It only says that it is time to get a similar elegant thing in his wardrobe. But we are not going to spend big money on it. We will read an interesting master class, posted by the site "Handwork and Creative" and try to sew a beautiful long summer dress with your own hands. We should get a unique, unique and exclusive outfit!
Required materials and tools:
- Basic dress for dresses. We used Elastic Jersey;
- fabric for finishing;
- Paint for fabric.
Pass the fabric
Use a zigzag or elastic line. This will allow the seam to stretch in contrast to the straight line. Foot and needle with rounded edges will help avoid wrinkling. If you want, you can not handle edges. Fold the cloth in half along the longest side. Look at the template where you see a white dotted line, there it is necessary to see our fabric.
Soak fabric
After you shot all sides, remove the fabric on the front side. At the moment you have got a giant pillowcase.Making cutout
At the short end - the fact that will be at the top of the dress, determine the middle and mark this place. Cut down from this point about 15 cm. We will get a good cutout. You can make it more or less deep.
Cut the sleeves
Cut on both sides 21 cm holes for sleeves. You must have this dress.
Mobile dress
Since our long summer dress is your hands now in a bright white color, and we see it bright, it's time for staining the fabric: prepare the necessary colors, we have a fuchsia and tangerine color. Following instructions, mix colors. If you add less water, then get a darker shade, and if more is light. Take a big bucket and mix the paints in it. Start dresses. Constantly stir fabric to avoid uneven color. Remember that the color will eventually be on 2-3 shade lighter than what you get at the exit from the bucket. Rinse well in the bathroom or in a washing machine.
