Welcome to Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I'm Meredith and this is my creative journal. Here you'll find loads of inspiration for a handmade wardrobe, home decor, bags, and quilts. I even have plenty of projects and tutorials to get you started or help you along the way.
Your explanation was perfect – thanks so much for sharing this tutorial! I love this pattern, and your daughter just looks too cute in it:) I think I prefer the blue on her, but you really can’t go wrong with either side!
I was wondering if you had any tips on how to transfer the marking for the casing. The suggested method of poking with a pin along the line and transferring a dot seems time-comsuming and I”m wondering if another way has been discovered!
I put the fabric over the pattern piece against my window and trace the lines onto the pieces with a disappearing pen. That way the line is perfect and all I have to do is mark. I think that takes far less time than pinning, and its more accurate.
When I made my markings I just eyeballed it. I marked at the beginning and end and “drew in” an approximate line. It turned out fine – the elastic is very forgiving. But I think Meredith’s way is better!
Thanks so much for your suggestions! Will have to give them a try:)
Oh interesting so you kept your hems separate. That makes sense. I think my first impulse would have been to hem them together. I’ve made a couple with collars, I’m ready for this version! It is a great pattern, but the collar adds quite a bit of time- at least for me!
No, no. They are hemmed together. The only way I could get away with not finishing the seams is that the dress is fully enclosed.
I’m sorry I didn’t explain that better in my post!
Oh der- no I was looking at the picture wrong. This why I have to be careful about sewing at night. ha!
Your daughter is so adorable! Where did you buy these fabrics?
Any idea who makes that feather fabric. I love it!
I think the designer is Martha Negley, but I’m not positive.
