Any tips for dress making?
I bought a fairly simple Mccalls pattern. I have never made a dress before but am pretty crafty in other areas (macreme, nitting, looming, small sewing projects like bags and stuff). Any advice/tips.
Read the directions all the way through before you start.
Iron the pattern pieces.
Make sure the fabric is washed and dried the way you intend to wash and dry the garment.
When you pin your pattern to the fabric, use a lot of pins. Run them the long way within the seam allowance so the pattern lies perfectly flat on the fabric.
Use sharp scizzors that are never used on paper.
If you have to pin pieces together to be sewn, remove each pin before it reaches the needle.
Don't sew when you're tired.
Have fun and enjoy your new dress!
