| The Tube Dress | |
|
This is the simplest of garments to make as it is just a rectangle of fabric wide enough to go round your body and long enough to reach the ground when pinned on your shoulders. |
| Making Up |
| To work out how much fabric you need take the measurement of the widest part of your body and add on 50cm . Buy a piece of fabric this long by 60"/150cm wide. |
| The selvedge edges of your fabric will form the top and bottom of the tube dress. Fold your fabric in half and stitch the two cut edges together. |
| Finishing |
|
Unless you are going to
use the dress to demonstrate Anglo-Saxon sewing techniques to the general
public at events, I see no reason why you shouldn't use a machine on any
seam that won't show whilst wearing. |
