1. Intro: Hi, my name is Sandy of empathy. I have a sewing business where I make custom protect
clothes for my clients. I've learnt sewing
26 years ago when I was in high school and
I've been doing ever since. I've made a lot of these
colonic dresses for myself. And in the coming
videos I'm going to show you how to take
your body measurements and make custom
fitted dresses for yourself without
using any patterns, because that's how
I have lunch too. So this is another conic dress. I also make many
other garments like this little baby dress from the fabrics and remnants
that I have left with. This is my objective
of these lessons. I'm going to teach you how to
take your body measurements and make any kind of custom printed the government
for yourself, even though you don't
have a pattern for it. Thank you.
2. Cowl Neck Dress Cutting and Sewing: Good morning. In this video, I'm
going to share with you a quick and easy way to
make a calming dress. Made many of these,
it takes me around 30 to 45 min to start. I have this fabric. This is a knit fabric and
this is from Walmart. It's three arcs and it
costed me just eight bucks. You can make this out of 2 yd. That should be enough to, I'm going to start with
my measurements for this. The measurements that we
need for this is your chest. It's 37. Then bust. 37.5, raised. 32, hips, 40 and-a-half. Arm hole, 16.5. Length of sleeves, too out there around measurement
for length, flat nine. And the length of the dress. 37. I'm going to spread
this tablet first. The length of the dress is 37. So to add 1 " seam allowance, I'm measuring this at 38 ". I'm going to mark here
this is the shore know. My shoulder is 15 " but I don't want to mark
exactly half 7.5 " here. I will mark 6.5. I will reduce my shoulder
by 1 " because this is a cold night and it's
going to spread when you wear it and it will
fall off the shoulder. So a Mockingbird at 6.5. Now I'm going to
mark the arm hold. My arm hole is 16 ". So seven is where I'm mocking and I'll check in
for that is going to work. For the chest the
chest twist 37. 37 ". One-fourth of 37 is 9.25. I'm not going to add any 0s because this is a
stretch fabric. This is a knit fabric. Now I'm just doing a little
curvature for the arm hole and I'm going to measure
if this fits my arm hold, my Anwar measureless
measurement was 16.5 ". This is coming to 18
" this is nine -18. I will reduce this
a little bit more. Instead of seven, I'm
going to mark it at 6.75. And then draw the
curvature again and see how much
the whole measures. This is 8.25. So I
can do with this because my uncle
measurement was a 16.5. Now I'm going to mark my bust, the bust lice at 10
" from shoulder. And also I'm going to give
the markings for waste. My waist lays at
14 " from shoulder and my hips lay at
19 " from shorter. Now at 10 " the bust point, I'm going to mark
37.5 was the bust. So one-fourth of it, which would be 9.4 or something. Waste was 32, one-fourth
of offset is eight. Then hips was 40 or 41. I would like to put it at 40 because the stretch I
want this to be much fitter. So I'm going to put
it then 0.1 or 10.2. That's nice. So here I have 10.2
at the bottom. I want this to be
a pretty dress. So at the bottom, I'm only going to
put marketed 7 ". I've seen they're seven
and just reading his work. I usually like because
it tapers like this. Now I'm going to join
all these points. And now I'm going to add
1 " seam allowance here. Here I'm going to give a slight
of 0.5 inch mark in here. And I'm going to give
it allergic code. And I'm going to do the
carton shoulder here. I wanted just to be like 2.22 ". Then I'm going to give
the next depth to be 2 ". And then just give a code. Here. I'm going to give a 0.5 inch seam allowance
for this to chew. If you want, you can do a
little dip here of 0.5 ". A little bit. I'm getting a little bit seam allowance here for the neck. Seam allowance for the homework. This is the falling side. I'm going to cut
the front part now, which has the code
laid down it N14. And I'm going to place the fabric from the
backside on top of this. This is my guide. Now I'm
going to mark from here, I'm going to just copy or
trace these measurements. This whole part. Here I want to give a little bit just to know where
the Amazon started. Now the tricky part here is to make the code, to make the call. I'm going to move
this far by 2 ". So I'm going to live this
and place it like this and move this by 2
". That's my goal. This has to be at least 2 ". And this has to align with
the marking that I had. Yeah. Now this is perfect. I'm going to copy this again. I'm going to trace the arm
hole here. The shoulder. This is where it ended. Now I can remove this part. Usually the front angle
is a little deeper. So from here, I'm going to
mark a little deeper insight. Or three-fourth inch inside. So from here, I'm
going to market three-fourth inch inside
and join it like this. That's my inner arm pull. And from shoulder I'm going
to just draw a straight line. So this these are going
to gather up like this. Now I can do the cartilage. I moved to start stitching by joining the shoulders first. I'm going to use a simple
zigzag stitch and join it here. The shoulders are joined with
a very simple exact stitch. Now I'm going to
make the neck naked. Making the neck is very easy. I'm just going to
afford the neck like this and do a zigzag throughout. This is the front neck. So I'm going to just afford it, buy a quarter-inch
like this throughout. This is the back neck. And then I'm going to run
this exact stitch all over. The zigzag is complete
on the neck and you can see how the
color is falling down. So when I read it, it's
gonna look very nice. Now. I'm going to stitch
on the sides, both the sides with a zigzag. And also I'm going
to hand the bottom, I'll hold it 1 " and do a zigzag stitch the sides
and also the bottom. Now I'm only left
with this leaves. I'm going to put
this leaves now, the length of the slave is 12 ". I folded the fabric ones here, There's one for this is bulky so I don't want a cardboard
this leaves together. So I started
one-by-one and Mark 12 " and then half inch extra folded seam
allowance at the bottom. From the top, I'm going
to mark a line at 4 ". Then I'm going to join
with the Coby like this. Then I'm going to
measure my uncle, my own home actually
measurements. A measurement is 16.5. So I'm going to mark 16.5. So 8.25 basically because
of this folded into half. And then I'm going to add an inch of alarm seam allowance. The Barton measurements
was how much was it? It was 9 ". So I'm going to
mark it for 0.75, like I love Lego,
quarter-inch Yahoo. Then inch seam allowance. Now I'm going to join
this would this, I'll also add on 5 " and
measured how much this comes to. It comes for me the bicep
ground is around 6 " or 6.25. So this exactly is
the 1 " allowance. This this leaves
should be good for me. I'm going to start this
end the same thing. I'm going to car another
time for the second sleep. For the front part, I'm going to give
a half-inch depth. Just a half-inch so that it
can the fitting is better. So I'm going to
cut a little bit, only one side. Like that. I'm going to him the bottoms
of the sleeves and then join it to the whole then the
address will be complete, Alberta it and show it to
you. So quick and easy. I like the code before all of this leaves are comfortable. Washington see sometimes these fabric shrink a little bit. If I wash it and it
doesn't shrink them, I may type in and do it anyway, but I'm very comfortable in the fitting that it's
given to me right now.
