Dolly Sewalong Diaries: Shift Dress Entry #2

Entry #2

Dear Dolly Friends,

Today we’re preparing the material.

I started by cutting the paper pattern, than I traced the pattern onto the outer and lining fabric.

After that I cut the fabric pieces.

I had to be very careful when cutting the lining piece because I noticed it shifting as I was cutting.

I finished the day by adding fray check to the edges of both pieces.

Dritz Fray Check is quite messy and spreads 🙁

I skipped the applique step, my hand sewing skills aren’t that great, yet.

If you’re adding embroidery/applique to your dress, this is the day to apply the decorations.

We’ll share your Diary Entry and image in the post!

Diary Entry From:

I resized the pattern to 85% for my Middie.

Then I cut out the paper pattern and since my chosen fabric was not wide enough to accommodate the whole pattern, divided the pattern at the shoulder.

I decided not to applique since the fabric I chose (vintage yukata remnant) is just so lovely and bright by itself.

I treated the edges with fray check.gurliebot

The yukata remnant is soo beautiful ?. Keep up the great work. -Kat & Tatyana

    Just wanted to say that June Taylor Fray Block tends to dry a bit more clear and a lot less crispy than fray check.

      Hi Bobbi,

      Thank you for the recommendation!

      It’s great to hear that there is an alternative to Dritz.

      I’m looking forward to giving it a try.
