The Perfect Wrap Knit Dress

via Craftsy

Overview

Description With fashion designer Dyanne Marte as your guide, learn how to sew a wrap dress that you can’t wait to wear. Choose the perfect knit fabrics, needles, threads and stitches to combine with a Butterick dress pattern. Personalize your pattern and add fullness for a design with more flare, or remove fullness for a more form-fitting look. Learn the basics and beyond of sewing knits with confidence as you construct your dress. Then add ruched details to the bodice for an extra touch of elegance. Get the tips you need to succeed at sewing set-in sleeves, a collar, a sash and finishing details. Transform drapey knit fabric into a figure-flattering dress so fashion-forward that friends will wonder where you purchased it. Important Pattern Information The sewing pattern on which this class is based — Butterick 5030 —is not included with your purchase and may be out of print — check with online retailers. This class is rich in essential sewing techniques, so if the pattern is out of print, we encourage you to look for an alternative pattern with similar style details. You might also be able to find the original pattern through a private reseller.
