    I've never really wanted kids, but when I see this adorable princess I just can't help but thinking it would be nice. She's all smiles, how adorable! Also, that coat suits her perfectly, such a great idea you had there.

    Your little cousin looks so adorable. It makes me think about how my mom and grandmother used to all of my clothes especially since I had crazy body proportions making me hard to fit. Plus with them making my clothes for me it meant so much more than the store-bought.

    you need to do a channel making clothes for Harper called "sewing up with Harper" or "growing up with Harper". that would be so cute. BTW she is a wonderful little model.

    Just wanted to note that what you started with was a plaid wrap skirt (not a kilt) my mom had a similar skirt in the 90s. My hubby has a kilt though :) But anyway, the cape turned out super adorable! I love this series and always look forward to new videos!

  • @lestranged
    @lestranged 8 лет назад +47

    It looks like you didn't have enough fabric to try to match the plaid on the left and right front pieces, which is a bummer. This plaid has a large repeat. If anyone makes this from scratch or with more fabric, matching the plaid on the front pieces is a really good idea.

    • @toBe8ere
      @toBe8ere 8 лет назад +1

      lestrange is it more common, unless preferred otherwise, to match the pattern perfectly when it comes to patterned clothes?

    • @lestranged
      @lestranged 8 лет назад +9

      If you have enough fabric, I would at least try to match the horizontal motifs (the horizontal stripes in the plaid or other pattern motifs like large flowers) so that it appears to continue smoothly across the front. The front is what people see first and notice the most. Matching the pattern at side seams is also desirable if possible. I also try to match the pattern on patch pockets , such as shirt pockets, so that they kind of meld into the bodice.
      When buying ready made clothes, it's often the mark of a well made piece when the pattern is matched perfectly at the seams. The larger the repeat, the more extra fabric you might need to match it, but large repeats are also the most noticeable when they are not aligned. If it's a really small pattern like gingham, you don't need to worry so much, because at a distance it looks more like a texture and you can't even see the checks.

    • @KatieLuvsToSing
      @KatieLuvsToSing 8 лет назад

      +Michelle Miyazato yeah why would you not if you had enough fabric?

    • @lestranged
      @lestranged 8 лет назад +12

      Well matched patterns can make a garment look more high end just like good finishing on the inside, etc. French seams, full linings, perfectly fitted to YOUR body instead of an 'average' body.
      Almost no ready made garments have the high quality details anymore (especially not garments in my price range), so when I make things I like to put those in.
