There was a request for another slip from out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 8666.
Super easy project that came with some additional requests, extra ease and wider straps from the first version. I actually made another version in a light-weight white cotton fabric that was a favourite and that was the one to be replicated. Sadly, I didn't blog about it and document the changes that were made to the cotton version.
Thankfully, the white cotton version is still in rotation and I was able to copy from that version. The front was lowered one inch. The side seams were given an additional 1 5/8" from the top grading out to 2 5/8" at the hem.
Wide bias strips were made using a bias maker. The sides were finished with French seams and the hem was sewn at one inch with a 1/4" fold-over. No need for the serger. The pretreated cotton and silk blend fabric was cut on the bias.
The Stats
Fabric: 2.5 metres
Pattern: OOP Simplicity 8666
Additional Tools and Supplies: Cutting table, pins, pin cushion, scissors, thread clippers, iron, ironing board, tailor's ham, tailor's chalk, measuring tape, measuring gauge, sewing machine, walking foot, bias tape maker and tea.
Stay Safe and Happy Sewing!
