Description
The first of an exciting new category in Studio Faro sewing patterns where you get the opportunity to learn a little more about your chosen craft.  The Sleeveless Shift Dress is an elegant shift sewing pattern that you can adjust to your own personal fitting using the extensive tutorial notes included in your purchase. It can be made as an unlined summer frock with a bound neckline and armholes or an all-in-one facing.  Or you could cut yourself a lining pattern and make a winter pinafore for layering against the cold.

 

This sewing pattern is available in 10 sizes (4-22) and in three different print formats:
  • A0 print format – 1 page.
  • A4/letter print format – 19 pages
  • 36″ Plotter print format – 1.2m

 

Included with your sewing pattern purchase are four stages to the learning process as detailed tutorials (all PDF downloads):

    • Pattern Preparation (10 pages) – Firstly you’ll learn how to take your own body measurements to select the best size pattern for your projects.  Guidance when tracing your first pattern so you include all the important detail.  And clear instructions to locate the best place to make your alterations on the pattern.
    • Pattern Fitting (18 pages) – In the second phase you’ll learn how to alter the vertical measurements in your pattern and shift your bust dart so it’s pointing in the right direction.    And most crucially how to make a Full Bust Adjustment to finalise the perfect personal fit for your Shift Dress.
    • Pattern Adjustments (17 pages) – In the third phase it gets so much more creative with detailed instructions for pattern alterations. On offer are a number of new design ideas you can try using your newly fitted shift dress pattern.  You’ll learn to change the neckline, make a princess panel dress and add flare to your hemline.  And finally the instructions to finish off your shift whether you make a summer or winter version.  You can either make bias binding to finish your armholes and neckline or draft an all-in-one facing for a summer shift.  And the full instructions to draft your own lining patterns for a winter pinafore.
    • Dart Transfer Options (12 pages) – And the fourth section is a compilation of instructions from my blog posts that would be both useful and inspiring to draft your own design ideas.  They include dealing with gape darts, dart transfer, front openings and bias cutting.

 

My PDF block and sewing pattern downloads can be printed as A0 or 36” plotter print at your local print shop or as A4/letter at home.  Please be sure when you go to the print shop or print at home that you select for printing at ‘actual size’ with ‘no scaling’, or at 100%.
