Sewing pattern description
Zero waste gathered dress sewing pattern by Birgitta Helmersson
Method: This zero waste pattern is a downloadable PDF Instruction booklet. All Birgitta Helmersson sewing patterns are designed to be drawn directly onto your fabric by using small templates which you can make yourself, or print easily on a home printer. You draw your garment pieces directly onto your fabric by following the step by step instructions. Pieces are broken up into simple blocks which can be modified easily to change lengths, add/remove different design elements and accommodate changing fabric widths.
Fabric recommendations: Ideal in a woven linen or cotton with a weight of approx 150-200gsm. Choose something with a bit of drape and something that is not too thick as the gathers can add a lot of fullness.
