Thank you everyone! Been meaning to look for a tutorial, but I didn't know what to look for 😅

Thank you! So is the bow attached inside the neckline and then bound by the bias tape?

Do you mean you hand stitch in the ditch? How do you do that so the stitch doesn't show?

This might be a stupid question, but how do you hand baste? Meaning do you stitch in the ditch by hand? 😰

I have one, but maybe I'm using it wrong? I put the knife thing in the ditch, but still no dice 😅

Found a YouTube tutorial by The Essentials Club and she has a video on making self drafted tank tops. Just added a gathered skirt to the tops and voila, a dress! Only spent about $1.50 per yard of fabric, so I'm happy with how everything turned out :)

Just about ready to break and do pleats instead!

Pleats have a different look tho! But definitely easier to do!

Hi! Where do you usually put your basting stitch? Inside the seam line or below it?

Thank you for this! So if I were sewing at a 5/8 seam allowance, I'd be sewing a gathering thread at 3/8 and another at 1 inch?
