If you're wondering how much fabric you need for your sewing project, there are a few things to consider. The amount you'll need depends on your body measurements and the pattern of the fabric you're using. To avoid any issues with the print at the seams, you should take the size of the print into account and buy extra fabric to adjust it. If the print is large, you'll need more fabric than if it's small. However, small prints usually don't require any adjustments. If you're plus-sized, you may find that not all parts of the pattern fit within the fabric width. In that case, you should consider buying twice the length of the planned garment to ensure you have enough fabric. It's important to note that many fabrics have a standard width of 100 -145 cm depending on your country. However, you can't use the full fabric width because of holes in the edge from production and the fact that the print doesn't go all the way to the edge. Additionally, fabrics generally shrink between 5% and 10% after washing. To account for this, you should always wash your fabric before sewing and keep in mind that the usable width of a fabric may be less than the stated width. To give some example the usable width of a fabric of 140 cm may actually vary between 120-127 cm after shrinkage and subtracting the edge. For a fabric of 100 cm width, the usable width may vary between 84-92 cm. If you've already created your sewing pattern, you can easily determine how much fabric you'll need: You take a piece of paper of the size of the usable fabric width and arrange your cut pattern pieces on it. Afterwards you measure the length of the pieces and add flexibility for adjusting the print if necessary. If you haven't created your pattern yet, you can use a simple formula to determine how much fabric to buy based on your widest point (e.g. hips or chest) and add seam allowance, extra width for movement, and flexibility for weight changes. If this amount is greater than the usable fabric width, you'll need to buy twice the length of the planned piece. I hope this information is helpful for your sewing project!🙂
Such a lovely dress. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I say wonderful not only because you showed how to sew up the pattern but you showed how to draft the pattern from scratch. ❤
You have yourself a new subscriber! Thanks for the step-by-step process. I so enjoy drafting my own patterns but still struggle on doing it myself. This is great!
I love how this dress looks on you!! I am a little confused as to how the pieces were put together. Can you please make a video going in depth on how you cut the pieces and stitched them together with a cloth that has different looking patterns on the two sides. And can you also please include how we can make the same dress but without the sheering pattern and only the zip? Once gain I love this dress and how it turned out on you!!
Thanks a lot, sis. I was looking for someone who taught how to make the pattern as well (bc most of the yt people were just selling their patterns in the name of diy). Looking forward to more. ❤
@@oma950 hi 😊 i mean: i didn’t want the whole back bodice part to be gathered, so I divided the back piece in half as shown in the video. Then to create the gathering there needs to be 1,5 times more fabric -> added 50% more to the with of that piece. I don’t know if I‘m explaining it clearly, feel free to let me know 🤗
This is absolutely beautiful, Eva! Such a great video, and what a fantastic result! The fabric was well worth the pain it caused you, too, because it's lovely!
An awesome tutorial! I just don't get where the pattern at 7:15 comes from (it's not what has been created so far), and how you get the 4 pieces seen at 7:26 and 7:28 if you cut the front part down the slit line of the pattern used for the back. What I've finally come with is that the front part is cut twice: 1) just the curvy part cut at the slit line, and 2) the whole part seen at 7:15 which is the back piece plus another part to take into account the "missing" part (from slit line to the edge) of 1). In any case, I'll definitely try this out! Thanks so much!
Hi Stephanie, thank you for your comment ☺ So, for the back: I cut out two pieces that are the same (mirrored), don´t make the same mistake and leave seam allowance at the center seam 😉 For the front: I failed to say that i cut the paper pattern on fold to get a full front piece (not just half, as seen when I´m cutting the back pieces).Then I cut the pattern down the slit which gives me a 2/3 piece and a 1/3 piece, and i cut them out separately. I hope to have answered your question 🙂? I´m very new at this so I´m figuring out how to film and explain what I´m doing. Thank you for your question, it helps me get better in the future videos ❤
This is amazing.. You make sewing seems easy and fun. And i really like your detail explaination. Good work 🎉🎉 Pls make milk maid dress tutorial for beginners. Thanx Eva
Hello, i will sew a dress first time. Thanks for the courage that you have given to me :) Can you explain what kind of fabric did you used? Is it stretchy or viscose? Also i couldn't see how you placed the back straps and sew them.
Im so happy to read that 🥰courage is the most important element of the process 😁 The fabric I used was a mix of silk/cotton..but you can use viscose or cotton, anything that is thinner and flows nicely 🙂 I placed the straps in the back right at the seem between the gathered and the non-gathered panel. I just sewed them on from the inside- the stitches are visible from the outside, but you can barely see them in the print 🙂 I wish you good luck with your dress 🤗 🍀
Great work. I love, that you adjust the pattern to your bust, too, instead of only adjusting the length of the upper part. May I ask what kind of yarn you used for the shirring / what method you used for the shirring? Some people use flexible yarn for straight stitches, while others use rubber bands. I could not see that clearly in the video. 🙂
Thank You ☺ I use elastic thread in the bobbin, which I wind by hand. Then I set the the stitch length to maximum, in my case 5mm. I´m planning to make a dress whith a shirred top in one of my next videos, where i´ll go into it in more detail ☺
Thank you for great video and step by step tutorial❤ I would like to ask about skirt part and slit. Is there a dart on front panel which connects to slit panel? I dont quite understand that part. Thank you for your help!
Thank you 😊! I realise i need to go into more detail in future videos! When I was cutting the pattern down the slit line, i cut out the darts, and added seam allowance -> so that the part where the darts originally were, endet up being a little skewed. I hope this answeres your question 🙂 Don´t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Hi, thank you for your comment ☺ I bought the fabric in a random fabric store while travelling to Vietnam, so unfortunately i can´t link it 🥲It is a cotton and silk blend.

Please what do you mean by dividing the back part in half and extending the back part by 50%
