Supplies:
To make a silk shirt with frills, you will have the next supplies:
Silk cloth of your selection that’s light-weight and drapes properly. You have to about 1 meters of material, relying on the dimensions of your shirt.
Frill cloth: Select a light-weight cloth that enhances your silk cloth. Chiffon or organza are good decisions. Or you possibly can select the identical cloth with the bodice for the frills like I did. You have to about 1 meter of material for frills.
Stitching machine: You have to a stitching machine with a straight sew. Be sure you use silk needle. I like to recommend to make use of this one from Schmetz.
Different supplies: Thread, scissors, pins, iron.
On the finish of this submit yow will discover a listing of a lot of the tools I take advantage of for my tasks.
Directions:
Reduce out your cloth: Begin by chopping out the back and front items of your shirt from the silk cloth. Use a sample or an current shirt as a information. Be certain that so as to add seam allowances to your sample. Right here I used a Burda sample for the primary bodice and the frills on the arms. I added additional frills to the neckline which weren’t there on the sample.
Reduce out your frills: Reduce out strips of frill cloth which can be at the very least twice the size of the placement you propose to stitch them. The size will decide the fullness of the frills. I lower the neck frills on the selvedge fringe of the material so I did not need to hem the neck frills.
Hem your frills: Hem the quick ends of your frill cloth. It will forestall fraying. Right here I solely hemmed the arms as a result of it was lower on round form not from the selvedge edge just like the neck items.
Sew your shirt: Sew the back and front items of your shirt collectively on the shoulders and aspect seams. Add the arm items. End the perimeters with a zigzag sew or an overlock.
Lastly, Press your seams with an iron.
