How I Sewed my Very Basic Wrap Dress

Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed my very, very basic wrap dress. I am over the moon with how this has turned out, its so straightforward to make but yet the shape is super flattering. This is one design I know will be playing around with♥️♥️♥️ I hope that those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar enjoy and find the video useful. Susanne 💕

For those of you that prefer sewing from commercial patterns the Burda 6730 Wrap Dress was one of my favourites before I started drafting my own patterns. It’s not exactly the same as my version but it’s a good alternative👍

Stitch length used - 3mm paired with a size 70 sharps needle. The use of both in combination eliminates the need for a zig zag stitch - this was a fabulous tip left by a kind and generous subscriber.
