Sewing the dress “Swantje”
For this dress, we’ve chosen a cotton sweatshirt with elastane in a gorgeous yellow. To keep the dress “Swantje” in shape over time, iron woven interfacing on the facings and topstitch the neckline. We chose the Three-Sole Walking Foot with Seam Guide #50 for this step to get perfect seams and avoid distorting the shape due to the elasticity of the fabric.
For a professional finish, you overlock your pattern pieces together and hem your dress with a coverstitch. Alternatively, you can either use a twin needle (see our tips for working with twin needles here) or use the elastic Seraflex thread by Mettler to hem the dress and sleeves.
Take a look at the magazine…
The pattern and sewing instructions for the dress “Swantje” appeared in the inspiration Magazine 3/21.
This issue features a shell coat, a teddy jacket and homewear to be cosily wrapped up and freeling much more comfortable and protected at this time of year. But also the festive events can be celebrated with a floral dress, a leather skirt and a sparkling blouse with matching clutch!
