Wendy Poole the Dressmaker | Hello, Welcome and Introduction to my Sewing and Dressmaking Channel

Hello and welcome to my RUclips Channel all about dressmaking and sewing. #dressmaking #sewing #introduction #introvideo #newchannel I’ve been a dressmaker most of my adult life and decided to start this channel so that I can share my dressmaking makes, pattern reviews, fabric inspiration, plus some tips and techniques and generally share the love of dressmaking and sewing clothes! Although thi...
So glad I found this video. I’m literally in the process of hemming my Nell dress and when I’ve tried it on it seems so big and unflattering so I’m in the process of adding waist ties! What a great idea. Also agree with you about the buttons, I have done the button holes and buttons and luckily they turned out ok but I can easily get it on over my head so in my next version I’ll do faux buttonholes!!
Thank you. The waist ties make such a difference don’t they. It made quite a difference to mine when I added them.😁
Your various Nell blouses and dress are all beautiful! I like your idea for altering the width at the waist and adding waist ties to the dress. I’m currently making the Nell Dress.
Thank you so much and enjoy making yours too!😁
I’m so enjoying your video channels Wendy. I’ve just ordered this pattern to try for our upcoming spring/summer xx
Gorgeous makes. I love the rainbow gingham! Happy new subscriber here!
Thanks and 🤗
Such lovely makes very pretty 😊😊
Thanks so much 😊
What is the difference between a popper and a snap? Haven’t heard of poppers in the US.
@@delpha2419 Hiya, I hadn’t thought of it this way and they’re very similar. In the UK what I mean is that a “popper” could also be a press stud or a snap fastener. (I may have been using old fashioned terminology). So it would be 2 interlocking discs, made out of plastic or metal that are sewn into place, then snap together when one side is pushed into the other. Or they can be like jeans fasteners, where there is no sewing involved and a small gadget is used to attach them to the fabric.
Thank you, really enjoyed your pattern review I shall be getting the pattern and have a go making this dress. 😊👍
You’re welcome 😊
Your versions are all lovely, might have to get this pattern
Your versions are gorgeous. I have made the blouse and then modified the fit for me and made a dress. I think the fabric I chose isn’t as successful as your viscose versions (I used cottons). I notice that your cotton version also sits a touch away from your body like mine, so I know now that it is the fabric. I’m going to try a viscose version next as I think I’ll much prefer that. I was going to try ties on the waist, so your hunt is really useful. Thank you. I fancy mashing the Fleur and Nell together as I love elements of each of them.
That’s a great idea, I think I prefer both in a more floaty fabric, as for me it’s more flattering.😁
Thankyou ..I would be nervous about button holes so going to get. You could also adjust pattern by overlap at front so have seam there ..might need pattern matching .. anyway I need dress pattern so will get this one ..
Great idea!
❤
Loved this. All made beautifully, thanks for the ideas.
You are so welcome!🤗
I love all your versions and found your adjustments for the back really helpful as I’m 5ft 4” too. I love your side vent on the gingham version. I really hope to make one soon. I’d be interested to know how you’d compare the peplum Nell to the Fleur blouse as they are very similar even though there are some differences.
Thank you, although the peplums are very similar- I made the Fleur top using a double gauze which is more bulky than the gingham viscose, so they look quite different. But with either of them if I was making the top again with a structured fabric - I’d put less fullness in the peplum. But if I using a viscose, I’d keep it the same. 😁
As you can see all of your versions are good. Do they have any bust darts in them?❤
Thank you and yes, although it doesn’t notice in the photos, they do all have a bust dart in the bodice. 😃
Great vlog Wendy, your versions look great. As another shorter person it’s so useful to hear your fit adjustments , thank you. I’ve been considering this pattern and you’ve convinced me 😊
Thankyou so much 😊
Wow, yours look really fab . Im Currently working on my Nell shirt but I'm losing hope that it will turn out OK as even though I measure myself and look at the garment measurements and finished measurements Tilly and the Buttons patterns always end up being really big and baggy 😢
Thank you and hope you’re went well for you.🤗
love all your versions, and also the autumn fabrics for your next planned makes.
You showed up on my feed so that’s a plus. Enjoyed your video. You spoke about a petite adjustment, would you share how to do that? And maybe other pattern adjustments. Also will you be sharing any sewing techniques, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for watching and your lovely comments and yes, I’ll gradually be including all of those things as I go along.😀
I’m really enjoying your podcast, thank you so much! I’ll give the Tony shirt a try for husband, son and son in laws, I do already have the wardrobe by me tropical shirt pattern, but I haven’t used it yet and as you recommend the Tony, I’d rather go with that. Thanks again! Karen x
Thank you for your lovely comments and enjoy making the Tony shirt, I found it a straightforward and enjoyable make.😀
Just binged watch your videos after watching what Bec sews , really enjoyed them and your makes , so interesting and professionally done 👌
Thank you so much! And glad you liked them.😀
Loved the vlod. I do sew but not as much as I would like.
Thank-you for watching and glad you liked it. 😀
Can you give us a video wrt a full bust adjustment? I love your vlogs!
