The ebook includes the pattern Dress ELOK for Women by Nähfrosch (DIN A4, A0), detailed sewing instructions with many photos and adjustment options, as well as practical tips for sewing.
With gathered neckline and feminine cut dress ELOK convinces all along the line! Sewn in no time at all from stretchy fabrics such as jersey, the dress is figure-flattering at the hips with a beautiful A-line. Thanks to the simple darts at the waist, ELOK has a wonderfully tailored fit. The beautifully gathered delicate elastic neckline makes for the ultimate wow effect.
And the best: You can assemble the pattern according to your preferences! Choose from: high and deep neckline, short or long sleeve as well as 3/4 sleeves and two hem lengths, above or below the knee. Of course, you can also shorten your dress ELOK to mini length, or sew it as a maxi dress! And a shirt length is also included!
By the way, thanks to the deep neckline ELOK is perfectly suitable for breastfeeding!
ELOK is Indonesian and translates into "beautiful". This suits the look of the dress perfectly - a beautiful dress, quite feminine thanks to the gorgeous neckline.
This pattern is really a piece of cake and therefore absolutely suitable for beginners. Even the elastic neckline, which seems so tricky, is very easy to handle. In fact, we just turn in the seam allowance and work without facing. This is definitely the easiest way to sew a tunnel. You don't have to worry about the darts either. Let's go then!
Fabric recommendations
Stretchy fabrics with a nice drape are best for the dress, such as fine knit fabrics, jersey, viscose jersey, cupro, stretchy jacquard or other elastic dress fabrics. The fabric should not be too heavy and rather have a flowing drape.
Additional material You will also need: - Thin elastic (0.5 cm wide) for the neckline, about 50 cm - If applicable, fusible web to reinforce
Important!
Jersey fabrics are stretchy or elastic fabrics, which must also be processed with an elastic stitch. This prevents the seam from tearing under tension. Always use a suitable needle when sewing. For jersey you need a jersey or super stretch needle.
