Very nice, how did you learn how to sew? You are very talented.

Very nice coat! I just finished mine and found your tutorial very helpful because as you stated, their photos are ridiculous! I found it very difficult to follow the instructions because they used lining and fabric that were nearly the same dark blue. And I also don’t like the fact that they don’t offer the option to print your one size. The company is outdated in their approach to pattern printing and illustration and I won’t buy from them again until they update their approach. That being said, I do like the coat and I’ll make another. Thank you!

Do you or would you make them to sell? I’ve been looking for something like the sezane gilet for soooo long!

The shawl collar looks good on it.

Beautiful coat. Very well done video.

Your cookie cutters actually look like biscuit cutters. The wavy edge goes through bread dough that might be a little sticky. Patterns in the '50s assumed that the wearer would be wearing a girdle; measurements were taken from women in the military service in the 1940's so the proportions don't approximate most women's proportions now. The Style pattern is not a princess seam, but does look very cute. Princess seams go down the front and the back and over to the armholes. They are easy to make fit because there are so many seams you can adjust.

I don't know if you're using a ball point needle on your machine when you sew with knits. It is a little easier to prevent runs. Also, most dress fabrics should be sewn with a size 10 or 11 needle. You can use pinking shears to finish seams; they kind of keep fabric from raveling. Simplicity's re-releases kind of make me wish I had kept my patterns from the '70s! Nice job on your fancy dress!

You may have figured this out by now, but when you're working with a plaid fabric, you can trace the plaid lines on the pattern piece when you cut out the front, so the pockets can be cut out at the same point on the plaid. Likewise, you can note where the notch for connecting the sleeve on the front is located on the plaid so the sleeves also match on the same plaid. Anytime it was impossible to match, like a back with a pleat and a back yoke, I would turn the plaid on the bias so the not matching looked deliberate. It's nice to see a young woman getting into sewing!

Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed your detailed process and analysis.

Fantastic well done and thank you for sharing I have this pattern printed out but then too scared to attempt! Just found you in time I have never sewn a lining so many thanks for sharing all the extra tips especially the hemming you are a ⭐️

Love it

Really clear sew along. Darling sweater.

I love everything you make! You have such elegant and bold style and you just know what looks amazing in you.

I like all the pieces! I’ve been extensively looking into sewing I’m so interested in learning and I found your tutorials very easy to follow. Any advice for a beginner like myself?

hii, how many meters of fabric needed for a coat of this size ? appreciate ur reply .. thanks alot

Thank you for tutorial ,very easy to follow and understand

I really like your coat! The fabric is beautiful! I am struggling with hemming McCalls 8438. The hem is driving me crazy. I think , like you I will hem the lining separately. I really need to take a class on lining. thank you for sharing.

I am interested in the pattern for the dress that You are wearing while You showed the summer collection here

I was wondering why we hadn't heard from you for a while. You've really stepped up the complexity of the patterns you've chosen with this beautiful dress. Even when I was at my peak sewing level, I wouldn't have had the courage to make this pattern with these fabric choices. I'm impressed with your taking on this project and not rushing it. You will look fantastic in it. You choose the right colours and patterns for your body and complexion.

Brilliant tutorial and top tips. Going to make this in Boucle. Thank you

Thanks for sharing. I'm about to make this. I love the sleeves, but it looks so cute sleeveless.

You can also use spray starch to stabilize the fabric. Washes out after and just leaves your fabric.

Hi friends! I really hope you enjoyed today's video, I can't wait to show you the final dress in part 2! I also linked some resources for fitting cups in the description box - these tutorials really helped me achieve the best possible fit! 😊😊

So amazing hearing you talk about the adjustments x I had tried this pattern about a year ago. I really wanted to use the bodice for my maternity photoshoot but after 4 mock ups I didn’t know how to fix the gaping on the cups. I couldn’t find any info that was helpful so I ended up giving up on the project - I was sooo disappointed 😞 Hearing you talk about the adjustments you made makes me want to revisit the pattern 😊 All this to say thanks for sharing. Am sure a lot of people who have had issues with the pattern will find this video very useful x

Amazing! Your dress will be so gorgeous.

That looks so good. Can't wait for the part 2. ❤

Excellent, thank you. Like you, no patience for toiles unless really need to!

You did such a great job, the vest is Beautiful.

I love the dress you’re wearing. Is it me made as well? If so, what is the name of the pattern?

No matter how many times i stare at the sleeve gusset, i just can't figure out how it works 😅

I love everything you made! It feels like a pretty impressive quantity to me but I know that it varies from person to person. You've great pattern/fabric matching instincts!

So many fun makes! My favourite is the floral sweater, I've made something similar last year as well. It's so comfy!!

Gorgeous makes as always! 💖💖💖

Lovely makes and they 3:21 suit you you beautifully

Love the fleece top…looks so cozy!

Just discovered your channel a few months ago and thought you had quit but subscribed just in case. Glad you're back.

Lovely assortment of projects! I really appreciated the comments on pattern fit sizing and drafting.

Love the striped dress! I’ve been looking for a pattern just like it after seeing the Billy J Sunny Daze dress. I have the perfect charmeuse fabric in a rust colour for this.

wow mccalls 8525 looks so stunning

I bet this is way too expensive in Canada 🇨🇦 BC ❤

super excited to see all the work you have been doing! first off, the beach cover-up works really well with the orange accent, i'm sure you got lots of compliments on that one. the green-silk fabric piece looks very challenging to work on, thats a piece I would keep and work out the kinks on, very nice color. I personally love the floral fleece sweater (and personally, I like the longer sleeves) it has a beautiful fit it and I really like the the circular zipper-pull you place on it. nice touch! I honestly was surprised at your criticism on the black and white striped dress, as this was probably my favorite piece you did out of all of them ironically, ha! as for the frocktail dress, it has a very magical feel to it and really think you did an outstanding job on the overall finished piece, there is a lot you could do with that dress in terms of occasional settings. keep it up, love it all <3

Thanks Mel, I loved the video and have ordered the pattern and lining as I have the wool mix fabric already to go. Really helpful hints and as I have made a Chanel style jacket prior to this which hand sews the lining in at the sleeves and hem, think that will be a better way to do it as you mentioned bagging out left you not liking the hem finish - which I agree with. I will however, be watching this again as I sew and I loved your coat finish. Thanks.

OMG!! A beautiful queen making our nomad dress , i swear never saw such gorgeous afghan dress so far!!!❤️‍🔥😍🥰😘

Love this tutorial! I have this pattern and after watching I can’t wait to start sewing this dress. Thank you. I love how you explain. 👏🏼👌🏻

Okay I just made this and I feel like the size 12 is smaller than the measurements listed, but I agree on lengthening the straps for the bust area the sit lower. I did just get some nicer fabric to hopefully make all needed adjustments on the 2nd round with this pattern!

fashion habits! 🦋

you remind me of bobbi altoff!!! so pretty 🎉

Absolutely beautiful
