Thank you for the compliments! I don't think bust darts will make a difference. Actually, they will probably add some shape to the finished dress. I would love to see a pic if you do this project.

Lol! Please share a pic if you make yourself a dress. I would love to see it!

@@RefashioningWithRachel I’ll tag u in a pic!:3

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! This makes me so happy to hear.

Thank you far watching my videos! I actually did not change the neckline at all. I only changed the side seems and armhole seems. It just falls on my body differently after the alterations. I think on the "before" pic, I pulled the shirt a little more toward the back. So the neckline looks higher.

😃

Great question. You could try adding a strip of fabric at the waist. I'm thinking of doing a video about that soon. Also, it helps to start out with the biggest shirt you can find. Sometimes I an able to thrift shirts that are 4x large. They almost go to the floor on me! I have a stash of those but I don't want to make videos with them because I think it might be hard for other people to find them. But definitely I recommend starting with the biggest shirt you can find.

@@RefashioningWithRachel to add fabric at the waist sounds like a great idea! It will intentional. I look forward to your video for that! I will look out for the largest shirts for sure. Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Omg! I hate making button holes. Lol. I'm always trying to avoid them.

Wow. Thank you so much for these compliments. It makes me so happy that there are people out there who find my videos helpful. I am so grateful for all my subscribers and I'm getting more and more every day. I will just keep making videos and hopefully people like them a much as you do! Thank you so much for being you. Good luck with your projects! Please share some pics of them if they work out. :)

It was a queen fitted sheet.

Thank you!!

I'm so glad you like it!

Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you liked it.

Yes, I think in metric but my machine is in inches. I should really choose one moving forward for my videos. Sorry for the confusion. To answer your question, I usually use one cm (1/2 inch) for seam allowance unless I want extra seam allowance for some reason.

Thank you so much!

Than you for watching!!!

Thank you!!!!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you far watching!

Thank you! Even though my embroidery was a bit sloppy, I think it turned out really cute too!

Yay! This makes me so happy to hear!

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

🥰🥰

Thank you! I was really happy with it too. I'm glad you like it.

Thank you! It worked out better than I thought it would.

Yes, I will. That part is hard to explain because it just depends on a person's individual body. But I agree that I should do a better job explaining that step.

Perfect! Send me a pic when it is finished!

Thank you for watching!

Yay! Thank you!

Yes, I would recommend cutting out the collar and then wrapping the raw edges with bias tape. I plan to do a sundress with this neckline in one of my next videos. Thank you so much for watching so many of my videos!

@@RefashioningWithRachel thanks for your prompt reply!

Thank you!

Muchas muchas gracias!

I love the idea of adding pockets! And I'm so glad you like the video. I usually get my thrifted shirts during the day of the week sale when they cost $1.99. A lot of the shirts are nice cotton or linen. And much cheaper than a yard or two of fabric. Plus, it is nice to make something new out of something that would otherwise be thrown away.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the video. I have many more ideas that I have been doing at home. It's nice to make them into videos that some people may find useful.

Thank you so much for the advice and the words of encouragement! I like the idea of a booklet.

I like to just open the collar wider for a more relaxed look and re_iron it. I also seam rip the buttons and put them back down an inch or so closer to the shoulder seams. That's my easy solution at least

I like that idea.

Ah! Yes, but hopefully, the shirt was just thrifted, so you didn't really waste anything special. And it was fun practice. And you could still do something from the scraps of that shirt. I have a pile of failed projects that I'm planning to cut up and turn into a quilt one of these days. I'm also planning to make a video of ideas for scraps of fabric.

Thanks for watching! Pretty much anything with enough stretch is good for undies. So most knits. This project only requires a little fabric, so it's a fun one for scraps or for experimenting with different fabrics. In the end, just choose whatever fabric you like to feel on your skin.

I used a zigzag stitch so it could stretch with the fabric. I'm glad you liked the video!

I just used a standard needle. Thank you for liking the video!

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

Thank you so much 😊

Nice question. I sewed through the cuffs along the underarm seem line which is a few inches away from the button placket. If you look at any button-down shirt and pinch in a little bit of the cuff right where the seem line is, you will see it does not affect the buttons. But you will end up with a seem in the cuff. Which is fine if you sew carefully and make sure the ends line up. Also, finish off the raw edges and stich them down on the inside of the cuff.
