I have been wanting to create a fully shirred bodice for a dress for a while, and when I saw the beautiful Maker Studio Tori Crepe fabric, I knew it would be the perfect time to try it out. To do this hack, I fully shirred two pieces of fabric prior to cutting out my […]

Paper Theory: OLYA Shirt Review
