I agree with the last comment I love your pattern making I watch your videos many many times you are a genius thank you thank you for all you do. What incredibly beautiful garments you make thanks again so very much.
I love your long videos. I have a goal of getting good at patterning and you are one of the ONLY channels I've seen that focuses on patterning creatively instead of a bunch of math. I can do math. That's not an issue. It's the creative part that stops me up. I need to watch people like YOU - being creative. Love your channel!
It is definetly Halloween season...if christmas decorations can be sold in October we can celebrate Halloween in July. Also, somehow this was perfect timing! A wrap dress in on my project list right now.
Thanks a lot for your videos, they are so full of knowledge! I am not into vintage sewing at all (though I admire the work you and other vintage seamstresses do) but I am learning an awful amount of stuff just from watching your videos. I think they fill a gap in the sewing videos world: not just pattern drafting for the sake of drafting, and not just production sewing, I enjoy it a lot! Thanks again!
That is so cool for a wrap dress. I always imagine wrap dresses to be more loosely structured and you made this so beautifully fitted. It will be next on my list of projects!
Another awesome tutorial. As a quilter and hand-sewer, I really appreciate your ‘blue table of doom’ pattern drafting the best, very helpful … Thank you for your content 😻
Funnily enough, for me, insomnia soundtrack is not a podcast but often The Closet Historian. You have a soothing voice. I do listen again when I’m properly awake though! 🤓
I have no interest in making my own clothes but you've really taught me to keep an open mind in regards to the different types and designs that there are in fabrics and I've just finished making a set of curtains that before watching your channel I wouldn't have even considered using in a pink fit. Thanks.
I've been watching your cicada series this afternoon. Just got to the dinner bodice. Then I saw you posted a new video. I shall return to that series later
I have learnt so much watching you. I prefer vintage style and due to health issues, body shape finding clothes I can put on is a problem let alone have them fit. Thank you. I have now learnt how to adjust and draft a pattern to make in material that doesn't hurt, that fits and I can put on by myself. Pattern drafting the way to independence. Thanks.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was so inspiring. An excellent teacher! Both creative and technical. You can learn so much here. Really a pleasure. The dress with those accessories - magnificent! Wow!!
You've come such a long way. Look at this! I want to be here when you hit 100K subscribers!!! I"m so proud of our Colorado girl! Thank you for sticking with the patterning videos. It really helps people understand flat pattern and design.
Love me some wrap dress, I need moooore 😍 I have for that matter also prepared black background floral/leafy viscose. So pretty I do not want to cut into it 😄
This was fantastic! As usual, I learned lots and really enjoyed seeing the actual process. Plus I just want to run out and buy heaps of sateen as well! Here in Australia its usually around $25/metre though. Sad face in the extreme!
I watched this video on Patreon and I’m about to watch this same video on RUclips. Your voice is so soothing and I just love, absolutely love learning from you. I recently brought my Patternmaking design book you speak so highly of and I’m ready to dive into the world of flat pattern drafting. I want you to know that I appreciate the hard work you pour into these videos. I’m excited to see what you create for the month of October.
@@shereneecollection Paternmaking for Fashion Design by Helen Joseph Armstrong! I recommend finding an older edition becuase as a texbook it can be pricey, but I've also heard there is a free pdf version floating around online...
@@TheClosetHistorian Thank you so much, I have this book, watching your tutorials give’s me inspiration I will pull it out and blow off the dust. I’m working on my blocks now.😊
Beautiful as always, I’m going to try it, hopefully it’s not beyond me. Would you consider making a jumper dress? I’ve seen a beautiful pattern with a buttoned side closure. Gorgeous. The pattern seems to cost a fortune.
Definitely not too early for pumpkins 😍 Just finished making my own bodice blocks for the first time thanks to your tutorial. Cannot wait to use them to make a 40’s design. Thank you for sharing your sewing journey with us!
Love, love, love your Halloween decorations. Your wrap dress is beautiful. I had to laugh when you commented about sometimes you have fabric that is to pretty to cut into. About 30+ yrs ago I worked in the fabric dept of TG&Y. My mother love to sew. We had some beautiful solid sage and sage plaid double knit. Very warm for winter. My mom fell in love with it. It was out of her price range. So for Christmas I bought her enough of the solid to make a dress, a pair of slacks, and probably a top. I got enough of the plaid for a long sleeve jacket and a sleeve less top. She cried when she opened her present. But she never cut into the fabric. I still have it. You can't kill double knit. I may make me something out of it. Love your show.
Thank you Laura ❤ Fabric is like fine china in that way I suppose, better to use it than leave it in the cabinet for the perfect occasion, for the occasion is today ❤
I have never even tried on a wrap dress, but you've got me convinced they could be a new favourite style! Now I just need to leave the house so that I can come across some in person to see how I like them on my personal meat sack 😂😂
This is stunning! I love a bold floral print. This also makes me want to get my cotton flannel wrap dress sorted for autumn. Cosy floofness is planned for autumn winter here.
Wrap dresses are amazing. I made one earlier this year and it is literally perfect! I definitely will borrow that neckline design on my next one though 😊
Wonderful to watch someone as skilful as you producing these garments. HOWEVER, would you consider doing a video on your hair in the last scene? That chignon was sublime. 👌🏼xx
Thank you Lucy! I have half of my head shaved (an undercut from behind my ears down shaved basically) so putting my hair up is always an interesting challenge requiring quite a few extra pins 😅 It's far more of a mess than can be seen in the dim lighting ✨
I have made my first drafted wrap front dress (a la Closet Historian ) and uber proud of it. Thank you for demystifying the process of pattern drafting. Tulip sleeves and a collar will feature in my next project and I have you to guide me. Here's to your next videos
I love watching how you adjust your basic block into whatever dress you want. Definitely makes me braver about modifying my own patterns as well. Thank you! *Continued post watching* Damnit! Now I want to buy cotton sateen and make this dress! Because my fabric pile is merely huge, not gigantic.
Love this dress. I also love watching you draft your patterns. I wish I could be as accurate as your pattern turns out. I am not confident with my shoulder part. My left shoulder slopes more than the right and I have a high, although not too rounded back. I make a muslin for everything but wish I could really be more accurate and confident. Thank you for the great vids.
Thank you! I wish I were more of a fit expert in order to help, my favorite fit teacher online is ruclips.net/user/surefitdesignsvideos who's videos I have referenced in the past when I've run into any specific fit issues.
Just perfect timing for me to make a wrap skirt out of the leftovers from a shirt I made last year!! Mine's getting a curved waistband though, it's the only way I know I'll be able to keep the dang thing up on my lack of hips :P
you're such a god send! i'm making a traditional 50-60s pencil dress, but with a wrap front (i'm breast feeding). I feel like I went to the Bianca school of pattern drafting and i'm now making my final project. I'm glad I bounced around all of your videos bc I can now use them as a reference. *Not currently a patreon patron, but I plan to do so soon as I am able.
I'm starting to plan Halloween projects now too, especially since I've got a ren faire to attend in October and have to make my kiddos costumes. This dress is beautiful and now I want to try and make one. Must focus on my current projects and not get distracted. 🤣
Oh, it's always Halloween season. I never put the bats and pumpkin away! This dress is truly stunning. I love the fabric you chose. That print is so lovely and feminine. I'd love e that dress for both my professional life and my personal life.
I LOVE your hair color and the style is amazing. I feel like it really suits you. The top lifted side part is something that I try to do as well. I think that curly hair lends to that sort of style
I've been thinking about wrap dresses lately! That exact vintage pattern was what set me off too! I was thinking of making it up as a two piece, wrap skirt and wrap top combo, to get more wear out of them. Gonna bookmark this one!
Lovely work as always! I still need to get myself in gear and make my slopers so I can create the wardrobe of my dreams. That's the only thing holding me back from pattern making. (le sigh)
If it isn't always Pumpkin Time, then at least it SHOULD be. Loved the wrap style. Loved your cute little shaping bits. Gives it more personality. Never thought to use hook and eye closures instead of ties. Seems far more secure. Going to have to try that. :)

