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. 😅
Absolutely love this - I have gingham fabric and was never sure about the proportions. Perfect and clear instructions. Thank you Tammy😀😀🥰
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🙏
Thank you! I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful, you should definitely be proud of yourself!! ❤️
Sooo cute! I’m a beginner and the way you laid out the steps makes it seem like it’s something I can totally try. 😊
So glad you find this tutorial helpful and easy to understand! You should totally try it ❤️
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.
I've discovered you today and can't stop watching! ❤️ you are very encouraging.
Thank you so much! So glad you love my content :)
Very nice dress. One of the best patterns for it. Very good tutorial as well.
I’m so happy to hear that ❤️🫶🏼
Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. I cant wait to try this project. And a huge thank you for the pleasant music.
So glad you love the tutorial ❤️
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
just purchased a lovely double duvet cover and planning one of these dresses, thank you for the tutorial you make it look easy
It'll look cute 🥰 with pockets and much longer as a maxi dress 👗❤️👍😘
That would be a lovely hack!
Amazing! I love your tutorial and your explanation is so easy to follow through and understand. Thank you so much! I'm definitely trying this out!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad to hear that ❤️
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’m so glad you loved the tutorial! What a lovely thing to sew with your granddaughter x
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! ♥
You look so beautiful in this dress and you are a good teacher. Can' t wait to try to sew it. Thank you ❤
I LOVE to watch how it pulls when I ironed the shirring ❤❤❤
Same here!! It's so satisfying 💖
@@Tammy.Handmade yess
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 😊
Thank you so much! So glad you love the tutorial! I hope you enjoy making it ❤️
Hey guys can someone tell me what pattern this fabric is plz😅
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! 😊 ❤
Love this and your beautiful teaching style. I'm definately going to try this, thank you x
This is such a well thought out video. So clear. Can't wait to get going on this project
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!
This dress is so cute. I want to make this for my nieces.
It doesn't look too difficult to adjust to little girl sizes.
this looks very easy to do. thank you. i want to start making my clothes and trying to tailor some other items that are too big. so excited.
Beautiful work beautiful dress beautiful fabric and you explained how to make this dress 👗 brava 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! So glad you love the tutorial ❤️
Too cute ... I will be trying this as i have a picnic party to attend...
It would be perfect for a picnic party!!
This reminds me of dresses from my youth. I really like it. Maybe I need a few for summer.
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!
Love this. Thank you, I have been looking for a tutorial like this for a while. Definitely my weekend project.
So glad you love the tutorial!
Thanks so much for this video Tammy, I will definitely try this out. Love this type of sew along, so clear and well laid out. Thanks again. X
So glad to hear Tracy!! I hope you enjoy sewing it ❤️
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! 😘😘😘
Wow you are a wonderful teacher! I cannot wait to try to make this it will be a wonderful summer vacation/birthday dress to show off! 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 😂
Thank you, you make it look so easy! I am going to make mine with a blue & white stripe.

Thank you.very helpful and easy to understand
Fantastic tutorial, thank you 💖
So glad you love it ❤️
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?
Very clear and easy.
So glad you love my tutorials ❤️

You’re so pretty! Thank you for the tutorial 😊
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.
So glad you love my videos! I would by 2.5 metres of fabric to give you enough to play with! :)
I made this and it turned out so cute and comfy! Thanks for the tutorial!
So glad you love the tutorial ❤️
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.
Beautiful dress. Love the fabric.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Very easy to follow. Thank you.
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!
love it! I have a very similar fabric I want to do the same thing with.
Thank you!! ❤️
Thank you so much dear❤
Glad you love the tutorial ❤️
love this! didn't knew stretchy thread was a thing. is it possible to add sleeves to this?
so pretty.
Thx so much. Loved ur tutorial!
Thank you! So glad you loved the tutorial :)
WOW! Outstanding, thanks so much:)
You're very welcome!
Love the dress ❤
Will try it !!
If you have large hips the 1.5 x bust will not work. Just made a lovely dress that fits my bust but is too tight in the hips when you sit down. 2 x would be better if you have a booty 😅
Adding pleats to the skirt part helps immensely!
@@ashleyroland1167 would you need to do two separate pieces for the top and bottom if adding pleats?
Depends, Make it a couple inches larger.And when you're done with the elastic or bunched up sewing at the top you pleat it at the bottom of the bust/right above waist. Gives the whole ensemble a better twirl
@@ashleyroland1167this sounds very interesting, but I don’t understand how you can add pleats to the skirt when it is one piece of fabric and the top is already shirred? I would love to understand though! Could you maybe try to explain again?🙏🏼
Brilliant…..the dress looks super on and you explained the whole process really well. The only think I saw when I read the comments was that instead of multiplying the bust measurement by 1.5 slightly larger bods might need to consider multiplying by 2. This could be written somewhere at the beginning so any larger bods don’t find themselves in difficulty…❤
This was a great tutorial!!!!!
Thank you!! ❤️
Very nice job. 👌
Thank you so much!
Very very helpful. Very good instructions 👍
So glad you love it! ❤️
great, thanks for sharing about that topic 👍
So glad you love the video ❤️
This is such a great video! I cant wait to try this, how many yards is needed?
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.
Have you seen the Prym shirring elastic that you use with regular thread?
Oh wow I’ve just googled this and it looks so cool!! I’ve never seen or heard of this!! Need to try this asap 😂 thank you for sharing x
Fabulous tutorial I'm a size 16 about what width fabric will I need ? I'm a 40 inch bust but don't want it too tight ?
Many thanks
Glad you love the tutorial. I would always advice a wide fabric width like 55inch.
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!
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
Hi, this is so cute! Just to clarify, you only used the elastic in the bobbin and not in the top as well, correct? Thank you.
Thank you! Yes you only use elastic in the bobbin, the top is just normal thread that matches the colour of your fabric ❤️
Very pretty. New follower here too!
Thank you so much ❤️💕
Hi, can you tell us what tension(on the sewing machine) you have used to do the shirring please.
Love it
Thank you so much ❤️
So I saw that you put the elastic in the bobbin but did you put elastic at the top of the sewing machine too? I'm new to this
Beautiful!
perfect
what settings did you use to sew the elastic? stitch length? tension?
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
I ❤ it !!!
Thank you ❤️
I absolutely love watching your videos! You do such nice work. I have a question with regards to the elastic. I can't seem to make it gather. I have the tension set at either 4 or 5 and wound the bobbin loose or added a little tension to it. Not sure why it turns out to be an ordinary stitch?
Thank you so much! You might need to actually tighten a screw on the bobbin case - I did this once when it wasn't working on my old machine and that did the trick!
Sweet as pie, thank you 😊
This is super cute, I love the fabric you picked.
Do you think it would work with silk? I bought really nice silk fabric and now i don't know what to do with it 😃🫣 (it was discounted).
Thank you! I’ve never tried it with silk but it should work fine! Just would probably be very tricky to handle and sew with ❤️
thanks.
So glad you love the video ❤️
Would you please help me troubleshoot? Why is the elastic not gathering when I sew? It is very loose. Thanks
I have a whole video about this! :) ❤️ ruclips.net/video/UXylp5yF1jg/видео.html
So cute
Love your videos
I'd like to make a shirred maxi skirt. Do you measure 1.5 times your waist and im planning to do a narrower waist band, is this ok? Thanks
It looks super easy. Buy how do I know hoy much fabric to strait with
