I’m 48 yrs old, have been sewing since I was 5 yrs old. We used to make these by hand when I was a teenager. We used to sew these by hand. It’s amazing how it has come back out.

I've made a shirt on my own like this and got stumped at the shoulders making the casing. I'm glad you addressed this as my next one will be much better! I do think attaching the elastic at both ends and feeding it through the back will be a nicer front!

I don't sew but my mother has for 40 years! I still want to learn & no she won't teach me. She can make Anything & has more clothes than anyone I've ever known (has her fabric shipped back) after shopping out of town. I still have nightmares from being in the fabric store all day as a kid. Lol. This still makes me want to learn though.

@Mimi G Style I luv this idea and am definitely going to try it. I have a question though. If you wanted to add a bow on the back, how would you go about adding the piece, using the top of the shirt that you cut off, so no fabric is wasted. Looking forward to your answer. Thanks

OK, being new to sewing clothes I am having an issue with the "pleat area". Once you sew the inch down and go to sew the 5/8" all the way around to make the casing for the elastic, how exactly do you pass the elastic where the pleats were done because now that area is "sealed off" due to the 1" stitch I did?? Any help is greatly appreciated as I love your videos! I see a few other people had the same issue in the comments below, but there was never a reply. Please HELP!
@fala20067 жыл бұрын
Theresa Johnson I was confused at first but if you watch it carefully at 3:05 you can see that she didn't seal if off and you can still get through.
@lisathomas30826 жыл бұрын
Theresa Johnson / you have to"go behind "the pleat. When you push the elastic thru you may hit the stitching. Just feel around with the pin to find the opening. Good luck.
