Sew This Summer Sundress in 30min

Materials needed:

sewing machine, pins, scissors and sundress fabric.

I bought the material at Joann Fabrics link Here looks like it out of stock but other option could be find Here or Here or Here .  The top elastic part has already been added which makes it so easy.

Be careful watch out, I ordered mine online and when I got it, the fabric wasn’t cut straight at all so I lost some inches at the bottom.

Step 1.

Wrap the fabric around you pin up as need be. I suggest for US sizes 10 and below 1 piece of fabric is enough I think one piece of fabric is like 1yd and 1/8″. Sizes 12 and above will have to use more than 1 fabric.

Pin or measure out the excess fabric.

Step 2

Below is the fabric all pinned together with like 1/2″ excess in one side.

Here is another view.

Sew a long running stitch from the top of the fabric till the end.

You can either leave it this way strapless or add straps to it. I decided to add straps but I didn’t have enough fabric for the straps.

Luckily for me I was able to find a fabric a little similar in color.

Step 3 – Adding Straps

Measure out a rectangle with 3″ by 14″, I  use size 8-10  (US size)  so  the length varies according to your size.

 Step 4

Fold  into 2 and stitch a straight line through the length with right side together.

 Step 5

Turn out the right side out. Here is what it looks like.

Iron it and attached it to the fabric sewn. I measured out 3 and 1/2″ from each sides of the dress both in front and back.

Step 6

I sew in the straps

Here is what it looks like.
