    What a fun holiday outfit! I truly appreciate your eye for detail!
    I'm 63, my mother always sewed and even at 90 continues when she can.. unfortunately I didn't appreciate it growing up, I do now... she has that eye for detail also... she always says ... it's all in the details. It can make or break what you're trying to achieve. Like the wrong pair of shoes with an outfit! Lol

The applique, beading, printed bias tape- the foam for shaping! I watched the whole thing with a delighted smile. I hope you make many, many happy holiday memories in your new home. Thank you so much for sharing.

    First time viewer of your channel here! I think it’s great that you chose to add the structure/padding into the garment itself, professional tailors do that exact same thing with the garments they make. I also like how you take these vintage patterns and make it your own!

  • @teresaellis7062
    @teresaellis7062 Год назад

    Adding structure with foam! Nice! I have been watching lots of historical sewing videos from the 1800's and adding structure and padding is the way the Victorians got that wasp waist look! Illusion and clever sewing. You are echoing what women did in the past to get the look they wanted. That is why I have learned to appreciate historical dress making. Clothing created the silhouette, not dieting or the roll of the genetic dice. As someone who doesn't have the "right" body shape myself, I am glad to know that I can make my clothes give me the look I want.

    Like you talking about adding structure. When I first starting sewing 57 years ago, I wasn't taught that it was okay to add structure, and I wasn't always happy with the results, although I would finish all seams and they were well sewn and had just the right material that was best! So I appreciate your talking about adding structure!

    Good to know about the liquid stitch versus hot glue. I haven't done much applique yet, I feel like I am still pretty new to sewing, but I have done enough to know about the pain of pins, but also shifting fabric even with pins. I think I will see how it works with my current project. I am making over an old skirt by sewing on a whole bunch of crocheted doilies I thrifted. I didn't realize that I was appliqueing. 😊
    Your skirt is adorable! 🥰🥰 I need to finish my other projects so I can make one myself! (I need to make room in my borrowed sewing room before I can start a new project.😅) I've never thought about creating a story on a skirt. What a wonderful idea. 😊

I mostly make things for the home like zip bags, trivets, hot pads, oven mitts, table mats, hand bags. I have also made a few aprons for gifts. I love to see people make retro clothing and items. Your clothing is so lovely. I found your videos from the walk away dress. Keep up making the lovely videos.

    This is adorable. And I haaaaate pink! I thought you would open the darts and fell them to the sides to reduce bulk in the seam allowance, but you're slim and they barely show. I would be melting from a hot flash in a quilted suit.
