I just created something really cool, I did 2 inch folded gathers on each sides of the front and back of the top piece. I used 2 inch folds because I needed it to measure 24 inches across when doubled and it measured 32. I needed to removed 8 inches, so you can figure out how much you need. I really find the pattern works better doing it in two pieces. I have made a few of these and each time I do or learn something different. I still get confused with the top piece and cutting it, but somehow all my hand written notes help me through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277671336836839009.post-70522640430378820022018-08-21T13:04:34.718-07:002018-08-21T13:04:34.718-07:00Sorry for the delay here.

Yes, you're taking it up and creating a seam that stops and may make a bulge. I've taken to covering that seam up with bias tape to smooth it out (and reinforce it). So far, it's held up really well.

The pattern itself is one big rectangle, so that's a tape measure and a couple of pieces of news print. <br />The One Hour Dresses I've seen that I've loved either use a piece of fabric that has details worked into it (embroidered tablecloths) or border prints. I would love to see some real flour sack dresses to see how that plays into it.<br />It is a bigger field of inquiry than I had previously thought.SJ Kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871599515352715171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277671336836839009.post-9380787820690592532015-11-24T10:18:16.519-08:002015-11-24T10:18:16.519-08:00I have been aware of this pattern for a long time,...I have been aware of this pattern for a long time, so it is interesting to see it made up. I like the fabric mix. I wonder is it one hour to draft the pattern, or one hour to make the dress up? And how long did it actually take?Fabrickatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697025016425085142noreply@blogger.com
