WHAT CHANGES?
On this version of the shirt from the book Escapade au Soleil, we will simply lengthen the front and back patterns to obtain a dress pattern. We will also create slots on the sides and make a belt and loops.
THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
THE tuto
To make these modifications, you will need the patronage of the front and back.
1 – Start by cutting your patterns at the “Allonger / raccourcir” line.
2 – Define how many centimeters you want to lengthen your room. Our models are intended for a stature of 1m65. Lengthen your shirt patronage by following the explanations in the book Escapade au Soleil pages 28-29 of the desired length (we have chosen to lengthen our shirt by 35cm).
4- Cut and sewn the dress by following the tutorial in the book Escapade au Soleil until step 4. Assemble the shoulders normally.
5 – Mark 30cm from the bottom of the dress on each side seam.
6 – Assemble the seams on the side arresting your seam at the mark of the bottom of the dress.
7 – Open the seam values of the sides to the iron. On the non-assembled parts, make a fold of 1cm in the continuity of the opening of the sewing values in order to create the slit.
8 – On the non-assembled parts, make stitching 5mm from the edges to keep the seam values in place, and thus finish the slit nicely.
9 – Finish the assembly by following the book tutorial
