Thanks so much! I'm a pattern maker myself, and at times I forget how to do the actual sewing part 😅 loved the comment about not backstitching the darts, and the bit about gathering the sleeves! 🥰
You're amazing, I'm love with your videos. I started learning how to sew by machine in 2020 and my horizons are more open to patterns and projetos because of you. Before, I just sew simple things because i made all by hand. Now, with your videos, I feel more confident to explore more. And, of course, to take better care of my projets because your videos are so detailed. I love it
This was a really great pattern, and I completed it without any major problems! I am a verrryyyyy beginner, never made a peice of clothing before. I will say, the instructions were a little bare and maybe could use a little more explanation for the super super beginners. But all in all, it was a great pattern! I love my new dress!
I just finished the dress based on the paper pattern and it turned out exactly to way I wanted too 😊 Your instructions in the booklet were clear. I am so proud of me 😀 as I learned to set an invisible zipper in the process. So thank you! It is indeed more than a dress with pockets ❤️ Looking forward to more patterns 😍
I bought my pattern today and am SO excited to get started! So much hard work has gone into these patterns and I am so grateful. I'm still a beginner so this video guide is going to be super helpful for me too. Take care Janelle, love your work xx
I would love to see the sleeveless one with a peter pan collar blouse with sleeves under it. Do you wear it in another of your videos? These are so sweet and exactly my style but can't find to purchase. You make it look so easy! Thanks for all the work you put into your videos and for teaching us!!
Asalama alaikum mam I am your new subscribers iam from Pakistan and want to start my own boutique plz can you guide me your videos are very useful but very fast plz help lwill very tanks ful
This dress looks SO GOOD! I am in love with the flowery one you made in the video, I will for sure make one with this pattern when I have my current projects finished :D Well done, you are a queen!
Absolutely love this style dress I have a top from a shop! Really like all the fabrics you chosen for dress..... and cute as a top! Wow that’s a little high on price!
I absolutely love this dress and would love to buy it but I need just one size bigger. I’m an absolute beginner so wouldn’t feel confident to alter it yet.
Bought the pattern this week and excited to try!! Sizing is always so different from pattern-to-pattern so I hope I can learn from my first try what adjustments I may need to make if my sizing is off :p
Hey..gud mrng😊....i really like ur wrk..nd way u speak nd explain everything...i also love sewing😊😊😊...u r an insipiration for me...may god bless u...😍
Hello lovely I think your channel is very informative, thank you. I am a very very :) sewing beginner, I have purchased your Rosa pattern today and will give it a crack...elegant channel..x
So lovely to stumble across your channel! You are definitely an inspiration and a fellow Aussie is always nice to see. Going to definitely purchase your patterns and I even want to purchase the paper form just for the beautiful esthetic of it to keep forever. Can’t wait to see what else you create in the future!
Would you like to tell what type of sewing machine do you use ? Everytime you making or sewing oh it's easy i can do that too meanwhile in the practice oh no i'm a mess 😅 but one thing for sure i got a new info or tricks after watching your videos thank you this is very helpful
You make the most beautiful projects! I love your black dress with the flowers! It's lovely! You are quite the seamstress. I used to so close for our children all the time but haven't many years. Our daughter bought me a sewing machine for Christmas. I had three sewing machines however I lost them in a house fire. Everybody was fine but I did miss my sewing machine. So she brought me a brother sewing machine. I'm just getting used to it again and I hope that I can adjust your patterns because I am bigger than your pattern. It is just so difficult to find beautiful fabric and if you do the price is extremely high. So I hope to follow your links for fabric and see how we do. I have a question do you only wear dresses because looking at your wardrobe it looks like you only wear dresses?
Hey Janelle, I’ve noticed you’re not cutting on the bias, is that because of the stretch in the fabric or is it something you don’t have to worry about with any fabric?
I love this tutorial, it's been very helpful to look at this before I start sewing. Apologies if I have not understood the instructions well, but please someone correct me if I got it wrong - the 1cm seam allowance is included in the pattern so I should cut out the pattern size that fits me on the fabric (i.e. no need to cut out an extra 1cm around the pattern on the fabric)? This is the first ever dress I'll be sewing.
may be a silly question but why do we sew with a sewing machine and then use an overlocker? could you just use an overlocker instead? love my pattern so much thanks for sharing
Hi there - loving this easy to follow pattern and video. I'm having some difficulty with the skirt. I have seemed to created a skirt which is too small. When I look back at the pattern it says to cut the front on the fold and 2 pieces for the back? I'm so confused and can't work it out from the video. Please could someone help me to understand the skirt pieces and how they fit together!
