- Learn how to make a DIY wrap dress without a pattern in my latest sewing tutorial - it features a flowy high low hem and spaghetti straps plus it’s made with stretchy fabric so it’s so comfortable to wear. This is going to be a great project for those of you who have some experience sewing and making clothes and are ready to try something more involved than most of my previous tutorials!
Check out a list of my favorite sewing supplies I use in my videos on my Amazon Storefront: www.amazon.com... *
*****
MATERIALS NEEDED:
-At least 3 yards of a four way stretch knit fabric (if you want a longer length skirt or larger size I’d suggest getting extra to be on the safe side). I used ITY knit fabric which came from LA Finch Fabrics.
-A fitted spaghetti strap tank top for a template
-A sewing machine. I used the Singer Talent 3321 in this video: amzn.to/3794XNx *
-Ball point needles. These are my favorites: amzn.to/2GTcuqg *
-Scissors. These are an affordable set I’ve used for years: amzn.to/2NMnZBl *
-Tape Measure
-Pins
-Thread. This is my favorite brand: amzn.to/38cAxvh *
-Walking foot (optional): you only need one if you prefer sewing knits with one… this is the one I have for my Singer machines: amzn.to/2NkhoxP *

Thank you so much for watching this tutorial! I’ve been so inspired by all the flowy wrap dresses I’ve been seeing lately and I’m really happy with the way the dress turned out. It was fun doing something a little more involved and time consuming than many of my other tutorials, so I think this will be a good tutorial for people who have had some experience sewing stretch knit fabric and have an understanding of clothing construction. This dress would be perfect for summer adventures, date nights, or even a great wedding guest dress, and I always think the wrap dress silhouette works great on all shapes, from petite to plus size. If you're looking for more easy sewing tutorials, I have loads of beginner sewing projects planned!
Happy sewing!!!
XO,
Monika
Hey! I’m back and squeezing in any summer sewing I can while it’s still warm! It was fun making a more involved sewing tutorial than usual but I am planning some more simple tutorials coming up next 😃 And even though I don’t want to accept it, fall will be coming soon... what are some projects you’re looking forward to making for the cooler months?
Comicat Creations this is gorgeous Monika! Awesome tutorial. I'm still making summer stuff, but I am looking forward to making some sweater dresses and maybe a bomber jacket dress😎 come Fall.
Comicat Creations Hi! Can you make a tutorial on a Stylish blazer please!!!😁🦋
Thank you so much Rikki! Ohh that bomber jacket dress sounds awesome! I'd love to see a picture when it's done!! I'm having a hard time thinking about fall projects since I love summer so much and it's still super warm, but I'm starting to try and get in the mindset too lol!
Hi!! I've never made a blazer before, but I do hope to make some fun outerwear things when it gets colder!
That dress is so lovely Monika. Such a flattering shape on you. And the fabric is fabulous. Great tutorial, as always. Lee :)
Thank you so much!! 😊 I really appreciate it! Thank you as always for watching and I hope you’re doing well!
Also a quick note I forgot to include in the video: I ironed my bindings down each time I sewed them which really helps with neatness and the overall look of the finished project!
Comicat Creations Hi !, you are so amazing!!!... I love how you shows step-by-step... it makes your tutorial so easy to understand... keep doing what your doing your the best!!!🦋
Aw thanks Trenell!! I'm so glad they're easy for you to understand and thank you so much for such a nice compliment 😊
Thanks for this tutorial! You really make this project seem approachable! I've been making my projects so far without an iron and (embarrassingly) have never actually used one. Any recommendation on how to iron stretchy knits or what type of iron/board to use?
My dress turned out amazing. THANK YOU!!
I made one over the weekend and am sew happy with it! My fav project ever!
love the hairdo too
Your voice is perfect for tutorials! I don't know where you're from, but you have a regional diction that is quite lovely to hear, and your canter and tone of voice are very consistent. Your instructions were concise and made the task of making this beautiful dress seem so much less daunting lol

Wow, that looks loverly. Love wrap dresses. New Subscriber, gonna binge watch tonight. Lol. Thanks for sharing, & take care to. ❤🙂🐶
Thank you!!! 😃 I’ve really gotten to love wrap dresses lately too! Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel - I’m so happy to have you here! Happy sewing 😄 🧵 ✂️
@@ComicatCreations Your Welcome. And I'm going Wrap crazy too, they're so flattering & adjustable too. Take care. ❤🙂🐶
As always Monika, a clear and concise tutorial! You are an inspiration, you really make me feel that even I could make something by following your tutorials! One question, I am a lady of a 'certain age', and don't feel that people should be subjected to so much of my chest area 😏 Do you think I could make it so that it comes up higher? The dress looks amazing on you! 😍 As always, TFS and have a great weekend! 👍❤
Thanks Hazel! That is so incredibly kind of you to say and really means so much to me 😊 Lol yes I think you could probably cut it higher! I’d suggest cutting it quite a bit higher to start and then you could pin and hold the pieces up to you to see if you like their shape and make sure it will lay right, adjust if needed from there. Also, another suggestion (which is what I plan to do when wearing the dress in my every day life most of the time) is you could wear a camisole or tank top underneath in a complimentary color. I tried mine on with a white cami and it looked really cute because I still get the nice v-neck shape but have a little added modesty which is what I like for every day wear! Or even making a little tank top to wear underneath in the same fabric might look nice too. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend!! 💕
Lovely! As always. I just subscribed. Couldn't resist anymore 😁
Haha thank you so much for subscribing Myrtle!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this tutorial too 😃 Happy sewing!!

