    Thank you so much Thrive Market for sponsoring this video!
    OKAY so for this week, my brain decided: You know what? We're going to make something overly complicated. And so here we are! Something I've been toying with for a while is how to maximize the use of the clothing that I make myself, and so I thought making a dress that can transform into a different dress would be a fun avenue to explore. ANYWHO my hand still hurts from how many snap fasteners I did, so uhhh enjoy lol.

    My mom badgered me until I wrote a comment: snap tape exists, it has snaps on it, you just sew it on. You don't have to hurt your hands, you can have snaps by just sewing. They also make hook and eye tape.
    Mom loves you and wants you to succeed and feels bad for your hands.

    Add a robin's egg blue sash to the dress when it's all together and it would be like a cottage core version of Anastasia's once upon a December dress😍.

    Back in the '50's, there were shows like "What's my line?," " I've got at Secret" and "To Tell The Truth." On one of those game shows don't recall which one) there was someone who had made an "outfit" that she changed, by tear-aways, into about 25 different outfits. Maybe it was 21 or 27...I don't remember exactly. It was amazing! You'd love it...I'm pretty sure. Seems like she made it for the talent part of a pageant, or something.
    Oh wow! Your outfits are so cute! Happy Birthday on the actual day...or thereabouts!

  • @katmartindale8049

    Guess you haven't yet heard of snap tape? You often find it in the legs of baby clothes so you have easy access for changing diapers. It's two pieces of twill tape, one side having the male snap half and the other side has the female snap half. You sew it in using the zipper foot. It does make putting lots of snaps in a garment a little easier and less achy hands . Probably would have worked well around the ruffle.
    The dress turned out very cute. It was a novel idea and you made it work.

    The tadpole bit at the end makes me feel the need to share that "tadpole" in Norwegian is "rumpetroll" ("rumpe" = bum, and troll = exactly what it looks like). I think it's because they have tails, but still, "bum troll" is pretty ridiculous and funny.

      In German its Kaulquappe and I had to google where that comes from. So apparently kaul means hole/trench and quappe or quabbe is a slimy wobbly thing, can be alive or just a weird blob.

    My one experience with tearaway pants happened when I was a lowly freshman in high school and one of the seniors decided he needed to dash into my English class, hop up on a desk, and tear his pants off and twirl them over his head. I think he was wearing either shorts or boxers underneath, so it wasn't too traumatizing, but he was definitely single-handedly responsible for getting tearaway pants banned in the next year's dress code.

      lol, that's hilarious. My only high school experiences with tearaway pants were the sports team kids tearing away the below-knee portion of their pants as the day warmed up.

    This is perfect for changing out hems/ruffles for walking skirts to be washed or just for fashion purposes. I love this idea.

    Aside from the overall outfit being so stinking cute, I just loved all the extra dogs appearing through the video with no explanation 😂
