i made this-its great! bit of troubleshooting for anyone else, i found that to get the shirring done enough, i needed to use a really tight bobbin tension! maybe obvious but took me a while to work out!
love! i think next time you should try to film you sewing and stitching from an above angle so we can see what you’re doing better x definitely want to try this!
Thank you! I so agree, and since this video have started to incorporate that view. Maybe one day will get around to making a second version of this and do that too. Appreciate the feedback :) x x
oh no!! That's so annoying. There's a few variables like the type of fabric and how you wound the shirring thread onto the bobbin that might be why it's not working. Hard to give the right advice without seeing/knowing what went on during the process. Hopefully it works out for you and sorry I couldn't directly help!!! x x
This turned out great! The french seam took a minute to wrap my head around but looks nicely finished. I'm looking forward to making another top with this pattern. Thanks!
Start watching your video and love it learning a lot I love the way you don’t use the pattern and make it so simple I am from Canada thank you ,wondering where are you from ?
Love this proyect! Thank you very much for your videos!!! Will make it ASAP 😍, which tension and lenght stitch did you use to create that effect? And what are the measurements between each shirr line?
Hi! Im just a newbie here! Wanna ask if that time,u use the same machine for all the clothes u make?? And what brand and type it is?? I was thinking what machine should I buy hehe thank u
Hi! Im a newbie but i loved your video. One question though, the thread from the top (idk if it has a name) is it elastic too or just normal thread? Thank you so much!
haha sewing always gets me so excited! Not sure where you're located but I just got mine from this Australian craft shop - www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/haberdashery/bias-binding/birch-shirring-elastic/80233013?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI74jfmPKt4wIVgyQrCh0-dAgfEAYYAiABEgJqCvD_BwE - hope that helps! x
This is a great tutorial however i have tried to do this before and noticed that the shirred thread was to thick to fit on my sewing needle so what needle did you use? Thanks
The top thread one the machine (which goes through the needle) remains normal and the shirred thread just goes in the bobbin section so doesn't need to go through the needle :) Hope that helps x
Yep! That's why it's best to thread it by hand so you can control not stretching the elastic shirring thread as you wrap it onto the bobbin. Hope that helps!
If you follow the blog link in the video description that outlines all the essentials to make this including fabric amount. I'd suggest measuring how long you want the final piece to be and doubling that for the length off the fabric roll (with a tad extra for seam allowance). Eg if you want the final length to be 12inches get 26 inches off the roll. x
Thank you!! Can't wait to see how yours turns out when you give it a go. I just used a regular peddle, needle and main thread, then just replaced the bobbin thread with the Shirring Elastic. Easy as! x x
I pinned them in place on the inside of the top seams and then sewed across where the straps overlap on the main panel. I am working on a new and improved version of this tutorial with all the different camera angles and better outlined steps so hopefully that will help! Also the steps are written out here so might make a bit more sense maybe - theessentialsclub.com/blog-posts/shirred-crop
Unfortunately it needs to be an elastic thread to make sure it can fit tight but slip on still. The only other way to get the gathered effect would be to gather the normal thread but it wouldn't be as simple to get on unless you added a zip which doesn't really help with cost. I'm sorry I couldn't help with an alternative!
Oh no! It's hard to know what went wrong without seeing the process of you making it. A couple of questions, did you use Shirring thread in the bobbin and if so was it loosely wound on? And second if you did do those then sometimes it might be the type of material that doesn't cooperate when trying to shirr. Sorry I wasn't much direct help but hopefully that helps point you in the right direction for evolving next time. x
The Essentials Club thank you! I was using shirring thread. I think I wound it around the bobbin nicely! I used a lighter cotton fabric that wasn’t stretchy.
@@glamorousalivia is your stitch length set to the longest stitch? mine is set to 4 :) at first I had it set to 2 and it was too short which wasn't making the material gather at all!
Thanks so much for the enquiry! Unfortunately I don't make and sell any clothes at the moment as it's a bit tough to fit inbetween work. Maybe it's worth asking around to see if anyone you know can sew one for you? x
Agreed! This was my first attempt of filming a DIY vid and since have started to show other angles. Hoping to remake this one and show the close ups to make it more clearer. Thanks! x

