WATCH THIS before you sew a basic Shift Dress: feat. Cadence Top and Dress from Love Notions

[@sharyncrawford3419]

My favorite hacks are from Karina at “Lifting Pins and Needles” She’s my absolute favorite sewing person on KZbin! Such Beautiful Cadences and really everything she makes is so inspiring!

[@sewlovemydogs]

I couldn’t agree more, she’s brilliant.

[@LoveNotions]

We agree! ~K

I love the cadence made a sleeveless maxi muslin which I am now wearing everyday (washes and dries in a couple of hours in the heat) the sewing tutorials and instructions were great. The navy on you looks super duper. I have a couple of navy viscoses watch this space….🎉

[@LoveNotions]

Your maxi sounds beautiful! ~K

[@suewilbur504]

Wow, I hadn’t thought of using the burrito method for armscyes - genius!!!

[@4my4blessings]

I agree! Brilliant!

[@LoveNotions]

It gives any sleeveless garment such a nice finish! ~K

[@Escape10mom]

I've made 3 of these shift type dresses & absolutely love them. I've made a couple of Cadence tops too. I just made another top with the tied puffed sleeves I borrowed from the Ballad Blouse!

[@LoveNotions]

Wonderful! We love all your Cadence makes that you've shared in the FB group! ~K

[@lynnshepard7485]

You’ve given such great inspiration for the Cadence! Thank you. 😊

[@LoveNotions]

You’re so welcome! Happy sewing!

[@MrsBand22]

I’ve made 1 Cadence and I love it. I just splurged on some woven fabric to make more.

[@LoveNotions]

Awesome! So glad to hear you’re loving it!

[@kabsikins1790]

Love this pattern made it twice as a short sleeve maxi. Love the tips to change it up a bit

[@LoveNotions]

So glad you love it! ☺️ ~J

Great video! I made a “wearable” muslin of the sleeveless top last summer. I wanted to learn and practice the burrito method and other parts of the construction. Many lessons were learned. Was it wearable? No! The bust darts were way to high for my body. Now to figure that out and try again. Next time it will be a real muslin, just basic seams, easier to pick out if adjustments need to be made. When will I learn?🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@LoveNotions]

The good thing is that you mentioned many lessons were learned! Keep practicing! You are on the right track! ~K

I have made three Cadence tops; 1 with the bishop sleeve, 2 short sleeved and 1 one has the notch neck, which lies really nicely. I made all three in rayon challis. I have more fabric to make a dress very soon.

[@LoveNotions]

Those all sound perfect! ~K

[@Shawnieb]

Hi! Wonderful video and I love all the patterns! I am in search of more resources for stretch woven material like the overpriced sportswear in stores. Where do you source yours from?

I've had this pattern for awhile and need to sew it soon! Your navy one is beautiful; I like the amount of ease in it--it looks like it would be very cool for summer. Would I be able to make the dress length with "quilting" cottons or cotton (or poly/cotton) aloha prints (weight is very similar to quilting cotton)? Thanks for sharing all the links and tips!

[@LoveNotions]

I think you could! Just be aware that the drape of a quilters cotton with be very structured - and not nearly as fluid as something like a rayon challis. but many have sewn this pattern in quilters cotton :)

[@marlenede-abel1336]

Beautiful dress - did you say where you bought your fabric from?

[@LoveNotions]

This fabric was from @surgefabricshop

[@teresaberra2840]

I thought you mentioned something about adding a lining in the video. I see the link about facings but I need help with how to line the dress.

[@LoveNotions]

Oh you’re right! My #1 Favorite way to sew a Lining! (for Sonata Dress Sewing Pattern & lightweight woven patterns) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5KZp4FposSkn8k

[@crunchysoulster]

Hello! Thank you for this video. I just bought the pattern. But the sewalong does not appear to be live yet. The link you shared goes to a sew along for the boyfriend cardigan.

[@LoveNotions]

Oh weird! I will get that link fixed but here is the link to all our sewalong series - you can click on the tab with Cadence on it :) www.lovenotions.com/sewalong-landing

Where did you buy the woven stretch fabric?

[@LoveNotions]

It's the Florence stretch woven from Surge Fabric Shop. I don't know if they still carry it but they have lots of amazing fabrics that would be perfect! ~J
