Hey, you're watching with Wendy today
I'm going to show you how I've printed some fabric and then turn that fabric into a dress
It's the dress that I'm wearing
[Gretzky's] has a couple of new lipsticks coming out and with that whole thing they wanted to create an art display to show off lipsticks
[I] got pulled them because if we could put lipstick onto fabric into a design then I should sell it and turn it into an
[outfit] as usual
I've included a link below with all the details in written form and if you're looking for more photos of this dress that I made
There's a couple of them floating on my instagram rat with Wendy
[I] hope it's something inspirational and shows a bit more of the fabric design process
Obviously, we can't stop there. We have to make something out [of] this fabric
So I cut out a front and [back] piece out [of] the linen and we're going to be making a dress
I've included full sizing and dimensions in a blog post below but first I cut out a front and back piece
Tracing around a shirt that I already own
once you have your front and back piece cut out we will start by sewing them together with a straight stitch along the shoulders with
the right sides touching
Using a dress shirt that I already owned I traced out two sleeve pieces to go on to this dress I open up the shirt
So that I'm looking at it from above
And then fold that sleeve in half so I can align it symmetrically to the top shoulder seam
I take those two pieces line them up
open up the sleeve and start pinning all the way down the two sides when you have your sleeve all pinned up go ahead and
Sew those together with a straight stitch along the center back
I cut a [two] [inch] slit downwards to help it get over the head and on the sides go ahead and sew [that] [down] making
Sure that you start at the armpit so that the seam at the armpit is completely aligned next. I took a rectangle
That was 14 inches tall
54 inches wide and I sewed it right sides together along the raw edge to make it into a Tube
I took a strip of lace that was the same length so [that] into a tube as well and then pinned the two layers together
All the way around go ahead and sell those two together along the top [edge] with a straight stitch
Flip that Tube onto the top of the dress [that] we've made thus far and pin them together all along the bottom
There's a lot of pins here
And it's because that Tube that we made is
bigger than the circumference of the dress what we're trying to do here is create a couple of ruffles so that the dress has a
More trapeze shape go ahead and sell these right sides together using out the pins as [you] go so that it's ruffled along
Here's how it should look when you flip it back to the right side out
We're going to add one extra stitch right above the lace layer
And that's going to hold down the raw fabric and make sure everything lies nice and flat along the bottom edge of the dress I
add some more [of] that same lace ruffle in it as I go [so] that it has a little bit of a ballooning shape the
Neckline should be finished off [with] some matching bias tape
I unfold the bias tape down the middle and [sew] with a straight stitch down the middle of the bias tape
Going all the way around the neckline once you make it all the way back to the other side of the back slit cut off
The excess bias tape tuck that bias tape inwards and then sew that with a straight stitch all the way around the neckline
More to finish it
For the back slit I finished it off with one button and a little piece of elastic so that it can close off and for
The sleeves I tucked the loose end inwards two times and sewed it down with a straight stitch to hem it off

thanks to
Chrissy at spark Box Studio who is my
Sensei on how to stamp print fabric and also
Thanks to burt's bees for making this whole [thing] possible so that I could spend a day crafting and printing fabric
I'll see you all next time
