LETS SEW THE MERCHANT & MILLS ELLIS PATTERN USING DUVET COVERS
I also have been using duvet covers and sheets for some time and have noticed there are very few nice designs in charity shops compared to a year ago. One of my granddaughters ,who is ,12, a big girl for her age , proudly said to an admirer of her new dress last year " that's my duvet dress my grandma made ".
I’m upcycling a man’s shirt into a woman’s shirt. I got one for pennies at a thrift shop that’s the last stop before the landfill sold at pennies per lb. It will be my toile. Once done, if it works out and fits well, I have a much nicer men’s shirt of high quality cotton to make one I will want to wear. The nicer shirt costs me $2.50 so it will be a huge savings over a women’s storebought shirt.
Love that you sew in the kitchen and don’t have all the expensive equipment- overlocker. Your dress is lovely and I really like the coordinating fabrics
Loved your video, I’m tempted now to get out my sewing machine to have a go, I’ve not used it for about 40 years. All my old sewing patterns are from the 70s, will need some resizing lol. I used to make all my clothes and I loved it, I’ll need to have a look. I love your chatty style and showing each step of your progress, brought it all back to me. Looking forward to seeing your other projects. Thank you 😀
Too much talking, I’m trying to concentrate on what you doing not listening to you
I won’t bother with the costly fabric the duvet covers look brilliant ❤
Consider adding ties to the sides that tie in the back. That would fix the baggy problem and make for a cute addition to the pattern.
You have inspired me to take up dress making again. I used to make all my clothes and made skirt suits when at hairdressing college. Look forward to your next project.
Love the dress. I have been thrifting fabric from opportunity shops (charity shops inAustralia) for many years. I also deconstruct clothing to remake into something else. You are very easy to listen to ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Really sweet result! Beautiful. I can’t see another fabric choice being cuter than that combo.
Tencelis lovely. Feels like a combination of cotton and rayon.
Fantastic job well done suits you.
You did a fabulous job I’m very impressed
Beautiful, thank you! ❤ I plan to make the Ellis dress soon wish me luck😊
Hi Victoria, well done the dress looks lovely. I bought a quilt only yesterday to make myself a wrapover skirt and matching top. So I was delighted when I came across your tutorial. I'm just starting sewing lol and I'm 60 lol never to old to start learning something new. Lol anyway thank you for your video it inspired me to definitely give it a go. XxKathleen
wow Victoria the dress turned out lovely x
Oh, you will be startled.
Looks beautiful
Oh my goodness, your twill turned out top notch. A lovely dress indeed.
If I were you, and for comfort’s sake, I would increase the width of the sleeve because it appears to be a bit tight. If you do this, you would also need to increase the side seam of the bodice the same amount.
