hi everyone welcome back to my channel i hope you're doing good today today i am going to show
you how i made this simple asymmetric top i used 2.5 meters of organza fabric and that is because i
doubled the layer if this is your first time on this channel thank you for stopping by please
subscribe like and share and if you're returning subscriber thank you for coming back let's get to
it i have folded my fabric so i am going to show you how i folded it using this paper here is what
i did this is 2.5 meters of organza and it is by 60 just this way so i folded it into two first
and then again into two and that is because i want the front pattern and the back pattern to be two
layers each because it is a see-through fabric but if you want it to be one layer just the usual way
fold your fabric once don't fold it the second time but for me i'm folding it again and then
you fold it this way so this is what i have this folded part is what i have here and this top part
is also folded now i can leave this aside this is going to be the center front and the center back
first take the vertical measurements from the top to my waistline 15.5
and then i'm also going to take the length the length is 23 so i'm just going to use this length
i think i should cut this bottom part out
the length is by 23 inches which is fine now draw this into a straight line
this is my waist line shoulder to waist and shoulder to the
hem for the neck width i'll use 4.5 and for the neck depth i'll use 3.75
mind you the front and the back neckline will have the same dimension this is my neckline
for the sleeve it depends on how long you want it to be for me what i have here is about 28 inches
which is fine i'll use all of the 28 inches so that we will have enough to fold inward
but if you want it shorter then you can take a shorter length draw it into a straight line
now on the hem of the dress, i am going to get my hips measurement divided by four my
hips measurement is 42 divided by four i have 10.5 i 'll add some extra allowance
let me use two inches allowance so that would be 12.5
now from this mark go upward by four inches and then on this line this is the waistline
go up about one inch then i'll connect this four inch mark up to here
we are done with this part now i am going to cut
so that we can concentrate on the neckline so when you're cutting you
can cut the exact thing you have because we already added seam allowance to those parts
lift the first two layers up and pin it pin the other one as well because we're going to open
up the fabric and we don't want it to shift notch any part so that your sewing can align
now before i open it up i'm going to cut this out the neckline cut 0.25 inch above
you can notch the middle part now open it up so because this dress has the same
neckline at the front and at the back and it has the same dimension all through you do not
need to determine where you want the asymmetric neckline to be whether to the left or to the right
because you can wear it to the front and you can wear it to the back and change the neckline
okay remember we marked five inches here now i am going to increase it by three inches
and then i'll connect from the mid part to the three inch mark
if you want it wider then you can increase it as much as you want now cut it out
0.25 inch above
now the next thing we're going to do is to sew
the sewing part is very simple remember i told you that i'm going to have two layers for the front
and two layers for the back so this is it it's two layers each i'll have to cut this bottom part open
now to sew lift up the first two and then i'm going to sew all round using a 0.25 inch so in the
lower but if you did not use two layers for yours then you can just use a bias tip for the neckline
here i have sewn it now notch
after notching and trimming the neck you know this two is for the top these two is for the
bottom but in order to turn it because i have sewn the neck i'm going to take the
first layer and then i'm going to turn the clothes inside put the first layer inside
okay so this is what i have now
just the way it is now first i'm going to under-stitch it after under-stitching
i'm going to iron and ensure it is flat then you're going to work on the sleeves
so guys i have under-stitched i under-stitched to the inside of the fabric so because of the
way i understood this is going to be my wrong side and this is going to be the right side so
because of the nature of this fabric it is very very light and it frays a lot i am going to do
a french seam this is what it looks like it helps to conceal your seams and it is usually very very
neat on the inside so this is the right side of my fabric now i am going to sew from here
straight here on the right side and as well from here straight here on the right side
with a 0.25 inch seam allowance now i have sewn it on the right side
and i have trimmed the excess as well now the next thing
is to turn it to the wrong side remember this method is usually used for lightweight fabrics
you see what the wrong side looks like now iron it ensure it is flat then you're going to
put this together like this and then you sew from the top to the bottom when sewing you
have to ensure that the seam this tiny seam is inside what you're sewing all right so you sew
from the top to the bottom so guys i have sewn it this is the wrong side i start very close to
the edge i ensure that the seam is tucked in now if i turn it to the right side
this is what it is going to look like on the right side so you see it is very neat i do not need
an overlocker to do this so when you're making lightweight fabrics you do not need that
overlocker to finish the same you can use this method it is very neat on the outside it is neat
on the inside as well now the next thing i'm going to do is to put an elastic on my sleeve
like we always do when you want to put an elastic i'll first make an elastic casing because i have
two layers i can do a basting stitch first just to hold it down then i'm going to fold it in
two times iron it and then you soak leave a space of about
two inches three inches and then pass through the elastic
same on this side and on the hem if you want to leave it like this you can leave it
but if not then you can also do the same you do an elastic casing leave about three inches opening
putting your elastic with a safety pin and then you complete your sewing and that is
it thank you very much for watching this tutorial if it was helpful please subscribe like and share
