knot dress


Okay, this is the first time ive ever done something like this if you have any questions ask away!

Now for the sewing of the Bondice. Remember on 1 of the sets you will do button holes and on the other set you will sew the straps in it so you get a clean edge. put your bonice piece right sides toghter and sew. turn right side out and top stitch. This is the one you will do the button holes on. I do mine 1 to 1 1/2 inch down form the center of the straps. on the second set put right sides toghter and put the straps in. Make sure your unfinished edge of the strap is poking out just enough to sew across. Then sew, flip and top stitch. to attatche these 2 pieces put right sides together and sew and flip.
'
I ALWAYS add my hem before i sew the skirt so at this point sew the hem on your hem band and sew it to your skirt. THEN sew the skirt piece up the sides. Do the ruffle stitch and make it ruffle. Pin your skirt piece to the bondice sew in place and turn right side out. I always top stitch when i can. It gives it a better look. I also top stich above the hem band on the skrit piece. so on the bottom of the bondice just above where you sewed the skirt on top stich. All you have left is to do the button holes if you have not done that yet. So make sure if you have ANY questions ask me. If you want me to take pictures of the sewing processes im sure it will be this sat or sun before i can get to it. 
I wanted to add PLEASE do not let anyone use these instructions.
