If you've been longing to sew either the Cinema or Hide-and-Seek Dress but haven't found the perfect moment yet, now's the time to get motivated! We're thrilled to announce an upcoming Sew-Along where we'll guide you step by step through creating one of these beautiful garments. This event is just around the corner, so let us introduce you to what’s in store.
To begin with, we’ll cover everything you’ll need to bring your dream dress to life—fabric recommendations, essential notions, and more. If you don’t already have your pattern, this is the ideal opportunity to purchase it. You’ll also want to select your fabric carefully, wash and press it, and cut out your pieces well ahead of time. Once you’ve got everything prepared, you’ll be all set to join us when the Sew-Along begins.
For this Sew-Along, we’ll focus on completing one dress per week. Our journey will kick off on Monday, October 13th, with a detailed walkthrough of each step. Whether you prefer sewing a little bit every day or prefer to take things at your own pace, you’ll have ample time to complete your project without feeling rushed.
Here’s a sneak peek at the dress we’ll be working on:
This relaxed-fit dress boasts a front and back yoke, a V-notch neckline, and a charming back button closure. Its easy-to-sew welt pockets and three-quarter-length cuffed sleeves make it both stylish and practical. The yoke design allows you to showcase a favorite fabric or print, adding a personal touch to your creation.
Now, let’s talk about the materials you’ll need:
**Suggested Fabrics:**
Light to medium-weight woven fabrics such as quilting cotton, broadcloth, lawn, poplin, shirting, voile, linen, fine-wale corduroy, or silk shantung.
**Notions:**
Coordinating thread, ½-inch buttons, and lightweight fusible interfacing.
Inspiration abounds! Over the last few months, we’ve seen some stunning versions of the Hide-and-Seek Dress emerge from our community. Here are a few ideas to spark your creativity:
- Rainbow yoke
- Color-blocked designs
- Quilted yokes
Before diving into the Sew-Along, there are a few preparatory steps to consider:
- Purchase your pattern.
- Determine your size (and make a muslin if necessary).
- Select and prepare your fabric.
- Cut out your fabric pieces and transfer any necessary markings.
- Review the instructions thoroughly.
Here’s the Sew-Along schedule to help you stay on track:
- **Day 1:** Adjusting for bust size (optional, for Cinema Dress only)
- **Day 2:** Making pocket welts and attaching the yoke
- **Day 3:** Attaching the skirt, assembling side panels, adding pockets, and finishing the dress assembly
- **Day 4:** Preparing and attaching sleeves, finishing side seams, and finalizing the Hide-and-Seek Dress method
- **Day 5:** Preparing sleeves, attaching cuffs, finishing side seams, and completing the Cinema Dress method
There’s something special for everyone in this Sew-Along. The Oliver + S Hide-and-Seek Dress + Tunic comes in girls’ sizes 6 months to 12 years, while the Liesl + Co. Cinema Dress is available in women’s sizes 0-20. Imagine sewing coordinating dresses for yourself and your child—it could be such a delightful bonding experience!
