Heyhey,

how is your weekend going?

Here are the first sewing steps for dress #122 of burda 4/15. You can find the tutorials about the pattern and cutting here: pattern, cutting.

 

 

first I pinned my darts in the back

and the front

I also pinned the ribbons that will close the dress, (I made the mistake of cutting each twice, but well… that means I have a back-up)

then I pinned the inner-arm seam

also pinned the collar parts on top of each other

and the facing parts

sewed and overlocked the inner sleeve seam and overlocked the seam allowances of the other sleeve seam

sewed and overlocked the facings

sewed the back darts and ironed them to the middle

sewed the front darts and ironed them to the side, thats the way I learned it, when I first started, you can do it differently, but right and left of front and back should always be mirror-images

sewed the collar

cut the seam allowance back at the corner

ironed the seam allowance apart

cut the seam allowance a little more

then turned the right side out and ironed it again

sewed my ribbons

then turned right side out

with both ribbons

and ironed them the seam in one of the folds

Well thats how far I got until now, if you have any questions about this do not hesitate to ask. I’ll show you the next steps I am taking next week. Its supposed to get summary warm here in the next week, so I could use some new dresses 😉

keep sewing and smiling
