  • Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my Underlined Linen Shift Dress 💙💙💙. I’m over the moon with how this has turned out, the underlining gives that little bit of extra density to this light weight linen resulting in a dress that feels substantial, super comfortable and soft against the skin. It takes a little bit of extra work but for me totally worth it and bonus this method has given me a few ideas for future makes👌👌👌 I hope that the video helps those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar and that you enjoy. Susanne 💕

    The quality of custom dresses are so much better. I made a dress a while ago and the hemming, lining/underlining, zipper, etc all make the dress feel luxurious and nicely weighted.
    Thanks for going through everything step by step. Helps a lot for novices like me.
    I have to brush up my sewing skills again to make a Halloween costume for my son. =)

    My first time to watch ! I learned so many new techniques and I’ve been sewing for 50 years. The details you took the time to include such as hand basting around the edges of underlining and darts make such a difference. I also will be including the zip facing. There were so many details that make it couture all the way. Thank you for sharing. I’ll be watching many more of your videos!

    You are my favorite dressmaker. I like the way you construct your outfits, usually the whole front and the entire back separately and then finish at the side seams. I'd love for you to guide us through making a personal block so that we could try your method of designing clothes. Also, how do you make those thread loops for button and belt fastenings?

    Love this dress with the pretty Spring time Look and Tie at the Waist really set it off. Everything flowed together so well, and love the way it turned out. I would watch this video again, so since you said that you will be definitely using this pattern again, make sure to let us watch and see how you finish the side seams, since others are asking about that as well. I CAN NOT WAIT to see your next video, I LOVE THEM ALL...

    I am “super happy” with how well you sew! You are a marvel! I’m embarrassed to say I am a sewer in comparison and in the same company as you. I nearly clicked off when you hand stitched the lining fabric to the main fabric. I loath hand sewing! Look at what I would have missed if I had!! I ADORE garments that look as well on the inside as they do on the outside. You are a master! I am a new subscriber because I am bound and determined to learn at your elbow. Sis, if I learn how to sew the inside of my makes half as well as you, you won’t be able to tell me nothin’!! What a stunning bespoke dress. Bravo!

    I don't know if your channel is still active, it doesn't look like it. But I have to say, this video on underlining is tremendous and one of the best tutorials on how to accomplish this task. Your fabric is gorgeous, and I am sure the finished dress was exquisite with such loving detail to excellence. Thank you for the educational videos!

  • @guineverecassidy4855
    @guineverecassidy4855 3 года назад

    Beautiful work! Underlining (sometimes called flat lining) is a rarely used technique that can work wonders and puts such a beautiful finish to garments. Personally, I'm not a big fan of iron on interfacing. It never stands the test of time and laundry for me. On neck facings I prefer to sew the shoulder seams of the fashion fabric and the interlining as separate layers, press seams open. Layer right sides together of the two neck facing layers and stitch around outer edge. Trim down the seam allowance with pinking shears close to the stitching line. Turn neck facing to right ride and press, rolling the outer edge slightly under toward the interlining side and matching the neck cut edge. Finish the neck as you did. This way the the neck is interfaced and the outer edge is nicely encased in the seam. Thank you for another beautiful garment video.

    I am seeing a lot of linen dresses being made on RUclips. I shy away from linen as it wrinkles . But it makes a garment look very chic. I am hoping that linen nowadays has bamboo or something in it to minimize wrinkling. This dress is absolutely stunning...

  • @lenigray
    @lenigray 4 месяца назад

    I would cut the lining out on top of the fabric, but rather than marking both I would just mark the lining fabric once penned to the top fabric. I'm probably missing something here. It seems they are being sewed together anyway. Love the tutorial. I used to so a lot as a teenager (economic s) but havent a a lot since. Now retired I have a little time.