On mine too! And since there is Christmas in July in Australia.... Theoretically you can start decorating for Halloween right after Valentine's Day. 😁
It's August not July
AGREED. August 1st and I was like “IT’S SPOOPY TIME” 😂
Thanks Danielle! Halloween must be three months long at least ✨🎃🕸️✨🦇
I would 100% watch you do a craft for making your giant pumpkins.
Blended up egg carton paper maché or a sewn one!
Beautiful work as always!
Thank you! Perhaps next year when I will hopefully have more space ✨
Giant pumpkin poofs. Could you make them like a pillow?
Fits beautifully. Good to get an explanation about reducing ease in the bodice wrap front to conquer gaping.
Thank you Beth!
Beautiful fit and compliments you perfectly.
Thank you Diane!

It is totally awesome the way you zip up a pattern in no time at all. The dress is very beautiful!
Thank you Teresa!

Thank you Lourdes!
Beautiful dress and great with that fabric. I love the tip on helping to close the gaping in the front. Thanks for creating and sharing!
Thank you Joline!
From one goth to another, pumpkins are absolutely year round decor 🎃🎃🎃🎃
Facts ✨🎃🦇

Gorgeous as ever. I love the print. Am *super* picky about florals, honestly. When I find one that I actually like, I am always surprised 😅
Thank you!
Funnily enough, for me, insomnia soundtrack is not a podcast but often The Closet Historian. You have a soothing voice.

Has anyone ever told you you're like the Bob Ross of sewing? Definitely getting those vibes!
I've been watching your cicada series this afternoon. Just got to the dinner bodice. Then I saw you posted a new video. I shall return to that series later
Absolutely SpOoKaLiCiOuS season ! ! ! You are so right -yes, thinner, lightweight bias tape would be delicious!

Love the design! Vaguely resembles an early mid century Chinese Qipao, the black on white floral would be so pretty as a wrap dress/Qipao!
Wrap dresses are a favorite because ... you know... fluctuations. I love the tip on how to prevent the neckline from a possible bit of gaping.
Love me some wrap dress, I need moooore 😍 I have for that matter also prepared black background floral/leafy viscose. So pretty I do not want to cut into it 😄
That dress is STUNNING on you!!!
Thank you Rinae!
Thank you. I have wanted a wrap dress with 1940's vibes. As always you are an inspiration.
Hope you stay cool in heat wave.
Thank you Marie!
This was fantastic! As usual, I learned lots and really enjoyed seeing the actual process. Plus I just want to run out and buy heaps of sateen as well! Here in Australia its usually around $25/metre though. Sad face in the extreme!
agree, also in Australia and can only buy cotton sateen when it is discounted :(

Wow. Everytime it gets better! Beautiful dress!

Most wrap fronts result in a deep V front - love this style! Much more wearable. 🧵

If it isn't always Pumpkin Time, then at least it SHOULD be. Loved the wrap style. Loved your cute little shaping bits. Gives it more personality. Never thought to use hook and eye closures instead of ties. Seems far more secure. Going to have to try that. :)
thank you Crystil! All pumpkins all the time 🎃✨
Very beautiful.
Thank you Debbie!
also highly relatable: almost not wanting to use nice fabric since it's so pretty and it's scary to cut into it!
