How To Sew - Smart Doll - FREE Beer Girl Dress - Sewing Pattern Tutorial - Danny Choo Culture Japan

hi there I'm Beth and today I'll be sewing the smart Doll beer girl dress using a free sewing pattern shared by Danny Chu of culture Japan the makers of smart doll I'll put a link in the video description for you to download and print the pattern for yourself it may look like a lot but the outfit is made up of several separate pieces these three pieces on the right make up the sleeves the top here is folded over with elastic inserted and the bottom is gathered to attach to the middle part then t

his bottom piece is gathered at the top to also attach to the middle part these are the blouse pieces the front center and the bust cup which will have a second mirrored piece they are gathered to fit [Music] this piece is also mirrored and is sewn to either side of the front piece and these pieces go on the back attached at the sides and they'll close up with hook and loop finally for the blouse is the frill along the Hem cut a second one mirrored hem the bottom and gather the top to fit [Music

] these next pieces make up the corset which is pretty simple these two parts join to make the front and this joins at the side to make the back closed with hook and loop again finally the biggest pieces are for the skirt we have an inner skirt and a ruffle to attach to the Hem and an outer skirt with another ruffle to attach they both get gathered up together and sewn into this waistband [Music] I'll show you how I put together each piece and we'll choose a lovely model from my shelf of big gir

ls I choose you evolve frame body in tea and I will swap anime North for Starlight [Music] thank you I chose some medium weight white cotton for the blouse and cut out my sleeve pieces two of each mirrored I double fold and will hem the bottom here and I sew a gathering Stitch across the tops for the shoulder pieces I'll overlock and sew Gathering stitches on the top and bottom here's my lower sleeve hemmed and gathered and here's how it attaches to the middle section here both are attached and

top stitched too for these shoulder pieces I pull the gather slightly to help me fold over the edge to create a casing for the elastic I'll press and Stitch this down and insert the elastic it's cut to the size specified in the pattern here I pull the elastic through with a blunt needle and thread but later I went to find a safety pin to push through with instead foreign use pins to secure the elastic at both ends then Stitch to secure [Music] here's my other shoulder piece done and I gather the

upside of it to match the width of the middle sleeve piece [Music] pin Stitch and then top Stitch these in place now we simply fold them with right sides in sew and overlock the sides before turning right side out here's one modeled on the arm it looks great and the elastic with just the right length too next up is the blouse I've cut all the pieces as specified on the pattern I start with the bust cups which are just like the shoulders they are gathered and a casing is sewn into the top curves

and as before elastic is threaded through and secured here you see the two cups are then joined at the front center it's best to insert the elastic as directed before joining the two sides so you get a nice crisp V shape in the center now pull on the Gathering threads to have the bottom of the cups match the width of the blouse Center front piece pin and sew the cups to the front now I take the two side pieces and align them with each side of the blouse front transfer the markings from the patt

ern to help match these together there will be overlap at the top since this has yet to be folded over I overlock the side seams then we'll attach these back pieces I've cut notches to match the pattern markings sew these and overlock the seams too you'll see I've also transferred the pattern markings which show one side of the closure is overlocked and folded once but the other is to be folded over twice before we do that though I also Gathering stitches to the tops of these Ruffles and hem the

bottoms I pull together them both and have them overlap slightly in the front center pin and sew to the blouse hem next I'll fold over and top Stitch the top sides before finishing off the back closure I'll fold in and add velcro to the back now there we go it ends up like a nicely fitted tube top it looks so nice on Starlight especially with the medium smooth bust it could be worn off the shoulder too I grabbed some colored fabrics for the corset and skirt and we'll combine both for the corset

four of each of these pieces with two of each reversed for the outers and the Linings I join the two front pieces I cut notches into the curve to help align them then press once sewn I've top stitched lace where marked on the pattern onto the fronts next I align and Stitch On The Backs for each piece [Music] I cut Snips and press open the seams then pair each outer with its lining right sides in the pattern shows where to leave open for turning but otherwise Stitch all around the outside of bot

h pieces before turning through cut Snips into the seam to help ease the curves and trim excess at the corners [Music] once turned through carefully press before top stitching as shown on the pattern I don't stitch on the brown section now the corset just needs its fastenings snap at the back of the neck velcro in the back and ribbon lacing at the front foreign lovely together I like that the front laces up so you can adjust the fit too I used green ribbon and I added little bows to the blouse s

leeves as well next I'll make the skirt the inner skirt frill is really long and it's cut on the fold too so is twice this length same goes for the inner skirt too I used my rolled hem foot at the machine to hem this and then sewed on the Gathering Stitch I'll pull it to gather it until it matches the width of the skirt piece I pin it in place and sew it on I press it nicely then top Stitch it too next I assemble the outer skirt cutting out two of these ruffle pieces and two of these as well alo

ng the top here the two skirts will get gathered together as before I pull one thread to gather it up to match the size of this curve I'll pin before sewing with the curved end towards the center Front [Music] here they are and this is how they match up with the inner skirt I just need the waistband made up to attach to it now I'll cut out two pieces and we'll overlock one of the lower curves I sew them together right side in leaving the lower curve and half of each side open like this snip the

corners and clip the curves before turning right side out and pressing well [Music] that's done and I've sewn two long Gathering seams joining the inner and outer skirts one closure side is overlocked joining both skirts on the other side will be turned over twice first I pull both Gathers foreign [Music] once the skirt is just about the right width I start pinning it to the waistband right sides in on the non-overlocked side of the waistband I make sure the edges are both turned before pinning

the overlocked side is folded once and the other is folded twice [Music] I disperse the gathers evenly matching the center together and pin like this now I'll sew it in place I pull out any Gathering stitches that show below the waistband and then we'll flip it right side out I pin it so that the inner overlocked side lays flat with the gathered seam tucked up inside the waistband nice and neat [Music] I can then top Stitch all around the outer waistband before closing in the back of the skirt t

he sewing end is marked on the pattern and I'll be overlocking the seam once it's sewn up too foreign [Music] having one closure side longer than the other gives us this nice overlapped finish which we can then add a snap or similar closure to to finish I actually chose to install a hoop and bar closure this time and it fits my lovely model perfectly here she is what do you think of it all together it might look like a complicated outfit when you see it like this but if you take it just one bit

at a time it's quite manageable I've added my little label here at the back and I've dressed her in these pretty little shoes which match quite nicely I made these using my own free smart doll shoes pattern it's quite simple so check it out in my shop if you haven't already I just adore the details in this outfit the lacing and the Frills the German Oktoberfest Vibes it all fits really nicely and it suits her skin tone really well too please do check out the links in the video description below
