Description
Welcome to the Prima Ballerina Half-Scale Dressmaking class!My name is Britney, designer for Threadora Gowns. I create half-scale evening gown patterns and teach you modern and couture dressmaking skills in half the time and half the material cost.Designing and sewing a garment in half-scale first gives you great practice and it's very freeing when you lose the pressure to please a client or stress about perfecting the fit. You allow yourself to focus on perfecting your skill, instead. As a solo fledgling designer, I found creating mock-ups very time consuming and costly so I wanted to create dressmaking courses that solve that very problem.In this dressmaking course, you will learn and practice traditional sewing techniques using the method of half-scale construction! The smaller size will be easier to handle, use less material and take less time. Focus on improving your sewing without the stress of having it fit yourself or a live model.First, you might want to take my previous course, The Magic Mini Mannequin for a beautiful display of your miniature dress!PRIMA BALLERINA SEWING TECHNIQUES:sweetheart necklineunderlining/interliningseamless lace bodicelace bandeau sleevescorset with eyeletsboninggathered tulle tutuinvisible zipperhorsehair braid hem with attached liningThe videos will show each step, while this is a beginner course, some prior knowledge of essentials like how to operate a sewing machine is recommended.General Sewing Tools and Supplies:Fabric shearsRotary cutter (optional)Pinking ShearsPins, glass head heat resistantPattern Weights (optional)Marking ChalkHand-sewing needles (like in this complete hand-sewing kit!)Thread snipsSeam ripperSeam gaugeSteam Iron + ironing boardTailors hamTape measurePaper scissorsClear Scotch Tape
