[@aparna1338]

Thanks a lot…..your tutorial is so clean n precise….may I check with you ….,can we increase the length the of the sleeve?if so every measurement will be the same taken from the sleeve side?

[@CocoziniDIY]

Yes you can increase the sleeve measurements. Depending on the style you want to sew, you may have to add a bit to the armhole so the sleeves can move freely if it’s longer.

I'm not sure which part exactly you need help explaining. Here is what I did. I used an interlock machine to finish the edges. You can also use the zig zag stitch on your machine if your machine has one.

[@bossbaexena1515]

With the folding,did you leave any one inch before starting the whole thing please?? Or you folded everything equally and started work ?

[@CocoziniDIY]

No I did not leave one inch. I folded everything equally. The neck is a boat neck and fits perfectly so I didn’t have to add an inch at the back. I would have added an inch at the back bodice if I wanted to add zippers. I hope that helps.

[@bossbaexena1515]

@@CocoziniDIY I watched the video from the beginning and I think the part where you said “was on fold” skipped me. I was finally able to do it and the result was amazing and so easy🥰🥰. Thank you and keep been amazing ma’am 🤗

Not sure if you have a video on this subject and I'm unaware but my concern is weather you can make a video on how to purchase fabric, as you know that fabric comes in different width so based on the width and our measurements we can have an idea as to how much fabric we need for the project. I know this may sound challenging but you're the expert

[@CocoziniDIY]

Oh okay. I can do that. I've gotten few questions on this. So I will definitely do a video on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
