In this video Im showing how to make a jersey maxi dress. I hope youll find this tutorial helpful. If you decide to recreate it, please tag me on the picture with your creation on instagram or twitter, I would really like to see it. :)\r

Some info about the fabric:\r
1. Dont use very thin jersey fabric, because its quite difficult to work with it if youre beginner and/or dont have special sewing machine for jersey.\r
2. The lenght of the fabric depends on its width. If its width is more than 170 cm, then you need the length of your dress plus 10 cm for hemming the bottom and in case if your fabric will shrink. For example, if your dress is going to be 150 cm long, its better to buy 160 cm of fabric.\r
If the width of the fabric is less than 170 cm, then youll need double length - 320 cm in this case.\r
3. You can never know what will happen with your fabric after the first time washing it, it may shrink, or it may stretch out as well. If you dont want any unpleasant surprises with your dress becoming shorter, longer or tighter after washing it, then wet your fabric with plenty of water and iron it with hot iron (make sure that the iron isnt too hot and wont burn the fabric) before starting to cut it.\r
\r
Some other information that could be useful:\r
1. You can use a piece of old soap for marking, if you dont have a chalk.\r
2. Maybe youll need a special machine needle for jersey and other types of stretchy fabric, because some machines cant sew jersey properly without it.\r
