I love this style. I think I will add a ruffle to the top of the strap — I’m 80 years old!
Looks adorable. I may make this into a long formal dress – love the idea of adding a ruffle to the sleeves!!
Holaa
How do you “finish the armseye”? We need a little more detail!
Sew right sides together of self and lining bodices at armholes, understitch both seam allowances and lining, trim down seam allowances or clip to release the curve before flipping right sides out. Iron the armholes afterward from right sides.
This is really nice. I’m a beginner so this will be a bit of a challenge. I’d like to add a sleeve. What sort of adjustment would I need to make to the armhole?
Hello, you wouldn’t need to make any changes to the armhole, just make sure that the cap of the sleeve fits when setting in a sleeve.
Quisiera el patron pero no consigo como descargarlo
Hello, you can contact patterns@moodfabrics.com for any issues
Hi, I’m a beginner and would like some more info regarding the peplum. Is it lined and how does it get connected to the top part? And how is the hem finished on the top?
Thank you!
Hello Simone, the peplum is the only pattern piece that is not lined. You can sew a basting stitch to the top of the peplum, 1/4″ SA, once the pleats are in place. Pin the top of the peplum to the bottom of the top, right sides together, and sew with 1/2″ SA. Finish the bottom of the peplum by creating a rolled hem 1/4″.
Les coutures sont elles comprises dans le patron ? Merci beaucoup. Le modèle est magnifique
Bonjour, les patrons ont une marge de couture de 1/2″ incluse.
I would like to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU to all the persons who have make these magnificent designs and a wonderful website available to a poor island girl like me, who can sew but can not draft a pattern to save my life!!!!!! Big up and Nuff respect.
Lovely, but can you explain how to finish the armscyes (step #5)?
Sew right sides together of self and lining bodices at armholes, understitch both seam allowances and lining, trim down seam allowances or clip to release the curve before flipping right sides out. Iron the armholes afterward from right sides.
Magnifique. Les coutures sont elles comprises dans le patron et si oui de quelle taille ? Merci
Bonjour, les patrons ont une marge de couture de 1/2 pouce incluse
This is an adorable outfit, and it’s silly to argue with FREE. But the instructions are sparse and confusing. In attaching the lining to the top, I suggest leaving the side seams open, then sewing the armholes before carefully aligning seams to sew the sides.. If you sew the sides first, then it’s a struggle to align right sides together to sew the armholes. In my opinion.
Completely agree! Also, the top doesn’t need a zipper. It easily slips on over the head.
Hello,
Would this be a good pattern for a beginner?
Hello, since this pattern is sewn with a lining, we recommend it for intermediate sewers. If you omit the lining it will be much easier to sew.
Traen margen de costuras los patrones?
Hola Reyes, Todos nuestros patrones incluyen un margen de costura de 1/2 ″.
Don’t know if it’s me who did something wrong, but the neckline is way too open and falls over the shoulders. Otherwise, really nice top. It is the square cutout as shown on the pattern. I added sleeves and a button closure at the back instead, it works really well
Just need to make the neckline less open next time.
Queria saber si tiene centimetro o medida de costura incluida?
media pulgada esta incluida en medida de costura
