Hello! Today on Simply Saturday I’ll be sharing some of the steps I took in making a dress, which was my latest sewing project. (And you may remember I posted something about the making of the mock-up a couple of weeks ago. I’ll link to that here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Well, after finishing up that mock up and liking the result, I decided to make another one; this time using nicer fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I ended up purchasing some inexpensive cotton fabric from the quilting section at Joann’s. It was easy to work with, and didn’t really wrinkle, even after being stuffed in a backpack. I’m definitely planning on using more in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The next step was cutting out the bodice pieces. I actually marked out the seam allowances with chalk (since it’s not included in the pattern pieces I made) instead of just winging it like I did with the mock-up. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I then stitched up the bodice and back seams.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And then pressed those seams using my homemade tailor’s ham. The ironing really improves the look of these pieces at this stage of the process!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And here’s what one of those pieces looked like pinned onto the dress form.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And here’s another view of those pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I then stitched the shoulder seams.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And also stitched the side seams. All of these seams were pressed, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It’s a little hard to tell what’s going on in this photo, but this is all of the pieces of the bodice sewn together. I also had another piece identical to this one. I then sewed those two pieces together at the edges, so that I had a lined bodice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this post is pretty long, so I should probably stop now. Hopefully I’ll be able to post a second installment next week! ~ Emily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
