in this video I'm going to show you a dress made for the Daisy pattern and we're going to applique some butterflies onto it so you need some border tissue paper some kind of pattern paper and I've also used some pink ribbon some pink rickrack some bows and of course I have got the main fabric and a contrast on to which I will put the rig rag and I'm also straight away this is the first thing I do going to put some ribbon onto it so what you do is you fold over the ribbon to form a bow and then that Bo is going to go underneath the rickrack and I'm cutting in about four inches in length so cut yourself four of those and then fold them over you can stitch them through the middle first if you like or do what I do here and just pin them onto the edge of the dress so no need to turn in anything you just straight over the top it makes it much easier and also it stays a bit flatter so then you pin the rickrack over the top and I'm going to zigzag that on and on the back you have to first over lock the sent back and then sew it together so that you can put the trim on the bottom as you have done on the front so place the trim on that's all we're doing here and then again do the same as on the front put the bows on and then the rickrack over the top so I'm using a fairly small brick rack and I'm placing the rib rack so it's right on the center of the trunk so that we can you know catch it and it doesn't slip out so all the way because once you've done that to both front and back we can carry on with doing our little butterflies that's actually really easy to do but it will take you a long time so you trace out your butterflies eight times eight yes and then we are going to take all our trace butterflies and we're going to position them on the front in the back and once you've got your position how you want it you take the middle two off again simply because the paper is just going to get in the way if you do too many at the same time so I'm going to pin my first one on here in the right position and then I'm doing more the one that's furthest to the side and I can use all sort of different colors to do that I can do the antennas in a different color to the body using the triple stitch to do this and simply just stitch over it the important thing is of course that you always have the needle die in when you turn in the fabric to go all the way around and if you're using all the different colors especially on a dark fabric it really makes a pop it's really great so yeah choose what you like in terms of color and then take about two hours no I'm kidding Louise only an hour and a half haha now it does take a very long time so it's good fun now as well I quite enjoyed myself I did this all afternoon so changing over the threads constantly and dry in another color and another color then when you've done all of this in all the different colors you can see here I've used different ones and then you can just look off the paper which is again it's really easy to do and it's in exactly the right position now that's why I use this paper so I can now put the next lot on which I'm putting slightly sort of add a slung towards the other one and again I pin them on and then I sew those ones on and then you can see after quite a while that was done and next I'm going to do my wings so get all your scraps ID that you've got in your box that match and cut yourself some wings the wings overlap so I want to start with just the one side of the wing so take the other side back off and I would also suggest that you you use Bhandar web for this and iron them on and then I'm going to put my machine on a zig zag stitch and fairly low button cause strength as well for the tension so put that right down then I stitch around the butterfly wings and really if I had to use Bandhu web this would be much much better and easier to do but I actually forgot that I had some it was really silly when I've done all this and finished I found all the bondo Apso but anyway it works without it but it certainly is easier if you do the bond away then of course you have to do the other side as well you put the next one on and you can see the overlap here and just go all the way around there again I've used different colors so on polka dots in blue and white use white and on the other one I used pink put my little bows on as well so few hand stitches so that they're done now I can do my sleeves you can just do them as turn up sleeves as per the original a daisy pattern but if you wanted to do it with an elastic at the bottom then you should cut them off I would suggest to cut actually three inches off the two wasn't freely enough when the dress is finished you would see but I didn't want to do it again since no one wears this dress anyway so then you over lock the edge and we can leave it at that first and then my elastic here is eight inches but it is really advisable to just you know check it around your child what it's the right length there and then you put your sleeves in first so right sides facing each other and you kind of like to spin them edge to edge and you do that of course on all the sides the sleeve and once there are in it should look like this and we want to now top stitch the edge as well I think that always is really good so your overlocked seam has to go towards the body middle eye and as well of course and then line it up on the press f4 to gray you've got a line that you comfortable with and then with a longer type stitch you go all the way down so it looks nice and even like this then we're going to over lock our edge of the facing and we are pinning the facing all the way around I've port Valene in the area of the fastening only so once I've sewn all this on I am now going to cut it all back so cut to the quick there where the curve is so that you can actually turn it and cut back a lot where the curve is and then not so much obviously where the rest of the dress is it's not necessary and then you want to do the under stitching again that gives you just the best edge so about two millimeters off with the seam allowance rolling into the facing you so the whole thing in and you can see here the stitch on the inside and it's only on the facing so the seam allowance is head in there next we're going to pin the facing down so that we can then top stitch it from the beginning of the sleeve at the back and go to the end of the on the other side what you don't want to do is go all the way to the end because that looks really silly because you've got that fastening on there and it's just the lines don't work my first dress I did it like that and then unpicked it here you can see I'm only going to the end of the sleeve and then reverse stitch obviously lock your stitches in and we're done with that of course you can put a bow on now or anything else I put a little bow quite central but apparently it's bit on the skew I did that in subsequent dresses here I've put a triangle from the outside that you can see here to all it in place but you could just can stitch the facing I think in fact that's nicer so then you want to put in our cam snaps and the key here is to just go through all the layers once you position your little poppers so you go all the way through so they are in the same position and don't try to do like the top first and then do the bottom flat side on the underneath and then the one with the really thick rim goes on to that one first put your tool over the top and press it in and then on the other side the flat one goes on the top and then the one with a sharper rim goes on top of that and that will fit into the one with a thicker rim so press that in and you've got your popper done I love these poppers they're so easy I wish I discovered these years ago now we can close our side seam so in one go then over lock it here in this area sometimes get attention so you might want to snip it now I'm going to just turn in my sleeve where we've already ironed it and I'm going to stitch it in the overlooked thing and then I leave a gap through which I can put the elastic through and we're using a safety pin for that I always see my courses honestly people that try to put it in without anything I just sit there for half an hour and you think oh but if nobody tells you are no you should use a safety pin safety pin that's what you want to do and then so you're lastic together so together so they overlap each other so it's nice and flat and then you get this sleep and here you can see how I really didn't do that - well it should have been higher up it's just too long that sleeve by about an inch so if you took that up an inch it would have looked so much better over lock the hem and then pin it up and we're going to sew this hem from the outside again but here where you've got the seam if you wanted to just snip it it's a little trick but makes it a lot easier and then forge the seam allowance and opposite directions baby it's not so thick here in that area then it's much easier to sew so from the outside Finley service you go onto your on your needle plate that would be 1.5 centimeters but of course you can't you know depends what hem you did and we finished another dress of the Amelie and Daisy series if you wanted to make the Daisy dress with a proper puff sleeve then you can take the puff sleeve off the Amelie dress as you can see here and I think that really rocks that star absolutely love how that looks Ella had made a Miss Claus costume here for daughter Magdalena which so rocks I thought and then we've got more festive very variations which also all come the video with the slim sleeves all the pot long pop sleeves and then we've got the Armani dress as a princess dress so I hope you enjoy these two dresses and I'll see you next time thank you for watching
