    Cute dress.
    So here's a quick gathering tip: take a roll of fishing line and zigzag over it using a big stitch. Pull the fishing line until you get the gathers you want. Secure the gathers then but the fishing line. Perfect gathers every time! And you don't have to worry about breaking the gathering "thread".

      Even without fishing line, a wide zigzag with sturdy thread, and pulling the bobbin thread is a good method.

  • @karenhess619
    @karenhess619 Před rokem

    I did something similar to make a "house dress" to wear in the hot summer days of over 100 degrees. Cut off short sleeves to make sleeveless, cut collar off on men's shirt and then cut further to make a V-neck. I learned to make sure the men's shirts button in same direction for top and bottom pcs. Obviously, I made it longer, and in the 2nd one used some cotton fabric I had in my stash to do that. It is so hard to find these classic "house dresses" at retail and if you do find them they are not designed for super hot days at any reasonable price. Men's cotton shirts to the rescue!!!!

    Another hint on gathers I stop and start my gathering threads at the seams. Its too hard to pull across a seam. You can do as in other comments zig zag over another stronger cord. I have also made two gathering stitches then you sew seam inbetween those two. It stops those folded in puckers at the seamline. Being older and hippier I like my waist about an inch above waist or gathers and loose materials hang up on my wedge butt. Or I make an empire waistline and attach with elastic casing by making an 1-1/2" seam allowance I fold over.

    • @BlueprintDIY

    They had a massive selection you could spend a whole day there.
    They only allow some people to pick and choose as they are really exporting mostly. but They also do events , thrift factory £10 per kilo
    You need a strong back to go through the clothes as mostly in cages and Trollies.
    But it was worth it as many where (Brands) New with Tags are available.

    This is really cute and would look great with knit leggings... Unless you're a "pear" and should avoid horizontal lines on the widest point (which can you look as wide as a barn) in favor of horizontal lines on or near your narrowest point (to give a timeless "hourglass" silhouette.) A peplum top version would be much better for a "pear."
