DIY SHIRRED DRESS|| Easy Dressmaking Technique

How I made this simple Spring Shirred dress from deadstock fabric. DIY Shirred dress tutorial.
This week I am using shirring to create a super simple dress shape that looks a lot more technical. This is the perfect project if you're a sewing beginner who wants to start making their own clothes.
It's a really simple technique that does not require any complicated pattern cutting or technical sewing knowledge, just lots of patience with the shirring.
Although this dress is an ideal maternity dress I plan on wearing it for many summers to come as well.

Hi thanks for the sharing video, it has inspired me to have a go. I notice you're using the Singer Heavy Duty machine. I sell the machines and one common problem is customers using the wrong bobbins, it causes poor stitching, poor bobbin feed etc and can ultimately damage the machine. Just a bit if advice in return ... I noticed you are using a metal bobbin and you shouldn't be. Singer products are slightly different to any other brand. The machine came with plastic bobbins, so you should stick with SINGER plastic bobbins. The wrong bobbin I'm the wrong bobbin casing can cause a lot of trouble; poor stitching, poor feed of thread and damage to your machine, especially caused by metal bobbins. I would highly recommend you stick with Singer branded plastic bobbins. Thanks again for the video I'm going to have a play.
