Dress Project: Barbara Sewing the Bodice (Darts and Outline)

Lesson content locked

If you're already a member, you'll need to log in.

In this session, I demonstrated how to sew the darts and outline of the bodice for the Barbara dress project. I provided guidance on handling fabrics that are more challenging to sew, such as lame, and emphasized the importance of not stretching the fabric while sewing.

Lesson Steps:

  • Mark and sew the darts on the front and back bodice pieces
  • Sew the center back seam
  • Locate and sew the shoulder darts
  • Join the shoulder seams, ensuring a 1/2 inch seam allowance
  • Carefully handle and sew the fabric without stretching it
  • Adjust the sewing machine tension and stitch length as needed for the fabric type
