    Decided to create this patchwork maxi dress using all my scrap fabrics. Took me two days to make this dress and it was worth the stress!

    I stack my fabrics after pressing, and use a ruler and rotary cutter to get my square cuts. Chain piecing on your serger can also speed up the process. I use a standard machine for my piecing, and press the seams open to reduce bulk when creating the pieced fabric. (I both quilt and make garments, so I use techniques from both).
    Also, I have seen that bias tape machine foot, and oooo, I want one! 😁

    Love it! This is so so nice. I can imagine how much work it was cutting the patches, I recently used up almost all of my scrap and it just felt so fulfilling, knowing I did my own tiny bit in reducing waste generated from garment production.

    • @KimDave
      @KimDave  4 года назад +1

      This is so true Remi. I’ve made a conscious effort to reduce the amount of waste I’m generating to as minimal as possible, hence why I didn’t mind cutting and sewing all the patches together for this dress

    This is so beautiful 😍😍 I have lots of scraps too, definitely going to make this (will probably make a short version) Infact let me get up and start cutting my 6x6 pieces 😂

    IHi Kim: I just looked at how you got started in designing. There are lawyers, doctors, chemists who change their career to become fashion designers after working in their fields for a number of years. In the end its about having a happy life. You are an amazing designer.

    Whenever i watch your videos it just blows my mind. You are so so so gifted. You must have a mathematical mind to create the things you do. You are surely blessed. Keep on sharing. Even it is just a pleasure to watch you design and sew.🙏

    Hi Priscilla, you are amazing.
    anytime I watch your videos, I'm inspired to jump on my machine.
    Your tutorials are so easy to understand. I especially love the ones with patterns.
    Thank you so much.
    Hugs and kisses

    I also just tried a similar patchwork technique. Whew, it’s so much work! Cutting, sewing, ironing. But it’s a labour of love, with a lovely result, seeing small pieces become a new whole! Very magical. The colours and patterns of your fabrics look very nice together. ✨

    • @KimDave
      @KimDave  4 года назад

    I just inherited a sewing machine so I am going to be learning how to sew I was afraid for years my cousin tried to show me and I got fearful of the needle going into my finger so I didn't try anymore now that I do crocheting and making dresses I want to learn how to make linings for my dresses and I came across this because I also want to make a quilt and I was thinking to myself I would love to have a quilt dress and came across your video this is absolutely stunning if I make this dress I can make anything the sky is the limit for me thanks for being such an inspiration to others 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🙋🏾‍♀️

    What to do with the seams of the patchwork if you don’t have a server or over locker? I can’t imagine wearing a quilt top with exposed seams. I hate the look of seams pressed to one side then zigzagged, and I wouldn’t want open seams to fray, i also don’t want a lining lol, so I guess I will never make one, haha.
