You are a genius! Your tutorial was excellent. I love the finished look of adding a bias binding to the hem! Very neat work! 🥰

Thanks so much Ellen, so glad you enjoyed this video. 😃 Xx

I made sure to save this video for future reference. Linings used to intimidate me but after doing a couple, they aren't too bad. Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@sewlittletime]

Thank you Dawn, I'm glad you found it useful ☺️. I'm just getting ready to film part 2 as I've now got the skirt attached to the bodice, so I'm ready to put the zip in. It's a really lovely pattern...I'm pleased with how it's looking so far xx

Thanks Ellen, so glad it was clear ☺️ xx

[@RoddardUK]

Thank you so much for showing how to pull the back bits through the shoulders. So many videos skip this part, and it’s quite scary to think of doing that if the shoulders are narrow. Reassuring to know that it is possible!

[@sewlittletime]

Aww you're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful for you ☺️ xx

[@KTquiltsandsews]

That was brilliant Karen! Thanks so very much for taking your time to show us this. One of my first fabric purchases is quite thin so I will either need to line it or use it for a light see through knit cardigan :)

[@carolsutton1669]

Lovely tutorial and love what your wearing. Is it me made?

[@sewlittletime]

Thanks so much Carol, glad you liked it. Yes my dress is the Noor Wrap dress by Fabrics Store. I've put a link to the pattern in the description box. I omitted the sleeves and bias bound the armholes. It's a free pattern to download too xx

[@angelajackson6801]

Great tutorial. Love the fabric. Where did you buy it?

[@sewlittletime]

Thanks so much, glad it was useful. The fabric was from flamingo fabrics a few years ago now, but they might still have it as I know they were selling it for quite awhile xx

[@nelliefoo5566]

Lovely fabric and thank you for the video! I am yet to pick up sewing a dress. Usually what type of fabric is used as lining may I know? Thanks

[@sewlittletime]

Thank you, I love the fabric too, it's so happy ☺️. I would say it depends on the fabric you are using for the outside of the dress...but usually something lightweight like a cotton lawn would work perfectly. For this dress I'm making I've just used some old curtain lining which is a lightweight cotton. You can sometimes use the same fabric for your lining as for your outer fabric, but it would depend on the thickness, as you don't want to add too much bulk. Hope that helps xx
