Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my Underlined Linen Shift Dress 💙💙💙. I’m over the moon with how this has turned out, the underlining gives that little bit of extra density to this light weight linen resulting in a dress that feels substantial, super comfortable and soft against the skin. It takes a little bit of extra work but for me totally worth it and bonus this method has given me a few ideas for future makes👌👌👌 I hope that the video helps those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar and that you enjoy. Susanne 💕
