Most of the time the\ndresses are for photo taking \u2013 and I chose bright colors, playful prints to\nmatch our outfits with the cheerful surrounding. We were really excited to go\nto the tulip fields in the countryside, and suddenly, a lockdown order because\nof surging COVID-19 cases! What a disappointment \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I am having free time again (been\nripped off from our dreamed weekend in the countryside), I am working on new\ndesign \u2013 the Natalie Flutter

I have included a first page with many details about sizing and\nprinting, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size\nyou need! If you still do not know how to print a layered PDF, please check for\nthe instruction <a href=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/index.php\/how-to-print-tianas-closet-patterns\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can print this using your home\nprinter and A4\/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be\nable to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always\nprint the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing\nat the right scale before you print out the whole pattern \u2013 avoid waste of ink\nand waste of paper, save the earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some PC may print smaller than actual\nsize even when you choose 100% scale \u2013 I don\u2019t know why this problem exist, but\nmy HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the\nright size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to\nsize, if not, scale up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW TO SEW THE NATALIE FLUTTER SLEEVE DRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the Natalie dress is not difficult\nat all! Just be careful with the invisible zipper at the back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fabric of your\nchoice <\/li><li>Some elastic for\nthe waist (optional, you can use a slim waistband instead)<\/li><li>Invisible zipper<\/li><li>Scissors, pencil or\nfabric marker, ruler, pins<\/li><li>Sewing machine or\nneedle and thread<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What fabric can be used for this project?\nAlthough it depends on your choice, I recommend using lightweight woven fabric.\nIf you want to use stretch fabric, go down one size for better fit. Opt for\nsoft flowy fabric for a romantic look, solid color or fun prints, each will\ncreate a unique style (did you see the prints and colors I used in the 3D\nsimulation?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much fabric do you need for this piece\nof garment? You may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It\nwill depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric\nyou plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out\nat the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or\n35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don\u2019t forget to\naccount for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut\non the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cutting instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After printing out and taping all the\npattern pages together, you will get something similar to this image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Natalie flutter sleeve dress (XXS-5XL) (10)\" class=\"wp-image-7608\" width=\"524\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Natalie-flutter-sleeve-dress-XXS-5XL-11.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>You will see that there are 2 sets of\nlines on each pattern size. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along\nthese lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along\nthese lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric\nbefore cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam\nallowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam\nallowance is about 1\/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch\n(2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the\npattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to\ngive at each seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fabric will be cut into following pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Front Bodice \u2013 1 piece<\/li><li>Back Bodice \u2013 2 piece<\/li><li>Front Skirt \u2013 1 piece<\/li><li>Back Skirt\u2013 2 pieces<\/li><li>Sleeve \u2013 2 pieces<\/li><li>Neckline bias binding &#8211; 1 piece<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to mark all notches and other\ndesign features such as pleats etc. from the pattern piece onto your fabric.\nWhen sewing the garment, pay attention to notches, they must match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sewing instruction:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Serge the fabric to prevent fraying.\nIf you use non fraying fabric (like fleece or knitted fabric), you can skip\nthis step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Sew the bust darts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Place the Front Bodice and a Sleeve piece right side facing (remember to match the notches on both pieces), pin and sew to join the Front Bodice and the Sleeve. Repeat with the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Place the Back Bodice and the joined Front Bodice + Sleeve right side facing. Match the notches, pin and sew. You will get the raglan sleeve attached to the bodice of the dress. Repeat with the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Place the Front Skirt and Front Bodice right side facing. Pin and sew to get the Front Dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Place the right Back Skirt and right Back Bodice right side facing. Pin and sew to get the right Back Dress. Repeat with the other pieces to get the left Back Dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Align the Front Dress and the Back Dress pieces right side facing. Match all the joined seams (at waistband and armhole), pin and sew to join the Front Dress and Back Dress from the skirt up toward the waistband, then armhole and sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Attach invisible zipper to the back of the dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. Attach bias binding to the neckline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. (Optional) You can attach a piece of elastic to the inside of the dress, at the waist seam so it will naturally gather around your waist. Or you can just leave it as is and add a slim waistband to define your waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. Hem the skirt and sleeves.
