DIY Sleeveless Shirt Dress
Hi there, I finished my sleeveless shirt dress, and I'm happy with the final result. The dress is comfy and perfect for summer. I will definitely wear it a lot. This summer, I'm focusing on building my capsule wardrobe, and I'm glad I managed to create three garments (a skirt, top, and sleeveless dress). I will continue sewing more garments to complete my plan. My progress will be slow, but I'm sure I will complete it before the end of the summer 😊 For the pattern, I used Faitmain shirt dress May 2019 size 38 and I used this pattern before to make two long-sleeved shirts. And this time, I omitted the sleeves and reduced the shoulder length by 2 cm. I used cotton fabric in blue and white gingham and I planned to add a pocket, but in the end, I gave up because it didn't look good. The sewing progress was slow as I have a lot of things to do. The only difficult part was sewing the collar. And in case you are interested in seeing ...
Hana, I love your new top.. Looks fantastic..
ReplyDeletelove those patterns, that you like well enough to keep making..
Have a great weekend and happy sewing.
Thank you, Judy. I am so glad found this basic pattern and can not wait to try another version :)
DeleteI can see why you make more of these Hana. We can never have enough basics and I love the stripes! This pattern can see you through various seasons. :) x
ReplyDeleteI finally realized that I have more frosting than the cake in my wardrobe. I just hope that I will be strong enough to hold my promise to sew more basics than fancy garments :)
DeleteI am hoping for this too! But the frosting is just soooo tempting isn't it?! :) x
DeleteYour top is really pretty. This is my favorite shirt. It fits nicely under my blazers. Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorothy. Blazer is a good combination for this top. I am thinking about that too :)
DeleteIt is hard to match stripes on knit fabric - the fabric keeps moving while it is being stitched. Looking at the sides, the stripes match well enough. It's a lovely top, looks great with the narrower shoulders. I love the boatneck as well - always looks good with stripes.
ReplyDeleteI spent the time pinning and matching them but the stripes don't want to match perfectly :( In the end I just leave it and I think the imperfection only in my eyes, other people will not see it :)
DeleteI agree, boat neck will always looks good with stripes.
Thank you :)
I like the sketch! I've been trying to do that too although my artistic skills are a bit lacking :) Nice top!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sketch is great exercise in between sewing isn't it ? and it makes our imagination run free :)
DeleteLovely top, Hana. The stripes are great. I do little flat sketches of some of my sewing too. I usually glue a little swatch of fabric to the page as well.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kathy.. I'd love to see your sketches one day :) Thank you and I love your striped top too :)
DeleteWonderful top Hannah-and super cute on you
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. Can not wait to see your next garment :)
DeleteWowza -- you have gift at matching stripes! Very lovely and it looks like it will get a lot of stylish wear.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind, Annie :) Those stripes was driving me crazy. Thank you :)
DeleteYou did a fine job of matching those stripes! Cute top! I like to sketch outfits too and staple a little swatch of fabric to it. Somehow it makes it easier to plan for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. Sketch is fun and I agree that it is a good way to plan our next project and stick on it :)
