Liz Lisa Style Dress Sewing Tutorial

Liz Lisa Style Dress Sewing Tutorial 

Happy easter cutie gals!
Finally exams are over and the term has come to a close, and I've been able to spend lot's of time sewing. Because I will have so much time over the holidays, I'm going to try pre-prepare tutorials then, so I can post consistently for you all during term!

Anyways, today I'll be teaching you how to make this beautiful dress, which is a pretty similar copy to this dress from a Liz Lisa 2009 release. This dress was so cute, I chose to wear it as my Easter Sunday dress, paired with a super cute bow.


I've seen many different versions of it, but sometimes its hard to tell which are replicas and which are just using the same fabric but in a different cut.

This dress is absolutely delectable, as i've made it with a very handy elasticated/faux smocked back, a gathered skirt and lace fagoting on the sleeves and close to the skirt hem.

Overall, the construction of this dress is quite straightforward, as we are not adding a zipper in or doing anything fancy with the sleeves (though you can if you'd like!), but it is the pattern drafting which is a bit tricky.

If you've never ever drafted a pattern yourself before and aren't familiar with the general idea of how different pieces would be shaped, I honestly wouldn't recommend doing this, but if you've used a commercial pattern or made your own bodice block before, I reckon you'll get the hang of this easy.

Ruffled Sukapan Sewing Tutorial

 Ruffled Sukapan Sewing Tutorial


Be there, or be square, cutie gals! I promised I would upload a new tutorial this week, and I did!
Today I'll teach you how to make this super cute ruffle skirt, which even has built-in shorts!
It's super simple to make, and it only took me about half a day. However, I did use a rolled hem foot, which definitely saved me an hour haha~

If you've sewn once or twice before, I think this is a perfect project for you. If you know how to use a machine but haven't sewn in a long time, I think it is also doable; there can just be a lot of fabric at times, and the amount of rolled hems can be frustrating.

In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to create ruffled layers, add an elastic waistband, draft a pair of safety shorts, and put it all together!

Ruched Skirt Sewing Tutorial

 Ruched Skirt Sewing Tutorial

☘︎⋅.˳˳.⋅☘︎⋅.˳˳.⋅☘︎

Hello everyone! It's been about two weeks since my last post so today i'll be giving you the tutorial on how I made this super cute and sexy ruched skirt! Similar to my last skirt tutorial, this one is an underbust skirt, but with a whole different vibe.
I wore this to the Sydney Gal Meet, and it was so comfortable and really flattering. I must say, the ruching really emphasises the body shape and is a good way to add texture to an outfit.

I was inspired to make this skirt by an Ageha 11/09 scan I saw on Pinterest. I've been wanting to make this since before I became a gyaru!
It's the skirt worn in the top left, I think I copied it quite well, but because my fabric was on the lighter side, it doesn't have as intense ruching, but if you wanted to have really intense ruching, you could multiply your pattern length by 2.5 instead of 2, but we can get into that later in the tutorial.

This project is super easy to do, even though you make your own pattern (don't worry, it's super easy), it's just working with stretch fabric that makes it take a while. An intermediate sewer could probably knock this out in 2-3 hours. (I took about double, though, as I had to figure out how to make the pattern from scratch and was accidentally using denim needles instead of stretch needles...)

Kawaii Underbust Skirt - Sewing Tutorial

Kawaii Underbust Skirt - Sewing Tutorial 

➽──────❥ ❀⊱༺♡༻⊰❀ ➽──────❥
Hi everyone! This is my first tutorial, and today I'll be recreating/revamping the first garment I ever sewed by myself and giving you a tutorial on how I made it. 
This skirt is soooo cute and flattering, and would be very suitable for an inverted triangle or hourglass body shape. I think it could be incorporated nicely into a himekaji co ord, and I'm planning to make a puffy, off-shoulder top in white to match, which I'll give a tutorial to draft the pattern for and the instructions to assemble. 
However, I have a longggggg list of things I want to make, and I don't have any more space to store fabric, so it could be a while. Don't worry though! I have lots of other cute tutorials planned too 😝
