Ms. Andrea, being new to sewing, I have watched many tutorials, but I always come back to yours! You are clear and concise with your instructions; the videos are full of handy hints from your vast experience, not just chatter (I like chatting, but when it's a sewalong, I want to learn lol). I cannot express my gratitude enough for you taking the time and trouble to film these sewalongs. May we please have more!
Nice sew along. Thanks. You could easily sew this dress with contrasting bands on the cuffs and facing. Just sew the constrasting facings so they are on the outside instead of the inside and use contrasting fabric for the cuffs.
Such a great sew along! Thank you for all your amazing tips and tricks ! I have had that pattern for quite some time but for some reason felt intimidated to sew it. Thought it was going to be difficult. And I have that exact fabric!, you have inspired me to make it. I might make mine a maxi dress?…💕
Hello Andrea! I love watching your sew alongs. Very nice dress! Like the fact that you do the neckline first and I really like your method of doing the gathers; very nice and even. I definitely give this a go! Thank you an Greetings from Germany 😊
Thank you very much, this is really helpful , lots of handy hints like the sizing and how to get the corners sharp and the gathers even. I've just got the pattern and really looking forward to doing it 🧡
Andrea, I just watched this tutorial. You made the construction of it seem so easy ☺️. It's a lovely dress, definitely one I'd love to make. I love the shape of the bodice. You really managed to get the facing to sit beautifully too. Thanks a mill 👏
Your timing of this sewalong couldn’t be any better Andrea! I love, love a notch neck😍 and this version of this pattern is just beautiful. Thank you so much for all of the tips, especially on doing the neckline first. Now I just need to decide whether to do the top or dress version. Thanks again for sharing x
Thank you for the tutorial. You have inspired me to make the dress. I especially like your gathering method. The fabric is really nice with the style dress.
Great tutorial- thank you. I am just making my toile and was following the printed pattern instructions but seeing it made really helps. And the step for putting on the elastic at the waist was great - very simple but so effective! Thank you. 👍😄
Thank you Andrea! Now I am off to make me a Fringe dress. 😄 I really appreciate your tutorials! They inspire me to be more adventurous in the patterns I am choosing and I thank you for that!
I just wanted to say your video was fantastic. I managed to work along side it as you went slowly and explained all the fiddly bits which I would have struggled with. Please do more. Many thanks
I truly love your sewalong style--relaxed and so informative. Your tips are really great, especially the turning of the perfect points. Thank you so much.
Ah fab. When I struggled to understand the neckline instructions and couldn’t find a tutorial so this is one of the reasons I thought it would be good to do a sewalong . Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you for such a brilliant tutorial Andrea, your instructions make it so clear and easy to follow. I have this pattern and some fabric ready to start the B choice of this dress so your tutorial helps so much. I can't wait to get started and I absolutely love your fabric choice. It's so lovely to see the fabrics made up. Thank you again and I cannot wait for the next tutorial.x
That was so helpful Andrea! Thank you! Thank I’ve recently made that view and got confused with the neckline so I will follow this for my next version 😊
I was so excited when I saw the notification for this tutorial. I started on view A this afternoon and am using Atelier Brunette double gauze which I love. Your dress looks gorgeous and if mine turns out half as nice I’ll be very happy. Thank you for the wonderful sewalong.
Your videos are very good Andrea. I like that you have shown the iron ! too. Your steps are well thought out and methodical. Great to follow someone with good practical experience, you are very much appreciated :)
Thank you so much for that tutorial, Andrea. I have this pattern to make the top and the tips you have given will really help. I know I will want to make a dress in the future too and will try your method for gathers - looks so much better than how I do it now. Your dresses look lovely x
Karen it’s such a great pattern , I love it . The gathering works so well for thus dress . I gathered it by machine the first time I made one and it was shocking to look at so am delighted with this method .
So I love the elastic idea as I hate gathering the other way. I guess I could serge the elastic on and save doing it separately earlier on. That would work wouldn’t it? Like ribbing.
Does having the open neck line help you put the dress on when there isn't a zip etc. or using a fabric with stretch. I recently made The Bettine from Tilly & The Button in a midi length using a cotton fabric and i struggled to get the dress one over my shoulders. I am a 10/12 dress size. I have been catch up with your videos tonight for ideas & sorting out my patterns and fabric stash as my friends and me are off to Craft4Crafters at Shepton Mallet Show Ground October 2023 Thanks for answering my ?? xxxx
I don’t have any trouble getting the fringe dress over my head . I think the viscose fabric helps with this too . It’s light weight and has a little stretch due to the nature of viscose . Cotton fabric has little drape and is a thicker than viscose . Maybe you could try a Bettine in viscose ? I’ve only made the Bettine once & it was a double gauze which was lovely and easy to get on and off because it has its own built in stretch . Have fun planning . X

That is such a great tip to stitch the neckline facings before doing any of the other seams. It makes complete sense!

Smashing tutorial thanks
So I love the elastic idea as I hate gathering the other way. I guess I could serge the elastic on and save doing it separately earlier on. That would work wouldn’t it? Like ribbing.
Yes you definitely could serge it on
Beautiful dress. It looks so comfy 🧵

Thank you. Such a calm tutorial. How easy would it be to raise the the neck line by 1 1/2 inches it’s a bit revealing for me.
You’re welcome , shouldn’t be any problem to raise the neckline . It would be a matter of re drawing the neckline and facing
I Love the fring dress. I Made view A. Can you maybe make a sewalong with the lyra dress?
Thank you . I haven’t made myself a Lyra.. I love doing sewalongs after I’ve made a few and have tips to share .
👏
Please remind me which Pfaff machine you're using. Thank you!
It’s the Pfaff select 4.2 , I did a review a few videos back
@@Beyondthepinkdoor Yes, I saw it. A lovely review too.!
Hi Andrea lovely tutorial!!! do you put elastic in the waist when ever gathers are called for as its a fab idea x
Yes , this is my favorite method .
😀