Yes I will, it’s on the list of things to cover as I go along.😀
Great makes,great vlog
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.😊
Great vlog, just found you. Hi from Jersey Channel Islands. Love your makes and future plans.
Thanks so much! 😊
Ooh Wendy, just discovered your channel ( What Beck Sews). I love your makes, you are on the same vibe as me! Your Nell dress will be amazing, are you making the pouffy sleeves? Gorgeous fabrics!
A bit late I know, but just catching up and thank you soo much!😍😘

Oh thank you!
I’ve never made a shirt before so I may well look into getting the Tony shirt. What is the fit like in the body as my husband likes a slim fit, but he has quite broad shoulders. Love your Fleur blouse xx
I personally thought the fit was good, not tailored like a slim fitting formal shirt, but just a nicely fitting casual shirt that wasn’t oversized. I’d measure the shoulder width on one of his shirts that already fits well and just grade out to that size across the shoulders. Hope that helps.😀
@@WendyPooleTheDressmaker thank you, that’s great xx
Hi Wendy, first time watching your vlog and I really enjoyed it. Love both of your Patina blouses, a pattern that is on my to-do list. Will be interested to see how you get on with your new dress form xx
Oh thank you for your lovely comments and yes, I’ll be trying out on a jumpsuit and trousers very soon. 😀
That was a great video- thank you
I’m so glad the algorithms sent you my way. Very nice vlog. I like how you talk about the sizing and adjustments. Lovely makes and fabrics ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely love your blouse Wendy and the fabric is so nice! 😍
Thank you so much!😀
Great vlog Wendy, loving your fabrics!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love your blouses Wendy and look forward to watching all your vlogs! 😁
Thanks so much 😊
Hello Wendy, enjoyed you channel today glad I found you, as I am not on Instagram . I think the second dress fabric you put up would be lovely in the dress. Blue flowers I believe, thanks for a interesting watch 😂
Oh thank you and glad you enjoyed it!😀
I love the garments you have made!
Thank you so much!😀
I'm glad to have come across your channel. I'm a pretty new sewist, just beginning my adventure into making garments. I'm using Closet Core's course to learn to sew clothes, and one of the three patterns they include in that is the Cielo. It was quite good to hear what an experienced sewist thinks of it and that you like it so much. I haven't made it yet, because I've chosen to start with their Fiore skirt, which I'm currently in the process of tracing before I take the deep breath of cutting fabric and actually sewing it up. The Cielo will be what I make next, however long it takes me to finish the skirt and move on to it.
Thank you for your lovely comments and good luck with finishing your current makes. 😀
Looking forward to your sew alongs.
Thank you so much!😀
Great vlog, really inspirational
Glad you enjoyed it!😀
Hi Wendy - just found you and really enjoyed your video so I have subscribed. I work in Truro and didn't realise Truro Fabrics did a Sewing Society. I have been learning to sew for about a year - have all the gear but no idea - actually that is untrue as I have made several garments which I do wear but recently have lost my confidence so I have signed up for the next fortnightly session (this weeks was full I guess as I couldn't click on it) I love your Cielo top and dress - I think I will order this. I have made the Patina twice and have a 3rd one cut out which has been on my table for 3 weeks ..... look forward to your video re fitting as this would be so useful - thank you
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it - yes Truro Fabrics is great isn’t it! I teach there as well and will more likely bump into you at one of the events there, so be sure to say hello..🥰✂️
Subscribing!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and welcome.🥰✂️
Great video. I absolutely love the black gingham blouse. I wish you’d do some sew alongs. 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and yes I will be do some sew alongside as well, as I get going.🥰✂️
The Tony shirt looks really nice, must try this for my husband, the baby shirt looks adorable. Thanks for the explanation about the collar it was very helpful
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and welcome.🥰✂️
I just found your channel, very impressive! I’m happy to like and subscribe. I plan on watching some of your past videos. Your makes are lovely and your skills are certainly on a high level.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and welcome.🥰✂️
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and welcome.🥰✂️
Thankyou Wendy for the shirt review. Always good to know a good pattern. Your versions turned out amazingly too. I love your fleur top, the fabric looks lovely. Have a good week of sewing. Im stuck what to make at the moment because the weather has been so unpredictable in Manchester.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and welcome, I totally understand as the weather can be predictable down here in Cornwall as well.🥰✂️
I will definitely be making a Tony shirt for my husband. Thank you for showing the Rever collar versus the traditional two part one. Look for to seeing next weeks makes.
You are so welcome!🎉
such a lovely video mum, ive just finished my fleur dress too! xxx
Thank you and I can’t wait to see yours too!❤ we’ll have to share some photos of them both together!❤🎉xxx
Hi Wendy the flier top is gorgeous…love the Tony shirt to…will have to look at that for my husband…great vlog thank you ❤😊
@@michturner179 Thank you so much and happy sewing! 😍✂️
Love the gingham blouses!
Thank you so much!😀
FYI your introductory music is the same as Tailor nour's. I have been watching his videos for years so I thought you were connected to him when I heard the music. Looking forward to seeing what you have to offer. I am going through my fabric stash and need ideas for making some simple summer blouses.
Thank-you for watching and the info!
