I think it looks better longer
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...🙂
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
Absolutely!
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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes! Thank you!
Wow, what a surprise, but very pleasant. Lots of parties and child things👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. It is so hot here that i sleep under a/c during day ans am up at night...so didn't see you were live.
Thanks for visiting
Love your hair ❤
Thanks Marjorie! It’s me natural texture and I’m growing out my natural hair color
God all our for your son's wedding! I wore full length with beadedbodice for Spring outdoor afternoon ceremony for my son's wedding. Mother of bride also can feel elegant for the wedding. You will compliment the bride.
Thanks for the advice!
Such a pleasant Sunday surprise.
Your hair looks fantastic!
Oh thank you!
I love number one. Absolutely beautiful fabric. But both are very pretty. Your girl's dresses are so nice and sewn so well! So sorry about your FIL. May he RIP.
Thank you so much!
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.
Yes! Thank you! I am glad to have my teeth straight but I don’t ever want to do that again!
The teal and orange is my favorite for you. The girls dresses are beautiful ! Happy Sewing 😊
Thank you! 😊
The dresses turned out so beautifully!! Bravo for tackling so many new techniques and fabrics 👏🏻 Yay for getting your braces off! I remember obsessively rubbing my tongue over my teeth for the first few days when I got mine off.
Thank you!! 😊 Me too! But now I have a fun retainer to wear all the time for 2 months.
The wedding dresses are beautiful! The fabric for your dress is gorgeous, I love it and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished project. Happy anniversary to you. I think either fabric will be great. Happy sewing
Thank you so much!
The dresses are beautiful. Also, love your cameo.
Thank you so much!
👋 Hello Diana! I love the outfit you're wearing! It looks so nice! The dresses turned out very well!! Heirloom keepsakes!! I bet you feel so good that the girls dresses are done!! 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!! 💚
Thanks so much!
Definitely the #2 teal and orange. Those blue dresses are absolutely gorgeous for your granddaughters.
Thank you so much!
Your granddaughters' dresses are incredible!!
Thank you!!
Teal and orange
I love your Cameo!
Thank you!
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 like it!
Oh a cameo, ❤❤❤ how sweet of him, my mom and aunt collected cameos ..wish i had them , and no more braces pain 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Yay!
Oh darn, you have to go fabric shopping 😂😂😂 i like the teal and orange, but everything looks good on you . Condolences to your family ...
Thank you! 😊
You might be down the inch by the wedding.. anything by DvF is always sleek
It has to be depressing to get that far along and then have to start over 😵💫, but they're done.
Yes finally!
Yes, last week was busy, the dresses are gorgeous, i love the flower on the waist
Thank you! 🤗
Beautiful makes for the girls. You really went to a lot of work to make sure the dresses were perfect.
Thanks so much 😊 I did! I just finished the last one!
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
Good point! I did exactly that!
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.
That would be great! I will ask my son to make a video of it
Looks so much neater doesn't it and you can see what you have better too.
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.
Darling dress. Love the effect of the overskirts with bound edges over the satin. Only two more dresses to go!
Yes! Thank you!
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 😊
I hope it works out for you!
The dress is beautiful. I’m sure they’ll love your suggestions but it’s a beautiful dress already
Thank you! 😊
That satin dress is gorgeous, I think that maybe some little flowers would be a cute embellishment. Also, the dress you are wearing is beautiful and so perfect for summer. I hope you and your hubs have a lovely anniversary 💝💝
Oh thank you!
Hi Diana! That dress is adorable! Thr bias binding is beautiful - well worth the extra effort. The overall affect is impressive!
Thank you so much! I agree!
😂😢Happy Anniversary 🎉
Thank you!
Hello Diana! WOW! The satin dress turned out very beautiful! The dress you're wearing looks fabulous also! I love that you are relaxing and are doing the things that bring you joy! Enjoy your weekend! I share your videos on Twitter so let's get 1,000 subscribers! Happy 23rd Wedding Anniversary💒🔔🏩💐 on Monday and enjoy your weekend!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support!
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 cookies are sooo addictive! I can’t keep any around.
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.
No I didn’t! But if the thread dissolves won’t the seam come apart?
@@TheWanderingSewist you are right. But you if you are going to cut away one of the seamlines. I thought you could use the water soluble for that seam.
Ah! I understand. I just switched to a regular seam instead.
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!
Thanks! You too!
Wow, I love your dress!! The flutter sleeves is so pretty and feminine 😍. I have this pattern and I want to make it, but I don’t have a fabric to pair with it🤔🤔.
Thank you! 😊Do it! I wouldn’t use a fabric with a lot of structure.
Incredible dress! So princess like!!🥰
Thank you 🤗
Oh yes, I definitely recognize him. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Those little dresses are looking very nice!!! The cotton lining is a very good idea.
Thank you! 😊
Wow! You are in a very distinguished social circle. The girl's wedding dresses are coming along beautifully. You amaze me with your sewing skills.
Thank you so much!
I would just leave it, no one will notice.
Thanks!
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!
Good to know! Thanks!
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
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed watching your pattern haul and just subscribed. I liked all of the patterns and I often buy similar or the exact ones. Thank you
Thanks for subbing!