Hi Rosie! Thanks for purchasing my Rosa pattern 🧡 Yes that’s correct, the skirt front template should be cut out on the fold of your fabric, and then the same rectangle template (the same as the skirt front) should be cut not on the fold but instead in two pieces of fabric for the skirt back. This is because the skirt back has a centre seam where the zip will go. If you are still confused, send me an email at hello@roseryapparel.com and I’ll send you a diagram of what I mean!
Can armpit gussets be added? That way you can raise your arms without the whole dress goign up. This looks just like an old vintage schooldress i have. I love it so much!
Hi! Can’t wait to try this pattern. I love the look of this dress, and the casual oversized hang of it. When choosing what size to do: Did you go up a size to give it that over size affect, or is that the look when you design true to size? Hopefully that makes sense!
Great question! I would go up a size if you like an oversized look 😊 I went a size larger then I should’ve but loved the look so it was a happy accident 😄
Hi. Rosary. I really like your work. Could you please show how to make the classic brown and white polka dot dress that Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. I am obsessed with that dress but i am not very sure of how to make it.
Hi!! I absolutely love this pattern and have made it twice now. Just with the sleeves though, how do you know which sleeve is left or right? I’m used to seeing two notches for the back and notch for the front on the sleeve piece with corresponding notches on the armhole of the bodice front and bodice back so you can tell which sleeve is which. Is there a trick you use to be able to tell?? Thank you so much! Absolutely love this pattern.
All the fabric stores in my country are closed because the government has deemed them nonessential services, so I'm thinking of purchasing fabric online from a country that isn't in lockdown
Love it! I cant wait for more patterns. One question: do i have to hand stitch the facing? I rather use a sewing machine and i am not good at hand stitching.
Hi Janelle, I am so excited to purchase this pattern and have a project to complete after I finish my final uni assignments. I am just wondering if it is possible to modify this pattern to have a more scooped neckline? I am not the best seamstress but have made a few items of clothing over time. Do you think it would be easy enough to use the neckline off of a similar dress? Thanks so much
Thank you for doing this video. I appreciate how long they must take. Does it matter if you use jersey needles in your overlocker to sew woven fabrics? As that's what's in mine. If I have to change them can I use sewing machine needles or should I use special overlocker ones? Good luck with your pattern. It looks great. X
Totally new to sewing and would like to try this pattern. I was just wondering why the second dress had a lining and the first one didn’t? Was this just preference, or because the second one was a light colored fabric? Just wondering if I missed something. Love the tutorials!❤️
Hi Janelle I made your dress twice. I wanna make it longer so I added 3 inches longer. For some reason it came out to be the same size as the original. And I’m also having difficulty on the zipper when I get to the bottom. I was hoping that you would slow down on this video and show how to sew the bottom of the zipper. On the sleeveless did you put the zipper under the lining? I’m confused 🤷♀️ Hehehehe please explain
Hi! Sorry the video is too quick! I haven’t got a ‘how to sew an invisible zip’ video yet but there are heaps on CZcams if you need a slowed down explanation 😊 As for the sleeveless dress, yes the zipper is enclosed into the lining by sewing the lining onto the zip once it’s attached 😊
With every pattern I have sewn with darts does not work out. I always end up taking the darts out just so can be able to wear it. Is it something I’m doing? Am I not taking correct measurements? I’m at a loss of what to do
Hi Janelle, I just wanted to ask: is there a difference between your Rosa dress pattern and the “perfect” dress pattern? You have tutorials for both but I want to know the difference so I figure out which I like better and suits me better. Thank you!
Hi Janelle! I just purchased this pattern and I'm excited to use it! My question I have is; what fabrics do you recommend to use for this pattern? I can't find that information anywhere on the pattern or instructions. Thankyou!
Yay thank you so much for purchasing it! You can use any fabric really! Cottons work well, but you could also use stretch fabric and if it’s stretchy enough you could skip the zip part 😊
I had 2 meters of fabric for mine and a lot left over, so I’d say you should be on the safe side with 1,5m (doubled) for the sleeved version, maybe even a little less :)
Thank you! There’s a ‘size guide/how much fabric you need’ image in the pattern listings but usually 2-2.5 metres is enough and yes quilting cotton would be perfect! 😍
Hi! I am currently trying to make this dress and I’m cutting out the pieces, and I can’t wrap my brain around the skirt piece. I’m not sure how to cut it out. From what the pattern looks like. The skirt of the dress is 3 pieces? I’m very confused
Hi there! Yes, the skirt is made up of three pieces. For the front, cut the template out on the fold, and for the back cut two of the template (not on the fold). The two back pieces are joined together when the zip is attached 😊
I have never sewn before but with all of this quarantine stuff going on and working in a retail store, I would really love to learn!! I’m 17 so definitely have time! I was planning on buying the singer talent for my first machine. Is there any supplies I absolutely need so I don’t forget anything?
