    Your dress is absolutely the cutest thing I have seen in a long time. You have a true talent when it comes to sewing and seeing something in a flat piece of fabric that can turn into a fabulous dress. Love your kitchen. Love your refrigerator.

      You are right about the insert above the refrigerator making a difference. What a charming and sunny look The dress you made from a tablecloth is so creative and cute. How thoughtful of you to include sewing something for or with your nieces. Your videos are always refreshing and I look forward to each new one.

      The dress is super cute. You are no way a beginner in sewing when you created a beautiful dress like you did. My Mom made all of my sisters and I clothes when we were growing up, she would be impressed with this dress.
      Also the wood piece over the refrigerator is stunning. Such a great addition.

    Good morning Andrea! Your tablecloth dress turned out beautiful😍🤩 As a hand embroiderer with more than 60 years experience it just makes me so happy to see new young homemakers such as yourself turn our much loved but not longer popular hand done items into fresh new garments. Also loved the embroidered buttonholes you added to your dress.
    Tablecloths like that take hours and hours of skilled work to produce and it saddens me greatly to see them tossed aside.

    When working with corduroy, remember there is what is called a ‘nap’ direction. This means all of your pattern pieces must be going in the same direction. I am sure you can find a video that shows how to do this. Good luck.

    Your vlogs are a joy to watch!😭🥰 and that dress😲😲😲I can't even!!! I enjoy sewing but mostly make clothes for my 2 and 4 year old but you make me think that maybe I should try sewing something for myself too. Also I love how there's so many different varieties of sewing styles out there and yet so much to learn from each other (similar to cooking). I definitely have my own way of sewing but I get so inspired by other sewists, too😊.

  • @mollymay8998
    @mollymay8998 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Loved the whole video! Your dress turned out so well and way to go on the pattern placement in cutting it out. I also really love the buttonhole design you did. Excellent tools really make certain jobs so much more enjoyable! I've had issues with necklines gapping and you can sometimes avoid them if you baste the top together with pins and pull the front piece up at the shoulder seam to make a new seam line. I've also pinched out a small wedge at the neckline on the paper pattern. Kinda tricky to explain without showing! I hate to leave a comment zeroing in on one tiny "issue" and leaving unsolicited advice when it really is such a lovely dress. Just hope it's helpful!

    • @Oursweetsunnydays

    What you made with the tablecloth is what is called a mock up. It’s of like a first draft and practice run. It is done to test the pattern and to make sure of any changes or adjustments before making it with either the real piece or more expensive fabric. I’ve made a few in less expensive cloth to test whether I like a pattern on me.

    I’ll tell you an easy way to set sleeves , no it’s not professional ,I’m Mennonite and we wear dresses all the time and sew all of them ourselves. Hope this doesn’t get to long .. but I sew the darts in the bodice first , then sew the shoulder seams together, then gather the sleeve top (unless it’s a fitted sleeve )then set the sleeve into the hole leaving the side seams open . Set the sleeve sew the skirt unto the bodice front and back , then start at the bottom of the sleeve and sew the side seam all the way down to the bottom of the skirt .Hope this makes sense .
