An amazing tutorial Michelle, thank you. I have to admit the instructions confused me when it came to attaching the sleeves but your sewalong is so clear that I now have a completed bodice. Thank you 😊
Michele, this is a fabulous and detailed sew-along. And oh my Lord you did an incredible job of sewing. It sure is a labor intensive dress to sew but your camera angles were spot on. I loved the close ups you did when you were showing us how to attach the sleeves to the bodice. I seriously think I could construct most of this dress by your video alone. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your sew-alongs . And the part where Bentley was voicing his opinion was adorable. I just love your cats. I now have a miniature Bentley. He is a very light blonde Tabby and I named him Buster. He is very vocal and so smart. I did a little research on Tabby cats and had no idea they were so smart and affectionate. I will say I've spoiled mine rotten but I don't mind a bit. He knows he's loved. Again, your Mabel dress turned out so beautiful and you look great in it.
Ahh thank you so much for your lovely feedback on my video that is so kind of you to say ❤️ aww make sure you give Buster a massive cuddle from me as sounds like a lovely little chap 😻
I serged my neckline before joining it and it was so much easier. Thank for the tutorial. I’m almost done with my Mabel and I’m excited
All you have to do to lower the waist is add about 3-4 more rows of sheering to the skirt. I've done that to a rtw thrift store dress for my g'daughter. It's easy peasy to add the extra rows. Just unpick a couple inches of both sides below the last row of sheering.
Thank you for such an easy to follow video, my Mabel pattern is enroute so i am really pleased i found you tutorial. New to sewing and I have only ever made the Nell peplum top, love Tilly's instructions but it is great to have this to follow as well. X
I am sewing this now and so glad I had your instruction for adding the sleeves to the bodice, that was tricky! ❤
So pleased it was helpful 😁
You are so good at this and so lucky to have misty to help 😂
Thank you for the sew-along. I enjoyed this one. I really liked the camera angle seeing the camera over your shoulder as opposed to in the corner. It gets really hard watching an hour sew-along when you can't see much.
Thank you! I am so pleased that you enjoyed it 😁
Thank you Michelle…loved watching the sew-along. You look fabulous in the finished garment. Added bonus seeing your gorgeous cats making an appearance 😍
Beautiful! Loved the joy you showed sewing your dress. Hope you enjoyed the wedding do.. Great sew along video, thank you, and great sewing tips along the way. Your sewing assistants stealing the show again 😉😆🐈⬛ x
Great sew along. I didn’t think much of this pattern at first but the beautiful fabric you paired with it just makes it. I’m glad you got to wear it out. Always nice to see your cats since I don’t have any at the moment.
Love your sewalongs, always so expertly done. Mabel looks really lovely on you on you Michelle. The fabric is gorgeous. Thank you. Love to Misty and Bentley xx
Lovely summer dress. Excellent choice on fabric. I think it can be casual, or dressy depending on accessories. I’m sure you looked smashing at the reception and you were comfortable to boot.
Oh my goodness. Beautiful! I was thinking a wedding was needed somewhere for you to wear it to!❤. Good job!
Perfect timing -this is my next project
Thank you for the wonderful Mabel sewalong … and for the kitty cuddles along the way 🐈⬛ 💕
The dress looks so beautiful on you! Excellent fabric choice. Thank you for the sew along!!
Thank you for this fabulous sew a long. I feel confident to make my own Mabel now! Yours is fabulous 😊
A very nice video, Sewing Bunny. I like that pattern and may have to try it. I've never purchased anything from Tilly and the Buttons before.
