V8772 as a dress - stitching in the birds nest for flat felled seams
2 of 10
Once I basted the edge, I start from the cuff edge and bird's nest the sleeve around the pressed foot and slowly edge stitch right beside the basting stitch until I work my way out of the sleeve and down the side.
(Vogue 8772 V8772) – linen-rayon blend from Fabric Mart, pearl-shell buttons from Fashion Fabric Supply. Hug Snug washable rayon seam binding folded for hem.
Pattern Modifications: Eliminated the collar and just used the stand. Lengthened to above the knee dress length.
Used more traditional shirt construction techniques, catch stitched cuff edges along the fold line, flat felled seams – including armhole and shoulder for a clean finish on the inside.
