summer frock – tutorial + pattern I’ve had a quite a few requests for this tutorial. I hope you use it + enjoy it. This dress is made to have neither a front nor a back. It is also made to go over the head, one arm at a time. Lets get started. Buy the pattern piece right here in my shop. Print pattern. Supplies needed: -skirt fabric -bodice fabric -bodice lining fabric -fishing wire -scissors Start by cutting 2 bodice pieces + 2 bodice lining pieces. Stitch the neckline of the bodice. Then stitch the armholes about 1/2 way up. Turn each piece. Press the neckline flat. Then press the armhole flat. Including the length of the armhole that is not stitched. Your two bodice pieces should now look like this. Lay your two pieces, right sides together. Take the top edge of each bodice + pin flush. Like so. Now using a 1/4 inch seam, stitch the two pieces together, on both sides. This will leave you with a small hole that we will deal with in just a bit. Time to stitch the sides. Again put right sides together. Pull up the lining on each side + pin. Using a 1/4 inch seam, stitch your sides. Be sure to only get the sides of the bodice when you sew, nothing else. Time to iron the armholes. Push the fabric back into the hole, following your original pressed lines. And iron flat. Press your seams flat on the sides, Turn down + press the sides. Your bodice should now look like this. Everything should be pressed nice + flat. Top-stitch the neckline using an 1/8 inch stitch. Nice + close to the edge. Now top-stitch the armholes, again using an 1/8 inch stitch. You just made a bodice + a fine one, I’m sure. Now make the skirt. For the length, I measured from right underneath the breast bone to the knee. I also used the edge of a pillowcase for skirt, so finishing the hem was unnecessary. You can follow the directions on the elastic waist tutorial for finishing an hem. Additionally, I used a french seam on the skirt, tutorial for french seam here. To create the gathers in the waist I used the fishing wire technique. Using a zigzag stitch, stitch the fishing wire to the top of the skirt. Like so. Now time for assembly. Start with your skirt piece + bodice piece RIGHT side out. Pull up the bottom part of the bodice. Then turn the bodice inside out. Then upside down. Slide your bodice piece into your skirt piece. Pin bodice to skirt. Make sure to have about equal lengths of fabric between each pin. Then pull your fishing wire loose ends tight to gather the skirt. Using an 1/2 inch seam, stitch along the top edge. You should have something similar to this. Now, pull the the bodice up out of the skirt. Lay bodice flat. See how your raw edge is completely enclosed within the bodice? Perfect! Turn the dress inside out + press your back seam, making sure the raw edge is going up into the bodice. Then turn your dress right side out + turn the outside edge of your bodice under about 1/4 inch. Press flat. Using 1/8 inch, stitch the top bodice to the skirt Now go forth + enjoy summer.

I created a simple shift dress pattern to raise money and awareness for Dressember. Women wear dresses for the month of December and people sponsor them. The money raised goes to fight human trafficking. Since the garment industry is such a huge contributor to the exploitation of women and children, this fits really well. A person is behind every seam of the clothes we wear, and it's usually a woman. Our care in purchasing clothes responsibly is a way to show that we value that person. It's bigger than a dress.

I've been admiring kimono cardigans online for weeks now, and wanting to add at least one to my wardrobe. (I'm using the term "...
A couple of days ago, I clicked through to a tutorial about all-in-one facings on Crafterhours. Although I knew how I line a bodice, I'm always interested in how other people do things. And it turns out we do it differently! After a very pleasant exchange of emails and ideas, I was encouraged to share my way of doing it so here we go... By fully lining a bodice, not only is it a neater finish and a way of hiding your seams but it's possible to encorporate it a fully reversible dress. Personally, I find it quicker than facings or bindings. This method of works if your back piece has a centre seam that makes it two pieces (so you can put in a zipper or a slit or a button placket). If you have a single front and back piece, this is not the way for you... You will have a front bodice and two back bodice pieces, and identical pieces cut out of your lining. Sew the shoulder seams like so: Repeat for lining pieces. Right sides facing, place the shell bodice on top of the lining bodice, match up all the edges and pin in place. Sew them together along the neck curve and armhole curve. In this picture, I am making a slit with a button so I've also sewn partially down the centre back seam. Don't do this if you're not making a slit! Clip into the seam allowances around the neck and arm curves so they can be pressed flatter. Push each side of the bodice right side out through the front bottom hole. Manipulate with your fingers so all seams lie flat and corners are sharp. Press into position with the iron. Bring one of your back pieces down onto the front piece, matching up the four raw edges from the armpit down to where the bodice ends. It should be a sandwich of shell, lining, lining, shell. Right sides facing, pinch the two bottom corners of lining together, leaving the two shell pieces hanging loose (I've flipped a shell piece up so you can see better). Pull the shell corners up (rigth sides facing) and pin along both raw edges, up and over the seam line where the fabric changes (pic on right below). Right sides facing, you have now pinned together lining to lining, shell to shell. Stitch along this edge. While you are stitching, pull and manipulate the fabric so it is a straight line. Clip into seam allowance where the two fabrics meet, and then flip it open again and your side seam is created. Press in place. Repeat this process for the other side seams of the bodice, and you will have this: If you're doing a slit and button closure (as I am in these pictures), repeat the same process as you did to the side seams to the centre back seam.You're done! Now you have a nice and neat fully lined bodice. Pin It Tweet