Once you have a machine, you can do a lot with fabric, thread, pins and a scissors! If you have an iron at home to do the pressing with, that's great, and will help your seams and hems turn out more neatly. :) And then of course whatever notions (buttons, zippers, elastic, etc.) your particular pattern calls for. There are so many super easy projects that you can do to get started, and lots of youtube tutorials. Happy sewing!!
Brooke Carmichael Quarantine is the perfect time to sew, it’s so addicting! You definitely need a seam ripper, it’ll become your best friend 😂 it might come with your sewing machine. Also: some high quality fabric scissors, pins and clips (they really come in handy with delicate fabrics, in general I prefer them to pins) and some fabric marker pens (a light and a dark chalk pencil will do). Also, if you really feel like sewing is your thing, get a rotary cutter and cutting mat! It’ll change your life, trust me! So much faster and accurate! Have fun!
@Brooke Carmichael: As someone who has seen for over 50 years, I just did research on the Singer Talent machine and I wouldn’t recommend it, even with good reviews. Singer has a drop in bobbin and many times it is very frustrating because it tangles up while it is winding the thread on. I learned on one of these. Janelle uses a Brother and I have heard good things about Brother machines and they are inexpensive. I love my old Bernina. I have a post about it on my website. Have fun sewing!!
Hi Janelle, quick question! Is it ok to use a cotton jersey fabric to make this dress? (10% stretch- I have some handy :) )? Is there anything you would change then, e.g. using a zigzag stitch throughout? Thank you!!
To be honest I’m not that experienced with jersey fabrics, but it should be fine! If it’s stretchy enough you may not need to put a zip in, and if you use a stretch needle it should work fine! 😊
Hey Jenelle, I’ve just purchased the Rosa pattern ☺️ just wondering how many metres of fabric is required or size 14/16. Many thanks in advance. First time sewing project 😀
Thanks so much for purchasing my pattern! 🧡 All the info is included in the instructions/on the back of the pattern, but for 14/16 you will need about 3 metres depending on the version you’d like to make 😊 Have fun making it!
Hi Janelle! I may have missed it in the video (really sorry if I did) but is it possible to make the skirt part of the dress longer? such that it reaches midcalf-ish? if so, what changes must be done to the pattern? Thank you!
Hi. I'm looking to get this pattern, but a couple of questions. It looks like there is a very large seam allowance, especially a few places. Does it specify in the instructions how much to use where, as it's different in different places? If not, how can I go about picking the right size to where I can sew on the line and cut my own seam allowance? Looks like a great pattern, and I really want to try it.
@@RoseryApparel thank you for the response. Good to know. It just looked like in the video that it was 2-3cm some places and 1 cm other places. And I'm not talking about top stitches. I'll take another look. Thanks again.
Thanks so much! I'm a pattern maker myself, and at times I forget how to do the actual sewing part 😅 loved the comment about not backstitching the darts, and the bit about gathering the sleeves! 🥰

Can you go a little slower on the zip being attached to the lining? Love your work!!
w mee I agree with you.
So good! Congrats Janelle, I think I’ll buy 2 patterns to send to my mum and sister to do together in isolation. Perfect timing, thank you 😊
Awww. That's so sweet!
Just bought it and I'm making this for the first day of school!

Bought the pattern this week and excited to try!! Sizing is always so different from pattern-to-pattern so I hope I can learn from my first try what adjustments I may need to make if my sizing is off :p
Hypothetically, Would it be possible to make dress with sleeves with lining aswell?
Lined bodice attached to unlined sleeves?
I was just wondering how you would go about doing that...Would love to know
so excited that you're selling patterns now:)
Yay so happy you’re excited 🧡

Am your new subscriber, u seem to.make sewing easy, thank u
Thanks for following along! 🧡
Very nice 👌👌
Seus vestidos são lindos!!!
What did you use for the lining in the second dress? I've checked all the instructions - I might be missing it. I absolutely LOVE your pattern!
Thank you! 🧡 I used a cotton fabric. It’s always good to just use a fabric similar to your main fabric for lining 😊
All the fabric stores in my country are closed because the government has deemed them nonessential services, so I'm thinking of purchasing fabric online from a country that isn't in lockdown
lovely!
Thanks you 🧡
Love it! I cant wait for more patterns. One question: do i have to hand stitch the facing? I rather use a sewing machine and i am not good at hand stitching.
You don’t have to hand stitch if you don’t want, sometimes I don’t stitch it down at all and just tuck it in when I wear it 😊
Rosery Apparel 🌹
I love all your dresses..but i can't make one right now cause all the stores ate closed due to lockdown..huhu
I had to hand sew the gathers to this dress but my dress is perfect

Hello, can you tell me the size of the zipper? And can I use 100% cotton fabric ? Thank you !!! I love your work!
