No Whammies! Most people have no experience saying my mother's name, Noemi. To this day, she still tells people it is like saying No Whammies. Most people don't remember the game show, but it still worked. Sometimes my mother would tell people to think of Susan Lucci, no emmies...but then she had to go and get one. 🤣
HAHAHAHA this is too perfect! Hilarious!
Heh. Say hi to your mother from a Czech who knows several Noemis and would have no trouble pronouncing it 😀 - although my way would be more Czech than English so maybe still wrong. 😉 (It's how it's normally spelled over here but it's a rare name here as well - mostly popular among Protestants who form a small section of the population. But you reminded me now how I got very cross with someone online years ago insisting we were spelling it "wrong"... not realising, I'm guessing, that Czech spelling reflects pronunciation very closely so from our point of view spelling it differently would completely change the word!)
🤣
Brilliant advice at 6:40 about Directional Sewing!! I had no idea 🤷🏼♀️ Love, me a new fan of you & hubby 😊
🥰love directional sewing! Hope you’re employing it in all your sewing 💗
3/8” is approximately one centimeter. Lots of great information here, even if this dress/robe is not my style, I can definitely apply the techniques you showed!! Love you two!! (Hi Rob!!) 😍❤️😘
Thank you my metric friend! I was hoping the techniques would be useful even without the robe vibe 💗(and Rob says Howdy!)
Great tips Marcy! Thank you. I’ve been sewing forever but no-one explained the reason for sewing up from the bottom. Also I think i’ll add a little tie in front because I like a little security from breezes.
A little tie would be lovely. Sometimes I add ties halfway up the sleeves as well to gather them up 🤗
@@handmadeharriells it would be a handy option to keep them safe while cooking. (I am clutz and use a gas stove!)
Just wanted to let you know that my granddaughter age 7 also a sewist, watched this with me and then asked What did she mean about “let the bias drop”? I showed her a scrap of fabric on the bias and how it can stretch out. Thanks for teaching the young folks in an entertaining way. Each time I visit, she asks about a new Marcy and Rob sewing video.
That just made us both so happy!! We love thinking of y’all sewing together… and are pleased to be a little part of it 💗💗
I love the dynamic with you two. Also the sense of humour is great hahaha So glad I found your channel. One good thing about the Pandemic ^.~
💗💗acting like fools together has certainly brightened our pandemic, we’re glad to hear that!
@@handmadeharriells It was one of your mask sewing videos that I first saw then I devoured your other videos. I’m a self taught sewist and you’ve been an excellent resource!
I love love you!!! You’re so amazing darling!! Thank you for the tutorial. I have this pattern in my stash! 🥰
Thank you Janie!
Hi Marcy, just want to know why you are living now and why, if it isn't too personal. Also, just want to know if you are procrastinating making Robs suit again, right Rob?
HUSH HE MIGHT HEAR YOU 🤣
Rob's family is down south--since the pandemic we've been splitting time between here and NY. It's a wonderful change of pace 💗
Just found you - I’m a brand new sewer in the UK . Thank you for having personality 😂😂😂😂
Great idea using twill tape, Marcy, very clever of you, love your robe💓
I love this tutorial, excellent instructions/demonstrations! Thank you for sharing and doing it so clearly 😊
I'd subscribe twice if I could. I love your attention to details and educated methods on this simple and nicely modified garment.
🥰🥰🥰thank you SO much!
You, dearest, are a very good teacher-- breaking this down into a little gown was brilliant.
Thankya Ruby!!!
Yes, I LOVED that part. So smart.
What kind of fabric is good for this? I’m new to sewing so I don’t know what to use😅
Great advice. I never do notches🤦🏿♀️I will start. Thank you
The most beautiful robe/duster ever! You gave us some great sewing tips too. Really appreciate. I have one too. I was taught to sew a 1/4" seam first, and then turn and do a 3/8" seam... and voila, no trimming, All in all you have your 5/8" seam. To each his own, but just thought I'd pass that along for those who'd like to have it. So wonderful to see you and get one of your helpful sewalong tutorials. Love the twill tape finish. Hi to Rob. Ed. I'd love to see how you trim the hem after it hangs out. I remember so many years standing on a chair so my mom could trim or pin a level line after hanging, and before hemming.
