You sew to fast for anybody to keep up with you why are you speed sewing I can't watch your sew a long happy sewing.

Cute

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much for this video! Yours is the easiest to follow by far! I just recently cut the fabric but was scared ti sew the dress but, not anymore!

How do you find the ease around the waist? The ease listed on the pattern doesn't seem to fit the actual pattern pieces imo

Love this fabric store...can't wait to create my collection....one day ❤

How cool was that trip 🦄 I really enjoyed watching your fabric hunts. Yes, they could be like that in Spain. It's very uncomfortable at least for me to have so much pressure, but the fabrics look terrific. I miss your sew-along Elin, but I always look forward to any videos you post.

Hi Elin the fabrics are so beautiful! Very nice find.

Phenomenal tutorial!!!!

This was super helpful! Thank you!

Great tutorial 👌 thank you

They are Robins (popular in the U.K.) for Christmas

3 years later. How much of the fabric have you used so far?

Do you actually sew and make stuff out of that reject fabric?

Your explanation at the beginning was helpful when following along with your tutorial which was one of the better tutorials for this dress I have watched. Each step was explained in easy-to-understand instructions and your tips to make the final project look more couture was appreciated.

Nice video! Unfortunately Melanated fabrics is now closed. 😞

I'm stunned - you poor thing! As many have said, I cannot believe Mood sent you a box of their floor debris. I order from Mood regularly and have never been disappointed. It bothers me to see that they would do this.

Wow! They sent so many pretty trims. Love the pearls and floral trims. Can’t wait to see how you use them

I have sew many wrap dresses & skirts , i could have an yard sale & i ❤ them all , from both vintage & new , up to date

I ❤ the color of your wrap dress , your choice of beautiful fabric , awesome !! 👍🏾😊♥️

This wrap dress is similar to the Butterick wrap dress

Thank you for taking the time to make this concise, easy to follow tutorial and pattern review. I love your dress so much that i have purchased the pattern from Anazon ❤ 🇬🇧

Thanks for this. I have thought about buying a mystery box many times but always hesitated. Glad I did. I was thinking of some projects to use these fabrics as you pulled them out . I have lots of prints in my stash and could possibly make items with the solids, but you do not get to pick and choose. Well maybe do a follow-up and show us how you put some of this to use.

Do you use the wrapping paper as patten paper?

Nooooooo never again

ElinEstelle, your dress is gorgeous in the ponte knit and the color is delicious❤. May I ask where you purchased your point turner covers from. I have a full set of these turners and regret not buying the covers! I have searched for them with no luck. I purchased all my tools at the sewing expo a few years ago. Any info is appreciated. Thanks for sharing😊👗✂️🪡🧵

All I see is fabric that no one buys, not much for the quilters

What a disappointment! I watched another woman review a Mood mystery box recently, don’t remember her name, and she received several pretty prints and some decent yardage. Sorry.

Mood employees should be ashamed 🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀

(Taffy) don’t give up yet. You can ash the fabrics, you might be pleasantly surprised. OR you have lots of dyeing possibilities . . . I am always looking for “less desirable” pieces to make a “muslin” for fitting. But, the first thing I would do is to wash the lot. To soften stiff fabrics, wash with a can of Coca Cola (no soap, not diet, not Pepsi).

Looks like coverups and vests abound

Bags

My favorites are the large flowers. I would put them around the hem of a skirt or on a hat. Beautiful trims ❤

Wow! This is the worst mystery box. They should be ashamed. Sorry that you didn’t get better 😢

This is the 1st of your videos for me. I know it is an older video. Keep in mind all the various color block style dresses. that beg ror smaller yardages. Also all the tiered dresses a skirts, I just picked up my last piece of fabric for a tiered dress. I am a larger plus. I love the fabrics and they are going to make a lovely dress for church. All but 1 is thrifted.

I was in Minneapolis for an event and decided to check out a fabric store. Found the SR Harris Fabrics' Brooklyn Park warehouse. It was unbelievable! It has the most batiks I have ever seen. OMG However, in truth, the batiks at JoAnn's run about $10/yd which is their typical sale price. SR Harris Warehouse prices are always 50% off the regular price which lands at $10/yd for batiks. The good news is, that the selection at SR Harris'Warehouse for batiks is massive. I bought batiks in colors I have never found anywhere else. I bought suiting fabric. Oh, the suiting fabric choices and colors are massive as well! I am new to quilting and have just begun sewing again after decades. SR Harris Warehouse is the place to go for any quilter, sewist, fashion designer, fabric crafter, and the like. It is well worth a visit...a day trip.

I made this cape about 3 yrs ago and I'm ready to make another one. I absolutely love this pattern. I'm going to have to try adding the arm holes like you did. I made a hood with my current cape and I used magnetic buttons. I sew 1 side of the breast to the cape making the cape into a 1 way entry. So when every I put on the cape it has a dramatic effect. I love the pattern you used. It's absolutely beauty. I just bought a mustard yellow water proof fabric. I'm so excited to be water proof.

I am really happy I clicked on your video. I have viewed most of the tutorials for this pattern and I like yours the best. It is very clear, easy to follow and I find your tips and the information you provided to be really helpful. I love wrap dresses and have already made a few using other designs; but I will certainly be having a go at this pattern; with the help of your tutorial. I think I will try making one each with challis and cotton jersey.

Thank you for the sew along! Your dress turned out beautiful!

Stunning dress and the colour suits you beautifully. I have vogue pattern 8379 which is very similar, I can't wait to give it a try.

Oh thank you very much; I'll be looking out for that video. I want to hide that seam. 😲

Hi Elin; Thank you for your response. I meant to say at the waistline. The raw edge will show right? I will sew this dress. Thank you.

Nice sew-along and very pretty dress! I had forgotten this pattern but now need to pull it out😊. Thanks for sharing!

So you don't enclose the lining of the skirt so that it is not seen as you did with the sleeves? Will the raw edges of the skirt be seen when you flip the dress inside out?

Hi Elon the dress 👗 is beautiful.

That box was not good.

Hobby lobby didn’t have a sale. They dropped ALL THEIR BUTTON prices to $.99 and $1.99

Do you sew for people?

I am totally agreed with you. I ordered a box as well. And such a disappointment. The selection are either plain horrible color (bright red, orange,) or weird design (naked woman in Yoga posses) NEVER again. As you said "live and learn"

Love your dress, love you! You’re wonderful! Thank you!
