Size: one size only, to fit size 10 Difficulty: intermediate Time: two days
You will need pattern grid on pages 64-66 dressmaker’s graph paper 2,5m stretch jersey 150cm wide matching coloured machine thread
To make NOTE All pattern pieces include 1,5cm seam allowances. 1 Draft the pattern pieces on pages 64- 66 onto dressmaker’s graph paper. Cut out all the dress pieces from the fabric and transfer all the pattern markings. 2 On the back bodice and back skirt piece, stitch the darts closed. Press towards the outer seam. 3 Placing the right sides together, stitch the front and back bodice pieces together at the shoulder seam. Press the seam allowances open. 4 Set in the sleeves, easing the sleeve cap to fit into the armhole.
5 With right sides together, sew the side seams of the bodice. On one side, leave 4cm from the lower edge unstitched. This will later form the slit through which the sash will pull to tie the dress. 6 Stitch the front and back skirt pieces right sides together at the side seam. Press the seam allowances open. 7 Matching darts and side seams, sew the bodice and skirt together at the waistline. 8 Turn the seam allowance towards the inside and finish the neckline and side edges of the skirt. 9 Fold the tie piece in half lengthwise, right sides facing. Stitch one short side and the long side. Turn through to the right side and press. Repeat for the other tie piece. 10 Sew the ties onto the short edges of the front bodice, tucking the raw edges inside the open end of the tie band for a neat finish. 11 Press all seams and finish the slit for the tie on the side seam by hand. 12 Hem the lower skirt edge and the sleeves.
