Those pants are lovely-well worth the time to fix. Do you think that pattern style could be made shorter (midi-length) and work as a split-skirt? That might be something I try-easy style to wear when getting out of a car while looking like a skirt. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing your video!❤

Yes, the elastic issue. I've graduated to at least 1" elastic with a wider waistband.

Happy Thanksgiving! I can’t wait to see your sundress turned into a cute summer dress to wear. As soon as I saw it I thought “I would wear that as a dress”. Glad you were able to fix your waistband. I only ever use non fold elastic, I hate it when the flimsy waistbands fold. I’m really excited to see your tips video.

Happy Thanksgiving. Great video today.

In particular, I found this video fascinating because you instructed the process so well I can relate to it! Thank you for sharing!

I love the top/dress youre wearing. ❤ There are so many great 1990s patterns. I have a pleated skirt pattern from the 90s that i still use and a friend found a Kwik Sew coat pattern at a thrift shop in L.A. and bought it for me. ❤ The coat patterns from the 90s are great, sleek designs.

Thanks they look great! Did not understand a couple of the instruction around the pocket corners and flap so thanks for showing those bits as now I get it! Thanks!

Hi Thank you for the review. Am putting in the waist band right now using your changes.

I pulled out a pile of clothes awaiting alterations last week - must be the season for this! I don't enjoy it, but it doesn't make sense to have things that aren't being worn, either, if they can be fixed to work. Congratulations on raising money to help with hurricane relief.

Hi Angela! I'm here to see what's happening in your sewing room!😅

Hi Angela! Congratulations on 3 years! Quite an undertaking to go back thru 3 years of videos looking for all the wonderful sewing tips shared! I have enjoyed all your past videos and am looking forward to future ones 🙂

3 years! How wonderful! 💕 I’d love to participate, and you can share my name, Angela. I don’t know if I’ve shared any tips in the past or what they may have been. 😂 I’ll put my thinking cap on! Love your pants! Wonder if you have enough space to put in another channel and use another piece of elastic in that channel. I’ve made waistbands with 3 channels of 3/8” elastic and they’re really comfortable. 😘 Sew with joy!

Oh made in a Linen would make a great three season jacket.

Congratulations on 3 years!

What a wonderful way to celebrate! Congratulations on 3 years already!

I own this book too, and I adore it.

Hi Angela! What a GREAT idea! I see how this can relieve some of the pressure to make, make, make especially when you already have and just need a few adjustments. Hats off to you! While this is not my kind of endeavor, I am cheering you on! Excited to see the journey! Love what you did with the cargos! Take care!

I’d call that blue ‘bright navy.’

I have a rack of items that need altering too. I am short so I have quite a few pair of pants that need to be shortened. Thanks for the inspiration.

Lovely to see you we all have those garments that need attention i try to do one garment at a time have a great week 😊😊😊

Hey Ang. So proud of you. What a great idea with the patterns to collect money for the hurricane victims! Love mom.

Hi Angela, glad you are back. I missed my sewing buddy and I really enjoy your videos. I also watch Evelyn Wood's videos and she came up with what she called "Mending Monday" where she does at least one mending/altering project each Monday. It has really helped me catch up and get things out of my mending basket.

Hi Angela! You are going to add so many useful garments to your wardrobe as you complete the fixes! I have never paid any attention to the magazines at Joann - I’ll check them out next time.

Hi Angela! I enjoy watching your videos, whenever you're able to be here! 😘 Yes, please share your dress when you are finished - and any little fixes you've done 😁 I've just finished an Archie top, and some Pietras that were put on hold for costume-making. Just now putting hardware on some new Dawn jeans and just cut a Wildwood Jacket and another Olya top. They are all coordinating. Happy sewing!! ❤

I thrift and alter too. It's easy for the list of little projects to get out of control. Tackling it all at once is great and help prevent future mistakes. I underestimate how long alterations take, so forcing myself to do them makes me face that reality and keep it in mind before I purchase any more projects.

I have a small pile of garments (and one purse) that need some alteration. Usually the day comes when I decide that now is the time to alter or mend or whatever needs to be done so I can get ride of the pile.

Hi thank you for holding the pattern so we can read them L

It's pretty cool looking at the designs of the past! I sent you a message on Instagram.❤

I missed the poll, but I agree that this dress would look great sleeveless.

Currently, I use a spreadsheet & multiple plastic lidded boxes I bought from Target. Labeled the boxes with my labeler. I hope to find something else workable soon. I just found a double purchased pattern....in the same size range. Guess that should be on my "must sew" list. 😅😅 I don't have much space at the time so I have my washed fabrics hanging from hangers with a post it note noting how much yardage I have after shrinkage.

ANGELA! Oh my goodness! 🙀 The hair! I LOVE IT! It's been waaaay too long! 🙃It's really grown! 😎 Now that's my kind of fabric shopping. 🤑 Never hurts to peek around in the clearance. The fabric is gorgeous and I think it is going to be a perfect match for the pattern you've chosen. I can fully understand the excitement. I'm excited to see the final outcome. 😊 Happy sewing! Take care!

I suggest donating to Ryan Hall, Y'all, here on RUclips. They are a nonprofit organization and 100% of your donations are used for those affected by the Hurricanes.

The red suit looks like you could make it out of a ponte knit!

A wool tweed would be pretty. 😘

Hi Angela! I love that fabric and am looking forward to seeing the completed dress! I check out Pattern Review all the time 🙂

Love the fabric print and they turned out great❤

I’m planning on making this, also. Yours turned out great

I would use a fabric that is from the 70s and hard to find, but those tops would be beautiful in Qiana!

Hi please hold the pattern in place without moving them,.I would like it you show pattern and number so we could read them , thank you for sharing thank you L

Vegan wool. That looks like a great pattern!❤❤

Love your cute dresses!

I love it as a vest. It looks very nice on you! I commented in your other video just today, telling you that I just took a sewing class at Joann using this pattern. The teacher warned us that it is very large. She had me make a "small" and I am normally am a size large or sometimes even x-large (41 inch bust). The small fits me great! We made the long-sleeve version (D) and she had us do the sleeve differently. Instead of the "set in" method described, I don't know what she called it, but we pinned the sleeves at the top onto the top of the armsye and pinned it all in. Then we sewed the sleeve seam and the side seam in one fell swope. It's hard to describe.

Angela, I just took a sewing class at Joann using this pattern. First, the teacher says it is way oversized. I am normally a size 12/14 in regular clothing but she had me make a size S. I usually wear a large or x-large. The teacher had us, instead of doing set-in sleeves, she had us fit and pin the top of the sleeves onto the top armhole, and then we stitched the top of the sleeve. Then we sewed the side seam and the sleeves. This avoided set-in sleeves. I think they are called inset sleeves? I am a really new sewist so I may not be explaining it very well. This pattern would make a really cute sleeveless duster. I made my sweater with a sweater knit from Joan. It was what the teacher suggested and I love it. Mine is also gray in color. I'm wearing it to work tomorrow.

I would encourage searching for a Dress a Girl Around the World ambassador in your state that collects dresses all year. The emphasis Mari shares is great just to be made aware of the need.
