Step 2: Cut Your Fabric
Place the pattern pieces on your fabric and cut out the necessary shapes. You’ll need to cut:
1 front piece
1 back piece
Bias tape
Step 3: Finish the Top Edge
To finish the top edge, use bias tape that is 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, each for front and back.
Step 4: Sew the Side Seams
Next, place the front and back pieces together with right sides facing. Pin the side seams and sew them with a 3/4" seam allowance. Once sewn, finish the edges with a zigzag stitch or overlock to prevent fraying.
Step 5: Finish the Armholes
To finish the edges of the armholes, use bias tape that is 22 inches long and 2 inches wide, for each armhole. Sew the bias tape around the edges of the armholes, leaving the excess at the top to tie over the shoulders into a knot.
Step 6: Hem the Bottom of the Dress
Fold the bottom edge of the dress up by about 1/4" and then fold again to create a clean hem. Sew around the bottom to secure it, and press the hem flat.
Step 7: Final Touches
Give your sundress a final press with the iron, ensuring all seams and hems are crisp and neat. Your sundress is now ready to wear!
