How to Sew a Knit Dress for Girls! (tutorial trailer) 🎥 #sewing #diy #sewingtutorial #howto
In this video I will show you how to sew a dress for girls with knit fabric. I use a serger for many of the seams in this project. If you don't have a serger then use a stretch stitch on your sewing machine. You can use a zigzag stitch on the seam allowances to get a serged look.
