Smocked Dress Quilt
I need a FREE sewing pattern for a smock/dress thing!!! Advice and guidelines also helpful?
I’m about 5’2”, I need the skirt to come down about mid-calf… How much fabric should I purchase? I’m a VERY novice sewer, having down just a little quilting YEARS ago.
If there are sleeves, can you show me how to cut them to mid-forearm or higher?
If worse comes to worst, I’ll just have it like a pullover, with a slit for the neck and tie it round my middle, which i’m planning on doing anway… Halloween costume, Niva Rosethorn from Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic books, if that helps you at all. it’s supposed to be her Earth Temple Habbit, I already have a belt/girdle and the hat.
Other ideas open to other suggestions/ideas/POINTERS too, thanks so very much for your help.
Go to a thrift store, find something similiar, or something that can be cut down to what you want. For what you want a long t-shirt/nightshirt might work. You can get it for $1-$2.
Using yourself as a mannekin, have somebodymark what needs to be done. Cut here and add there.
Mark any lines you need to cut your sample up. Make any cuts you will need.
Place your pattern on whatever fabric you will be using, pin it down to keep it from moving around. Trace around your the pattern, adding about a half inch around it, and draw in any extra features you want to add..
Cut out your new pattern , sew up, and add whatever you need to it..
OR while at the Thrift store, just by something similiar, and go to a fabric/craft store to get accesories to make it into whatever you need.
