The time when I shirred for an eternity!
Hello everyone, thank you for joining me on todays sewing escapade. Sorry it's been so long since the last video, family life has been crazy!
In this video I am bringing you along for the process of making a full shirred bodice dress inspired by a Pinterest frock. We shirr, we gather and nearly cry!
I use a stretch pattern to draft a bodice for this, any fitted t shirt pattern would work well if you don't like or own the one I've used.

Hi Everyone, thank you so much for watching! I know this video was a bit rough around the edges so I'm working on an updated version with a few tweaks and clearer instructions. Stay tuned ❤

It’s so gorgeous! And it’s more modest 😜 I’ve been looking for how to make a more covered-up shirred dress, and it’s perfect! Thanks for making this video!

@demibevis9551 2 года назад

This dress is STUNNING. The colour really suits you. Loved watching you make this ❤️

Thumbs up the second I saw "tell me your project isn't going well without telling me" haha so relatable

I love this dress!!! You’ve inspired me. Thank you so much for this video.

@sonialorenzo9223 2 года назад

I love it and it looks beautiful. The pink is perfect

@vickylowton2106 2 года назад

This is amazing! It looks fabulous. I think shortening the top tier a little would make it even better 😍

@farmthreads5679 2 года назад

Just discovered your channel, I am thrilled watched them all please post more and some sew a longs. Adore your fabric choices. Keep on posting such fantastic content. You have by far become my best you tuber

@maryharvey724 2 года назад

This is so challenging but so worth it. And a great technique to know.

@cristinavelazquez2554 11 месяцев назад

It’s lovely and on trend with the shirred top and the on point pink color. 🌸🎀

Gorgeous dress! I really admire your commitment to shirring too, I find it so tedious!

@alishatownsend8937 Год назад

Beautiful! I was looking to make something similar, so I appreciate the tutorial.

Already follow you on instagram, but I'm taking a few weeks off to just clear my head and avoid the endless scrolling... So I'm super happy to have discovered you have a youtube channel!! Looks great, keep it up, excited to see what comes next!!

@pamelamarshall471 Год назад

Really pretty. I was definitely looking for more instruction, but it was fun watching!

@ginaseams Год назад

Thank you for the feedback! I'm working on an updated version as there are a few tweaks I would make. I will make sure I don't miss any steps as I know this one was a bit rough round the edges 😆❤️

@user-zn1hz4nd9u 6 месяцев назад

No, leave it long 😊, Soo beautiful ❤️

@08curacao 2 года назад

The dress looks great on you! I think I would shorten the top tier a bit. Would love to see a similar video for the replication of the dress you were wearing! Xx

@withmyhandsdream Месяц назад

Can I ask how well the shirring has held over the years? I have been always told to sew back and forth at the ends of the shirring rows but the way you cut the pattern piece out of the shirred fabric prevents this. I understand why as it would be a pain to do the patterning without shirring first but if this has worked, I could use this technique as well in the future!

@lisal6290 2 года назад

When will we get to see that cold shoulder dress? It's just beautiful. Love the pink dress. 💗

@janomestitchclubuk 2 года назад

Love this! So interesting to see the whole process!

@ginaseams 2 года назад

Hopefully the next one will have a far less grueling process 😆

@janomestitchclubuk 2 года назад

@@ginaseams most definitely I was exhausted just watching!!

@louisep1898 16 дней назад

Great video thank you, can I just ask how you attached the lining to the bodice? As I’m not sure it was captured in the video unless I missed it 🙈

@carycyndi990 2 года назад

Me encanta todo lo q haces.. gracias por mostrarnos tu arte.. sigue subiendo videos.. es de gran ayuda. Acá en Argentina no tenemos acceso a esos moldes.. éxitos.. 😘💖💐

@maryharvey724 2 года назад

Keep the length! Looks adorable.

@-anna-9020 2 года назад

It was really worth the effort!

Thank you! ❤️

@user-rp2qb6gh5q 9 месяцев назад

New to this sewing and sherring, can i ask where did you get the sleeve pattern from ? just love the full bodice pattern been looking everywhere but yours is the first ive found. Just love it

@PG-xe7fc 2 года назад

Hey Gina, I'm a sewing newbie and gearing up to make a shirred dress for a holiday next month! So this vid is helpful. Could I ask if there's a particular reason you used a bobbin to sew the top thread instead of a spool of thread - is it better for shirring?

@ilmybarajas4482 Год назад

Love the dress, I am planning to make one for summer, one question what did you do for the collar?

@akshyaparveen5204 7 месяцев назад

Thankyou ❤

@sirpiddlefartiii 5 месяцев назад

Can you show us how you made the dress at 1:15?

@piratedeadhead 6 месяцев назад

Hi! Awesome dress! I love the high neck. What stitch did you use around the neck and on the bodice to sew it to the skirt? I am asking because I would like to try this and making sure I can stretch over my head and shoulders!

@ginaseams 5 месяцев назад

Hiya, thank you so much for watching! I used a narrow zig zag stitch. I'm going to do an updated version of this video, there are a few things I would change if I made it again so I'm going to do some test runs and see if they work 🥰

@whynot1064 Год назад

Dress looks lovely, for the neckline did you add any binding?

@ginaseams Год назад

Thank you! Sorry I didn't explain the neckline very well, because it was lined with jersey I didn't add a binding but I think next time I make this I will so it sits much flatter ❤️

@farmthreads5679 2 года назад

Hi Gina, how did you finish the neckline of the dress, did you use bias binding or a facing. Did you add a zip on the back? Please help as I would like to recreate this dress for myself. Unsure how you finished off the neck

@ginaseams 2 года назад

Hiya! Because it's fully lined with the jersey I didn't need to face it or anything and it stretches over my head comfortably ❤️ I think I need to topstitch it as it does lift so I'll do that with a zig zag stitch so it still stretches xx

@funnyinvisiblestring Год назад

Hi, how did you get rid of the dart in your bodice pattern?

@ginaseams Год назад

Hiya, I cut into it on my pattern and then stuck it closed, hope that makes sense!

@Jo_Darling Год назад

When I cut the shirred fabric it just unravels any tips 🤔

@ginaseams Год назад

Ah no! Have you tried stay stitching it in place using a short stitch length? I find that always helps me x

@saeedh24 Год назад

How did you finish up the neck line??

@ginaseams Год назад

Sorry I didn't make that clear, because it's lined I attached the two together as you would with a normal bodice to have the seam inside. Hope that makes sense!

@hannahhickenlooper7877 2 года назад

I would shorten the tier

@aloadofbobbins 2 года назад

Hi Gina Thankyou so much for sharing your fabulous dress. I love that you wing it with the self drafting - totally inspiring 😉😁 @aloadofbobbins

@Queendom_Dzynez Год назад

Can you do a sewalong for the one you are wearing

@ginaseams Год назад

Yes definitely! I'm making another one soon so I will film the whole process ☺️

@kayness007 6 месяцев назад

Do you sell the pattern? 😭

@ginaseams 5 месяцев назад

Sorry it's completely self drafted ❤️

@safiyagambo5048 Год назад

How many inches did you add to your actual measurements?

@ginaseams Год назад

Hiya, so using a calculator because my maths is awful 😆 I multiplied my measurements by 1.5 to give the new width, because that came up too small I did another piece the same size. Hope that makes sense!
