Greetings hive friends, it has been a long time since I shared with you, but several reasons led me to distance myself somewhat from this medium, one of them is that I was dedicated a little more to sewing, perfecting a bit what I already knew. Thus, carrying out various projects at the sewing level, and that is why, as it was - let's say - sewing that moved me away from this medium a bit, I decided to return to this area, sharing with you the step by step of a beautiful dress gathered with thread. elastic, which to tell the truth I thought would bring many complications when sewing, but no, it is really a super simple project, and it does not require many materials or knowledge.
Materiales:
- 1 1/4m de tela de su preferencia
- Hilo elastico
- Tijera, agujas, hilos, algún tipo de encaje (opcional).
Materials:
- 1 1/4m of fabric of your preference
- Elastic thread
- Scissors, needles, threads, some kind of lace (optional).
Proceso / Process
For this project it was not necessary to use some type of pattern, since we only need a 80cm rectangle for the length we want, in my case I used 65 cm. Without forgetting to leave two small pieces that will be the straps of the dress, these are used approximately 3cm wide by 40cm long.
After having the pieces cut, he had to go to the sewing machine, the first thing was to place the elastic thread on the spool manually, it is worth noting that there is no need to stretch while winding, simply distribute the thread by the entire cart, as would be done with any other type of thread. I must admit that there are different ways of sewing with elastic thread, in particular I use it as any thread, with the difference that I do not fully stretch the thread, that is, I let it remain somewhat "loose".
Now, the fabric is placed horizontally, on the side where the gathering will go, without forgetting that the fabric must be on the right side, in this way we begin to sew linearly from side to side, when we finish the first lines touch return, in case I use 1cm of distance between the gathering rails, but it all depends on the result you want to obtain, as we can make them longer or a little shorter, it is worth clarifying that the shorter the gathering is greater. We will do this procedure as many times as necessary and make a 25cm long gathering.
After having finished with the gathering, we proceed to sew both the upper and lower edges of the fabric, using approximately 1cm of seam, after that, we pass the iron over the seam to give a better finish to the seam and of course to the dress.
Then both ends are joined on the back side of the fabric and a double seam is made, to finally proceed to sew the straps of the dress, for this we place the fabric on the back side we sew, and then we turn it over with the help of some fine object. At the time of sewing these strips to the dresses, we will consider a measurement of 4cm from the end to the inside, it will be at this point where the sewing will be made.
After doing this we have a nice ruched dress to wear. In the next photo, you can see the result.
