  • Hello my friends in the sewing lmasat lkhyata channel! Today, we will guide you through the steps to create a wonderful and distinctive short summer dress with just a meter and a half of fabric. This easy-to-follow tutorial is perfect for beginners and will result in a stylish and comfortable dress that's perfect for those hot summer days.
    Materials you will need:
    1.5 meters of lightweight, breathable fabric (cotton or linen works great for summer)
    Sewing machine or needle and thread
    Scissors
    Measuring tape
    Pins
    Iron and ironing board
    Step 1: Take your fabric and wash it to ensure it won't shrink after sewing. Once dry, iron it to remove any wrinkles.
    Step 2: Fold the fabric in half, lengthwise, with the right sides facing each other. This will create a double layer of fabric.
    Step 3: Using your measuring tape, measure the length you want for your dress, starting from the top edge of the folded fabric. Mark this length with a pin or fabric chalk.
    Step 4: On the top folded edge, measure and mark the width of your dress's neckline, which can be a gentle scoop, V-neck, or any other style you prefer.
    Step 5: Now, measure and mark the armhole depth starting from the side edges of the fabric. This will determine the size of the armholes.
    Step 6: Cut along the marked lines for the neckline and armholes, carefully following your measurements.
    Step 7: With the fabric still folded, create a slight curve at the bottom edge of the dress to form the hemline. Mark and cut it accordingly.
    Step 8: Unfold the fabric, and you should have the front and back pieces of your dress connected at the shoulders.
    Step 9: Pin the side seams together, making sure the right sides of the fabric are facing each other.
    Step 10: Sew the pinned side seams using a straight stitch, leaving enough room at the top for armholes.
    Step 11: Try on the dress to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
    Step 12: Once you're satisfied with the fit, trim any excess fabric from the seams and finish the edges using a serger or zigzag stitch to prevent fraying.
    Step 13: Hem the bottom of the dress to your desired length.
    Step 14: If you want to add straps, cut two strips of fabric and attach them to the dress at the shoulders.
    Step 15: Give the dress a final press with the iron, and you're ready to rock your stylish and unique short summer dress!
    Feel free to customize the dress by adding pockets, embellishments, or experimenting with different fabrics and patterns. Enjoy your sewing project, and don't forget to show off your creation to the sewing community! Happy sewing!
