Update 2/1/2021: An updated Upton Sewalong is available here.

Welcome to the Upton Dress sewalong! I’ll be taking you through the construction of both views of the Upton Dress – though of course you can mix and match the bodice fronts, backs and skirts to your heart’s desire. Here’s what the schedule will look like:

31 May: Inspiration & styling suggestions

2 June: Cutting, marking and prepping the bodice

4 June: Sew bodice shell and lining

6 June: Attaching bodice shell and lining

8 June: Sewing the skirt

10 June: Sew pockets, skirt side seams, and attach bodice

12 June: Insert zip and finish back seam

14 June: Finish lining and hem

Then at the end, we’re going to have an Upton Party! To participate, take a photo of your Upton (bonus points for party poses) and then tag it with #UptonParty on Instagram or Twitter, add it to our Flickr group, or email it to hello@cashmerette.com. The deadline to enter is 14 July and then we’ll do a fun round up post.
