Thank u so much for this tutorial!!!! I'm a bit confused on the measurements of the skirt and the shirred piece do u mind telling it to me in inches pls? Thank u so much for this tutorial I love it!!

[@Tammy.Handmade]

Hi! You need to take the measurements yourself on your own body and calculate (shown at 0:31) x

[@daisymv3828]

Great tutorial!to attach bodice to skirt you use elastic or regular thread on the bobbin?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

Thank you! I used regular thread, as you will want to stretch the fabric back to the original length as you sew it together ❤️

[@daisymv3828]

@@Tammy.Handmade Thank you!!👍🏼

[@judithbrothwell6730]

Great tutorial, thanks. What interval do you do the shirring at please?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

I would do them at 1cm intervals but you can adjust this to your preference ❤️

[@judithbrothwell6730]

@@Tammy.Handmade Thanks

[@AlexDesise]

I have a few questions! 1) do you pull the fabric completely taught while actually shirring or is it a semi pull with a little slack? 2) is it ok to use lightweight cotton instead of viscose? 3) is it possibile to make this without an overlock? If yes, do I just straight stich or would a zigzag be better? 4) can this be made into a normal top instead of a dress? I'm a beginner and have sewn many things not many clothes and don't have an overlock. Any answer would be amazing. ❤

[@Tammy.Handmade]

Hi! I pull the fabric taught when shirring and yes you can use a cotton or linen. Any woven fabric would be good for this. If you don’t have an overlocker I would use a zig-zag stitch on your sewing machine because it needs to stretch. To make this into a normal top you simply just need to make the rectangle how ever long you want the top to be and have the shirring lines go from the top to the bottom ❤️

[@AlexDesise]

@@Tammy.Handmade thank you so much! Sorry for the million questions. Im just afraid of viscose. 😂❤️ Can't wait to try this out!

[@alexandriaray8079]

Hi Do u have to use a presser foot?

[@CharmHartman-ju2tg]

Tammy, I have a daughter and would love to make dresses just like that! What size fabrics do I need to buy in her size 12-14 junior. Happy sewing!

[@mwambachitumbo6497]

Nice

[@Tammy.Handmade]

Thank you x

[@MarinaY12356]

For the top piece don’t you mean bust size instead of hip size?

[@tiyakeira972]

When I put my shirring thread in the bobbin, it just wouldn't smoothly come out of the bobbin case, even though I loosened the screw. Do you have any advice?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

It’s meant to be quite tight when you put in the bobbin case, you’ll need to pull it. It never comes out smoothly when I put elastic thread in the bobbin. I think that’s normal x

[@karenbensdon4643]

Beautiful dress. How did you determine the width of the bodice piece that got shirred?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

at 0:31 I share the measurements x

[@SparkyOne549]

What is the shrinkage % after Shirring?

[@Sewing_st.albans]

@@Tammy.Handmade how do you work out the height of the top?

[@exploreruniverse3463]

Will using elastic thread on bobbin spoil the sewing machine?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

No it won’t! That’s how you need to sew with elastic thread x

[@tsheringgurung6893]

Hi I am having trouble I bought a dress with this type of back but for some reason it doesn't fit well how do I downsize it?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

You can simply take it in at the side seams if it’s too large. It’s it’s too small you may need to add in side panels x

[@BADRUBULDURA]

😊😊😊😊

[@amparosaucedo2427]

Hello… will this still work if I do get stretchy fabric?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

Hi! Yes you can definitely try this with stretch fabric, you might not need the shirring depending on how much stretch your fabric has x

[@sarahc6300]

Hi might sound thick, but size hip I get +2 but x1.5 so say 50 inch hip would mean a length of 125?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

No at all! So you would do 50 + 2 = 52 x 1.5 = 75. So your rectangle should be 75 inches wide. If you’re short on fabric you can divide this number in half and cut out two pieces and join them together to be 75 inches wide in total ❤️

[@SparkyOne549]

What tension settings did you change?

[@MorganMcCallum-v6l]

Hi, can’t seem to see this pattern in your store?

[@JacquelinePeacock-g4s]

Hi, if you have the top piece of fabric (hips) 105cm + seam allowance of 1.5 cm each side = 108cm x 1.5 = 162cm, then have the skirt in two pieces (1/2 hips) 52.5cm + seam allowance of 1.5cm each side = 55.5cm x2 108 cm it doesnt match the length of the shirred section, so how do you attach them both without tucking the shirred section on itself, and the skirt section would be tight around the hips if it simply the circumference of the hips plus seam allowance. Am I being daft here?

[@alexist.5598]

Definitely give yourself extra inches for hips etc. I always have a hard time with this as well.

[@meisekohl8765]

👍

[@miriamlusser7862]

I am from Europa, how do you calculate the measurements there, what does 2" means and x 1,5?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

Hi 2” means 2 inches. If it says x 1.5 that means to multiply the number by 1.5, so you’ll need to calculate your own measurements. ❤️

[@keykeylowe6919]

How much fabric is needed

[@Tammy.Handmade]

This depends on the length of the dress you’d like! I would get 2 metres x

[@rahman6715]

Its so pretty.,😍👌.....but measurements are not clear.... Can you please once again give the hight and length of top and bottom part???

[@PaolaIvelySilva]

I would like to know the tension and length of the stitch when sewing with the elastic. I’ve tried to do this but it never works, my bobin just unwinds itself. ☹️

[@gaynormainwaring1853]

I don’t understand why you had to make the bodice separate from the skirt. Couldn’t you just start with a longer piece of fabric and just shirr the top section?

[@Tammy.Handmade]

You definitely could do this method also! I have another more recent video showing exactly that method! The thumbnail is a pink shirred dress xx

[@alexist.5598]

I'm glad you showed two sections because every video I've seen shows a rectangle and then shirring on the top which gives you a tight fitting skirt and I was looking for a big poofy skirt. If I made my dress bigger my bodice would be too big but it I made it smaller it wouldn't fit around hips. I think making the bodice and then adding to a skirt with a lot of extra material should help me make a poofy dress

[@lnngiri]

How much do know the measurements of the top

[@huzaifaalmohimed2258]

👍💚💚💚

[@alexist.5598]

Could you have sewed the dress and bodice into circles AND then pinned and sewed to each other in a circle? Just curious because i feel that way would be easier for me and i want a very full and poofy skirt part

[@LaLaLalalala-uc3hz]

Misleading Title--but cute dress.

[@Tammy.Handmade]

How is it misleading?

[@enea6490]

I don’t think you do a very good job of explaining the measurements. The bodice and skirt width measurements don’t line up.

[@ro-fz1jt]

Um you did use a sewing machine so your title thatsays no sew is misleading and false quit LYING TO PEOPLE

[@Tammy.Handmade]

lol read the title properly! It says ‘no sewing pattern’
