I'm trying to start a simple sew along DIYs for beginners.
Little things we can do at home by ourselves that wouldn't take so much time to make.
It could be anything.

I anticipated starting in 2 to 3 weeks depending on responses. I will be uploading my projects on my blog and some here too. But anyone that has anything to share can please share with us here.

Here is my blog.

Thanks for starting this thread. I am about to embark on a dress project too. I am a novice. I am just getting my stuff together. And i think this is the best thread for me, since it is new. I have just purchased 3 metres of lace and cream satin. And i have done sketches of the dress i am planning to sew.

Measurements would depend on what exactly you intend making. What is it you are measuring for?

So Here are the materials needed for the project.

For this sew along, I advice using Knit or jersey fabric/material. Its very easy to manipulate especially for beginners.


Make sure when laying the fabric down for cutting you put the grain line together. Grain lines are the finished sides of fabrics.

I will be adding more photos as we sew along.

Look for a vest and put it on, mark where you want the off shoulder to start and the two hands.

Then lay it on the fabric. trace it out with a chalk starting from the marked sleeve just like shown in the photo.

If you have any questions or comment, you can put it in the link below. Also if you have any suggestions you can put it there too.

Add extra length to the length of the top. The extra length will be how long you want your dress to be.
Then pin the sides together and sew.

If you have any question add your comment here.