Thank you! The zipper is 51cm and yes cotton is perfect!
Totally new to sewing and would like to try this pattern. I was just wondering why the second dress had a lining and the first one didn’t? Was this just preference, or because the second one was a light colored fabric? Just wondering if I missed something. Love the tutorials!❤️
The first one uses a facing instead because of the sleeves. It's easier than trying to fully line a sleeved dress. You can do it but it takes longer
so beautiful like
Hi, what length zip should I use for the small pattern? Thanks
When will you have this pattern in the larger sizes?
Me encantaría que tus videos tuvieran subtítulos a español ☹️❤️
Hi Janelle I made your dress twice. I wanna make it longer so I added 3 inches longer. For some reason it came out to be the same size as the original.

They were both 100% cotton fabric 😊
Hello! I purchased the pattern and am excited to make it! just wondering if it's the dress sizes are US or UK sizing? Not sure about AUS sizing :)
Thanks so much for purchasing my pattern! To figure out the right size for you, use the size guide here: www.roseryapparel.com/sizing-1 😊
Love it! I want to do it now, but what fabric do we need? And how much?? I would like to know before buying the pattern, didn't see it on the website
I just saw you put poplin cotton, would quilting cotton be okay? or another fabric?
I had 2 meters of fabric for mine and a lot left over, so I’d say you should be on the safe side with 1,5m (doubled) for the sleeved version, maybe even a little less :)
@Sarah Saggiante Quilting cotton will work beautifully!
Thank you! There’s a ‘size guide/how much fabric you need’ image in the pattern listings but usually 2-2.5 metres is enough and yes quilting cotton would be perfect! 😍
Oh, thats right, I got mine at a fabric market, i think it was a little wider than usual, 2-2,5 meters is probably safer :D

@Brooke Carmichael: As someone who has seen for over 50 years, I just did research on the Singer Talent machine and I wouldn’t recommend it, even with good reviews. Singer has a drop in bobbin and many times it is very frustrating because it tangles up while it is winding the thread on. I learned on one of these. Janelle uses a Brother and I have heard good things about Brother machines and they are inexpensive. I love my old Bernina. I have a post about it on my website. Have fun sewing!!
Hi Janelle, quick question! Is it ok to use a cotton jersey fabric to make this dress? (10% stretch- I have some handy :) )? Is there anything you would change then, e.g. using a zigzag stitch throughout? Thank you!!
To be honest I’m not that experienced with jersey fabrics, but it should be fine! If it’s stretchy enough you may not need to put a zip in, and if you use a stretch needle it should work fine! 😊
Hi Janel! Do you have link where to buy those patterns? I love your dresses and I'm currently learning from Philippines. More powers! 😃
Hi lovely! Thanks for being interested in my patterns 🧡 You can find them here: www.roseryapparel.com/shop
Hey Jenelle, I’ve just purchased the Rosa pattern ☺️ just wondering how many metres of fabric is required or size 14/16. Many thanks in advance. First time sewing project 😀
Thanks so much for purchasing my pattern! 🧡 All the info is included in the instructions/on the back of the pattern, but for 14/16 you will need about 3 metres depending on the version you’d like to make 😊 Have fun making it!
I bought the pattern.
But What about a seam alloawnce?!
Thank you for purchasing the Rosa! The seam allowance is 1cm (all the info is in the instructions) 😊
Hi Janelle! I may have missed it in the video (really sorry if I did) but is it possible to make the skirt part of the dress longer? such that it reaches midcalf-ish? if so, what changes must be done to the pattern? Thank you!
Yes you can! There are two skirt lengths available, and one is a cute midi length 😄
Hi. I'm looking to get this pattern, but a couple of questions. It looks like there is a very large seam allowance, especially a few places. Does it specify in the instructions how much to use where, as it's different in different places? If not, how can I go about picking the right size to where I can sew on the line and cut my own seam allowance? Looks like a great pattern, and I really want to try it.
Yes it specifies the seam allowance in the instructions 😊 It’s the same seam allowance throughout, except the gathering part on the skirt and sleeve.
@@RoseryApparel thank you for the response. Good to know. It just looked like in the video that it was 2-3cm some places and 1 cm other places. And I'm not talking about top stitches. I'll take another look. Thanks again.
Amazing! How many yards of fabric will I need for each dress?
About 2-3 metres depending on the style and size. You can find this information on my website 😊
Great video. Does the pattern that comes in the mail have instructions?
Yes it does 😊
Is that a standard sort of price for a pattern? I have no idea on pricing but it seems expensive. I thought hand making your own clothes was cheaper?
The prices are in AUD which is pretty reasonable I think 😊
