ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- If you're a new beginner, this tutorial will provide great practice for sewing a simple dress with only 1 seam. We're sewing an Easy 1-Seam Dress for new beginners. If you know how to sew a straight seam, you should be able to follow along and complete this cute strapless dress. I'm walking you through all the details, step-by-step, with lots of details. You will love this SEW ALONG.
Wear it as a house dress, swimsuit coverup, date night, or whatever you desire. Wear it with a shrug on cooler days.
When purchasing fabric, use your bust measurement plus extra to account for shrinkage during pre-treating in the wash.

Thank you so much Anita! I saw this fabric at Joann’s fabric store today and I said to my higher self. Self, you can sew this ( knowing I never sewed touched a sewing machine before 😂) but you made it so simple ❤. I’ve always wanted to sew. So here I come! Thank you Jesus!
Yeeeesssss!!! I was cracking up when you talked to yourself. 😂 We can totally be friends because I do the same thing. I'm so glad you watched the video. Have fun sewing your dress.
I love watching your videos and I love Jesus!
Yeeesss!!! 🤗🙌🏽 And I love having you here.
I love the shirt you're wearing ❤
Thank you 💕
I saw that fabric while shopping for quilt fabric and couldn’t believe it. Thank you for your wonderful tutorial on making that dress. I’ve never thought of wearing it as a house dress since It’s not appropriate for me to wear outside at my age. I definitely going to make one, maybe two. .
I love the saying on your T-shirt! I pray every time before I sew, or make crafts. I pray that I’ll remain focused, not make any major mistakes, and that I’ll have patience.
This is the best tutorial for this type of dress I have found. Thank you for sharing this! Since I wanted to be able to wear a regular bra with my dress, I added 1.5” wide straps to mine using leftover fabric with some added lightweight fusible interfacing. I also added bra strap keepers that snap under my bra straps at the shoulder so that the dress and bra straps stay together. Love my new summer dress!
Wonderful! Love your additions.
Back in the late '70s, my first job was working in a large fabric store in SoCal. We carried this same type of shirred fabric in several floral stretch polyester prints. We referred to the fabric as "Insta-Dress" material, for obvious reasons. It was very popular with the ladies back then. It didn't come folded on standard rectangular bolts, but unfolded on long, round tubes. Beautiful makes, Anita!
Oh wow! That's interesting information. I LOVE learning about sewing industry practices and products from the past. Thank you for sharing.
This is beautiful!! Inserting pockets would be great. I can't wait to sew this dress. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Yes, pockets would be awesome.
Excellent tutorial! My 10 year old daughter loves to sew, and has mainly focused on bags. However, she found these dresses and really wanted to make one. Your tutorial helped her so much! The dress she made is beautiful and she was able to use the leftover fabric to make straps for the dress to make it more appropriate for her age. Thanks so much
Oh my goodness! This blesses my heart. Tell her I said Congratulations!
Even though I've been sewing for over 40 years I always enjoy your tutorials. You are an excellent teacher. Love the dresses.
Thank you so much for your comment. It makes my heart sing when I hear this from seasoned sewists. 💕
I absolutely love your sewing tutorials!! You are very thorough and I learn a lot.
Thank you so much!
I love your shirt !!! GLORY BE TO JESUS-CHRIST !! And thank you for the tutorial ❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you, Ms Anita for walking us through this project. You are a God-send! Before I went to your site, I had previously purchased 3 shirred pre-cut dresses from Joann's. One has arrived --2 others are enroute. The finished product will be MUCH more professional with your tutorial -- than what I was intending. God bless you and your sewing business❤
So beautiful Sis. I just love you and God's hand is surely upon your life
Ooohhh, I love you too, sis! You just made my heart smile. Thank you. 💕
I wore this stuff all the time during the 70’s as a kid!
Perfect!
Thank you so much for your content! You have provided a project for me and my 13 yr old to bond over. I am also signing up got your classes!
