This is one of the best sewalong videos I have ever seen, thank you Anita! Love how you sewed in real time with the close ups. Excellent tips and explanations too. It looks beautiful on you. I have this pattern and gauze fabric to try it. How do you tell the right & wrong side of gauze fabric?
Wow, thank you, Tamara! I'm so glad you enjoyed the sew along. With bubble gauze, I find that the texture is raised more on the right side. With regular gauze, I think it's the same on both sides (I think).
@@AnitabyDesign, thank you! I will take a look at mine & stay consistent with my pattern pieces when cutting & sewing them.
She always have the best sew along she does detail by detail and I love that❤❤ I haven’t seen no one like her😊😊
Oh what a blessing!! I am getting married in July and was planning to sew a simple maxi dress. This was the design And look that I wanted. I needed this today!!!
Ooohhh, Audrea! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Wow! Talk about timing! I'm so glad this video will help you get that dress made. Have fun sewing and many blessings to you as you get married.
Can't wait to be a bit more ahead in sewing so I can confidently sew along with you❤ this is fantastic!
I'm SO glad YT suggested you channel! I've been sewing for about thirty years, but am self-taught....can I just say, I learned so much just from this tutorial! I started out making costumes, but have started sewing my own dresses. I'm right at the section in the video where you sewed along either side of the skirt slit and OMG that is SO much easier than how I've been doing it! I'm a firm believer that we should never stop learning and can always learn from other seamstresses. I just subbed and look forward to watching and learning even more. Thanks so much for this! I have this pattern and as soon as I find the fabric I want to use, I'm definitely coming back to this for a guide. You rock!
You have just blessed my heart with this comment. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I am with you 100% about how we should always continue learning from each other. When I want to learn anything and find a good tutorial that walks me through the steps, I'm SO HAPPY. So, to hear your excitement makes me feel so good that I can provide value to our sewing community. Have fun sewing your dress when you find the fabric.
Excellent tutorial! As a beginner sewer I really appreciate you showing when exactly you finish seams... Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your energy Anita! I'm an intermediate sewer and LOVE to follow along with you. Just bought a serger and I must admit I'm a little intimidated by it but I'm sure practice makes perfect -- or at least lessens my fear! Thanks for being wonderful you!!
Thank you so much, Melissa. Once you start using your serger, you're gonna absolutely love it.
Excellent tip and starting to sew from the bottom to the top. Dah, why didn’t I think 🤔 of that.
I’m glad you showed your walking foot. I think I need one because I want to make something with double gauze.
Beautiful dress it looks good on you. Keep making those gorgeous outfit. Dress it up or Dress it down. There are alot of people in this world that could use a clothing consultant.
Love ❤️ that dress on you! You made it look classy and elegant!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the detailed tutorial! It's great that this patern is available in digital form also , a great bonus for us your international friends 😊 thanks for being such a great teacher! I have learnt a lot from you! Getting from Greece
Yaayyy! I'm so glad it's available in digital form too. I know how important that is for my international SEW Sisters. 💕
As always, you share all of the necessary details for cutting and sewing a beautifully constructed garment. Thank You!
You are so welcome!
I thought I had enough patterns but this is so cute. I love a maxi and the sleeves are adorable.
I know, Vicky, it's so cute.
That dress is so pretty. Thanks for the sew along- it's so detailed that I'm sure to get it right.
You’re very welcome 💕
I am so glad I found your channel. I’ve been looking for step by step tutorials for specific patterns. They are hard to come by most draft their own pattern ( which I am no way ready for) and or whiz right through the sewing process. Your tutorial was so detailed and the pacing is just right. Please please do more pattern specific tutorials so I can buy the pattern and sew along with you. I really want to make dresses. Thank you.
Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to my channel. I'm so glad you enjoyed the sew along. Yes, I have more tutorials coming.
This is a great sewalong! Please bring more sewalongs to your videos. Thank you Anita 👌
Thank you, I will
Love your shirt!
Sew Pretty Anita! You look Gorgeous!! Thank you!!😀
Anita I love your videos you are a very good teacher keeping coming
Thank you for this video. I am still a newbie with sewing, 2yrs now off and on, and I have recently started watching sew alongs for tips and tricks to doing some of these techniques.
I love how you pin the sleeve cap in before pulling your basting strings to ease fabric in. I have only learned to pull and adjust the ease before trying to place the sleeve in, your way looks so much easier and makes more sense.
Also, I love seeing how you created your slits on the skirt, basting together first, folding and finishing the edges, then removing the basting stitches. I tried one skirt that had a slit and the pattern did not say to do ot this way. Your way looks easier.
I have learned over time to learn different techniques and see how others do them. The patterns tend to tell us to do it a more difficult way or leaves it to your imagination!
Thank you, definitely will watch more of your sew alongs.
You're very welcome, Tonya. Yes, we learn different ways of sewing the garments along the way and find techniques that work for us.Glad to see you searching and learning different techniques.
Fabulous tutorial! I plan to make this dress for spring 2024.
