Freehand Cutting and Sewing of Peplum Tops

Freehand Cutting and Sewing of Peplum Tops

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Thanks again for joining me and I hope you've enjoyed it. You now have the skills to make a top, dress, or skirt perfectly tailored to your shape, in a varied number of styles simply by choosing different fabrics. Freehand cutting is an amazing technique to create clothes that truly fit you. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the garment you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand new one! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Fabric Choose a fabric that suits you – bold and bright, structured or loose, whatever you want! Don't be afraid to try something new. Nothing is beyond you. If you're worried that something won't suit you, remember that with freehand cutting your garments will be tailored to fit your measurements precisely. So, it will always look great!

The Measurements Take your own measurements using the worksheet that I provided in the second unit as a guide. The Bodice Fold the fabric, map out your measurements, and cut the three bodice pieces. Then, add darts to bring more shape. The Skirt or Peplum Once again, fold the fabric, map out your measurements, and cut the pieces for the skirt of peplum. The Facings Sew interfacing to the neckline. This will ensure that the parts of the garment that are visible when worn look great. The Whole Garment Finally, the last step is to sew everything together. And that's all! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. At each step of the way, you can access support from the forum. Be sure to take advantage of this by sharing your progress and asking any questions or doubts that are tripping you up. I'll also pop in occasionally to answer your questions and see what you're making. I can't wait to see what you create! See you there! ”