Great sewalong video Michelle, the dress is gorgeous on you and lovely fabric you will get great compliments when you go to your friend's wedding, i really enjoyed the sewalong and good tips you give, have a lovely day, thanks for sharing x
It's really lovely on you Michelle. Queen of the sew a long yet again. Always so brilliantly explained. Thank you 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Haya hun. Wonderful tutorial 💙Funny thing is today I thought of you when I filmed about my Mabel makes (vlog out tomoz) When I told you about the front tie not being functionable, that is why I opted to make mine functionable & omitted the front elastic ☺I also dislike the seam down the front which is why I cut mine on the fold 🙂I am thinking of maybe doing a vlog of how I do it, then link your fantastic tutorial for people to go watch, yay 🤩Now you have the shirring bug, you will want to shirr more 😍Awwwww Misty & Bentley 😺😺💙💙🐾🐾Really liked everything you were wearing 🤩The fabric you chose for your Mabel is beautiful 🤩You look amaziiiiiing 🥰Hope you have a lovely time at the reception 😀Thanku 'sew' much for sharing, all your hard work & time bringing us your sew along. Give cuddles to your fur-babies for me 🪡✂🧵🙂xx
Thanks for such a great video, you have demystified the process!! I can’t wait to get started 👍😊
Well done with your tutorial, not easy in places to let the camera see exactly what the procedures are. Love the fabric you chose.❤
Michelle your dress looks beautiful on you great sew along xx
You are amazing at these tutorials. Your dress looks amazing, it's great to see the fabric sewn up. It makes me want to sew up mine. X
Thank you so much for this! I have been crossing my fingers someone would do a really good Mabel tutorial for weeks now! This is very helpful as I begin my first Mabel in dress form. I have sewn two "wearable" Toile blouse versions.. one just felt too short on the bodice (I'm 5 ft 4) so I lengthened the second by almost two inches and much prefer it. Hoping my dress will work. Thank you again for your invaluable Mabel sew along!
Fantastic really clear and a beautiful end product gorgeous 🙏❤️💙💚
This was a very good tutorial, you gave every detail. I had considered this pattern but the pattern envelope pictures- the dress looked a bit frumpy. Now that I see it made up it looks very nice as to be dressed up or just a day dress. Thank you.
This is a lovely dress, you’ve done a great job…😊🇦🇺
add more shirring lines down to your waist line and that should solve the waist issue... great make!!
Thank you michelle for another enjoyable sew along i love your sew alonges i look forward to the next one x
Thanks for sharing your sew-along! You are sooo good at explaining everything you do and why! And you look so lovely in the dress, it’s so romantic and feminine! I was also thinking (as another comment) that there must be a way to avoid the front seam and also make the tie string functional. Another change I thought of when you were struggeling attaching the bodice to the skirt - why not cut out the bodice and skirt as one piece? And then draw lines with chalk where the shirring goes. In that case you can do the shirring last of all and place it after trying the dress on, tie a ribbon round your waist an make markings. You would get an even smoother feel round the waist when you’re wearing the dress as well.
I've been quite nervous to try this pattern as I'm relatively new to sewing but your sew along has been so helpful! It's super detailed and easy to follow. I'm definitely going to try this pattern next. Thank you :)
Grear sew along, thank you x
You’re welcome 😊 thank you for watching
Absolutely brilliant sew along! Attention to detail is amazing. Thank you so much 😊. The dress looks gorgeous on you. 😍
Thank you so much!
Great sew along thank you 👍💖
Great sew along. The dress looks wonderful on you. Congratulations on learning a new skill too! I tried hand winding the bobbin and couldn’t get the tension consistent between bobbins. I ended up winding it with my machine and it turned out perfectly.
Thank you for this Michelle 😊
You are so welcome! ❤️
Thank you for a lovely sew along, I have this pattern and I am going to have a go at making it. Please could you do a sew along to Tilly and the Buttons Skye sun dress, that would be amazing if you do a tutorial on that dress.x
Great idea! If I make it then may be 👍
Hi Michelle, as you know I love your sew-alongs. The Mabel dress came out great.😍🙌🏾
Thank you so much Denise xx
Thank you for one again blessing us with a clear, concise tutorial. I love your version. This pattern is on my To Do list ❤
You are so welcome! 🥰
Just found your tutorial and found it very useful thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Many thanks for such a lovely clear sew along,the dress looks lovely on you.Hugs xx Jean.
Thank you! 😊 so pleased you enjoyed x
Just finished watching this. Whilst I’m doing the ironing I might add! Needed something to past the time!You are such a lovely presenter! You did a lovely job on the dress and it looks fab on you too. 👍
Fab tutorial Michelle! I’ve just about finished my version and your help was much appreciated 😊. I feel like mine feels loose on me and will probably use shorter elastic for the sleeve head and top of the front bodice next time. I was worried the waist would be too high so I just used 3/8” when adding the skirt to the bodice which seems to be ok for me I think. Yours is absolutely beautiful! Xx
It is so cute. I loved the video, you explain every step well.
