You guys!! This is our last step!! After we finish up all these buttonholes and buttons then we’re done and dusted! That deserves a whoooop whooop or something :)
Ready to get started? I’ve got a few tricks and tips to show you!
Darling Ranges dress sewalong: ties & beltloops
We are so close to being finished with our dresses!! Today we’ll be working on the ties – but since I’ve noticed some people are leaving off the ties in favour of belting their dresses – I thought, lets also throw in a beltloop tutorial! Yay!
P.S – sorry for the different looking colors in the photos. It’s the same fabric. But I swear it’s a chameleon, changing with every picture I took hehe.
Darling Ranges dress sewalong: hemming
Okay, lets get going on hemming our Darling Ranges dresses! This is an easyyyy peasyyyy step!
Lets get out our rulers and get those irons hot!
Darling Ranges dress sewalong: attaching the sleeves
Today we’re going to be inserting our sleeves in the Darling Ranges dress and finishing the sleeve hems. We’ll be using the inset sleeve method, and I’ll be showing you two different ways to insert the elastic into the sleeve hems for V1. I really love having elastic in the sleeve hems because it’s just so comfortable! I really hate the feeling of constriction that often comes with an elbow sleeve with a vent.
Ready for some sleeve action? Go!
Darling Ranges dress sewalong: sleeveless version
I really love making sleeveless versions of Darling Ranges! Both as a blouse or a dress, it creates a whole new look. I know sleeves aren’t a lot of work – but sometimes leaving them off just feels fast, you know? hehe.
We’ll use the provided bias strip pattern to create facings.
Ok, heres how.
