Hello everyone! I'm back after a two-week-uploading-hiatus filled with fabric shopping, sewing, editing, and coming up with new content ideas. This week we're making a linen summer maxi dress in charcoal black - the top has a shirred/smocked effect (but isn't really), and cute little details like ruffles at the hem and a pretty ribbon at the neckline make it stand out. 01:58 The pattern 03:08 Prepping the ruffles 03:34 Prepping the top 04:20 Joining top and skirt 05:16 Elasticating the top 09:37 Adding the ruffles to the skirt 14:06 A short strap-making conundrum 15:11 Adding the ribbon 16:17 Closing the center back 17:47 Creating the tie straps 18:50 Final look I am using the Brother Innov-Is A16 sewing machine (it's new ♡) and a Brother overlocker. ~ Would love to connect with you ~ I’m Elisa and I'm passionate about fashion and try to bring my designs to life on my machines. Attempting to show you how I make them here on Youtube, tutorial-style. Let’s learn together ♡ Thanks for watching!