Yes, I think I will have a go now too. Thank you.
Have fun!
Such a beautiful make. Love it❤
Thanks so much 😊
You are such a wonderfu;l teacher, Michelle. I thought I didn't like the Mabel dress, but you've just made it truly fascinating. Your excitement & enthusiasm are contagious :)
I really enjoyed watching this, thank you so much :) x
You are so welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed x
Oh it’s lovely - I’ve got one cut out so thanks so much for the tutorial ❤
Thankyou Michelle for a wonderful sew along . Absolutely great second time I have followed you. Both items turned out fab with your help. Last time I followed your palisade pants. You really are great thank you once more.
You are so welcome! I am so pleased to hear that you find them helpful 🥰 x
Lovely and super clear sew along. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching 😁
Well done Michelle 👏👏 the dress looks lovely x
Love the video Michelle. Maybe I may try some shirring ??!!! The finished dress looked stunning, hope you enjoyed the wedding xx
I’ve been debating for a while now whether to buy the Mabel pattern, but after watching your sew along I have done so as well as some beautiful fabric, I’m going to make it for my holiday, thanks so much 🧵🪡✂️
That’s great! I have worn mine loads on my holiday it’s now a firm favourite 👍
Absolutely darling! Well done Michelle!
Beautiful dress and another great sew along. X
Thank you so much 🥰
I completely laughed when you tried on the skirt part. I laugh now even thinking about it. The waist not hitting you in the right place is a bit disappointing. I am 5'10" and I always add one inch of length to my bodice pieces for anything I see drafted for 5'6" after making several dresses where the waistband floated above my natural waist. The dress looks beautiful on you though!
Dress looks much nicer on you than the models on pkt
Ah thank you 😁
You are amazing at these! Dress looks fab! Xxx
I think Tilly drafts for 5’5” so it would make sense for you to lower the waist
Beautiful!!!
Wow thank you v much 😊 X
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for the video. You look so pretty! ✨
Amazing tutorial,thankyou so much❤
Lovely 🙂
Beeeauutiifullll 😍
🇨🇦😃 wonderful!
Thank you for a great sew-along. And what a beautiful dress you made! But what I don't get is that they have you shirring the skirt before it gets attached to the bodice. You'd think it would be way easier to first attach and then do the shirring. 🤔
Thank you! I think they do the skirt this way maybe as an easier way for beginners? Doing the shirring on a single flat bit of fabric… maybe.. I am not sure really 😂
Love the dress. Great sewalong. Thank you
What type of tracing paper do you use?
I use tracing paper from Morplan, you can get quite a long roll of it and it is quite nice
Great tutorial as usual thank you so much.
Would you mind letting me know what copying paper you use and where you get it from. 🙏♥️😘
Yeah this one is from morplan I get it on a big roll x
Fantastic sew along as usual. I always look forward to them.
Can you tell me how many meters of fabric you used and the width. I have 2.5 meters of 115 and wondered with pattern textris whether it’s possible I will manage to make a dress
Thank you! I had 3m which was about 140wide and I used about 2.5 so it maybe a squeeze with a narrow fabric. You maybe able to do with some pattern Tetris or by shortening the skirt? X
@@SewingBunny thank you Michelle
I am just starting on my journey.Your sew alongside are exceptionally well explained.Can I ask do you always trace your patterns .My be a silly question can I ask the reason Just being a beginner was just not sure why
Thank you! I trace my patterns as I don’t want to cut out the main pattern and then find that I need to make an alternative size either for myself if my body changes or if I make for other people. It also helps for me as I often grade between sizes and I find it easier to do using tracing paper. Lots of people cut the main pattern out but it is my preference to trace x
I would love to know where you got your tracing paper please, mine is not very good tears really easily
I get mine from Morplan 😁
Can you please tell me how high is your sewing table and chair ? ❤ from Antwerp / Belgium.
I love your sewalongs.
Thank you! The table is just a breakfast bar that I used to use a a dining table in my old house I don’t have the exact height but it’s breakfast bar height 🤣 x
I noticed you have the wrong sides together when cutting, the pattern instructions show right sides together, does it matter?
I always cut wrong sides together. When the fabric is on the fold it doesn’t matter as it will look the same regardless it’s only if you cut on a single layer you have to be careful of placement 😁
xXX👍👍👍