Hello Ms Anita, my name is Kevin McGee, my sister is Kimberly (McGee) Bryant, my mother told me about your CZcams channel. Looks great! Congrats! Just saying Hi✋🏾
KEVIN!!!!!!! Oh, my GOSH! Thank you so much for stopping by to say hello. Great to hear from you. 🤗
Hi Anita! Great sew along! I have that tee in mauve! 🦋
Thank you! Yaaayyy! I'm so glad you like the t-shirt. Thank you for your purchase. 💕💕💕
Ms. Anita, I always enjoy watching your videos. I've been sewing for over 20 years and I still learn something from you. I made a tunic and it called for elastic at the waist as you did in the video. I see what I did wrong! Thank you for the video. 😁
You are so welcome
My goodness you look stunning in that yellow. I’m totally jealous! I love yellow, yellow does not love me 😆
That was a really good sew along. Nice easy dress with a couple of slightly more difficult techniques. Lovely!
Oh thank you!
Crazy about McCall's sewing patterns loved
When i see "Give me Jesus and a sewing machine" i know i'm on the right hymn sheet lol Bless you xxx
Wow such precision! Love the zoom ins and details thanks so much! You’re the best instructor! 🧵🪡
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial.
Oh I just love your teaching ,you are so through,💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much.💕
Excellent sew along. You took the time to show important details.
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the sew along.
I love this dress and shoes. You are working the outfit. ordinarily yellow is not my favorite color, but I have changed my mind. The dress looks great. I love the belt also.
Thank you so much, Jacqueline. You changed your mind? 😂 I love it!!!
Love your sew alongs but I would like to see the process of cutting too and learn how to make some alterations when it comes to non standard body sizes. Many thanks Anita
Hi Alexandria! Check out these videos: czcams.com/play/PLJHwRnWpvYgOfT5UfeRViW7jfdXVuu-qX.html
@@AnitabyDesign Many thanks Anita
Beautiful !
Gorgeous! Love your guidance.
I made this, but messed up the bodice (rookie mistakes), but I plan on fixing the issues. Can't wait to watch your video!
Yaayyy, to second chances. Have fun sewing your dress.
I love your t-shirt, "Give me Jesus and a sewing machine"
Absolutely ❤
I love the fabric!! Great job.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful Anita! Love it.
Thank you so much!
I need that T-shirt! Epic 🔥
so clear and well explained as usual, thank you for sharing 😍
You are so welcome!
Greetings
You have made me want to make this.
Thank you for such a great video!
You are so welcome!
@@AnitabyDesign you make me want to start sewing clothing because you have such excellent teaching and sewing skills. I enjoy your videos, Anita!
What kind of steam iron are you using? It really seems powerful.
It's a gravity feed iron by Silver Star. It's in my Amazon Store. The link to the store is in the description box.
Thank you, I’m short so I have to do some adjustment for bodice and length
You’re welcome 😊 Yes, make your adjustments and enjoy sewing your dress.
I would also love a dress tutorial with in seam pockets. I love your t shirt and would love to know where you got is so I can purchase one too. 😍
Thank you, Elizabeth! Here is the link for the t-shirt. anita-by-design.myshopify.com/collections/tees
Anita, I'm so happy that I found you on CZcams. I love your gentle style as you handle your fabric and guide us alone with your project.
I do have a question. Is there a way to sharpen a seam ripper or do they simply get tossed away and replaced? Also, I was disappointed that I didn't get to see your method and instructions for the elastic waistband that you created a casing for. My searching tonight had been about that very thing.
Thanks again and I look forward to watching your channel.
Hi Gerrie! I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying the channel. There may be a way to sharpen seams rippers but I've never done that. I purchase tiny seam rippers in bulk and throw them out when they become dull.
Hi Anita, I just have to ask you a question...I noticed you are using a gravity feed steam iron and not the Rowenta perfect steam. I just love your channel and I've learned so much from you and thank you so much for all the wonderful teaching you do. It's been several years since I bought the Rowenta steam iron mainly because I saw you using it and just knew it had to be an amazing iron if you were using it. ...it has been a great iron for me but when I saw you using the gravity feed iron I just had to ask you about it and wanted to ask you why you are not using the Rowenta iron...So far my Rowenta has been working great. You know I'm going to want to get a gravity feed iron now that you are using one...LOL..I hope you don't mind me asking you about this. I think you are one of the most accomplished sewist on You Tube and hope you will be so gracious to let me know about your iron choices...Sorry for writing such a long letter here and again, thank you so much for being the shining light that you are.
Hi Cathleen! Oh my heart is just broken over my Rowenta Steam Station. I love that iron more than any other I've tried. The only reason I'm not using it is because I waited too long to remove the tube to clean the calcification. I kept forgetting to clean it and the knob got stuck. I tried removing it with pliers one too many times and messed up the knob. So I can no longer remove it.
The iron is the absolute best and it was user error. Unfortunately they don't sell the same model I had, so I decided to try a gravity feed iron. The new iron is working fine but I don't like that the handle gets hot. The burst of steam on the Rowenta Steam Station was the best.
Use your Rowenta for as long as it lasts. I had that iron for 5 years and it served me well. I looked everywhere online to find another one. I even contacted the company for a replacement part. Nothing.
