Dreaming of sewing a new summer dress? You have to try this amazing DIY shirred dress tutorial! This is the perfect project for beginners and you don’t even need a paper pattern. You’ll learn how to create your own simple shapes, how to shirr fabric with elastic thread for that comfy, stretchy bodice, and how to finish it off with a cute ruffle skirt.

This dress is made with lightweight cotton, voile, or viscose, which makes it breezy and perfect for hot days. The bodice hugs your body with soft elastic, while the gathered skirt has tons of movement. It’s so comfortable and stylish! This is one of those projects you’ll want to make again and again, either for yourself or as a sweet handmade gift for a friend.

More sewing fun you’ll love! Stitch a unique patchwork balloon bag with built-in handles. Try a cute reversible ruffle sleeve dress for two looks in one. And don’t miss the easy frayed linen dress with pockets – no darts, zippers, or buttons!
