So wonderful that your can have this bond with your mom.
Hello Karina, you have no idea how many times I have looked at your Mom's Lyric version dresses. That fabric is so beautiful. She looks happy in them. Just thought I'd share with you. 🎉🎉🎉
Wow! One pattern so many stunning looks. You are a master sewer and teacher Karina. I can go on and on complimenting you and your mom. 🤗♥️☕☕
You made me remember my mom, today. When I would come home and do marathon sewing, she would often do my hand sewing finishes. She was faster than I was and it helped me accomplish more in the time I had. Plus,we would visit while we stitched. 😊-Deborah
My mom and I did that, too. She was 92 when she died 2 years ago. I miss her so much.
I’m glad you both have great memories. My mum has been doing lots of hand sewing for me when we are together too. So enjoyable! Much better than sewing alone.
Amazing! Same pattern but such different looks!! The neckline could be varied too just for the fun of it. That green dress makes a statement!! Love it and looks great on your Mom. WOW!
It is beautiful to see you and your mother ❤ gorgeous dresses! I noticed that you both do the catwalk walking very similarly ❤
Yes we do 😀😀
Somehow I missed seeing this vid when first published. The border print linen is stunning. Great job Karina.
Thanks so much!
What a special gift - being able to sew for your mom ❤ She will wear those beautiful dresses with pride. And wow - that floral border print is exquisite!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for showing how you line these dresses. I prefer lining dresses/skirts to wearing a slip. Aside: The bond you have with your family is so joyful and warm. I feel privileged that you video your time with them and share it with me.
Nice dresses. My fav is the last border print one. I'll need to make one :)
I always enjoy it when a member of your family does the twirling! Great dresses and thank you for the reminder. It’s not just about sewing, but the stories and love that go with the make. Your mom looks beautiful in the dresses.
Thank you so much. She’s 72 and I think she’s super cute :)
Your mom is beautiful and the dresses are amazing and your mom rocks them all. My favorite is the green one with the big flowers. I learn so much from you
Thank you so much!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Cannot beat the classics! Love the bright colorful fabrics also! Linen is my favorite in summer! Actually all year around , but denim and chambray are also my go to! Great job young lady!❤
The Lyric dresses you made for your mum are beautiful. Your methods for creating the facings and lining the dresses is very helpful. I hope you find a pattern for the gorgeous border print fabric. Love seeing you and your lovely mum twinning. Thanks, Karina.
Thank you for showing this adjustment. I have a straight body and I don’t look good with full skirt or full dress. So I would do this adjustment
Your Mother is so beautiful in these gorgeous dresses!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this. I cannot see me ever wearing a pencil skirt, but I have to adjust patterns if I am making for my daughter as she likes baggy clothes. Honestly, I make them fit then add inches usually using the grain line so that I keep the original shape. However, for myself, I usually line the bodice for the dress, but it has never occurred to me to make a facing with the dress fabric and make a lining piece. Brilliant idea.
That’s typical of ready to wear.
Love love 💕 that dress print with the flowers. You have the best sewing videos and the best fabric finds.
Those are all beautiful dresses! I am so glad you were able to sew with for your mom while you visited.
Me too!! It’s so great.
Oh thank you so very much for showing this. I am probably older than your Mom but absolutely love these and in particular love the black but also the white border print. I had a dress similar and really miss it, so i am on the hunt for some similar fabric so I can make myself one. ❤Love, love, loved this video. Thank you for all these wonderful techniques.
I’m glad you liked them. I have a lot of fun making these little changes. :)
What a great daughter u are, all the dresses are lovely especially the last one ,great job Karina❤
Your expertise is so impressive. The dresses are beautiful.
WOW! So many valuable techniques in this video! Thank you for leaving the thumbnails posted with enough time to reference them. Your Mom looks stunning in all her dresses! She’s so cute!! 😍
Glad it was helpful!
The fabrics are beautiful and the placing of the flowers are great
It’s great that you recommend hand basting! I agree!
Your Dad will be so proud of you and your mum ❤xxxxxxx
Thanks for reminding me I can put the front on a fold and put a zipper in the back. The buttonholes are what has kept me from making this dress.
