Sound of Music Moment: Curtains Sewn Into Flapper Style Dress

Supplies: Slip Liner (thrift store find $1 to $3)
sheer organza curtains (recycled find new)



I love this dress! You can easily wear sandals for a low key look or dress it up with heels and leather jacket for evening...Go for a darling flapper look by adding flats, pearls, and a beaded cardigan.


I used a set of sheer curtains (recycling). You can easily get sheer organza from the fabric store or use any fabric you like (sheer fabrics have a natural flow to them that creates a natural wave without gathering). If you don't want to finish the edges, it will have that raw look! You can find amazing slips at thrift stores for $2.00 or so. 


To do this you want to create even strips so cut the curtains into even sections (6 inches for mine). 
I also have a serger, which keeps the edges from fraying and creates the pretty curled edging. Also helps create a natural wave of ruffles.


A tip to make even lines on the slip: I like to iron mine on by folding it up the correct amount of inches.
Pin layers right sides together on the ironed marks: SEW every layer.

    1. She also makes curtains for the kids in the Sound of Music. It is done in both movies. :)

    2. Yes, Sound of Music, she makes a whole wardrobe with them...

    3. In the "Sound of Music" she is told that the curtains in her room will be replaced and she uses them to make play clothes for the children. No curtains for the children. This is in both the movies.

    4. Maybe the main thought for large numbers of blogus is cost. One snappy blog method of narrowing down your decisions for another smartphone is to simply set your financial plan and see what's accessible in your value range. Android blog smartphones have much more blog value focuses than iPhones do. blog Notwithstanding their costly leader smartphones, blog a large portion of the significant Android makers likewise offer respectable mid-range adaptations for those on a more tight financial plan or with less requesting blog needs. All things considered, Apple has now blogsunk into an everyday practice of dispatching three iPhones each year, with more established ones remaining on special at lower costs.

  17. I really want to make this for my daughter. How do you sew the top piece on? Do you top stitch the layers so they stay 'down'? Also is there a way to finish off the edges without a serger?

    1. One of the key factors is the high blogcost of research and development. Generic drug manufacturers have much lower operating costs than branded blogdrug manufacturers. This is due to the fact that drug discovery is expensive and the manufacturing of a drug will take years—costs that generic manufacturers do not have. blog After a company develops a medication, it must conduct costly clinical trials to ensure that the drug is both safe and effective. As a result, by the time the FDA approves a brand-name medication, blog the drug manufacturer has already invested millions. The risks associated with producing bloga new medication are not borne by generic drug producers. The drug's formula is known, the clinical trials are complete, and generic drug manufacturers are only investing in the manufacturing of the medicine, blogenabling them to market it at low prices. the market for a decade or more (the era during which the patent was valid), and patients and caregivers may already be familiar with blogthem. Costs are also held down by rivalry among generic drug manufacturers. Multiple companies begin manufacturing and selling generic drugs after they have been licensed. As a result, competition rises, blogallowing the price to stay stable.

  26. Use lists to keep your information private when playing social games. Social games, such as the many available on Facebook are gaining popularity at a rapid rate. These games require cooperation, and are not meant to be played alone. This can make progression difficult if you don't have many friends. Adding friends solely to play games with is a great way to get further in these games, but can leave your information at risk. Create a list of your gaming friends, and take advantage of the privacy settings available on Facebook to limit the access this list has to your information.