Hi Dee! Thank you so much for subscribing, it means the world to me 😊 I’m really happy you enjoy my videos! I hope you’re staying safe and healthy 💕
I like how you speak. Like someone from a story book
Haha thank you! I've gotten a lot of comments insulting my voice so this is a nice change 😄 I appreciate it!
@@ComicatCreations don't mind them. I like cartoons and stories and the nice ladies always sound like you. I like your voice very much and you're creative.
Question - since you add the bias on the neck and armholes before you sew the sides together - does this negate the need to make the bias shorter than the neck/arm holes? I am extremely new to sewing and I trying to decide to use premade non stretchy bias tape to do a spaghetti strap (I was finding using jersey a bit fiddly practicing on hubby's shirt) or just scrap the spaghetti strap and just make it a halter dress, lol.

Hi, thanks for the amazing easy to follow tutorial. I love this style of dress, it looks amazing on you. Only been sewing for a few months can I ask was it a Jersey 4 way stretch? and how many metres did you need? Thanks.
I tried making the wrap dress but mine ended up looking weird. the back seemed too low and made it look ridiculous. this is my 2nd try pls what am I doing wrong. I used a non stretch fabric though could dat be why
This tutorial has to be made with a four way stretch fabric to have it fit right. I do have a playlist with all my tutorials that use non-stretch fabric if you’re looking for some projects that’ll work well with non stretch, including a couple of wrap skirts if you want to try another wrap project 😃 Here’s the playlist if you’re interested: czcams.com/play/PLPbm7bbor0ForKAHK59dMJ67BiNS5hLfU.html
@ComicatCreation i have a question regarding thread. What is the best quality and where to buy?
I would definitely recommend Gutermann brand thread! I used to use super cheap thread to save money since I’m on a tight budget but I saw how difficult it was to sew with (especially on knits because it would break all the time and get tangled up in the machine) so now my favorite is Gutermann Sew All thread. It’s been super trustworthy for me! I do have a link in the description of this video for a multipack on Amazon and they also sell bigger packs and single colors too. You can also get it at JoAnn fabric and usually when I buy it there I’ll wait until they have a sale... I got some last time I bought it there for buy 3 get 3 free. If you do wind up buying it from Amazon, the link I have in the description is an affiliate link, which basically just means that if you buy it through that link I get a small percentage of the sale instead of Amazon getting the full price... it doesn’t affect your purchase price at all and also you absolutely don’t have to use that link either, it’s just a way to help creators keep affording to run the channel.
teach us how to cut and sew a regency dress
Hi! Thank you very much for the clear instructions. You make it look so easy! 🤗
Could you please tell me what I should alter to make a woven one? Should I use a woven top as a base?
Greetings from Holland,
Linda
Thank you so much Linda! This tutorial is designed to be made with stretch fabric so it would involve quite a bit of changes to be made with non stretch fabric unfortunately. Because the stretch fabric forms around your body to fit easily whereas woven fabric does not, you’d have to make another version of this bodice with darts or seams to create the shape that would fit around your bust. And then you’d also have to use bias tape for all the edges and ties. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help to make a woven version! I don’t have any woven wrap dress tutorials but I do have a couple of wrap skirt tutorials that are made with non stretch fabric if you’re looking for a wrap style that can be made with woven fabric, though!
@@ComicatCreations Thank you for your clear answer. I found a free pattern which I can use. Thank you for all the efforts of making sewing video's.
WOW this is amawing ! clearer tutorial ever !! I am in love with this fabric, where did you find it? :D
Thank you so much, I'm so glad it was clear for you to follow! I got the fabric from LA Finch Fabrics online fabric store 😃 They had a few fabrics like this in other colors last time I went to their website a couple weeks ago. Thank you for watching and happy sewing!
Can I use a non stretch fabric for this please
This one has to use stretch fabric with the way I designed it. Thanks for watching!
Loved the dress! How much fabric did you buy to make it??
I'm glad you liked it! I used about 3 yards for my dress 😃
🖐🏼💕
💕😃
🙊👌👌👌👌👌👍
Like the dress, except, don't like the high hem.
