I have put this together to help those that have dreamed of a crocheted dress and felt they could not make it alone. We will be having open discussions throughout this year on various aspects of the dress making. Photos of your progress and questions are welcome.
WE will be using the BIG Ball White Crochet thread #10.
Each month we will cover a different part of this dress making. Some of you will have made only a few items in thread and other will have made more difficult items. This dress will be making smaller items and combining them to make a larger project come together.
Lesson 1 will be the basics of pattern making for your dress/blouse/skirt.
Lesson 2 will be the choice of materials needed and how to find the motifs for this dress and layout.
Lesson 3 will be the making the fringe.
Lesson 4 will be flowers and leaves.
Lesson 5 will be structure motifs and basic fillers.
Lesson 6 will be Necklines and armholes and or sleeves.
Lesson 7 will be on dying the motifs with protein reactive dyes.
Lesson 8 will be blocking your bits and pieces.
Lesson 9 will be connecting your pieces together.
Lesson 10 will be show 'n tell.
Please let me know when you come by the first time

ReplyDeleteAfter making too many mermaid tails for Christmas presents I finally got my size 6 hook and #10 thread back out yesterday. Oh how I'd missed them lol. Super excited to try and make a dress alongside you all. X
ReplyDeleteThis is a free class and open to the public. I have been accused of teaching another artists work this is not true. It is also not the first time she has accused me of this. All the designs I am posting here are made by me or I have a link to where you can find the work of other artists. I will teach you how to make a dress but it will be your design when you are finished. You are welcome to make my design. I hope these lessons will help you design your own style of dress.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing gift. I'm a little intimidated...No alot...But after crocheting for 50 years I'm going to stretch myself.
ReplyDeleteThank you... Thank you

ReplyDeleteWould like to make the dress. Or possibly make it as a blouse (not really a dress person). Am posting from Vancouver, WA.
ReplyDeleteI usually work on a skirt and blouse and connect them for a dress

ReplyDeleteQuestion about BIG Ball White Crochet thread #10:
ReplyDeleteI found one big ball that's 1000 yds & another that's a little under 3000 yds. Please advise which to get.
Thx!
the largest and you may need 2 later. It all depends on what motifs you choose.
DeleteI went to buy the Stitchin Crochet Pro and there are two prices. I can't find any difference in the two. Do you know what is the difference between the $4 and the $6 program?
ReplyDeleteI went and looked 4 is one license, 6 is multiple licenses - more copies.
ReplyDeletethings have changed since I bought mine years ago
ReplyDeleteJust saw part 5 on FB. This looks great. Thanks for sharing. BTW I'm in Milwaukie.
