A tip for you guys about the Shirring: when you close the side seam on whatever garment you are making (bodice, sleeve), sew the elastic tread in a spiral way all lines at once, start at one line on top or bottom, then when you finish the circle of the first line, instead of stopping, removing the garment, pulling out, cut the thread, putting back in, starting all over, and repeat, you just make a move from one line to another without cutting the tread, just continuing sewing, making a ''sliding''(? lol) to the next line non stopping, and then make a spiral. Get it? This way you don't have to cut the tread everytime or stop sewing everytime and turn the piece :) oh and at the end, when ironing, the ''slide'' will be no noticible, since the fabric shrinks and you will be using a thread that is the same color of the fabric. (i hope it makes sense what i say, i don't write english that well, and writing things it is harder to visualize than showing in a video, but i tried to describe the best i could)
Question: When doing the spirals, how the "sliding" is made? Going diagonally or along the side seam with angles, or lifting the foot and going to the next line? Me too, English is not my language.
So basically when you reach the end of a row of shirring, you would keep the needle in the fabric, lift presser foot, pivot fabric, put presser foot and sew to the next line, pivot again and make your next row. I don't like doing this because it will also pull up on the fabric due to using elastic thread to get to each row. I don't recommend this.
this is how I do my shirring too!! so much faster, and you don't lose tension on the bobbin this way
Janelle always explains and displays what she is doing so clearly. There is never anything fussy or complicated, and she makes it all look so easy. She is very good at what she does!
Thanks so much! That means a lot and is so lovely to hear 🧡 x
You took me back to the seventies. Simple, comfy, quick ,practical but easily styled up maxi version was more me.
I love watching your videos and am so impressed by them. Therefore I'm so happy that I can finally give you a hint. When you're using your seam ripper to open a button hole, put a pin in the other end of the buttonhole (before you rip). That will stop you tearing any further than you mean to. :)
Great tip!! I use a buttonhole cutter to open the buttonhole but this tip is excellent. I know many people use their seam ripper instead.
It's lovely!
I did not know that either ! Thank you :3
I love the floral print and the milk maid design. I was wondering if you make your own name labels or anything like that to put on your wardrobe? Or not really? Lol. Thank you for another cool video 😄😁
Omg you read my mind! I've been wanting something like this for some new fabric I bought, and I was all "nah, I'll wait until Rosery Apparel posts something that'll suit" and wow, it's been ONE DAY since I bought the fabric and you've already delivered!
Oh yay, perfect timing! Have fun making your dress 🧡 x
Fantastic dress I definitely need more dresses tutorials without darts as I’m still learning so I’m so grateful for this tutorial 🌸
Love love LOVE this! Especially the fabric and the gathers.
Looks just gorgeous! I hope I'll learn enough over the winter that I'll be able to sew it for myself next spring or summer!
What a beautiful dress - it really highlights the lovely vintage fabric.
I love it! ❤️ Another project of yours that doesn’t require pattern! And this definitely saves lots of time
I love all the autumn-colored clothes you wore & hung in the beginning of the video ❤️
That turned out really nicely! And you are very good at showing how you do! May I suggest that you put a little bit of interfacing behind the fabric befor you make the buttonhole? Alternatively a bit of scrap fabric. It will make it all neater and less risk of fraying in the wash. Another suggestion if one is a bit nervous about shirring is to just make another casing for an elastic instead.
Great tips! Thank you 🧡
Thanks for this tip! I want to make this, but am very intimidated about the shirring.
Absolutely gorgeous and that material is amazing
Perfection! This fabric was made for you. I love how the colors perfectly compliment your wardrobe!😍
One of my favourite fabric purchases this year 😍
This is my next project! You always make such beautiful things - and you look amazing wearing them. Thank you for another fabulous tutorial, I always look forward to watching them xxx
Love how simply the sleeves are attached!
Such a wonderful dress! Thank you for sharing your talent!
This dress is absolutely adorable! One of the best tutorials Ive seen. Thank you!
Hi Janelle, the fabric you used was an amazing find. It reminds me of fabrics and wallpaper from when I was growing up. The colours are just perfect on you. Have a lovely week and enjoy the warming spring weather.
I love that you can customize this. I have stayed away from the milkmaid patterns because of my bust size. I am on the larger size but saw that you tried it on and checked to see where the shirring should begin under the bust. Brilliant! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stunning and simply beautiful tutorial, just love the colour and fabric. Your instructions are soo easy to understand thank you Janelle for sharing another amazing video. Looking forward to the next one. I'm unable to sew at the moment but can't wait to start again. Remain blessed xxx
Wow another great dress without a pattern. Such a lovely design. Suitable for all levels of experience. Thank you for sharing. X

This dress is sooo cute. Thanks. I will try it. Blessed be.
Omg thank you for this tutorial. I bought a dress identical to this one but it's out of stock and there wont be any more made. I always get compliments on it when I wear it and I want to make more!
I can't wait to make this. Now I have a good reason to go and buy silk or a silk-cotton blend
Thanks for the great tutorial! I just made this dress at 35 weeks pregnant and it is super comfy now and I think will work well after pregnancy too!
Congrats on baby and yes, it is wonderful to have clothing with elastic!
I love the fabric you’ve chosen. I’m also soooo nervous to cut when I do a project 😬
This is such a cute dress!
I love that fabric you had that’s great fabric I’d be scared to cut it too but it turned out absolutely beautiful great job
Love this. Have to make it for this hot weather we're having in SA🇿🇦
Looks adorable
This is so cute, Thankyou for sharing
Super pretty and perfect 🥰
Brilliant, thanks Janelle! I’m going to make one for my daughter. I’ll follow the video up to about 12 minutes and then put some straps on I think. Recovering from Covid and haven’t been near my sewing machine for over a week! 😔 This will be a nice simple project to have a go at. ☺️🥰 Deb xx
Yes, it’s super customisable which is great 😍 I hope you’re feeling better soon Deb xx
It's so pretty!!!!!
hello, wahou il love this dress ! thank you for your sharing, your explanations are very clear !
I've bought commercial patterns to try and make something like this that were overly complicated and confusing. Thank you so much for making this, I'm excited to make my own.
This is so great!
Que linda, amei o vídeo ensinando a fazer o vestido, muito bem explicado. Beijo ♡
Hi Janelle, this takes me back to my teens (in the 70s). When I began creating my own clothes, rectangles were my best friend 😁
That fabric is just gorgeous! No doubt this pretty dress will be on high rotation this summer.
I'm sure many of your viewers will join you thanks to your excellent tutorial.
Love this! I’m so excited for it to warm up here so I can wear it everyday! 😍

Thank you 🧡
That is a very pretty dress.
I enjoyed this so so much thank you ❤
Beautiful.
This is a great tutorial and the first one I could truly grasp. Have been wanting to make a dress like this for years and now I can!
I have a suggestion and a few questions.
Suggestion:
Use interfacing or another piece of fabric at buttonhole for stability.
Questions:
1. Why only 1 buttonhole for the tie?
2. Why don't you press your seams open?
3. What is the advantage to using CM instead of IN? I myself hate CM LOL.
My questions are out of pure curiosity, no rudeness intended. I just love to understand how people think when it comes to sewing projects so I can improve on my skills.
Excellent video! Thank you
You are a really genius!
Amazing, thank you so much!
Beautiful 😊
ok i will try thanks for your help
Love it.
You had me at ‘plus with pockets’ 😂
Omg I have the exact same bodkin. It is amazing!!!
A game changer for sure! 🙌🏻
