    I like the idea for a tie belt that goes through the "belt loops" you made at the top of the pockets. Thanks for the idea, I'm going to copy that.

    Your dresses look so cute & really beautiful, you have done a great job. Thank you for a great tutorial. I’m in the uk & made several of the pop-over dresses last year. This time using the same pattern but making the size for twelve year old as they don’t get so many of these. Made three so far with five more cut out - some lined & others reversible, so will keep going. 😊

    • @kgflcreations
      @kgflcreations  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much Alison😊. I’ve heard lots of people are going to sew bigger sizes this year, which is really nice 👍. I’ve have six done and four more to sew🙌🏻🙌🏻. Like you said: keep on going 😉😉.

    Hi Karen, a most delightful video 😊. I really enjoyed seeing your sewing demo as I find the finish on your sewing is always so lovely. It looks like one of your secrets is lots of ironing at each stage of sewing - I do much the same. Your dresses are so pretty and I thought the application of the ric rac was such a good idea. Happy sewing. 🌸xx

    • @kgflcreations
      @kgflcreations  5 месяцев назад