Yes that works great! I wanted a smaller finished seam allowance for this sheer fabric so I went the trimming route.
I should do a time lapse of leveling a hem. That’s one of my very favorite things to do in the morning when I don’t want to make sewing machine noise. I can sit on the floor and level a hem for a solid hour. It’s like meditation 🤗 hopefully your mom didn’t make you stand that long!
@@handmadeharriells ... standing and turning, turning and standing... irritating as a kid, but nice of her to do it. Figured the smaller seam might be your goal with this beautiful filmy fabric.. So beautiful.
Just found you & subbed love your personality and I will stay tuned for more. I’m a newbie and just bought my first sewing machine. You make it look doable! Thank you for making these videos 🤩
I love that pattern. Although I have made that pattern twice in jersey & satin, I picked up a lot of tips from your video. I might try a chiffon or another lightweight sheer fabric for my next one❣️
It’s wonderful in a sheer fabric, I hope you try it!
Thank you, Marcy, so much! I started back sewing with difficult projects I needed to start right here. 👏 I am so making this!
Thanks so much, Marcy! You are such a great teacher…fun and informative!😍
🤗🤗you’re welcome Debbie!
Paused video to search Australian Amazon for CORK TILES 🥰🥰🥰
Perfect for cutting. Can pin the fabric to the cork mat. LOVE IT!!! ❤️
Love you two! ✌️💕
yes, they’re SO good. I hear knitters also use them to block stuff!
Thank you so much for using different colored thread!
Love you tie knots in yours I do too. I'm set on making an oversized dark green kimono for winter. Something with a more structured fabric. Maybe even make it in taffeta or a wax fabric who knows
24 hours is a short time. for a garments like this i live 1 week (yes im extra lol)
I noticed your Razorback shirt…are you guys from Arkansas?
Oh you are awesome! I love the cork tiles idea. Great video! Thank you ❤
I love you fun sew gal so good intel new ways of sewing made fast and easy tips i like all your DO DO DOS
Beautiful!!! Love!!!! Thank you for the support!!!!
Its beer o'clock somewhere!
ALWAYS
Really fun sew along, lots of good info tucked in there!
Love your directional instructions!!
I love your channel, and you and your husband are so fun.
Was watching the show Manifest last night and there you were! Also when I was binge watching another series you were there as a nurse/assistant on a couple of episodes. I want to say it was NCIS, but I’ve binged watched sooo many series over the last year+. Always excited! It’s like I know you personally
I love that! We all know each other through screens now so we’re all pretty much personal friends 👍🏽and yes, that was NCIS-I loved that role 👻
I'm new to sewing. Well I sewed as a kid but never with any real instruction or names for certain stitches. But now that I'm older I brought out my old singer and I found this pattern at my craft store and i can not wait to try it. Thank you so much for this great video. You make me so excited to get back into sewing. .
that’s WONDERFUL. I hope you’re sewing right this minute 💗
Love this!
How much fabric would I need to do this version? In say a size 10/12 Australian sizing?
Hi Leah! there are yardage requirements on the envelope that correspond to the size you choose-I’m usually a size 12 and go for about 3 yards of 60 width fabric because I like to play with pattern placement 💗
Wow! You made this look so doable. I have one commercial pattern and the instructions seem baffling! I might just have to make one up for my upcoming cruise! Also, what fabric did you use for your first duster? The pink one?
This would be so glamorous on a cruise! The pink one is a burnout mid weight chiffon, definitely of the polyester persuasion 💗
Gorgeous! I wonder if this pattern could work on a heavier material with a lining? Something you could wear as a fall season duster? Or even a quilted duster?? Thoughts?
Oh absolutely. I think you’d want some sort of a closure at center front though, just to keep the weight of heavier fabric hanging in a pleasing way. Maybe a frog closure?
I enjoyed watching your video greetings from the Netherlands.
Hello Netherlands! Thank you mari 💗
I love your sewing tutorials.
Your choices are so amazing- they make me want to be a woman.
But then I realize I can’t afford a drastic pay cut…. I don’t make enough as it is!!!
