Reformation Inspired Summer Dress | DIY | Pattern Drafting 

If you're wondering how much fabric you need for your sewing project, there are a few things to consider. The amount you'll need depends on your body measurements and the pattern of the fabric you're using. To avoid any issues with the print at the seams, you should take the size of the print into account and buy extra fabric to adjust it. If the print is large, you'll need more fabric than if it's small. However, small prints usually don't require any adjustments. If you're plus-sized, you may find that not all parts of the pattern fit within the fabric width. In that case, you should consider buying twice the length of the planned garment to ensure you have enough fabric. It's important to note that many fabrics have a standard width of 100 -145 cm depending on your country. However, you can't use the full fabric width because of holes in the edge from production and the fact that the print doesn't go all the way to the edge. Additionally, fabrics generally shrink between 5% and 10% after washing. To account for this, you should always wash your fabric before sewing and keep in mind that the usable width of a fabric may be less than the stated width. To give some example the usable width of a fabric of 140 cm may actually vary between 120-127 cm after shrinkage and subtracting the edge. For a fabric of 100 cm width, the usable width may vary between 84-92 cm. If you've already created your sewing pattern, you can easily determine how much fabric you'll need: You take a piece of paper of the size of the usable fabric width and arrange your cut pattern pieces on it. Afterwards you measure the length of the pieces and add flexibility for adjusting the print if necessary. If you haven't created your pattern yet, you can use a simple formula to determine how much fabric to buy based on your widest point (e.g. hips or chest) and add seam allowance, extra width for movement, and flexibility for weight changes. If this amount is greater than the usable fabric width, you'll need to buy twice the length of the planned piece. I hope this information is helpful for your sewing project!🙂

You have yourself a new subscriber! Thanks for the step-by-step process. I so enjoy drafting my own patterns but still struggle on doing it myself. This is great!

I love the video! The vibe is so good. The dress is so gorgeous! Makes me excited for summer 🌞

Such a lovely dress. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I say wonderful not only because you showed how to sew up the pattern but you showed how to draft the pattern from scratch. ❤

This is absolutely beautiful, Eva! Such a great video, and what a fantastic result! The fabric was well worth the pain it caused you, too, because it's lovely!

Eva this dress looks amazing! You've fitted it so good as well ❤I love it

Nice dress! Thanks for showing us in detail how you made it.

This tutorial is Amazing 🤩🤩🤩 love how you explain patterns in such detail

CONGRATULATIONS you have certainly inspired me to get out the sewing machine.

Wow! Thank you for the amazing tutorial!! Sooo concise and Very beginner friendly❤❤❤

I love how this dress looks on you!! I am a little confused as to how the pieces were put together. Can you please make a video going in depth on how you cut the pieces and stitched them together with a cloth that has different looking patterns on the two sides. And can you also please include how we can make the same dress but without the sheering pattern and only the zip? Once gain I love this dress and how it turned out on you!!

My goodness your way of presentation is so good thanks

It's beautiful!! Thanks for sharing the pattern Pls make peasant top

Thank you for great video and step by step tutorial❤ I would like to ask about skirt part and slit. Is there a dart on front panel which connects to slit panel? I dont quite understand that part. Thank you for your help!

OMGGGG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE BEGINNER FRIENDLY VIDEOS

❤

Thanks a lot, sis. I was looking for someone who taught how to make the pattern as well (bc most of the yt people were just selling their patterns in the name of diy). Looking forward to more. ❤

This is amazing.. You make sewing seems easy and fun. And i really like your detail explaination. Good work 🎉🎉 Pls make milk maid dress tutorial for beginners. Thanx Eva

Nice

That dress is stunning! I love the print you used. Do you remember where you purchased the fabric?

An awesome tutorial! I just don't get where the pattern at 7:15 comes from (it's not what has been created so far), and how you get the 4 pieces seen at 7:26 and 7:28 if you cut the front part down the slit line of the pattern used for the back. What I've finally come with is that the front part is cut twice: 1) just the curvy part cut at the slit line, and 2) the whole part seen at 7:15 which is the back piece plus another part to take into account the "missing" part (from slit line to the edge) of 1). In any case, I'll definitely try this out! Thanks so much!

超かわいい〜　so purity

beautiful woman and very professional content..nice!!👌👌

Love the video! Can you tell me how much fabric you used for the dress?

Классное платье😻👍

Great work. I love, that you adjust the pattern to your bust, too, instead of only adjusting the length of the upper part. May I ask what kind of yarn you used for the shirring / what method you used for the shirring? Some people use flexible yarn for straight stitches, while others use rubber bands. I could not see that clearly in the video. 🙂

Hey I love this but i don't quite understand how you cut out the fabric can you share that in one video

Beautiful! And great tutorial! Where did you attache the straps at the back of the dress?

🧡🧡🧡💯👍

Beautiful work 💕 About how much fabric did you use?

Hello, i will sew a dress first time. Thanks for the courage that you have given to me :) Can you explain what kind of fabric did you used? Is it stretchy or viscose? Also i couldn't see how you placed the back straps and sew them.
