How to Sew a CHANEL inspired Tweed Mini Dress: Step-by-Step Tutorial + Daphne Sewing Pattern

Today I want to share with you how to sew an elegant A-line dress with a cute little slit.

Personally I love a charming tweed dress, it’s so refined and elegant while still being minimalistic in the shape and form. So, inspired by iconic Chanel dresses, I wanted to create another version of it with an oval neckline, a classy A-line skirt that has an overlap with a slight slit, decorated with some pretty tweed fringe.

I’m using my Daphne PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:
