I like to share my knowledge in order to better the Lolita community as a whole. I have been sewing for only a few years, but I started out learning with (then scarce) tutorials on the internet. After going to school for sewing, I have learned a lot and would like to help other beginning seamstresses by providing more tutorials. After all, sharing is caring~ Today I am showing a very basic, cheap method of making plain bloomers. It is easy and does not require much sewing experience at all! Bloomers are basic and fun. You can add lace or ruffles and frills to your heart's content. They can be made in a lot of fun fabrics because nobody will see them! For winter, I like to make longer flannel bloomers, which are excellent for keeping warm when layered with wool tights and all the layers of Lolita! After moving to Taiwan though, I found that all my wonderful flannel bloomers which kept me so warm in Minnesota were unwearable in the Taiwan heat! Time for some shorter, lighter bloomers! Materials Needed: 1yd fabric elastic sewing machine thread safety pin First, pre-shrink your fabric by washing it. This prevents unplanned shrinkage after completing your garment. All materials should be pre-shrunk before beginning to sew! Wash/steam/clean it the way you will be cleaning your garment. Otherwise, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise the first time you wash your new clothing! ♥Subscribe♥ Search Search This Blog Follow by Em ail Email address...
