    Hey, Carly! I'm a 55 year old gremlin, cutting out stuff on the floor! I call it "sewing yoga", and if you could see me doing it, you'd totally understand why.
    You're brilliant and an inspiration!
    Thank you!

    One of the most stunning dresses I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing your process! ❤️🧡 Love love love the color blocking! 😍
    I just finished helping make a prom dress with satin and mesh embroidered fabric! Quite tricky 😅 but satisfying! Now working on some fun drawstring bags ✨

    This video was just the perfect vibes!!! I love seeing you documents new techniques you learn, as well as trialling new things like this project. As I was watching, I'm just hand sewing a little neck corset for a little fair jester look I'm creating. Immaculate vibes 10/10

    I have confession, I love your videos and your makes, your personality shining through, but I am not huge fan of patchwork overall. Its usually too busy for me. But I absolutely fall in love with this make of yours. So this is how to get to me, with little bit more simplicity but huge intrigue. I will probably attempt something similar 😍 Thank you for inspiration!

    • @fromcarlyb
      @fromcarlyb  Год назад +1

    That dress looks amazing! I'm working on a wedding guest dress too. Vogue 9100. It's the first dress I'm making for myself, first time inserting an invisible zip, sewing princess seams and fitting princess seams. After 6 or so muslins, it's looking pretty good. Enjoy the wedding party!

    I worked on upsizing my saree blouse. And I realised what a poor job the so-called professional tailor had done. In my country people get their clothes made by tailors on a regular basis.
    I noticed the following problems:
    1. Horribly done invisible zipper
    2. One of the sleeves had one side cut smaller than the other.
    3. One half of the bodice was not the same size of the other half.
    It was as if the bodice and the arms were cut on the same side ( I hope it makes sense) 😅
    I literally cried while fixing it and realised the professional tailors do not actually sew professionally for everyone and me learning to sew is paying its dividends.
    Also I have a question:
    Is there a specific reason you chose to use your domestic for this fabric rather than your Juki?

    • @fromcarlyb
      @fromcarlyb  Год назад +1

      sorry for all the fuss with your shirt! I hope it is looking good now. Also I originally started with my domestic because I had ball point needles to use & they only fit my domestic... I didn't end up using them so I definitley could've/should've used my industrial but I had already threaded my domestic & I was just too lazy to change haha!!
