How To: Print On Fabric Printing on fabric is so much easier than I thought it would be! You start with some spray adhesive: Spray it onto a piece of cardstock and place your fabric on top, being sure to get out as many bubbles as possible. Then cut down the fabric so that it is the exact same size as your cardstock. Place it in your printer with the fabric facing whichever side gets the ink. You now have printed fabric! Just peel it off of the cardstock. And you are ready to use your new printed fabric!

Making a picnic dress Several people have asked me how to make my Picnic Dress. It’s a bit too complicated for the step by step instruction on how to draft a pattern I gave for the draped t-shirt, but I hope this will be enough detail for anyone who is familiar with how dresses are made. You will need 4 yards of 45″ fabric and an 18″ zipper. These are the pieces of the pattern. Mark out the measurements listed and the distances between them. If you’re not used to making your own sleeves, trace both the arm hole and the top of the sleeve off a pattern you’ve used before and like. To make the curve of the skirt even, use your tape measure like an enormous protractor. To gather the top, mark out a distance ¾ of the difference between bust and underbust measurement on one side. After gathering both the lining and the top layer of the bodice, sew them together along the neckline. Sew the edge of the facing to the neckline on each back piece. Sew the front and back together at the shoulders.
Grosgrain The 1.5 Dress 1.5 yards + 1.5 hours = One New Dress. Scarlet and I met the prudent dad for dinner shortly after the completion of this number, and he complimented my new dress! I excitedly exclaimed “Thanks! I made it!” to which he responded: “It’s cute!” So, if your goal in life is to be as sexy as possible at all times, then I guess this isn’t the dress for you. Not even a little sexy? 1. You’ll see the front neckline is lower then the back. 2. Sew in place. 3. Align the edges and pin together: Sew together and finish the edges by serging, sewing with a zig zag stitch, or cutting with pinking shears: 4. Sew in place with a straight stitch: You can leave the sleeve like this, but it will be a bit pointy as in this pic: So i made a little tweak. Fold the tip of the sleeve down about 1″: Secure it in place at both sides of the fold with a few stitches perpendicular to the sleeve: 5. 6. So you need to finish the neckline. 7. But i decided I’d like to have a little bit more fitted around the waist. Done!

Empire Sheet Dress Tutorial: Get something a lot nicer out of your extra sheets. I think this might be one of the easiest ways to make a empire waist summer dress. (DISCLAIMER, Honestly, I don't "do" strapless. I like to be more modest. However, I have no problem wearing a strapless with a cardigan. I wanted to add straps, but I haven't since I can't wear it now anyway. You will need: *A sacrificial sheet. -Side note- I used a rotary cutter and board for this. STEP ONE: The bodice Look for the narrow hem of the sheet (The part of the sheet where your feet go. It will look like this when it is finished. STEP TWO: The length Measure yourself to the length that you would like your dress to be. Once you have made up your mind- cut it! STEP THREE: Everything is better with ruffles My way of making a decent ruffle is to multiply the length of the skirt by two. I sewed the pink strip on first. Don't forget your belt. So that is it.
