In this first video in the series we're discussing everything you need to create your own Austin Dress. Having everything you need ready to go is a great way to start a new project!

This lesson covers everything you need to know about choosing a size and making basic pattern adjustments.

In today's lesson we're cutting our fabric! Watch as we discuss layout, best practices for cutting, and more.

Learn how we choose interfacing, best practices for cutting, and how to apply it. This is the last step before we start sewing!

Today we get to start sewing! Watch as we sew the center front and back seams, create our darts, then sew up the shoulder seams.

In this lesson we're applying the neckline binding, inserting the elastic cord button loop, and adding our top and edgestitching to the bodice.

In this lesson we're assembling the View A Skirt, adding our edgestitching and topstitching, then attaching it to the bodice. If you're making View B you can skip this lesson.

Sewing the pockets may seem straightforward, and it mostly is, but we've got a trick up our sleeves...using a jig with a press cloth to get super sharp and even pocket edges!

Here we're assembling and attaching the View B Skirt. We've got hot tips for gathering with ease and pressing those gathers. If you're making View A you can skip this video.

It's time to finish the armholes and create the button bands. We've got a great trick that allows the binding to flow seamlessly into the button bands, without added bulk, so you won't want to miss this video!

Today's lesson is all about hemming! We'll start by hemming View A, then graduate to View B. Next we'll topstitch around the outer edge of the sides and armholes. After this all we have left is the buttons & buttonholes!

This is the final lesson in the Austin Sew-Along series, and in it we're marking, measuring & inserting our buttonholes. After that we'll mark our buttonhole placement and attach the buttons both at the sides and the center front neckline.
