Heyhey,

this week is somehow a little chaotic, but I did not forget my tutorials and (2 days late) here are the next steps for the hippie dress #122 burda 6/15. The first steps can be found here: pattern, cutting

 

I started with sewing between the markings with very wide stitching

and ruffled

then checked the measurement, the pattern suggested

now I cut 2cm wide stripes of the leftover fabric, I used the unprinted sides

then I pinned a fabric-strip to the ruffles, and did that to both back-parts and both front parts, then sewed the strips onto the ruffles

next I pinned the centre back seam, carefully matching the print at the parts where it is not ruffled

and the side parts to the front side seam: marking to marking

also pinned the shoulder seams of the facings

and I pinned the sleeve-seams

then sewed the pinned seams with the stretch-stitch of my sewing machine.

at the side parts

I cut into the front part until that last stitch

and pinned the sleeve part of the front to the side part

looks like this

also sewed my sleeve seams and shoulder seams

when I sewed that end of the side part on I was careful that the seams start and end in the same point, so there will not be any holes

then I pinned the side part marking to marking onto the back part

and the whole side seam down, then sewed the side seams

cut into the back part and pinned the rest of the side seam and sewed

my dress so far, still open in the front.

Do you have any questions about this so far? Do not hesitate to ask!

Next week I will do the facing and close the centre front.

Do you like my fabric? You can get your own here. There are also more color options.

keep sewing and smiling
