Hey! No need to line the fabric. I used the normal presser foot for shirring.

Hey! Instead of marking 12cm at 0:45, you can mark at 15cm or more depending on how much you want your shoulder to be covered. Similarly make adjustments on the sleeve. Make sure the sleeve cut aligns with the armhole cut made on the top.

I got it from a local market.

Thank you❤️

Hey! For the sleeves, measure your bicep and multiply it by 2 or multiply it by 3 or 4cm if you want the sleeves to be more puffy and then add 4cm for seam allowance.

Sorry i didn’t explain myself properly, I mean the parts where on the main bodice you make a mark 12cm across and 7cm down make a diagonal line then cut it off and for the sleeve mark 4cm across and 13 down then cut that bit off. Are these measurements the same for all sizes or would we need to amend them if we are larger than you. Hope I’ve explained this ok. Thanks

@@sallyanne2103 ohh got it! That will remain the same.

@@BrownGirlDIYs brilliant, thanks. Will definitely be trying this.

Hey! Any lightweight fabrics can be used such cotton, polyester, chiffon, rayon, voile, muslin, poplin, silk etc. Avoid heavy weight fabrics such as flannel, wool, canvas etc.

Hey! I kept the tension at 8 (out of 9) and used the maximum stitch length available on my machine 3 (out of 3). Different machines work differently so check it out on a scrap fabric before sewing on the main fabric.

Is it like gathering or do you do a back stitch at the end of each row of stitching?

Thank you♥️

Hey! For me, half meter fabric of 44” width was enough. It depends on one’s size

@@BrownGirlDIYs thank you so much for your reply

Hey! Those are standard measurements

@@BrownGirlDIYs oh ok. Does it apply for all sizes. And for kids as well

Thank you❤️
