Hi there, I hope you are well. I had a leftover knit cotton fabric in a lovely printed pink and decided to make a simple summer dress with it. I was checking my summer wardrobe last month and it lacked t-shirt dresses and some summer tops. So, I started to sew this t-shirt dress and will continue following my plans. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted t-shirt pattern and lengthened it above my knee. And here are the pattern pieces: - Front (on fold) 1x - Back (on fold) 1x - Neckband 57 cm long x 5 cm wide. The sewing process was easy and fast. I did it in three hours. It started with sewing the shoulder lines together and the dress sides together using my overlocker machine. And then sewed the V-neckband piece and attached it to the neckline. I sewed around the neckline with a sewing machine first and covered the raw edge using an overlocker machine. And top-stitched the neckline 0.25 cm using a sewing machine. ...

DeleteWhat a pity you couldn't wear it at Christmas - maybe your birthday or wedding anniversary might be a good time. It is a really lovely little dress - it hangs nicely, suits you and the beading is beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah Liz, actually I have done the dress three days before Christmas but the work on beading took longer time than I thought. Anyway, I should remember to plan better next time :) Thank you so much for such sweet comment
DeleteSuch a lot of work in the beading! It looks fabulous. Hope you get a chance to wear it soon.
