Sewing With Sheer Fabrics: Part 1 Course Overview

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Sewing With Sheer Fabrics! In this course we'll be taking a deep dive into sewing with these beautiful flowing fabrics, we'll tackle the fears that arise and provide some tips for success!

In  this course, I'll be joined by Shari Fuller, for a tag-team style set of instructional videos throughout this 4-part series.

The course will be broken down into these four installments:

Part 1: Course Overview, Fabrics, Sewing Tools, Resources, and Example Garments

Part 2: Sewing Tips, Stabilizer Solutions

Part 3: Seam Allowances and Edge Finishes

Part 4: Hems and Embellishment Details

Both Shari and I will be demonstrating the techniques while using these patterns: Liberty Jane Roebuck Bay Top, Liberty Jane Woomera Dress, and Thimbles and Acorns Grecian Renaissance Dress.

  

Are you ready to jump in and get started? Watch the Part 1 video and follow along as I go over the different fabric types, resources, sewing tools, and show you garments made using sheer fabrics.

Where can I find the dotted lace fabric? I used to have a lovely yellow Swiss dot over satin dress and want to recreate that for my dolls.
