Onnari and Efosa, could you please suggest a good sewing machine that is better and not as noisy as the regular Butterfly Machine? Thank you. |

Here's d fabric I'll be using for this sew along. I'll be using ankara for this sew along. I opted against polka dots cos my Orla kiely sew along dress was made in blue n white polka dots! Place your fabric on fold. Mark out ur shoulder,neckline and armhole( u may already be familiar with this process from the previous sew alongs) Here I'm using the following measurements: Shoulder - 13" Neckline depth-8" Armhole-17

Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 9:08pm On Dec 13, 2013 |
Open up your fold and then make your open darts(this helps accentuate the bust area) Here I used an inch for each dart. So folded and pinned together,what you see is a half inch fold.

Trim the sides if u can't make darts to accoMmodate the whole fabric. The waistline I'm using here is 26" so I only had to trim off about an inch @ the sides to get my perfect measurement with one and a half inch seam allowance of course. Please note that the open darts should end on your empire line/underbust.

Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 9:21pm On Dec 13, 2013 |
Back bodice: Mark out your zipper allowance. Here I used one and a half inches.

Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 9:25pm On Dec 13, 2013 |
As the front mark and cut out your shoulder,neckline and armhole. Note that you must keep your zipper allowance @ arms length! Do not include that area in your markings @ all. 1 Like

Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 9:30pm On Dec 13, 2013 |
Cut out... Make closed darts, and then Make a notch on the zipper allowance. Watch this space for the next post on sewing the pieces together. Ciao!

@ onari weldone, ar u sayin dat our dart wold not av a part dat wud taper? Den I'd like u 2 b more explicit like each step followed by its visual aid, thanks |
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 10:35pm On Dec 13, 2013 |
The darts @ d back would be tapered. For the open dart, u don't need to taper those. As for each explanAtion follwed by one pic each,nairaland doesn't make it d@ easy dear. Each xplanation is followed by pics d@ relate to it. |
Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by elektra(f): 3:46pm On Dec 14, 2013 |

Re: A “SEW ALONG” THREAD For Sewing Enthusiasts/Tailors/Fashion Designers:DECEMBER by onnari(f): 6:36pm On Dec 14, 2013 |
