Cozy Sewing Days 👒💐 Sewing a Hill House Inspired Dress, Garden Days, & Slow Living

Hello, hello friends! I hope your Spring & beginning of Summer have been so lovely so far! This weeks video involves many days spent in the garden and making a dress inspired by the Hill House Kimmy Dress! I'll share all the measurements and info down below! Let me know if you make one of these for yourself! Reference Videos:    • Easy DIY Shirred Spring Dress: How to Make...      • Easy DIY Shirred Linen Dress with Puff Sle...   Fabric I used: https://go.shopmy.us/p-60457667 Kimmy Dress Dupe Calculations & My own measurements! For the "bodice" piece: Bust x 1.5 + 2" divided by 2 = Width of top piece (Mine was 29.5" wide and then I chose a length of 20" but then cut off 2" to make it 18" long!) For each tier: Width of "bodice" piece x 15% and then add this number to your previous width measurement (so I'd add this to my 29.5") You can also do more percentage for more fullness but I couldn't with how my fabric was. For example, mine was: 29.5 x 15% = 33" width for the top tier. I chose a length of 5" for each tier! Remaining tiers: Take the width measurement of previous tier (33" was mine!) and do the same math equation for each tier! So my remaining tiers were: Tier 2: 38" - Tier 3: 44" - Tier 4: 50" For the stripes, I just cut them out with a bit of extra on each side and they ended up being roughly about a little over an inch wide. For the sleeves: I made them 6" wide and 23" long. I hemmed them with a pretty generous hem and did presser foot width apart rows of shirring. For the seam allowance on the dress, I did a presser foot width apart but ended up taking in both sides about a whole other presser foot! So probably about a 1/2 inch seam for the side seams.