Your support and trust in my choices are very encouraging to me, Cathleen.
@@AnitabyDesign Oh, I am so sorry to hear about your Rowenta. I had no idea that I need to clean that little calcification tube more often. My gosh I am going to clean that tube tonight for sure. Thank you so much Anita for getting back to me with my question. I just think the world of you. You always seem to shine with goodness. I was watching a you tube video called Joy Bernhartd or Bernhart and she had an iron exactly like ours in her Amazon store. Maybe you can get one from there. Please let me know if I can help you. You have been such an inspiration to me and I would love to be able to help.🌸🌸
Thanks for this beauty
My pleasure 😊
I am SO in love with this dress. SUPER cute 😍!!
I have a problem trying to distinguish the front from the back side of this type of fabric. I would normally mark on it with my water soluble marker but I'm always having to guess since some of the fabrics does not come on the bolts with wrong sides facing out. Is there an easy way to tell the right from wrong side when it looks the same?
Hi Rhonda! When I can't determine which is the right side, I take a pick. Then I label the pieces after I cut them. I usually label within the seam allowance with can "X."
@@AnitabyDesign Never thought about the seam allowance. Thanks!
What kind of iron are you using??
Hi Renia! It's a gravity feed iron. It's in my Amazon Store. The link to the store is in the description box.
Hi, Anita! I'm getting ready to start cutting out my pattern. I bought some bubble gauze. I've washed and dryed it, so should I iron it before cutting it out? Thank you, Kelly
Oh, Kelly, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I would steam it rather than press it to preserve the texture. I only press the seams with the tip of the iron.
Where did you bought your shirt?
I love it!!
I love JESUS and sew.
Hi Yari. Here's the link to the t-shirt. anita-by-design.myshopify.com/collections/tees
Hi Anita. When notching inside curves, can I just trim close to stitching with my pinking shears instead of making individual notches?
Hi Helen! Absolutely yes! The pinking shears work well for this task.
Do you use a walking foot for all your sewing project? Or do trade out and use a regular foot?
Hi Shirelle! I used it the majority of the time, especially with knits. I could have used my all purpose foot for this fabric, but the walking foot was already on the machine, so I left it in place.
@@AnitabyDesign Thank you for responding. Do you feel that the walking foot is better than the regular foot? And not just for knits?
@@AnitabyDesign As I do a lot of sewing and I’m not scared of different fabrics. I do use the walking foot on corduroy and velvet fabrics.
New subscriber here !
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Anita - I have been admiring your site for sometime! I am looking at making this pattern and wondering about a fabric either in a double brushed poly or a lightweight Liverpool knit. What do you think about these fabric choices for this pattern? I am not a beginner and have worked with both fabrics. I am thinking I may need to size down one size for either one of these knits? Thanks so muc!
Hi Cynthia! Yes, either fabric will work with this pattern. Check the finished garment measurements to see if you need to size down.
I learn better in a classroom setting that's just me but I really want to sew...
Hi Jenny! You should check at your local fabric stores and sewing centers. Some of them offer sewing classes in person.
I love this tutorial but I can’t locate this pattern I didn’t see on the site where can I find it?
There's a link in the description box below the video to purchase the pattern.
Hi, Anita! Love love this tutorial! My biggest issue is picking out fabric. Can you suggest where to purchase fabric? The stores that are close to me don't have much to chose from. Any help is appreciated. Kelly
Hi Kelly! I've included links to where you can purchase the fabric in the description box below the video.
@@AnitabyDesign Yay! I ordered black bubble gauze fabric. I'm a little worried that I will have a hard time seeing it. The gold is beautiful on you!
What is you opinion on bias binding instead of facings? I'm an advanced beginner (if that exists, lol), and I went through all my RTW tops and dresses yesterday to see if they had any facings, but saw that most were finished with the fabric bias binding. I just wonder why patterns encourage the use of facings. Thanks.
Hi Mary! I think bias binding instead of facings is fine. The wonderful thing about sewing our own garments is that we get to do whatever we want. Yes, I LOVE it! 🤗
I noticed that you are using the walking foot in certain clips and in other clips you are not. Can you explain the differences in the clips and why you used the walking foot?
Any tips on how to make this into a nursing dress?
Hi Anitria! I'm not sure how to do that.
Has anyone done this pattern with a tie at the waist instead of elastic? (Elastic bothers me). Also thinking of more of a bell sleeve- recommendations welcome!
Also did you find it gapes at the bust? I am small chested but can still have a problem sometimes
Hi Jill. I don't know if anyone has replaced the elastic with a tie. But when you're sewing your own garments, you can do whatever you want. Change it up to accommodate your preferences. You can add a snap if you encounter gapping in the front. I recommend making a muslin first to test for fit.
Why are you moving back and forth between the regular presser foot and the even feed foot?
I didn't even realize I did that but either foot can be used to sew the entire dress.
❤🎉
You did not reinforce your shoulder seams. Does that gauze not stretch?
Hi Carolyn. I've haven't had issues with the shoulder seams.

Beautiful but I can’t locate this pattern

Thank you so much
That is one fabulous iron. It puts my Rowenta to shame.😢
