  • Sewing McCalls 8177 - Lined princess seamed dress
    #sewing #howtosew #sewingtutorial
    Hi Everyone and Welcome Back To My Bucolic Life Channel. Meet my new sewing tutorial.
    This time I have sewn a princess seamed dress with a really tricky fabric, so I have lined it with a stronger broadcloth lining. This video includes instructions on altering a princess seamed garment to your own body shape, creating new pattern pieces based on these shapes and creating a lining in a button up dress, when one is not included in the commercial pattern. I hope you like it!

    I enjoy your videos so much. I especially enjoy seeing some of the nifty tools you have that I have not seen before. I when I was younger I made most of my own clothes because back then I could not find plus size outfits that I felt was for my age. Things did change and because of work and children I got away from it for years. I am retired now and I am in the process of gathering patterns and fabric and I plan to try my hand at it again. Your buttonhole attachment brought back memories-my Mama’s electric sewing machine that she bought in the very early 60s came with one just like it I hadn’t thought about making buttonholes with it in years!! Such a good memory!
    I love your tips tricks and suggestions and love your tutorials. Please keep them coming!

    Your dress is beautiful! I inherited my Mother's Morse machine that she got around 1957 and I learned to sew on it when I was very young. I have the buttonhole attachment that I bought for it and had forgotten how much nicer the buttonholes look than when I make them with my newer machine. I may just use it the next time I sew buttonholes! Thanks for showing how to make a curved hem. I always learn something new when I watch your channel. Enjoy wearing that beautiful dress!

    I had a treadle machine when I was a young teenager and learned to sew on it, but it was given to my older cousin. It is so interesting how they figured out a way to do buttonholes without a zigzag stitch! It scares me though, when you start at the top, most visible hole first!

    Because of the lengthwise stretch, I think I would’ve used the broadcloth as interlining. That gives the knit something to hold onto in the seams. Having said that, your finished garment is beautiful!

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you!! You know, I toyed with the idea, but, have you ever had a traumatic incident in your past that influences your choices forever? I once interlined a fairly important garment with a cotton that I thought I had preshrunk enough... turns out, it still shrunk some... and ruined the whole thing. So... since then I am terrified to interline something with 100% cotton when the main fabric is not also 100% cotton. Probably irrational, I know :) Anyhow. I also wanted to show this method of lining so there that :) Thanks for watching :)

    I love the way this looks on you!!!! Very flattering!!! now question, I would like to take off the buttons in the front and have a solid seam, and put a zipper in the back (I never wear a front buttoning anything because I always have gaps at the bust and waist... so, do you think this pattern could be adapted to that change? or is there another pattern that already has those change? And the suggestion for easing the hem is really genius!

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  2 роки тому +1

      Definitely! Just cut the front piece on the fold at the center front line, and cut the back in 2 pieces adding 5/8" seam allowance at the center. 😊 It should work fine!

    Thank you for making this pattern. I appreciate the way you handled the challenges of this one.
    Question, if you had used iron on interfacing for the entire dress would you still have lined it?

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  Рік тому +1

      You know I think I would still line it only because having that much exposed fusible interfacing could cause trouble with it rubbing up against the body or something. I think it might have a tendency to pull up or something. But you know every project is like a crazy design experiment. Thanks for watching

      It is a pretty fabric, too heavy for cotton gauze, more like a heavy rayon, but still a challenge! Thank you :)

    I am trying to make this dress. This is my first time at sewing. I am so lost. I have cut out 1, 2 ,3 and 4 of the patterns. I have 2 pieces of each of these. (Total of 8). I cannot figure out how to place them and get them sewn together right. Do I put the two number one pieces of fabric together and then the number 2 pieces together etc. etc. I am making a mockup first out of muslin. Could you please tell me how to fit it all together. I would really appreciate anything you can tell me. First time on a sewing machine and working with a pattern.

    • @mybucoliclife
      @mybucoliclife  2 роки тому

      With all the love I have, please carefully put the pieces you cut out away. This is not a beginner dress. I would suggest you look at my recent video on a top. Simplicity 8920. Start with a pattern like that and work your way up.

      Hello! I've been sewing regularly for 40 years. At times for pay, in bridal and costuming, but mostly for day to day life. I've read so many books. Studied so many garments. Listened to wise old seamstresses, so there really isn't one particular source of information.

    Why you chose this fabric for this particular pattern is still a mystery to me. It’s a beautiful dress but even at the end I still wonder about the choice. Stretchy, stripes and the edge design. My goodness.

    I had to laugh. Why is it we are drawn to the fabrics from hades? Yours is rayon challis and mine is silk charmeuse. My favorite blouse is an old pattern w/ wide pleats in the front. Oh my, what fun I have w/ that fabric, but I love the finished blouses, just not the process so much.....
