Making A MY FAIR LADY Dress!
Check out my process for making a MY FAIR LADY Dress! Every woman should feel this fabulous at one point in their life! I combined three Simplicity patterns to create this beauty and then grabbed some lace and a PVC pipe for the parasol. The base for the hat came from Amazon (all materials are listed below) and I pulled together some tulle, ostrich feathers, and made an extra bow for the top.
I'd love to know if you have ever made a project that combined more than one sewing pattern! Let me know in the comments!
MATERIALS:
Fabric came from Joann's Fabrics store.
-I used Matte Satin. DO NOT use Satin! Learn from my mistakes, Satin is the fabric from Hell! Ha ha. It not only frays like crazy, but it catches on your machine needle and pulls the threads through, permanently damaging your outfit as you're trying to make it. Cast it back from whence it came!
30" white invisible zipper
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GG78CTN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ostrich feathers
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GZXHFFI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Extra wide white floppy sun hat
-Came from Amazon, but I can't find the product on the site anymore...I'll keep looking!
Wire for hat came from DollarTree (it was some kind of hanging flower pot holder that I cut up)
Double Fold Bias Tape Black
PATTERNS:
Simplicity Pattern 8330 for the top/bodic of the dress
Simplicity Pattern 8597 for the bottom of the dress (style option A)
Simplicity Pattern S9473 for the neckline and sleeves (style option C and D)
-NOTE: I had to lengthen the sleeves and make them skinnier. Also, when you cut the neckline, make it has far up as possible!! Otherwise, you'll end up with a collar that attaches down by your collarbone. I had to make a lot of adjustments to make this dress come together, so be patient and make sure to make the lining first before cutting your main fabric.

DIY Chore Chart that's EXTRA Customizable
…. They’re bugs. And if you haven’t lived in a place with bugs you wouldn’t know that half of these are invasive crop killing species. We don’t eat bugs so please stop crying over them. You’ve probably hit more bugs with your car than they caught this one time.
You all should be a lot more careful where your windshield goes and don’t hit so many bugs 🤡 You all should be more considerate and stop using lights outside. Don’t you know innocent, loving moths run into them and perish!? Next time I see some of you squealers crying “kill that cockroach” think about what you commented here again.
How do you dispose of the used chemicals?
I have some frozen bunny kits. How long do I let them sit to unfreeze? Do I defrost them in the fridge? Thanks!
Omg I have to make pieces tonight! I was about to use fondant but you just saved me so much time! Thank you ❤
I just found a pretty butterfly that passed sadly, and i wanted to try this
dragonfly*
I'll be making one with an old sheepskin. I'll leave the wool side on the inside to hopefully quiet my arrows a bit.
A question I have is where the actual like flavor and filling ? What does it taste like? Since there’s usually filling in the cakes at least where I live 😅😅❤ lovely cake tho
What magnification did you use to see the tardigrade up close?
8ssasapioh🎉❤😂😢😅😊
Satin is hard!
Thank you for getting to the point and not making it too complicated or long
I love it! How do you cut it?
Helped round out my potions class for my kids' 12 y/o HP party! Great ideas TLBST...and easy on the eyes as well!
no one was asking how to preserve it. i could care less. let life live and hunters do not fall on this list. that’s fine do your thing. within reason.
How many percentage a distiled water should have?
this is honestly amazing! Great work
You don't need to kill the insects to do this. Collect the dead ones instead. You are teaching your kids to be mean!
As long as you are respectful woth rhe corpse ♥️♥️ dead or alive, they deserve to be known
I refrigerate my cakes with fondant decorations all the time. No issues.
If this isn't heaven then idk what is ❤
Communism is weird as shit.
Awesome!
Awesome! Thanks!!! I'm now looking for your video on putting insects in resin. I can't wait.
Gosh. I don’t want to kill them. That’s cruel. I only use the ones already dead.
Sweet! I found a blue tailed skink in my yard before the ants got him and have him in the freezer!
Nice recipe thank you
You said to not put a fondant-covered cake in the fridge. What if you're serving it the next day?
"No animals were harmed" Then proceeds to say her animals killed them 😭😭😭😭
poor baby
wonderful !!!
I, too, prefer my powdered sugar to be ball-free. 😂
How do you prevent hair from falling off?
First time seeing your channel, nice video.
I have the same kitchen counters as you.😮
I know this is liek 4 years old but have ypu dome any wet specimen with a feathered animal? Eould it be the same process? How would the formalin effect the feathers?
I've had this bumblebee in my stuff for over a year now, I checked, and it's more or less in the same condition as when I first found her Poor girl must have stung someone. I wanted to use her as an art reference but I might have to preserve her in resin first.
I founded a scorpion while i was hiking and got it i wanna put it in risen and keep it but idk how to kill it without it loosing its structure so Does freezing the scorpion kill it??? Or what r other ways. and if i wanna put it in risen do i have to take its guts out?? please som1 answer im still a beginner
This is so sweet. I have a honey super I can have the kids decorate. Maybe I’ll add an observation window too. Thanks for the great idea! Subbed.
You are worshiping Satan...
Take your meds moron
is it safe for kids?
"isopropyl alcohol is the final solution." thanks for the holocaust reference you anti semite.
"No animals were harmed?" WHY DO YOU LET YOUR PETS KILL THEM? DO YOU TAKE US FOR MORONS? YOU MURDER ANIMALS THROUGH YOUR PETS!
How thin do you.roll your fondant out too
i love you
if I don't have a microwave...can I heat marshmallows on the stove?
first time I got it right! your shortening in the marshmallows was a game changer! Thank you so much~
I don't know anything about making quivers, but I do know that when you make an axe or knife sheath, you put a an extra piece of leather between the two edges that are going to be stitched/rivited together. It's called a welt, and the purpose is to prevent the blade from slicing into your stitching or cutting through the body of the sheath. I imagine a thick circular piece of leather glued to the floor of your quiver will do a better job than some foam at protecting the bottom from being poked through (especially if you intend on using it for hunting).
What do use with brush to stick the pieces. Beautiful job
You killed honey bees?? That's illegal, by the way.
I mean, in mass scale im sure its illegal, but one or two for study purposes... You seen how many bees are in a hive? Its not really a big loss.
i made this! unfortunately lastminute due to pay day but i made it yesterday/ today , different colours and made the fondant and didnt have the correct piping tip but it looked nice in the end , thankyou for this!
