    I thought your hair looked great also, but am cautious with certain compliments because i don't want someone to think "oh, i don't usually look good?" 😂😂. Not that you would necessarily think that...🙂

    @wannabetrucker7475 Před 8 dny

    It's funny, i cannot hear any strange speech patterns from your retainer. People I've worked with wear braces especially now that implants are available. I need dental work but cannot afford it right now. Yes, the m word is unalive, well you know the drill. Absolutely block trolls 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Nip it in the bud. Trolls make me so mad

    I'm separating my comments because I know comments help with the dreaded algorithm. That was SO nice that people came over and complimented your husband while you were at that function .... I'm proud of him and I don't even know him...😊.. well, I am proud of of him for his fine service for our country 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    Congratulations on getting your braces off. It's a good feeling, isn't it? The girls' dresses are so pretty and they will look beautiful in them. I'm sorry to hear that your father-in-law passed. I'm sure you and your husband have wonderful memories of him. The cameo is absolutely stunning. Your husband did good.

The pink linen fabric looks really pretty. Great idea making a, "practice dress" first! Yes, I love, love, love the TEAL AND ORANGE fabric! What a bummer you have to go to the fabric store!!! 😂 Condolences to Mr. Wandering Sewist on the loss of his Dad. 🕯️The Cameo is gorgeous! 💫✨ Happy 23rd Anniversary!! ✨💫 Congratulations on getting your braces off!! 🤩🥳 You have a beautiful smile!!! 😁 Have a great weekend and see you soon!! 💚

    Teal and Orange for tall. The Indians print would look great as a top for you. Indian print would also look nice as a skirt.

    I would not cut off the pants. Just hem. The next pair you plan to make in the smaller size cut to the length you need and hem. I think they look nice on you. Grandma Sue in Central Indiana

    @made_it_sew Před 28 dny

    The dresses are so beautiful. The girls are going to love them ( I bet they want to wear them every day after the wedding). I made a princess costume for my niece once and her mom wouldn’t let her wear it until Halloween- after that she wore it everywhere! Hopefully you’ll be able to see their faces when they get them.

  • @GotMySnarkyNanaPantsOn

    Looks so much neater doesn't it and you can see what you have better too.

  • @GotMySnarkyNanaPantsOn

    Hi Diana, I'm just watching this video through again because I can't remember watching it lol sorry and wanted to say I watched a sewing hack the other day with many tricks to help the sewing process. One was if you have a slip sliding material not cooperating with the machine needle is to put tracing paper under the material and it helps stabilise it.

    Funny 😂 I love all the things you didn’t! I am not keen on the neckline like an arrow head BUT in light of the busyness of the design I see it as balancing out the rest. I have a vintage barkcloth I am going to give it a whirl in 😊

    How exciting to have such a distinguished visitor to your husband’s office! My daughter baked the sourdough chocolate chip cookies recipe and they were delicious like soft batch cookies. I also have the Pampered Chef apple peeler & corer & slicer that we have used for years. We often get vintage apples half price at the market for baked goods. The flower girl bodice looks so sweet with vintage buttons & gingham checked fabric for the lining.

    Those dresses are so precious. Have you thought about using water soluble thread on the tulle? You could then just spray it with water and that line would go away.

    • @TheWanderingSewist

      No I didn’t! But if the thread dissolves won’t the seam come apart?

    Hello Diana! I love the shorts and shirt you're wearing! The girls dresses are coming along nicely! Yes, I know who the mystery VIP is, what an honor! How exciting! Great pictures! I watched some videos about how to repair a frayed shirt collar. Some recommendations are to replace the entire collar with a like colored fabric, or, trim off the damaged part and repair it with extra fabric, which I'm thinking you don't have any. You might, if you can, remove the collar and replace it, even if it's with a solid color fabric. Good luck! Have a great weekend!

    The blue satin dress is going to be gorgeous! You’ll enjoy the bias maker set. I use mine lots! It’s been years since I’ve made a satin dress and used tulle. I made a dress for my 2 year old (at the time) granddaughter. I did rolled hems on the satin and left the tulle edges raw. I’ve done that with prom dresses, too. You might want to try a rolled hem on a practice piece of tulle to see what results you get. There would be only one line of stitching. 😘 Sew with joy!

  • @Sewmore
    @Sewmore Před měsícem

    Put a tape measure around your hips and hold it while you sit down on a chair and let it slide thru your hand and expand check it to see what the measurement is then then you will have a better idea what size hips should be and leave a little ease depending on the stretch of your fabric