But I still love watching you construct these garments.
I also love your term ‘sewist’.
As a weaver, who has sewn since high school, I’m always aware of the gendering of terms. When people stop themselves as they start to say seamstress…. er, um, SeamSTER? I’m not necessarily a gender warrior, but having chosen more ‘feminine’ ventures in my life, the unnecessary gendering is constantly being shown to me.
Any way….. Love you 😍
You've made me smile from laughter *and* deep thought!
I always liked sewist-- it seems more fit as an artist and yeah, more inclusive. And not only that, I think the common civilian perception of seamstress vs tailor has an incorrect ring to it! 💗
Winner for the best post ever.
Hi Doll! Always gorgeous & always talented! Thanks for the sew along 😘
you're most welcome!
New comment on older video. After a dry spell of sewing and arts in general, I watched your video on the duster. I’ve got my fabric and even found enough puzzle/cork tiles(no longer available available new, I believe), on eBay. I am interested in sewing, once again. I like a challenge! Keep making video, they are gold.
You always make your tutorials fun!
I realised I've been using the same twill tape trick on my woven bra experiments. :D Did you by any chance steal it from taping the edges of strapless dresses? I feel like it's the sort of trick that would happen there...
I also realised that I have some very lightweight wool I wasn't entirely sure what to do with and... we're facing the prospect of being pretty cold next winter so it occurred to me that a lightweight robe for lounging around the house in, done in _wool,_ might be just the trick... we'll see what happens because right now my creative life is entirely occupied by the treasure trove of hoards of yarn that I got at work!
twill tape or stay tape ?
what's the difference ?
which is preferred/better ?
I prefer twill tape for this treatment, it gives the neckline a little oompf. But they both have advantages depending on what you’re doing!
You two are delightful. 😂 And I'm learning a lot from you.
Please disregard my first comment. This video does help with delicate fabrics.
I have a small space, sharing the home with 7 other adults. That tile hack comes in so much handy. I can bring it out and put it away when I need to.
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
This civilian absolutely LOVED your tips on gathering. No doubt gathering is one of the skills that made me feel most insecure in assembling a project. You two are adorable and thanks for sharing your expertise with us!!!
You make me smile every time!! Thanks bunches.
🤗you’re so welcome!
Had to hunt for this pattern. Thank goodness for eBay! Can’t wait for it to come in so I can make this!
Thank you sweet Marcy for this great sew along! I can’t wait for ‘Madam Joann’ to have a sale on Vogue patterns. I will be elbowing everyone out of my way to those sacred drawers of hopes and dreams✌️🥰
I like the way you put that 🤩I hope you get into those drawers SOON 😉
They are sale today
Hi Marcy! First time sewer here (meaning this is the first time I've ever used a sewing pattern or machine haha) When you say mark the notches and pleats, what does that mean? Do I mark it on the fabric using pins or a marker of some sort? Also, do you have an email I could contact if I have more questions :) which I probably will haha
Also, do I cut out two of each pattern? For the front and the back?
Amrita, I’m so sorry I missed these questions! Hopefully you jumped in, but you do cut 2 front, and 2 back. If you look at the mini-visualizing section, that might help you get an idea of how that works! For notches, those are the teeny triangles on the seam lines of the pattern. You take a teeny snip into those, so you can match up your pattern pieces. For things like pleats and darts, you mark those in chalk, or you can use a heat erasable pen (but, you’ll lose those marks once you press them!).
I just started sewing again, you’re a great teacher! I forgot so much
Imma like it Marcy!!! You can count on me. 😊
🤗🤗🤗
Thank you, I am always delighted by your videos! I am a quilter working up the nerve to try clothing. Why press the seam open before flipping to iron it closed again? 💙
It kind of... trains the fabric into folding along the seamline which comes in handy for then pressing it crisp from the other side. If you don't do it from the seam allowance side first, you can very easily catch some wrinkles in your pressing when you press it folded and can't see what the seam allowances are doing.
Beth is right! Pressing also sets your stitches and sets you up for success 💗
@@beth12svist Thank you!
Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️🌹
❤️❤️❤️
🖤💙💚
Dang girl I haven’t cut mine out yet… life happens every week it seems I work harder at housework and such than when I worked a job. Oh well maybe next week. My sewing room is no where near as set up as your. But I’m working on it.
I’ll tell ya it took a lot longer to set this room up than I thought it would! Hope you get a chance to sew SOON
I love this robe. I would never have attempted to alter a pattern, but you made it look so simple! Now I need to find the pattern, I have a beautiful rayon batik that would be perfect!
Thank you ! And so glad Rob popped up in the video! Once again, a big ok smile after watching you two! Thank you!
This alteration is SUPER simple. Careful….It’ll make you want to hack more patterns 💗💗
👏
I just bought fabric this Wednesday, waiting for this video. Shh birthday present for daughter.
Ooooo she’s gonna love it!!!!
Aww shucks you love us!! We love you....great tutorial and great robe!! sew chic xxxx
We do! 💗💗💗
This “like” is for the “**just the tip**”. Too funny! You have a new subscriber.
🤣🤣🤣🤣you’re gonna get a lot of that around here. Thanks for joining us!
Thank you, Marci. I got back into sewing with making your face masks and have been rolling with you since! ❤️
You’re so welcome Julie, and I’m super glad to hear you kept going after masks, that was my goal!
I love learning but most of all, I love wonderful energy. I am subscribing. This video is a first for me of your material. Thanks much!
Happy to have you here!!
Just watched a special on the Fugi's...so sew cool.
Ah yes! Another life!
@@handmadeharriells you have sew many gifts!
this is the first time I've seen any of your videos, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it! You are smart, funny and sassy, so naturally I had to subscribe!
Thankya so much, we're glad to have you here!
Love, love, love it! I have the pattern but no fabric!🤦🏽♀️ I have to make this!!!!
Careful, once you make one you’ll wanna make seven 😁
This might be a dumb question or I might have missed it but why did you end the dart seam with a hand tied knot and a tuck in? Why not a backstitch?
not dumb at all, there are no dumb sewing questions!
if you backstitch at the end of a dart, you can create a bubble at the tip that will show on the right side of the fabric. This is one way to avoid that, but there are others as well! Maybe I’ll do an “all about darts” video 👍🏽
@@handmadeharriells that would be great! I have taught myself to sew since so long ago. I quit for many years and started again a few years ago. I play it safe and sew with cotton lawn. I have had a few disasters with rayon ☺️
@@handmadeharriells I forgot to say Aloha from the islands
Hello to my sewing ROYAL family. I love when I see your videos. You bring the sunshine in every time I see you. God bless you and your family.
🤗🤗hiya Beverly! Thank you from both of us 🤴🏼👸🏽
👍 lil snip. Thanks for the tip
If you mark the fabric down the center of the dart you can just fold on the marking and press the dart for easy accurate sewing.
Yes, that’s a great tip too-but on shifty/slinky fabrics I find that the legs can still move on you!
I learned to sew from widest to narrow. Thanks Marcy!
Wonderful!💗
Hi Marcy, what is the fabric of the robe you showed in the opening of the video?
That’s another poly burnout, I love a good burnout!
Hooray! My pattern will be here Monday. I cannot wait! This is going to make my super casual comfy wardrobe classed up and colorful. The video is crystal clear and makes me feel confident. Thanks so much!
AWESOME! Let me know if you post your robe anywhere!
Love Rob AND Marcie in my life (through video).
🤗🤗🤗Thankya Jailyn!
3/8 inch is just shy of a centimeter. Love the Video, Thank you!
This is the simplest conversion and it’s the one I can never remember! 🤣
Great tutorial as always, can you tell me where is the fabric store in downtown Manhattan coming to NY in a couple of weeks and want to get some pieces. Thanking you in advance.I would probably make some bias stripes out of the same like fabric as I’ve done on certain garments I’ve made. Pressing is the key.
Thanks Evelyn! I nabbed this a few months back at one of my favorite bargain stores, it’s in this video: NYC Shopping Vlog: BARGAIN GARMENT DISTRICT
ruclips.net/video/9c-hTzxUEgM/видео.html
I loooove making bias tape, but a heads up….this one will be finicky! Lots of pressing in your future, which is not necessarily a bad thing 😉lemme know what you find!
