Serendipitous Starling Dress Part 2

Hey ho off we go.....
Do you remember me hoping this would be fun to sew?
Well it is!
Clever,clever,Charlotte!

Pretty,isn't it?

Transfer your pattern markings

Interface as per instructions,one yoke piece.

And the front placket.

Following instructions,pin three sections of flounce together(for the dress version)

You will end up with four lots of three.

Sew and press the seams open.

Following directions,pin two flounces together.
I like to match seams first and then gradually pin.

I sewed the outside edges first.

While stitching,lift your foot and turn by hand to achieve a nice curve.

Trim your seams. I like to use pinking shears.

Once I have pressed and made sure things are even,I stitch the end of the flounce and trim the seam.

Two flounce's,ready to be turned.

Turn and gently roll under your fingers to get a smooth edge.

The turned and pressed flounce.

Following the instructions,stitch a basting line on the inside of the flounce.

The pattern suggests to clip this seam,I chose to trim with pinking shears which worked well with this sheer fabric,however if I was using a thicker cloth I would follow the patterns directions.

Attach the flounce to the front placket. I stitched a basting line to match my stitching to.
As I trimmed my flounce with pinking shears I adjusted to account for this.
