That's JoAnn's standard woven interfacing, and you can get it precut in packages, by the yard, and I'm sure by the bolt as well. I try to only get it when it's on special. It's also available with WAWAK, for a good price, and probably bulk amounts. 👍Don't know if you can get it shipped there.....🤞 I AM sewing while listening to you 😁 and congratulations on your new subscriber mark!!

Sorry to bombard you Diana!, but if the paper pattern is too small in the waist and hips just measure the difference between the other sizes and that will give you the grade difference and you can then add that to your pattern - if that makes sense! A curved ruler will let you grade between say 22 to whatever!! It will work! Trust the process!, 😊😊😊

Diana, don’t attach a modesty panel to the lining - it will just move about and annoy you! When you’ve done your first toile bodice decide how much higher to make the v neck and then trace off the front bodice pattern and raise the v - because it’s lined, you won’t even have to worry about redrafting the facing - you can just cut the main and lining bodice patterns and it will work perfectly! Btw, the yellow spot will look great in the design!! Love your videos! 😊

Hi Diana, check out the Eva dress from Tessuti - perfect for linen! I’ve made 3 - the first 2 as easy wear dresses (I slashed out a lot of the skirt width) but the 3rd I made up as pattern in a great cotton batik and it’s amazing! BUT I did do an FBA with dart so as to make the bodice quite fitted. Really great wearable dress!

Interfacing tip (I have made backpacks) interfacing is a discretional item. A great substitute for interfacing for denim is denim. Fusible interfacing is a relatively new thing. I have used foam for comfort areas, fusible for finicky areas where shifting is a problem, doubled interfacing on occadion, and self fabric or even layers with machine pad stitching

I buy a SIM card for my phone as soon as I enter a new country. It’s as high as $30 for a month but a safety issue, for sure. Nice dress, by the way. I love Cashmerette. Your bodice is a little big . Increase the dart, maybe take 1/2 inch off of the length. Remember different fabrics fit differently with the same pattern. That linen will have no give. So, perhaps, it will fit? It’s always a of an adventure.

Would it be possible to use the skirt from the Upton dress with the bodice of the Simplicity dress? Otherwise, the simplicity dress really looks like it should be in a floatier fabric.I think the fabric lends itself more to the Upton, particularly in the skirt..
@bethrule908518 күн бұрын
I like the Simplicity dress better on you (neckline, sleeves, fit of bodice, skirt) and feel that you gave the answer in your presentation (happier comments). Super positive to not put in a zipper. Easier and more comfortable to wear with the pullover design. More importantly, no risk of a wardrobe malfunction with a zipper that breaks! Is your pink linen fabric as light as your pink, flowery fabric? Linen can be so comfortable. Be careful when cutting out the pattern to be certain to not have the motifs at the side seams in the skirt so that you don't have to match the motif patterns. (Congratulations to Casey!)
