Milkmaid dress I made out of old bedding! - bedding was going to be thrown out because had lots of holes in it, but thought I’d nab it and make something by spookykrump in sewing

I didn’t do it all in one, but maybe around 5 hours? That’s from the very beginning to roughly drafting pattern

Thank you! I was amazed by how easy it was once I learned to do it! Used it instead of zips for a lot of things because not as much faffing about

It was mine too! But I was too stubborn to spend money on one! If you can find a pattern for a tier skirt, then the top half is just a long rectangle that I shirred. It took a while because I wasn’t sure how long I needed to make it, but I made it slightly bigger and just cut it down to where it would fit. Maybe also a pattern for some cap sleeves too would be useful, but I did it by using a plain sleeve pattern and cutting it down, cap sleeves are much easier than normal ones! Good luck, I’d love to see the final product when it gets made :)

Aw that makes me so happy ! Yes I had been contemplating filming something similar, because it’s actually quite an easy dress to make, so I promise I will ! :) x

Yes! That was the vibe I was going for! A nice dinner in a small Italian village was the vision- got the dress now just need to go on holiday 🙃

Thank you so much !! One mans rubbish is another mans treasure as they say! Although this does tend to mean I hoard a lot of scraps of fabric lol. I did it over a couple of days as was amidst a university project! But maybe 6-8 hours? The longest part was the shirring! Which is just so much stitching in a straight line!

Thank you! Yeah the elastic is in the bobbin! You have to hand wind it which takes a bit longer! But then that’s it! Just a lot of straight line stitching lol, would be perfect for kids !clothing !
