I would definitely watch another video. A request please to show more of how you do the smocking?
Perhaps make a cutsy apron with pockets
Not quite my style but the dress turned out nicely. I'm glad that Pinkie supervised from the sofa. Poor Winnie can't do the desk. I am.currently working on a black Ponte Dr Roma skirt. Am adding side seam.pockets to it. I will make the pocket.pattern from tag board as a permanent pattern. Loved what you did with the gardening. Looks great! My sewing had to stop because of Pepper's two week long labor. Couldn't get her a C-SECTION because I only had half of the fee to pay immediately. All 7 babies were born dead. Three were super tiny and not fully formed, A set of conjoined twins and the others looked like Pepper or Sabrina. Sabrina turned out to be a hermaphodite. She is now neutered but also needs spaying along with Pepper. For a week after she had t in e babies, Pepper would cry and wrap her arms around us as we held her. She still cries some and Sabrina goes to her and grooms her and wraps her and around Pepper. Disappointed parents. Its odd to see Pepper like Sabrina now. Jorgen is arrived two days ago. He will stay until the end of July. Today is 36 degrees outside and Jorgen hates it. It should get to 45 soon. He helps me with pinning and cutting fabric. I will make three pairs each of jeans and trousers for Jorgen. He says the only pants that doesn't wear out fast ate what I've made for him. Sewing goes a lot faster when Jorgen is doing the pinning and cutting.
I would watch you make a similar dress.
Sorry couldn't find a strawberry so am sending a ❤ instead. This is another wonderful dress that you have made and I agree about the pockets pulling shirred dresses out of shape, but what about a pocket you can tie on on the outside, like a apron but nicer with some lace or embroidery on it. Just a thought. Love and kisses to the furbabies ❤❤
Super cute dress, and the colour is perfect for you
🍓
🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
I will be here watching anything you want to show me/us👍❣
This is gorgeous. I would definitely watch another video of this dress with some changes. It wouldn't really be the same dress.
Patch pocket like the 1950's dresses? Play with the direction of pattern?
The dress looks gorgeous and the colour is fantastic on you, I do really enjoy your and Winnie and pinky’s adventures xx
Watching this while taking a break from making a bag lining that I’ve ripped the zipper of three times already Edit: spelling
Omg I totally understand the frustration! 😅 I hope the bag turned out well! ❤️ thank you for watching!🌸
@@Marlenasewing it went great after. 💕
Lovely dress! I love repetition, so happy to watch it all over again in different colour. And I need to do tiered dress for summer too, they are haunting me on my fav sewing youtubers 🥰 🍓
🍓 Did I get the correct fruit? The embarrassment if I didn’t! The yellow gingham dress is beautiful and suits you very well. Another one wouldn’t hurt, although to be honest you could post a video of you watching paint dry and I’d tune in. Nice bonus cat, dog and garden material too. 🙂
A solution for the pockets would be to use separately-worn pockets, like they did in the 18th century. They tie onto your waist and are worn under your dress (and can be made BIG!). All you would need is some side slits on the dress for access. 🍓
🍓🍓🍓🍓❤
Hey Marlena. The dress turned out very nice 😊. Why don't you put the pockets on the dress, instead of inserting them into the sideseems. Pros: no seem ripping, and you can tell it's a stylechoice 😉. Same with the bow. You cam add loops to the side seems. This way you can adjust the bow and knot it in the front/back/around, or go without and add a belt. Love your videos and vibe. Cuddles to Winnie and Pinky❤
would love to watch you make that dress again!
🍓 Beautiful plants, the garden is looking great x winnie and pinky are just adorable x
Loved the garden, love the dress, would watch another video about the same dress! It might also look really cute turned into a 2 piece outfit (bodice and sleeves, elasticated tiered skirt) if you wanted to mix things up both for the channel and also to have some matching separates for your wardrobe. 🍓
I will watch a video of you just sitting and sewing a straight line for 30 min 😂 as long as we get intermissions if Winnie and Pinky too. Sewing the same dress with changes makes it a different dress doesn’t it? I think so!! So YES! Make another one!! P.S. you said it correctly, tiers is pronounced like teers or tears like when you cry.😿 ❤❤❤
I would love to see you perfect your idea and make an improved version of this dress!
I envy your shirring. I cannot make it work😢
Love the garden tour and a perfect dress for pottering in the garden!
Aww! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏❤️❤️
yay! living for your summer sewing 🌤️🌻 and i love the garden. the teeny tiny strawberries are so cute!🥰
Aaaw! So good to see you, Cindy! ❤️ sewing for warmer weather is just the best! My favourite time of the year 😃 I should probably sew a bathing suit similar to the one you made recently! 4🤩 thank you so much for stopping by!
@@Marlenasewing oooh that would be so fun! i’d love to see you make a swimsuit 🫶❤️
Absolutely 😊
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
🦃 lovely dress❤
Just joined… I love your channel!
I wish someone would have warned you that literal inches need to be taken out of the back before sewing, but but BUT it looks so cute on you though! I keep my mockups just incase i need scraps for something and also i keep all of my scraps because i make toys for my kids and animals and use cut up scrap fabric for stuffing instead of poly fluff
Im late to yo this and ive seen winnie in more recent videos but this is so cute!! Welcome winnie, we all love you! And lots of love to pinky too 💜💜
I love the top! Wear what makes you feel your best 💕💕 you definitely look like a milkshake
🦃🦃
Can you dye the twill
Even though I'm late to the party, doing the commenti thing, to help the algorithm spread your funny and heartfelt videos 🍾😊 I personally don't like the style of the nightgown and robe so much for myself, but it looks stunning on you especially with the two contrasting colors you chose, they fit together so well! ❤ And I'm curious to see what you will transform your neighbors garden into :)
I love the look! I agree it would look great in a print! The all-in-one sleeve looks perfect, the fold looks normal, and I'd love to also try it. I hate setting in sleeves. As far as adjusting this one, have you thought of opening the side seams and cutting it in at an angle? or adding double ended darts to the front and back so it is a little more fitted? Or perhaps cutting the plackets and redoing them, since this would shave off some extra fabric. Just some thoughts :)
I think this shirt looks very comfortable and still very nice. I would love for you to make this same pattern and use a new one haha
So beautiful!! I love the adventures of making this skirt and adventures of snow with the fur babies!
I love the mentality of yhis video because so often we tell ourselves we are not good enoigh as we are and we should change this or that. Thank you for embracing yourself, because you're perfect!
That colour combo in satin is top tier!
It turned out absolutely stunning and you look fabulous and glamorous in it. Beautiful work. Wear it everywhere.
What an amazing Channel!!!! Got me nervous when you were steaming your bits but the result is welll done!!! May I ask if you made the pattern yourself or is it a commercial pattern?
I am down for whatever project you are working on, whether it's sewing, gardening, or wrangling Pinky and Winnie.
🍾 gorgeous color combo!!
Beautiful.
This. Is magical. You look AMAZING and the shoulder details are so worth it! Also the dance at end is Great
I don’t think anyone mentioned this yet but Rigilene boning is different from plastic whalebone which is much sturdier and doesn’t crease/fold weirdly. If you wanted to use plastic boning in the future, try looking for “german plastic whalebone” instead of rigilene
so stunning 🤩