Oh, that makes my heart smile. Enjoy your bonding time with your 13 year old. 💕💕💕
I never knew this one fabric piece! I thought it was the top (bodice) fabric and the bottom sewn together. Definitely making one for an upcoming vacay!
Hey Anita!
You will teach all the beginners all the best sewing instructions! God bless you!
This was great. Thank you
So cute and easy. Thank you Anita
I love that. A so along is what I like,helps me to get motivated
I love the strapless bra from third love. I’ve never had a strapless bra that fits so well!
Like the 3 mats together idea.
This is a really nicely paced tutorial.
Some of the sewing teachers I follow gave up on finding comfortable bust support in stores, and started sewing red threaded patterns, or diy corded stays.
The dress is so pretty
I love those dresses and the ease of putting them together.
I love your t shirt!!
Loved your video!
Amen!
So pretty, going to make this for my granddaughter. Tutorial is great! Thank you
I saw that fabric at JoAnne’s the other day. I will have to take my coupons and go buy me some. I wore sundresses like this as a child. Thank you.
That looks really easy.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I loved your tutorial. It was so helpful and I’m going to make one for two of my daughters. PS I want your shirt too.
Thanks so much 😊 Have fun making the dresses for your daughters. The t-shirts are no longer available. I closed my merch store last year.
Thanks Anita I love that dress
You're very welcome.
Great project. Thank you Anita
You are so welcome
I really enjoyed this tutorial. I love Jesus! I love you too Mrs. Anita, I have been following you for about 3 or 4 years, it may be more. I always give beginners your information and I tell about you and tmyour style of teaching.
Oh may goodness! Thank you so much! I love you too and I really appreciate you for being here and sharing with others. Have a beautiful weekend. 💕💕💕
@@AnitabyDesign Thank you, likewise.
Perfect! Thank You So Very Much! I wish I would have found this a few weeks ago as I started exactly this without much direction. I see a better way here for sure & will follow you on my next one for sure! Beautiful process & instruction was as I said perfect! 🥰
Thank you so much. I purchased a sewing machine last year for Christmas and just took it out the box yesterday. You videos are amazing and very easy to follow.
Fun video Anita!
Thank you!💕
Beautiful, simplistic dress. It would be nice to show using the same dress (for a little more advanced sewers or as they become more skilled) how to add a side pocket, or a staps, or embellish the hem with a border; simple little add on tips to take a dress from here....to here. Just a thought.
Love watching all your videos.
Oh, I’m so glad you like my videos. Thank you.💕
Hi Anita I enjoyed the sew along and would love to see more. Have a blessed evening
Good video. Learned how to do the project I wanted to do.
Thanks for such a detailed tutorial. I saw this fabric at JoAnn, but didn't know if I could make a dress. You have given me the confidence to give it a try.
Love Your channel and YOUR SHIRT!!! Your shirt is exactly my heart!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I'm glad you hear that you're enjoying the channel. Yeeesss! JESUS & a Sewing Machine! 🙌🏾
That dress looks amazing on you! I've seen that fabric in my local fabric store and wondered what the finished dress would look like.
Hi Anita! Joann's came out with the smocked fabric and I'm so glad you did this video! You are such an excellent teacher! I'm a beginner to sewing clothes and I bought some of this fabric for my granddaughter and myself.

Your videos are lovely and so enjoyable to watch. I love the way you clearly show what’s being done with the fabric as you verbally explain the steps. Right now, I sadly don’t have much time for sewing (I’ve got two toddlers and I’m pregnant with #3) but I’m hoping that maybe someday soon I can dive back in. In the meantime - always happy to watch 😊

Excellent video. Thank you! I was just at Joann's and saw the bolts of the smocked fabric (they were on sale!). However, I could not figure out how much to buy to make a dress. I found your video. Now, I must go back and buy some fabric. Wonderful.

I happened upon your video and enjoyed the step by step instructions. I will have to give this dress making a try.

You're very welcome. I've been ignoring pre-smocked fabric for years. Never wanted to try it until I saw these colors.
