ZW Gather Dress by Birgitta Helmersson.

For something so simple I sure did take my time with it! I think I finished sewing at the end of last year (it's already on the 2024 makes post...) but did not make the buttonholes or add the buttons until the last few weeks.

Made from a thrifted duvet cover and is more of a wearable toile. For the next one I want to get a narrower width, longer top and not so low cut neckline.

The making itself was fairly painless, especially since I used Birgitta's tutorials on her blog to sew some of the trickier bits. Opted out of using the offcuts for reinforcement as that felt like unnecessary waff. I've already plans to make a blouse version of this too!

Feeling brave today and wearing this to work to see how it works in the day-to-day.

this was my first experiment to use up tiny fabric scraps. i stuck the pieces together with water soluble fabric glue then sewed a grid over the fabric to secure, before washing off the glue. it’s since survived several wears and washes!

the process was tedious but on the upside it didn’t require a base fabric to sew on to. i would like to try other methods in future, could a flour paste replace the synthetic glue?

Si tenéis el pelo muy largo (30 cm de coleta + lo que queráis conservar), podéis donarlo a Mechones Solidarios cortándooslo en una peluquería colaboradora para que lo usen para hacer pelucas para personas con cáncer.
Yo me he enterado sobre la marcha y me he acabado cortando más de lo que tenía pensado (como nos pasa a todas, supongo), pero me hace feliz saber que ese pelo va a usarse para una buena causa. 😄

Dos coletas cortadas y colocadas en una repisa transparente al lado de una regla blanca de cartón de 30 centímetros. La regla tiene escrito en rosa "Mechones Solidarios", las redes sociales del proyecto y a cada lado hay dibujada una coleta que forma un lazo rosa. Detrás de la repisa hay un espejo en el que se reflejan las coletas y mis piernas.

another experiment using tiny fabric scraps, this time i pressed them onto iron-on interfacing, then sewed a 1cm grid over to secure.

it was also the first time i used a bias binding foot, i’m amazed by how many clever sewing machine feet there are out there! i didn’t do a good job with the binding but hope it’ll get better with practice :p

this was a mat for our portable standing desk to make it more sound proof.
