- This weeks DIY is a knit wrap dress. I‘ll explain the pattern construction process in detail and sew the piece with you step by step.
The fabric is a synthetic knit that has a ribbed texture to resemble the hand-knitted dress on the inspiration picture. I used 2.5 meters.
I drafted the bodice slopers with the help of a tutorial. Learn how draft your own bodice block with this blog post by In the Folds: inthefolds.com... (unsponsored, it's just a really great tutorial).

Thank you. I have been looking for a complete tutorial for a wrap dressnow you made look like super easy to make ❤
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Love the miniature patter explanation! Very useful 💯
Thanks Patricia! ✨
I'm the type of person who takes ages to remember to subscribe to channels I like but this was immediate. Love the miniature drafting demo
Thank you so much, that's very sweet :)
I Love love how you explained the pattern of this dress please keep on doing that in all the videos it's amazing I understood everything and actually am going to buy fabrics and make it
Thanks for the feedback Eman, glad you found it useful 👍
beautiful dress, I love the new method to pattern, so I can better understand what you do😁
I‘m happy you liked it Karen! 🙏
That was very interesting, and the dress turned out lovely.
Thank you Marilyn 🙏
That was amazing, genius!!,
Thank you! ✨🥰
Beautiful dress! Interesting way of using bias tape, but the outcome was very good. I open up the tape and sew along the seam then fold in towards the back and attach the other side. I have a similar fabric in my stash,I might make this dress today! Well done.
Great tip! Thank you so much :)
what a great tutorial! 💕
Thank you Fiona 🧡
Please recreate the Rouge Gavin dress. It’s similar to this but with a more summery look. Please! 😊💐
I am working on a new sewing pattern at the moment which, visually, falls into that ballpark. There's a design vlog up right now where you can follow along if you're interested ☺️ ua-cam.com/video/qjVY3fEQRn0/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot, I’ll check it out. I’m new to your channel and find it very useful. Great job! New subscriber too 😊👍
Great way of teaching! thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the tutorial ❤
You’re welcome 😊 thank you for watching!
It turned out so nice! Really want to make this now, I have a thin Jersey in my stash but it might not be sturdy enough to look nice 🤔
It depends on what you want it to look like! Jersey will definitely work for a wrap dress but it’ll be a different feel than this very structured one ☺️
You've got such great videos, so surprised to find you have so few subscribers, I'm definitely sticking around though!
Welcome aboard! I appreciate it ☺️
Did you keep the same measurements from the bodice block even though the fabric is stretchy? Thanks for the video! 😊
Hi! If I remember correctly (it’s been a while!) I kept the measurements the same. But there’s always some tweaks during the fitting process, so it’s possible I took in the sides at some point! Hope this helps :)
What a great tutorial !
Thank you! You attach one strap at the end of the side that wraps under and one at the end of the side that wraps over. You fiddle one through a hole you leave in the waist on the opposite side seam (which side is up to you) This way you can tie it together. Hope that makes sense!
Hey hey! Wondering what brand and name of this fabric is? I wonder if they sell in the US??
I bought this in a small shop in London, unfortunately the fabric didn’t come with a name/brand on it so I‘m afraid I can’t help! I‘m sure you’ll find something similar 🙏
@@ThrillsandStitches bummer. Is it a double knit? Seems like it’s pretty stable…and it’s ribbed on one side only or both? I’m sure I could find something similar
@@SouthernMims it’s ribbed on one side only and stretches in the perpendicular direction to the ribs, which is funny! It’s pretty stable but still soft. I feel like I‘ve seen sports hoodies in a similar fabric before.
Did you create a whole in the side seam of the bodice to put through the underlying strap?
Yes! I think if I remember correctly I created a rectangular button hole with the side seam in the center to give it more support - at least it’s what I think I did, and it sounds like a good idea.
