    They’re absolutely lovely, my favourite is the grey with the pin tucks x

      Thank you so much for you comment! I really like that one too. I think it really showcases the pin tucks in a lovely way!

    So many gorgeous dresses, Amelia! I would just love to steal your wardrobe :D I think my favourites are the short-sleeved Wildergown and the Lyra dress with the button placket all the way to the bottom (but they are all amazing)

      Thank you so much for your comment Lea! I really love the Lyra with the button placket all the way down too. I do wear that dress a lot!

    You make such beautiful clothes Amelia! I am very envious of your wardrobe. I need to stop letting my apprehension hols me back and just get on and give some of these woven patterns a go!

      Thank you for your comment! And yes the best way to get started is to go for it (it can be a bit scary though I do understand)! If you are uncertain about a technique. Cut the pieces from scraps/sheets/ unwanted fabric and practice first. I am sure you will be amazing!

    All are beautiful. My favorite one is the midnight blue Halloween dress, because of your placement of the sun. Just excellent ❤

    What an absolutely excellent vlog Amelia - thank you! I found it really helpful, and inspiring, to see the variations you’ve made and appreciate the work you’ve put into both making the dresses and tops, and showing them to us too! You obviously have a really good handle on your preferred styles. I love all the florals!

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you so much for your comment! I am so happy you enjoyed the vlog and it has inspired you. I really love making dresses and tops as you can probably tell! I also love a floral, I find them so joyful to wear!

      Thank you for your comment! I ams sure you will enjoy it if you make any of these patterns! I would love to know how you get on.

    I have the Wilder Gown pattern - thanks for the inspiration! Your gowns are beautiful and I will most certainly make one up with elastic in the waistline.
    Unfortunately, the Marnie Blouse Pattern has been sold out forever! Ugh!
    I also have the Lyra pattern, too! Another forgotten pattern! I probably don't make the dresses so much because they are fabric hungry. But, seeing yours makes me think that I just need to buy some fabric! $$$❤❤❤

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci +2

      Thank you for your comment! I am sure you will enjoy making the patterns. They are quite fabric hungry but definatley worth it! I hope you enjoy making the dresses when you decide to do it!

    Love all your dresses, the Zadie dress looks gorgeous. I’ve got the Lyra pattern and hoping to make it up this year x

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you for your comment! They Lyra dress is a really fun one to make and great to wear to. I am sure you will really like it!

    Your short sleeved Wilder is gorgeous!
    I found a blog that explains how to add a facing to the Zadie and I prefer it over the binding.

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you for your comment! I can see how a facing would make such a crisp finish to the Zadie. I might have to try it next time.

    All your makes are gorgeous. Your choice of fabric design is beautiful. When choosing fabric do you have a favourite seller?

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you for your comment! I really like Sew Me Sunshine and Fabric Godmother. They would be my two favourite shops.

    So lovely, Amelia! Do you happen to remember how much fabric a Marnie dress took?

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you for your comment, I can't remember exactly but with fabric 150cm wide I did get it from less fabric than suggested. But that could be different with directional prints? I hope that helps.

    Beautiful dresses, blouses & jumpsuit. My favourite was the plain Marnie (though loved everything) & seeing this has made me consider this pattern after disregarding it. My list just got longer 😅

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much for your comment! I know the never ending list! The Marnie is really fun to make and there is so much room to make it your own. I hope you enjoy making it.

    Hi! How did you attach the elastic to the waist? Also, what width of elastic did you use? Thank you! I love this video. The dresses are all beautiful ❤

    • @ameliaellensews
      @ameliaellensews  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you for your comment, the elastic was thin. Less than 1cm and I just decided tge length I wanted and stretched it evenly around as I zig zaged it to the inner waist seam.

      Thank you for your comment! That is very kind of you, my teenage years are long gone unfortunately but I am enjoying my 40s so far!
