Liesl Gibson replied to the topic lace ruffle in the forum
Sewing for Yourself 1 year agoFor the lace ruffle I simply attached a row of wide, gathered lace to the upper edge of the hem facing. You could also create a separate skirt if you prefer, and attach it to the dress with the outer skirt. I hope that helps!

Judy Grubbs started the topic lace ruffle in the forum
Sewing for Yourself 1 year agoI am using the building block pattern book to design dresses for my granddaughters. They chose the scalloped hem with the lace ruffle. I see the directions for the scalloped him (on page 130) but cannot find any directions to add the lace ruffle. Can you help? Thank you.

Hi @pegalot
The instructions for finishing the bell sleeve are on page 3. There are detailed steps there that show how the sleeve is finished using the sleeve facing. -

For two days I’ve been puzzling over how to finish the bell sleeve hem. Is is simply a 1/4 inch turned twice and topstitched? I’ve zoomed in on blog posts and can’t tell if this is how it was done.
I’m returning to sewing after nearly 40 years and can usually figure things out, but I am baffled.

Hi there, I would be inclined to make the change at the underarm part just because it’s easy, but it might depend on what you need.

I am about to begin sewing a Yanaka Jacket in a lovely brocade. I expect that I will need to alter for my bicep. Should I do this in the underarm area of the gusset and the back part of the top sleeve?

Thanks for the speedy response! I ended up cutting two copies of the shelf bra portion of the pattern and finishing the steps to assemble the cami. I couldn’t quite wrap my brain around how to encase the elastic and finish it, but it worked out to stitch the chest elastic to the outside so it’s exposed like a sports bra.

It should be fine at 1/2″, no worries!

I saw a faux suede trim at Mokuba in Paris a few weeks ago. I´m sure they have it in the New York store as well–you could call and ask them about it. It seemed perfect for this purpose, to me.

Interesting idea! I wonder if you could make it two layers with encased elastic between the two layers to finish the bottom edge? In my mind I can engineer it but… I think it would be quite easy to sew, actually!

I love the Tribeca Cami pattern! Has anyone converted it into just a bra? I think it would be very comfortable, but I’m not sure what to do with the top layer of fabric.
