Girl’s Flutter Sleeve Dress Or Top Sewing Tutorial & Free Pattern In 4T
Printed out the pattern I found on line
and taped it together
Dresses all required:
2 sleeve pieces, both on the fold,
and two dress pieces, again both on the fold.
On some sleeves I decided to add trim,
others I did not,,,
I sewed them together facing each other and then flipped out, pressed and stitched open.
I did the same on pockets
I sewed the seams in place after
I had added the pocket to the front...
(It wasn't on the pattern, but I knew my girls
would want one)
I sewed the sleeves to under arm curve of dress after clipping right sides together
I added bias tape to sandwich the seam.
I then sewed under the arm
manipulating the bias tape in place
Next up... I added the bias tape to the neckline
(on back) to making a casing for elastic.
The elastic was already joined and
I then sewed it inside the bias tape
stretching as I went, avoiding catching the elastic.
All that remained was the hem!
8 more to go...
Woohoo my girls dresses are complete!
