Pattern Hack: The Sweetheart Neckline (Patreon)

Hello, lovelies!

I have the first of our two final pattern hacks of the year for you! Today, I'm sharing how to hack the Maria Dress to change the neckline into a beautiful sweetheart point.

The Maria Dress is the perfect starting place for this pattern hack, but this technique will also work for nearly any bodice (like Aurora or Peggy) that has a basic and uninterrupted neckline.

Don’t be intimidated! Pattern drafting is surprisingly fun and opens up a world of possibilities. As the third in this year's pattern-hacking series, this tutorial and the companion video covers everything you need to know.

Download the companion instructions below, be sure to watch the video above to see these steps in action!

xoxo,
Gertie

PS: Stay tuned, because tomorrow I'll show you how to hack the princess seam on the Maria Dress to have decorative ruching, too!