Start watching your video and love it learning a lot I love the way you don’t use the pattern and make it so simple I am from Canada thank you ,wondering where are you from ?
Love it!! How do you sew your straps so it's secure? And where was your placement?
Love your channel!! And my daughter too...☺️ love from The Netherlands
Thank you!! This means so much to me :) Can't wait to see what you create x x
Did you use the shirred elastic in both the top and bottom bobbins or just the bottom??
Love this proyect! Thank you very much for your videos!!! Will make it ASAP 😍, which tension and lenght stitch did you use to create that effect? And what are the measurements between each shirr line?
Wondering this too! Thanks for making this tutorial
Love it, very nice! I have to try this
Hi! Im just a newbie here! Wanna ask if that time,u use the same machine for all the clothes u make?? And what brand and type it is?? I was thinking what machine should I buy hehe thank u
Fantastic tutorial! Just what I was looking for!
Excellent DIY! Thank you for sharing us, greetings from Chile! =)
Hi,can i use chiffon fabric in sewing smocking dress thank u so much
Do a vídeo from cami top with tie sleeves!! Pls
I’m definitely gonna make this :))
Hey, I love your channel what type of sewing machine do you use?
Hi! Im a newbie but i loved your video. One question though, the thread from the top (idk if it has a name) is it elastic too or just normal thread? Thank you so much!
Hi, I hope I can help. So the thread on the top of the machine is regular and the one that's in the bobbin is the elastic one.
This is soooo adorb love how excited you are!!! What size elastic thread did you use ? Xxxxx
haha sewing always gets me so excited! Not sure where you're located but I just got mine from this Australian craft shop - www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/haberdashery/bias-binding/birch-shirring-elastic/80233013?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI74jfmPKt4wIVgyQrCh0-dAgfEAYYAiABEgJqCvD_BwE - hope that helps! x
Hey, I have a question. What can I do, when the shirring thread doesn´t hold, because the other thread is to lose?
this is exactly what i wanted to make and it looks so cute! thank you :)
Yay! My absolute pleasure x
I love it.. but I have to watch this again for maybe another 58 times.. 😊
Hola el hilo que usas para que. Se aga haci arrugado to es elástico?
This is a great tutorial however i have tried to do this before and noticed that the shirred thread was to thick to fit on my sewing needle so what needle did you use? Thanks
The top thread one the machine (which goes through the needle) remains normal and the shirred thread just goes in the bobbin section so doesn't need to go through the needle :)
Hope that helps x
You only use elastic thread on the bobbin. The top is your regular thread. It works great.
Do you prewash your fabric?
What fabric did you use? Thank you!
Can we do this with mini sewing machine ?
Me he suscrito aún así no la entienda casi nada, solo porque hace bonitos diseños. 🙂👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼🇵🇪
Oh you're too kind! Thank you so much x x x
Do I have to have to panels to create the front and back pieces or could I just use one long fabric and sew it into a tube?
Yeah that could definitely work! Just means you'll have one seam which you could either place to the side or maybe centre down the back :)
I love this !!!!!
Thank you so much :) x x
Hi what kind of fabric your using
So pretty.
Too kind! Thank you x x
Genial!💕
Thank you!! x
what kind of stitching do you do. Just regular or zig zag to keep some stretch?
I've only ever used a regular stitch when shirring and think that's the ideal setup :)
Lovely top, brilliant 👍🏻
Thank you! x
DEFS WANT TO TRY THIS
It's such a fun make! And an easy go-to to add to the wardrobe :)
Can't wait to see how yours turns out x x
Good job! Why didn’t you just do a French seam? Or Felled seam?
Thank you! And great feedback. Will definitely incorporate that into my future tutorials to keep it all nice and clean :)
HEY, IT'S AMAZING I LOVE IT , PLEASE COULD YOU PUT IT SPANISH SUBTITLES.
So u dont stretch the garter thread when putting it in bobbin?
Yep! That's why it's best to thread it by hand so you can control not stretching the elastic shirring thread as you wrap it onto the bobbin. Hope that helps!
How much fabric did you use approximately? How much should I buy?
If you follow the blog link in the video description that outlines all the essentials to make this including fabric amount. I'd suggest measuring how long you want the final piece to be and doubling that for the length off the fabric roll (with a tad extra for seam allowance). Eg if you want the final length to be 12inches get 26 inches off the roll. x
What needle, peddle foot and thread do you use along side the shirring thread? xx
Also, amazing video! Thankyou 💕💕
Thank you!! Can't wait to see how yours turns out when you give it a go. I just used a regular peddle, needle and main thread, then just replaced the bobbin thread with the Shirring Elastic. Easy as! x x
I didn't understand how she put the straps... Can someone explain me?
I pinned them in place on the inside of the top seams and then sewed across where the straps overlap on the main panel.

@@TheEssentialsClub thanks!
Like I'm kinda sad BC I'm flat I can't do anything about it:(
Will this not work w regular thread? I cant. Rlly afford any elastc thread
Unfortunately it needs to be an elastic thread to make sure it can fit tight but slip on still. The only other way to get the gathered effect would be to gather the normal thread but it wouldn't be as simple to get on unless you added a zip which doesn't really help with cost.

Thanks so much for the help! I definitely want to try this, perhaps when i earn a bit more money! :) this is so cute!
😍😍😍😍
Could you write the measure in cm? Please ❤️✨ i love your Channel
help, mine just looks like a bunch of straight stitches, and there is no scrunch

It would be better if you filmed some close ups
Agreed! This was my first attempt of filming a DIY vid and since have started to show other angles. Hoping to remake this one and show the close ups to make it more clearer. Thanks! x