@@handmadeharriells Thank You very Much.
Love your videos! I’d love to see what method you use to level the hem once it hangs a while.
I’ll put that on the list! I love to level a hem💗
Rob just hanging out and spicing up a sewing lesson and then fades away. Perfection.
You know how he do 🤣
Hi. Please do a video on sewing w delicate fabrics or again. You may have done a video before concerning delicate fabrics. Thank you. I really appreciate your help.
Ya know…….I had some extra tips on delicate fabrics that I had to cut for time! Maybe I’ll do another “tips” video 💗
@@handmadeharriells That would be so amazing of you. I have over 20 yards of beautiful pastel/watercolor chiffon that I am afraid to use because the tips I find on working with delicate material are so contradicting or complex that it puts me off. Much love 💗
What a great technique with the twill tape! Thanks so much for sharing!!
You’re most welcome!
Excellent video
Thankya, I hope you’re sewing along with it!
I love watching your videos! Even after being a sewist for over 40 years, I still learn stuff :) Can I ask why you use a French seam and not a flat felled seam? Would that be too bulky for the flowy fabrics?
That’s lovely to hear, and an excellent question! For this soft fabric, flat felled seams are kind of a pain- this lightweight burnout doesn’t want to take a creased press. But I do love a flat felled seam-that could be a good option for the waist where there’s more bulk!
@@handmadeharriells Thank you! I hadn't considered that :)
Love me some French seams!
Lovely that fabric is perfect. I’m hoping to come to Fayetteville this summer. If I do we should meet up at Savoy for tea!
Ahhhh, I wish we were here through the summer but we’ll likely be NY humans over the summer!
@@handmadeharriells I see how it is! 😆 just teasing!
Thank you so so so much, Marcy! I am learning more from you than I ever learned through hundreds of other YT videos. I just learned that I was doing the French seams wrong, as I was sewing first at 1/4 and then at 3/8. D'ohhh! Question, instead of twill tape can I use satin ribbon for more of a wow factor?
Twill tape has the advantage of being more willing to go around curves; I think a satin ribbon might be too stiff for that purpose. But I think you might tape the edges with satin bias tape for that wow factor, in much the same way?
That’s fine too, there’s more than one way to French seam! This way gives you a smaller seam finish(and you can go even teenier to finish at a 1/8th inch SA).
I’ve used prettier trim for this finish, but yes as Beth said 💗, satin ribbon won’t have enough give. But there’s certainly options out there that would work!
@@handmadeharriells and @beth12svist Thank you so much to both of you for taking the time to respond and provide more details. 🥰😍❤
Girl work!
😁😁😁💃🏽
Thanks for showing and sharing this. Really helpful. Have a great day!!!
Thanks Traci!
Your Welcome
I have a dumb question. What's the difference between Twill Tape and Bias Tape? Is it that you should use Bias around circles like sleeve hems? And twill around the straight hems? I think that's the case, but I would like to know for sure or is it just preference? Thanks for the great tutorial.
Twill tape is woven and stiffer, bias tape is stretchy and yes, makes curves easier.
@@joane8651 Thank you!
You’re most welcome, and there are no dumb questions! As Joan said bias does make curves easier. This neckline just has a slight curve around the center back neck so the twill tape has enough give to work. Most sleeve hems are straight, but you wouldn’t want to use this twill finish on a curved skirt hem 👍🏽
I prefer using the twill finish vs bias on the neckline because it’s less work, and a little less bulk!
I love the open robe.
I love this! I’m so glad I found you
Thankya! glad to have you here 💗💗
Love your energy!
Well I have cut put the pattern paper and going to cut the fabric and do this today!
AWESOME!
Well life got in the the way and I did not cut fabric until yesterday. But I think I have butchered it. It is way to sheer of a fabric I had chosen, but I will see if I can still save the bottom. The top 🙄 not sure.
is twill tape the same as bias binding tape?
No that’s a different beast, though you could use bias tape…. The twill tape is a quicker finish here!
Great advice
🥰enjoyed it
☮
You two are hilarious 😂
🤗thankya Lucy!