Beautiful!!!
I used to sew for my mom, she has been gone for a long time. Your video reminded me of something I had forgotten. Also, I looked at a map and remembered that I used to know the geography of South America. Your dresses for your mom are wonderful.
Thank you so much. Sewing for mother is a blessing and I am doing as much as I can for her.
Lovely and memorable gifts for your mom...I could feel your love for her in your eyes...wonderful makes, neat and crisp🎉❤. You're looking beautiful too. God bless
Thank you so much!
Beautiful stunning dresses. You can never go wrong with sheath dresses. That border print is gorgeous.
I totally agree!
That bold print looks great on your Mum, as does the border print. You've put together a lovely pattern for your Mum.
Your mom is beautiful ❤ lovely dresses. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
That’s so wonderful that you can sew such special dresses for your mom. She looks great in all her versions. And wow, you look so much like her! I’m inspired to get started on fitting the bodice and adding pencil skirt:)
Thank you ❤
Mom looks beautiful in her new dresses! Enjoy them ❤
Lovely dresses for you mom. She’s lucky to have you. And I agree with you about those invisible zippers. I always use the same insertion as you do. Easy.
They are just so easy…. The best.
The fabrics for your mom's dresses. Lovely dresses for a lovely lady. Awesome job Karina.
Love all the dresses especially the last one. Mom looks great in them.
Thank you so much! I think so too :)
The dresses are amazing! Your mom is so beautiful in the dresses!
Such a lovely dress collection for your mum. The floral border fabric is totally amazing 🌹❤️
It really is!
Your mum looks beautiful in her shift dresses. My favourite is the boarder print dress.😊
Mine too!
The dresses for your Mom are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your makes.
You are so welcome!
That border print is gorgeous.
Another place you can put the zipper is in the side seam below the sleeve. The advantage is that the you don't have to change the back, and the zipper is even more concealed even if you are using an invisible zipper.
I find a zipper there incredibly uncomfortable. That’s why I never put them there. I can really feel the stiffness of the zipper there and I can’t feel it on the back.
Lovely dresses Karina...
Thank you! 😊
That border print is beautiful, I have a couple of dresses with that sort of print, but I bought the material in the 1970s, and I haven't seen prints like them since.
Oh wow! I can’t wait to make my version with the fabric :)
Wonderful instructions. I imagine the same shift dress process could be applied to the LN Sonata dress. I love the Sonata neckline on me, but not crazy about the dress shape. This gives me a good idea. Question; how do you fit/drape a back fisheye dart on yourself? 22:52
You need to know the waist height and that were the widest part of the dart is, then it tapers to nothing as you go up and down. I just pin pin pin with the garment on myself. That is a reference. Then on the paper, I neaten them up.
Hi Karina! I almost passed on this lovely dress when I saw all the buttons, my absolute least favourite thing to do. How timely that you have this video with the zipper solution. I imagine I could also do the gathered or flared option skirt with a back zip? Any recommendations on the required length of it?
Thank you.
Yep, you can do the zipper with a skirt seam there. You just need to be careful to line them up horizontally :)
Do you have to adjust the bust darts when you have removed the button placket? 🤔 Will the dart points intrude where we don't want them?
Not at all. They are far from the center. They are not involved at all.
What is the advantage of the facing with the lining? Why not just the lining with under stitching at the neck?
Just the lining is way too flimsy. I wouldn’t do it. The facing is heavier and interfaced and gives the dress structure.
Dear Karina, I've just purchased the pattern and noticed that there's only one skirt pattern. It says both flared and gathered skirt, is there anything wrong or just ok??
I hacked the a skirt to be a pencil skirt here. I explained that in great detail that this was a hack to the pattern. The gathered skirt is a rectangle and the dimensions are in the pattern instructions.
Oh I see.. Thank you very much for the reply, you are so kind ❤ CZcams's best at sewing 👍🥰
What are you wearing?
Chorus top from Love Notions. I have a video all about it :)
I’m sorry but I did not understand how you did the lining🙃🦩
I showed it in detail. The pattern piece? The blue line? I showed how I sewed it. Please detail what you didn’t understand.
