Today I want to share a quick tutorial on how to add elastic to a top or dress to define the waist. My Puff Ruffle Peasant Pattern shows a gathered mid chest area:
The following 2 pictures are made with my Ruffled Neckline Dress pattern and both have a defined waist with several rows of elastic thread sewn in.
Isn’t my model so cute??:) …..pictures taken by a business friend.

Very cute! I love being able to quickly add some elastic at the waist and add some definition to the garment.
And Tayley is adorable! I love her!

I heart elastic thread! It took me forever to figure out how to use it correctly but it adds so much character to a dress.
I just love this, I hope my daughter will wear that!! found you on Keeping it Simple

She’s seriously the cutest little model ever! And, those shirts rock. I’m jealous. I wish I knew how to sew. You’re too talented, girl!
Thanks for linking up!
Very cute – and I love full and partial elastic waist jeans, pants, AND skirts for all ages from my grandkids on up to my elderly senior parents. Thanks for a fun idea for Rednesday.
