I bought this magazine today in WHSmith.
Its a lovely format, no adverts.
i don't think i'll buy it again unless there's a pattern I particularly like

I have been side tracked from this project because I had to make an outfit for a 20s themed party at the weekend. I made a "one hour dress" that was a success but of course took me a lot longer than an hour.

So back to New Look 6429 view A with short sleeves.
I am lining the dress although the pattern does not show lining. I have tried to find a tutorial, without success, for attaching the lining by turning through the sleeves. As I can't find anything showing me how to do this, is the other way to attach the lining is to sew it along the zip tapes, use the neck band to join the main fabric & the lining. and hand sew the sleeve lining to the sleeve hem?

Thanks for your help

Hi Brenda

Its the second one. I should have posted a link but I haven't got the hang of things on this new forum yet.

Many thanks

Hi. Please could I have some help with how I attach a lining to a dress I'm making?
The dress is McCalls 6429 a straight short sleeved shift dress. I have made this dress already with the help of my sewing teacher at Bury Adult Education class. But I cannot remember how it was done.
I have made up the lining & the dress but haven't attached the neckband & facing, nor have I put in the zip - the back is completely open.
With the first one I attached the lining at the ends of the sleeves then somehow turned it through & attached the back seam to the seam allowance of the zip (If I remember correctly)
I would welcome a pointer to instructions for this or to  YouTube.

Thanks a lot
Anne
