How I Sewed my Basic Shift Dress with Puff Sleeve and Flounced Hem

Описание: Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my Basic Shift Dress with Puff Sleeve and Flounced Hem. I'm so pleased with how this has turned out, its super comfy in this fabric and although its a basic shape the sleeve provides a nice bit of interest 💙💙💙 I hope that the video helps those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar and you enjoy. Susanne 💕

Those of you following along over on my instastories will have seen the inspiration for this one along with the sleeve patterning:
