Nice clean sewing job and clear tutorial! The only thing I would recommend to newbies is to hem the ruffle first. Such a large loop is a lot easier to work with while it is still flat, ungathered, and not connected to the rest of the dress. 😅
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have some pre-shirred fabric and want to make dresses for my daughters. I am very green when it comes to sewing so I love the little extras like the straps and ruffle you did. They make it look so cute....and not to hard to do either. Thank you for explaining so simply.
You are an amazing teacher! I'm quite dodgy at shirring. I just made it today. I love the pattern I just needed to listen when you said draw lines if it's not a pattern with lines cause that shirring is wack I made bigger straps for me too. Great beginners dress would recommend and I personally love your style of teaching I can't wait to try more from you! Learned to actually take the measurements and cut everything correctly thank you! 😊 ❤
Adorable dress, excellent instructions ❤ I watched in awe while you sewed the elastic for the stirring and then the steam ironing was pure magic ! Wow I can’t wait to make mine. TY
This style of dress is perfect for summer and also reminds me of my childhood ❤️ I find them so comfy to wear and perfectly fitted without lots of work!
Thank you so much. My granddaughter and I made this dress with a different fabric. Now we are going to try it with the same fabric you used. Your directions are perfect. The best part was learning how to do the shirring.
I adore the dress and how clear you explained the making of the dress. It looks absolutely beautiful on you. Sadly I am waiting for my sewing machine to come home from the repair shop when it does, your dress is at the top of my make list ready for my holidays! Thank you 😊
Thanks heaps for the lovely Tutorial! When doing the shirring, did you use the elastic thread in your bobbin and as your main thread? Also what stitch type did you use? Did you use normal stitch length and width? Thanks heaps!
Girl I love how you explain everything so clearly and in an easy to follow along manner for us beginners. I learned some new techniques. I am going to give this a try for a summer dress with some bedsheets for fabric 🙈 Thank you for sharing! ♥
Hi! May I please know the thread size/diameter? Would a 0.5mm diameter do? I wanted to make this dress but wasn’t sure which size of elastic thread to use. Thanks 😊
I used to make this kind of dress for my daughter when she was a little girl, starting when she was about two. She is now in her 40’s. I would make it be a top to wear with shorts or make it dress length. I would use a piece of fabric selvage-to-selvage wide and sew as many rows of shirting as it needed to make it small enough to fit her circumference. And make it as long as needed for a top or dress. I made the straps like you did, only without elastic inside. I might try making one for myself now.
This is so pretty! 😃 That colour looks amazing against your skintone, really really flattering on your bronzed skin.♥️ Yellow would make me look even more white... 🤣 ...but I have some gorgeous pale blue cotton with tiny white flowers all over and that's what I'll be using to make this dress. ☺️ We're supposed to be getting 32°c here by mid August so i might make a few of these to keep me cooler whilst looking pretty. (Plus cotton is great against the boobs for keeping the sweat at bay!) 😵 New subscriber! 😁 I've been sewing years, craft items or home items, like bags, book covers, cushions, curtains etc...but I've just started attempting clothing for myself. Never attempted shirring before so let's hope I am ok at it! 🙄 From one UK Tami to another Tammy, thank you! 😘😘😘
So beautiful!!!❤ The fabric is very cute and the shirring perfect for summer. I tried this week to shir a top bur my machine doesn't want to collaborate 😂
Hello Beautiful, like to give it a go. Your not mentioned how much fabric to use, give us idea, fabric needed. Thank you, for well explained videos.😊 Carola, Australia.
Are you using a zigzag stitch and if so, what is the length? Love the tutorial and dress. Now I am going to make a dress for my 5 year old grand daughter, wish me luck! BTW, does the calculations work for all sizes/measurements? Thank you.
Hi Tammy I’m a complete newbie but luckily found your channel 😆 My 1.5 x bust measurement comes out at 58.5” however I have a smaller piece of fabric with a width of 55” and wondering if I can squeeze this dress out of it by reducing the top section width down a bit. Surely with all the elastic shirring this might be doable? What are your thoughts? Apologies if this is a daft question 😊Many thanks.

Thank you for the video. I am planning to teach my 9 yr old granddaughter how to sew and am using this idea for a dress she can have a go at making .
Nice clean sewing job and clear tutorial!

I made myself a maternity dress just like this one out of a fine cotton sari, years ago. It was beautiful and so light weight for summer.
Oh wow that sounds gorgous!
Thanks Tammy for your tutorials❤. I now have made 4 sheered dresses and pretty proud of myself for doing so🙏

Hi! May I please know the thread size/diameter? Would a 0.5mm diameter do? I wanted to make this dress but wasn’t sure which size of elastic thread to use. Thanks 😊
Yes 0.5mm is the standard size for elastic thread ❤️ I hope you enjoy sewing it!
Thank you, you make it look so easy! I am going to make mine with a blue & white stripe.
So glad you love the tutorial ❤️

I made the straps like you did, only without elastic inside. I might try making one for myself now.
Love the tutorial! I might’ve missed it, but I was wondering if you had the main dress stitch to attach it on the side or directly in the back?
This is the best sewing video I’ve seen, and so inspiring! I’m new to sewing but I feel like I can do this! Thanks so much!
That turned out so beautiful, thank you for the easy directions.
So glad you love the tutorial ❤️

Will try it !!
Very very helpful. Very good instructions 👍
So glad you love it! ❤️
Are you using a zigzag stitch and if so, what is the length? Love the tutorial and dress. Now I am going to make a dress for my 5 year old grand daughter, wish me luck! BTW, does the calculations work for all sizes/measurements? Thank you.
What size is the elastic thread? Thanks 😊
what settings did you use to sew the elastic? stitch length? tension?
It looks super easy. Buy how do I know hoy much fabric to strait with
great, thanks for sharing about that topic 👍
So glad you love the video ❤️
Very easy to follow. Thank you.
Gorgeous. Can I ask where you bought this fabric from please? It’s lovely x
Thank you! I can't remember the exact place I bought it, but here's a really similar one from Minerva tidd.ly/3Sf5p87
You’re so pretty! Thank you for the tutorial 😊
Can you shir without elastic thread?
Hi, can you tell us what tension(on the sewing machine) you have used to do the shirring please.
Hi Tammy I’m a complete newbie but luckily found your channel 😆
My 1.5 x bust measurement comes out at 58.5” however I have a smaller piece of fabric with a width of 55” and wondering if I can squeeze this dress out of it by reducing the top section width down a bit. Surely with all the elastic shirring this might be doable? What are your thoughts? Apologies if this is a daft question 😊Many thanks.
It is very nice
what is the inch between the 2 rows of elastic at the top of the rug if you don't have fabric with and pre-printed line
I would do 1/2" between each line ❤️
@@Tammy.Handmade thank you for the answer
So cute
perfect
Very pretty. New follower here too!
Thank you so much ❤️💕
thanks.
So glad you love the video ❤️
Thanks for this video
But quick question pls When u shrink further with a steam iron, does it stay permanent?
This is so cute I love the straps. I’m going to make this! But I think I’ll add patch pockets!
That sounds like a lovely idea!
