Thank you for your helpful video! I have many Love Notions patterns, but wasn't interested in the Saltwhistle until I saw your versions. Now I have the pattern and want to sew it asap. If I were to line the bodice, but make the sleeveless version of the dress, could I use the same method (as used for the neckline) for the armsyces -- sew together, understitch, etc?
@LoveNotions thank you. I had raw edges from the skirt panel so I tucked them between the bodice and lining and sewed them together. Then just stitched the elastic on the inside seam. Not the best but it worked. I'm just learning how to make dresses without raw edges. I don't have a serger.
There are many different ways to do it! Similarly to what you did, you could also sew the casing about an inch from the hem of the bodice, then proceed like you did, leaving an opening, insert your elastic into that and then close. That might give you a slightly cleaner finish if you don't want the elastic exposed on the inside. Does that make sense? ~J
Great video and very timely. I heard you perfect by the way 🙂
Yay! Thank you! ~K
Thank you very much. I was wanting to see how sleeves are treated on a lined bodice. Your video answered all my concerns. Thank you again.
So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! ~J
This so helpful and clear to understand. Thank you! I’m planning to line my tempo dress bodice. 🌹
Oh how lovely! Happy sewing! ~K
Thank you for this clear and helpful tutorial. I love your teaching videos and hacks.
Yay! Thanks so much for watching! Katie's videos are awesome! ~K
Enjoyed your video! Your pivot points on the square neckline turned out beautifully.
Thank you so much for watching! Happy you enjoyed! ~K
Your volume is coming in clear.
Very clear tutorial. I love to line my dresses! The audio was okay.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! 🙂 Happy you found the tutorial clear and helpful! ~K
Wonderful job Katie! I love this.💕
Glad you liked it!! ~K
Thank you so much , very helpful
Glad it was helpful! ~K
Thank you!! I really needed this.. I wish you had shown putting on the sleeves too!! Yes, I'm getting greedy huh? "😁
Glad you found it helpful! You can just treat the lines bodice as one piece when you add the sleeve, easy Peasy. 😊 ~J

So glad it was helpful. Maybe if lining the sleeveless version, you'd want to try the burrito method for a super clean finish. ~K
Good idea. Thank you! @@LoveNotions
Great tutorial! Thank you :)
You're very welcome, thanks for stopping by! ~J
How did u do the casing for elastic?
I have a guess but asked Katie how she did it. Will let ya know once I hear back! ~J
Okay, from Katie: "I just did it just like the instructions, treating the lined bodice as one"

I need to know how you added the sleeves.
The lining and bodice is treated as one piece, so the sleeves are added as normal. Easy peasy! ~J
You are far away from the audio, hard to hear you even with the volume turned up all the way.
