Your tutorial is the best one I watched. My two favorite ways are : first method for something quick, third method for a more polished look. My daughter likes wearing sun dresses that are shirred; but I always thought it to complicated. I’m pleased with the simplicity of these methods. Thank you for an easily understood tutorial.

@sashastarlight 2 года назад

Ah thank you Renee, that’s great to hear & yes agree! I use 1 for a quick fix & 3 for something special 🤩

@BreeahnCarter Год назад

This is exactly what I needed today and so beautifully and easily explained/demonstrated - thank you!

@sashastarlight Год назад

Ah that's so lovely to hear & thank you, glad it helped 🙃✨

Growing up in the UK, we girls got the smocked dresses and blouses. Here in the US, I am sewing an old (70s) vintage child's peasant dress with shirring for the bodice. I would have to mail off for the elastic thread and end up paying from $15 up. I like frugal. I can walk to the shop and get the 1/4 inch elastic, so the third method it is. I learned to embroider and mend as a child, (dad learned hand sewing and mending in the military and I became his recruit) so I actually like the sewing machine and hand sewing just fine. Thank you.

@almaleticiaherrera1878 Час назад

Hi, Sasha! Thank you for teaching us! You are the first one I have seen a video on how to shirr with an elastic. I understand the process of the elastic thread, to steam and shrink. But if I do shirring with just elastic, what is the difference in shrinkage between the two kinds of shirring. Example: to shirr with elastic thread, we double the measurements of the fabric, to allow for shrinkage. How do we measure fabrics, when using regular elastic?? Example, making a 5 yr. old girl's dress... Thank you for your answer!! Jesus loves you!

@tabythawynn8897 2 месяца назад

@ZuzanaNovak 2 года назад

Love this! Thank you! I learned to sew from my mama and grandma and used to have all of the tips and tricks. Now, I work in an office and haven't sewed in years - but with a young daughter I really want to sew for her but also get back into sewing for myself! It used to be such a joy to create my own things. I remember a lot but with little time and a patchy memory, your tutorials are wonderful! Super great detail and quick and full in terms of practical applications, pros and cons etc. Thank you again and I very much look forward to getting back into it all with your videos and sharing of your expertise as part of that.

@sashastarlight 2 года назад

Ah thank you Zuzana, that’s so lovely to hear & thank you for sharing your sewing journey, love this! 🙃💕 lots more videos coming this month xx

@ThugLady 3 месяца назад

this tutorial is incredible and very clear! thank you so much! as a plus size sewist (who is also broke 🥲) this will help me create garments with woven fabrics that allow for stretch necessary for movement. bodyfat isnt static but it moves with different positions and i really needed this to combat fitting issues. thank you! 🙌🏾

@SusanSmith-hl3iv 6 месяцев назад

❤❤ Thanks for all the stirring information, and THREE WAYS! By the way, you want the elastic to be TAUT, not taught which is the past tense of teach. That message popped up as you were hand winding the elastic thread using your bobbin winding holder. THAT is a great tip. You have many wonderful ideas. You are so creative.😊

Thank you for a lovely Tutorial. It's lovely to see the 3 different ways of sewing shirring onto clothes. 🥰🥰. I didn't know about the 2nd and 3 rd way of doing it. My favourite way is definitely no 3 ! And putting it in the washing machine is much better ! 👍👍👍. Keep going and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Please keep doing the pros and cons. They are very helpful. ♥️♥️♥️. Thank you. X

@ansugabe 2 года назад

I was just about to replace some elastic thread on the bodice of one of my dresses with worn out shirring. You’ve made me reconsider my method so that it will hold up better this time around. Thank you! This was very helpful. And now I’m a new subscriber!

@sashastarlight 2 года назад

Ah thank you Sue! I know, I find it so frustrating when the elastic thread wears out too as I hate hand washing things! Hope you have success with the new method and have fun with it 🥰

@spitfire_2 2 года назад

Wonderful production! I’m subscribed. Method 3 is my choice; I can’t abide elastic next to my sensitive skin. I hope you don’t mind me correcting your spelling (please forgive me!) . . . “taut” means tight whereas “taught” refers to what you just did to me. Thank you for the awesome lesson! I’m sure I’ll be watching every episode. 🙂

@sashastarlight 2 года назад

Ah thank you Angie, yes I agree, method 3 is soooo much nicer to wear 🥰 and oh my goodness, yes you’re right, that’s going to bug me every time I see it now oops 😅🙈💋

This always looks to me like a summery type of design. I wonder if I could make something for autumn/winter with this technique. I'll do some research 🤔😍😍

It often is used in summer clothes but it would work on a fine suiting wool great too! 💕✨

@nataliak2350 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this video and especially for the third method! I was thinking of trying smth like this but somehow it seemed too time consuming. But honestly considering how much i always struggle with the first method, i think the third one might be quicker for me. I made a few dresses with the first method and i swear to god, every time smth happened - one time the shirring suddenly became looser halfway through and no matter how much I fiddled with tension it would not go back; the other time the elastic thread i bought was apparently too old and just kept breaking; not to mention how tedious it is to change lower tension on my machine and then change it back to normal without my machine(or me) having a tantrum. Anyways, enough complaining :) thank u for this, i'm definitely gonna use the third method from now on! Also I love ur style

Ah love to hear this helped with some options Dona! Hope your next shirred dress is a bit smoother 🥰 ✨

@donaunsworth5620 Год назад

@Sasha Starlight I've got one cut out just waiting on the other elastic. As I tried with the usual one. It failed dismally and I had to UNPICK. For some reason it wouldn't shirr at all? But it had in the practice matching fabric. I won't be beaten though. Thanks Sasha ❤️

@TartantazCreates 2 года назад

I was going to try making my first shirred dress with elastic thread and now I am wondering if I should try a different method for more longevity of my dress. I look forward to seeing more videos from you. T x

Ah thank you Regina, yes I think it’s so worth the extra effort 🥰 And yes I have a custom block video coming! With a download to go with it too, will be our end of August xx

@donaunsworth5620 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much. Im about to try and make a gypsy dress and have both elastics. Although my 1st attempt laat year was a nightmare honestly. I managed it but found the elastic did irritate my skin. Now im thinking of attempting number 3 which will not only irradicate being uncomfortable but also means on see-through fabric i wont feel self conscious. I also want to add a partial lining on the skirt part for the sheerness of the fabric. I pray i can make this work i don't mind it being time consuming just hope i can sew straight lines with being still a newbie sewer. Have a wonderful day ❤

@sashastarlight 2 месяца назад

Ah sounds like a fun project - I'm sure you'll smash it 🤩 💪 For this technique even if your lines are a little bit wobbly it won't notice too much once the elastic is gathered in 🙃 💕
