Sew Liberated Clara Dress, Bodice and Collar Construction

This week's video and tutorial for the Sew Liberated Clara Dress Sew Along is up on the Sew News blog. You can find it here,  http://www.sewnews.com/blogs/sewing/2014/05/05/clara-dress-sew-along-week-3-collar-construction/
There are a few added features that I've added. This dress has a ruffle detail that I am adding to the collar, sleeves and hem. 
In the blog post I discuss how I added the ruffle to the collar.
 I also talk about adding a lining to the bodice.
 And we also discuss sewing on the front placket.
Here's this week's video,



Next week we'll discuss the sleeves. I will go over the keyhole version that is shown on the pattern and I will also talk about doing the sleeve without the keyhole and adding a ruffle that will compliment the ruffle that I added to the collar. Here's a sneak peak of the sleeve

  2. Ruffles are tricky on grownups, but this one works perfectly! Love the fabric, too.

    1. Yes, a lot of work goes into each video/blog post. I did all the videos for the year in 2 separate trips to Denver. They long and exhausting days. After I left, the videos were then edited and prepared for the Internet. So a lot of work on the part of many, but it's a lot of fun too!
