I Moved And Had Nothing to Wear - Until Now!
LEARN TO MAKE YOUR SUMMER DRESS https://courses.arkdefo.com I moved to Portugal and realised I need some more summer outfits! I'm trying to mix n match what little I have. It's a summer capsule wardrobe of sorts, but very small! This summer I need a new quick and easy wardrobe. Clothes that I can design and make that fit my style and the climate. In this video I'll discuss my design process and show how I design and make this green cotton / linen dress - perfect for the hotter weather. I'll work with my custom bodice blocks and design a dress pattern that works for me. Super quick, super easy. The fabric I am using is 50% cotton 50% linen jersey. A really beautiful knit fabric and 100% natural fibres. We only use natural fibres. Zero synthetic fibres.
