This turned out lovely! ♥️Great idea to use the side seam allowance as the tube for the ruching straps/ties! ✨⭐️

I never thought of it before either, and now I’m like “that’s absolute genius!” The project I’m working on requires having the drawstrings where I don’t have sim allowances, but this has definitely inspired me to make a drawstring dress or two for my next project. Thank you Isa.

I love this video ! I have a question though. If I didn’t want to make the ruching along the whole dress and just wanted to do it from the hip down instead, how would you recommend going about it ?

@isainstitches

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! You keep the seam allowance as such and you sew them on the entire length, but only insert the straps midway up to the waist (for instance) and sew them there instead of under the arm :)

Damn! You're so good❤Just gained a subscriber.

Question- you made the straight stitch (without backstitching) in order to mark where the hem would go? Then remove it? Is it a necessary step and if so why ?❤🙏😊

@isainstitches

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Absolutely not necessary. I could have taken a ruler and I drawn a line 2 cm from the edge (to respect the seam allowance which is 2 cm wide). I bet most people don't bother measuring to respect those 2 cm and fold just like that.

Jersey is best, 95% cotton, 5% spandex for instance, like my fabric. It's got to be stretchy, so spandex is a must.

How can this pattern be altered to make the dress minus the drawstrings?

Remove 1 cm off the outer edges of the pattern (there are 2 cm of seam allowances, if no drawstrings then we just want one). Then sew the sides with 1 cm of seam allowance. That's it!

Hi! Yes of course! Same as this dress: add some cm of seam allowance, enough to create channels for the drawstrings