Hi All! This week I finally got back into the swing of things, sewing-wise, and made my very first Emery Dress - finally! I've been saying I was going to do it since it was released last fall! However, I'm glad I waited until after I learned a bit more about fitting. I did have to make several changes to the bodice, although the original form was passable. But that's why we sew, right? Or at least that's one of the reasons - to have a well-fitting garment. I'm going to talk about my fitting changes in a separate post, since they may be helpful to some of you. None of the changes I made were difficult to do, and many of them were changes I've learned I need on pretty much any pattern. But there were some surprises in there. I'm also not going to show you any pictures today of me wearing the dress, as I've just gotten back from a very long walk and don't quite have the energy to take photos! Here it is on a hanger though: I'm very happy with it :-) I got several questions on Instagram about whether or not the fabric is vintage. It is in fact quilting cotton! I believe this print is no longer being produced, but it is called "Boxed Dozen" by Martha Negley. I'd been in love with it for quite a while, and when I came across it on clearance last year on Fabric.com, I immediately bought 4 yards. Instead, today I thought I'd share how I did the lining on my sleeveless dress. I did a little google search and couldn't find any tutorials (on the first couple pages) for lining a sleeveless dress to the edge - most of what I saw was bias binding for the armholes. I'm not a big fan of bias binding, looks-wise; I much prefer pieces that are lined to the edge. But I can never remember how to do it and always have to look it up! So as I was making this dress, I made sure to take pictures of each step to share with you and as a reference to myself in the future. Because I think there will be many more sleeveless Emery dresses in my future :-) Lining to the Edge on a Sleeveless Bodice 1. Cut out your outer and lining bodice pieces, front and back. Stay-stitch the necklines on all these pieces, as per the pattern instructions, and then sew and press the darts. 2. Sew the backs to the fronts on both the outer and lining pieces at the shoulder seams. Press these open, and trim the lining shoulder seams in half. 3. With right sides together, sew the lining to the outer at the neckline, starting and stopping 1.25" from the edge. I made a little mark at these positions to make it easier on myself. *EDITED TO ADD: After I made my second Emery bodice, I decided to try understitching the entire neckline at this point, after trimming and clipping the curves, but before sewing up the armholes. Worked great! I didn't do it that way the first time because I was following the directions from the lining book. 4. Starting and stopping at the armhole curves, trim 1/8" off the edge of the armhole on the lining piece only, making it slightly narrower than the outer bodice. They will look like this: 5. Pull the edge of the lining over to match up with the edge of the outer, then sew the armhole seams. 6. Grade the armhole and neckline seams, then clip the curves. However, make sure not to cut away any of the neckline seam at the 1.25" you left unsewn - you'll need it to be there when you install the zipper. 7. Now turn the lined bodice right side out, pulling the back through the shoulder to the front: 8. Once the whole bodice has been turned right side out, give everything a nice press, making sure that the lining is pulled to the inside a bit. This will be really easy to do at the armhole edges, since a bit of extra was trimmed away. It will look like this - just a scant 1/16" of outer fabric showing: Here's the whole bodice so far, pressed and ready to go on: 9. Now, pin the lining side seams and outer side seams right sides together. Sew this as one long, continuous seam: Make sure to have the armhole seam allowance folded towards the outer side, like so: Press these seams open. Now you have a bodice that is completely constructed and lined to the edge, but open at the center back for the zipper installation. 10. Assemble the skirt as per the instructions. Then attach the skirt to the outer bodice only, keeping the lining pulled up out of the way: 11. Finish the entire center back edge on both sides - I like to serge these edges. Still keeping the lining pulled out of the way, install the back zipper as per the instructions. The 1.25" opening you left at the neckline will make this easy to do. Once the zipper is in, you can finish sewing that last 1.25" of the neck seam. 12. Press up the waist edge of the lining 5/8" to prepare for attaching it to the waist. Then flip the lining piece to the outside of the bodice so that the right sides are together. Line up the center back edges and sew the lining to the zipper tape using a regular zipper foot. Note: you don't finish the center back edge of the lining, because you want to minimize bulk here. 13. Trim the corner, and also the remainder of the neckline (not shown here), then turn out the dress to the right side. Give everything a good press, then sew the waist edge of the lining to the waist seam of the dress by hand (or if you prefer, by stitching in the ditch from the right side). Now all you've got left to do is to hem the dress! You shouldn't need to do any understitching, as the trimmed armhole on the lining should keep the lining from peeking out. If you want a little insurance understitching at the neckline, you can do this before closing up the lining in step 13. You won't be able to understitch the whole neckline, but you should be able to do most of the front. Or, you could understitch later by hand if you enjoy doing that - I sometimes do. I'm very happy with the finish I got using this method, which I learned from Connie Long's Easy Guide to Sewing Linings. I hope this will be helpful to some of you too!
