Please note: This PDF sewing pattern uses zero waste pattern cutting and comprises of instructions to draw shapes directly onto your fabric. With the exception of some printable templates, there are no large pattern pieces to print out and tape together. The cutting plan/templates document for the ZW Tier Dress requires printing of 15-18 pages in A4/US Letter Paper. 

This pattern comes with 10 size options, an XS-6XL (hip 86-152cm / 34"-60"), with all sizes included in the one pattern purchase. There is a separate cutting plan booklet for sizes XS-2XL and 3XL-6XL which include detailed measurements and templates.

*Please note this pattern is for personal and non-profit use only and is not intended for commercial use in any way. 

 

The Method

Zero waste pattern cutting is a bit like a puzzle. It is a method of pattern drafting where you utilise a length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used. This pattern does not require printing of large pattern pieces, instead you draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric with the aid of a cutting plan and templates. We love working with this method for 3 reasons:

1. More flexibility: This method allows for easy changes such as using different fabric widths and making simple fit and design changes yourself. Using patterns that fit into a zero waste square or rectangular block is a very efficient way to work. It means that it is easier to patchwork together remnants or use left over fabrics you already have lying around.

2. An easy way to learn to self draft your own patterns : Working this way will help you to start building a toolbox of skills, and you will learn an alternative method of self drafting your own sewing patterns, which are super easy for beginners to understand.

3. Less fabric and paper waste: Without having to print full scale paper patterns for all pieces you save on a lot of paper, and you will have little to no fabric waste during the cutting and sewing process!

The ZW TIER DRESS is made up of 3 separate cutting plans which can be mixed and matched to make 4 different dresses. A short dress with thin straps, long dress with thin straps, short dress with sleeves and long dress with sleeves. If you are not using the sleeve then the strap for the dress will need to be cut from a contrast or remnant fabric. This dress has an above the bust self lined panel, the A-line dress below this is gathered on. There is also a bottom gathered tier that can be added to the dress and a gathered sleeve with an elasticated hem. The sleeve is hand sewn to the strap and underarm after the dress has been fully made. There are 2 different pattern layout options for this dress, which vary slightly depending on what size you are using.

We travel with it every vacation
Color: Blue, Size: 7x7 FT (1~3 person)
Large blanket that packs small, is lightweight, sand proof, anchors easy with provided stakes and pockets for sand to weigh down- it stays put even in the strongest winds. Have taken to South Africa and Hawaii- everyone wants it!! Washes so easily.

Festival Must Have
Color: Green, Size: 7x7 FT (1~3 person)
Enough said. It was quick, easy, big and awesome! The 3 person fit 5 of us. It’s light, and folds up small. We used it on wet grass and didn’t get wet! It was awesome. Buying extras for presents.

easy to setup and clean
Color: Blue, Size: 9x7 FT (1~5 person)
We use this constantly for kids sports. I do wish I would have got the smaller size because it's really big. I love the hooks that hold it in the ground. There's also pockets to use sand to weight it down. I was expecting the material to be a little different, it feels like a windbreaker, but it cleans really nicely.

Perfect!
Color: Blue, Size: 9x10 FT (1~8 person), Color: Blue, Size: 9x10 FT (1~8 person)
First off, this thing is HUGE! I love that the side pockets fill with sand to keep from flying away and how easy it is to stuff back in and put away.. Its definitley machine wash safe (use cool water to prevent the material from getting messed up) and it doesn't get that wet towel smell if being used multiple times during a trip.. It's been camping and beaching LOL.. Would buy again when this one needs to be replaced.

Must buy for summer

Lightweight, compact, and super easy to pack. Sand shakes right off and it dries quickly, which is perfect for the beach.
