.

mini dress I didn’t trim my seam allowance and I’ve got a tal of four fabric layers that I stitched through.

I think the idea was to give the sleeves a small amount of weight but they stick out slightly.

It looked pretty good but it was a bit thick. On p of that, granted I didn’t press the dress anyway so maybe that can be fixed with a little pressing. It will stretch to go along the curves, as long as this pattern uses a knit fabric. It’s a straightforward p to sew but the armhole and neck bindings can be a little tricky if you haven’t had any experience sewing knit bindings.The bindings are essentially long rectangles. Did you hear about something like this before? The armhole binding is done a little differently that I’ve done with other knits I’ve sewn -folding the binding and later stitching to the sleeve hem.

mini dress For this dress, you sew the binding to the armhole, gently stretching as you sew.

You fold it over twice and after that sew it close to the edge.

I’m pretty sure I had lots of extra binding left over, as you can see here. I cut off the excess. I decided to give it a whirl. I still need to trim down the back neck binding as long as it’s folding up and you can sort of see the raw edge peeking in the back here. Seriously. That said, this one’s for you, Therefore if you like short knit dresses. You just stretch and sew. That’s right! You may seek for to practice sewing a strip of knit to a shorter piece of fabric, if you haven’t sewn knit bindings before. However, it’s not really something you can pin and sew. For a decent video about sewing a binding to a curve, see Cake Patterns video Binding on a Steep Curveon her Hummingbird sewalong tutorial. Make sure you leave a comment about it in the comment section. It was priced at $ 99/yard and the store was having a 40 percent off sale that day.

I’m really not sure.

I got it for less than $ 2 a yard at Fabric Outlet.

It’s either rayon or poly. The question is. Maybe it’s a rayon/poly blend? It’s my mockup. It is while using a lightweight synthetic knit, I made size L. Here’s the photo of it in the book. I actually pinned the binding to the back and it seemed like it was long enough but when I finished sewing it, To be honest I saw that a tad of the fabric of the back neckline was caught and folded over. Ack. Luckily it was only an inch or so from the end so I unpicked it that part and stretched the binding to fit. Certainly, my back neck binding seemed a little short so you must gentlystretch it as you’re sewing it OR just cut it a little longer than the diagram indicates, and cut off any excess.
