How beautiful you are, inside and out. There seems to be an increase in RUclips channels demonstrating clean and simple living, making home and family the focus of their energy. It gives me hope that your collective influence will counter the obsession with makeup and immodest clothing that has proliferated for so long. It is remarkable that there are more and more young people drawn to your way of life. Keep up the good work. It is refreshing to observe.
Amen!!
When sewing on the band style...divided you band in 4th's, then, divide the skirt into 4ths, put pins in those 4th spot, then when stretching and sewing the elastic will match to the pins, Each section will be evenly distributed. You're only stretching a 4th at a time...super easy.
Thank you. I will definitely have to try this.
I have a sewing machine like yours and have restyled many skirts using elastic and drawstring. I did make a reversible skirt using French seams. It was so easy I laughed at my silliness thinking it would be complicated (which is something I do very badly). Thank you for inspiring me to start making things again. God bless you and your family.
Where did you get your pattern for the sack dress?
Lynette, I so wish I would have paid more attention in my Home Ec Class and my mom, I never cared for sewing and I regret not learning when I had the opportunity.
I think what you are doing here is brilliant. What a great way for beginner sewers to practice. Buy thrift shop finds on the cheap and refashion them. If it doesn't work out you aren't out a lot of money and you are learning from your mistakes. Patterns, material and notions can add up. Love your style, the long knit skirts and t-shirts look pulled together but comfy.
Yes! 👍🏽
Love thrift shop finds !❤️ love this video
I absolutely LOVE this. It’s so hard to find dresses and skirts that fit right so I found this super helpful. I wish I knew how to sew lol. It’s also refreshing to find someone that dresses modestly and understands the importance!
You did a great job! The skirts look so good on you. I grew up Mennonite, however, I started attending a Methodist Church as an adult. One very good thing never left me and that's to dress modestly. This is a very good thing. I love your channel and you!
Dana Moore I grew up Methodist in PA. Always dressed modestly and so does my daughter. I’ve had grown men compliment me on the way she was raised. 😌
No matter where you go to church, dressing modestly is a plus ! AND, women who think they need to Show Everything for a man to take a second look are so Painfully lost ! They sadly don't have an appreciation of their true value and beauty !
Love the video
I am a visual learner so this video was great for me. I believe I can now go to the thrift store, purchase a dress, and turn it into a skirt. Thank you for sharing how you make skirts. Sending you virtual hugs.
My sister-in-law grew up in the Philippians where she learned to sew. She was taught to sew without using a pattern. So when she came to America she would go into the fabric store and ask for their old pattern books in order to make clothes. She is very talented. One time she took a dress with sleeves and made it into a sundress. I am envious of her. I need a pattern in order to make clothes.
I love the fact that you are home RAISING your children,cooking real food, and keeping your house and garden neat and tidy. A great lifestyle and a great example to be setting.
I can’t wait to start sewing 🙋🏻♀️, I bought me a brother machine at Walmart. I’m definitely taking your advice on using one of my favorite skirt to start 💁🏻♀️ 🧵 It hard to find skirts that are modest lately. So I decided to take charge of the situation and start sewing me some. 😎
Awesome!!! Have fun!
I really enjoy watching your programs I'm 78 but I just love watching your channel and I want to thank you for the things that you do it and show us and share your delicious recipes in all with us am II think you're really a you and your husband both seem like really sweet wonderful Young people.Just wanna do don't know how much I enjoy your channel wish you were my neighbor I think I would really enjoy living near you lol have a blessed day honey
I have been sewing since I was 11 yrs old, am 65 now. I used to take a part my mother's long pleated wool skirts that she had from high school and made new skirts for me when I was in high school. I sew almost all of my own clothes again since I retired. I have the same serger as you and love it for making all my knit tops. Love your sewing videos.
Lynette I enjoyed this. I can’t sew straight line but I enjoy watching others sew. Thanks for sharing.👩🏻🦰
You did an awesome job. Glad to see someone else dressing modest
I always love your videos. I admire your simplistic lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.
I love that wide elastic for waistbands...so easy to put in and comfortable to wear. You don’t have to encase it. Just sew it to the top edge and flip it to the inside. It actually stays in place really well 😉
I love capedresses!
Well done, Lyn! You've inspired me to try to upcycle one of my thrifted treasures now. I see we have a mutual love of stripes, lol! Thanks for the video : )
You are a great seamstress....very creative.I enjoyed this because I love knit skirts Too!
You are blessed to know how to sew. I can’t sew at all. I know you are enjoying wearing different clothes for a change not just your cape dresses. You are so tiny! Great To see your sister again!
I know I’ve said it before but I love the sewing videos. Thanks
I love the navy skirt with a green top! Who knew the color combo would look so good 😁
This was so interesting to me 😊 I was never a girly girl, but lately the Lord has been leading me to dress in a more feminine and modest way. Thank you for the inspiration and tips!
Lynette thank you so much for showing us I learned some good tips. Love to see more 😃🧵
Hey Lynette, You did a great job. If you didn't want to mess with the top part of the dress you could wear the dress over your t-shirt. Both ways are cute and modest. Im not a sewer but want to be, lol. My husband bought me a machine and so far Ive made some pillow covers. I hope I can make lots more stuff in the future.
Good for you learning to sew. If you look on the Internet there are free patterns and tutorials. I have used a few.
I wish I could sew! The only thing I do is repair things as long as it's in an area that can't be seen. 😀 Great job!
Oh yay!! I love tutorials. :) I like to wear skirts and my husband likes it too 💗
I am LDS and dress modestly too. Thank you for this video. I will show it to my husband because he does the sewing 🧵. I can’t. Lol 💜💚💜💚💜💚
I have never thought to wear a shirt over the dress especially with the string dresses. It’s hard trying to find a strapless bra for my size that looks decent. So now I know I can look at those type dresses and I just need to find a pretty accent top! Way easier!!
Looks great on her yes it was helpful
Personally, I would have just made a casing and threaded the elastic through it. Looks good both ways, but I find a casing easier to do. Love your videos!
That could work too - I’m guessing you mean with the wide kind? That would make more sense. ☺️
@@LynetteYoder Yes, although I've done it with narrow elastic too. I just tack it down with some vertical stitches in several areas so that it doesn't twist in the casing.
Gave me confidence to try and make some of my own! Thank you!
I love this! I'm at the moment working on sewing my first skirt from a larger skirt I picked up from the Goodwill. The pattern is grey with small light pink flowers on stretchy material so I hope it turns out alright. I'm only five foot and it is so hard to find longer skirts that aren't taller than I am. This has given me some ideas so thank you so much for that!
So glad i found this video. I've decided to upcycle for modesty. Can't find anything in my size. I'm glad the Lord has lead me down this path.
I may need to invest in a serger.
Blessings.
I sew my elastic straight onto my skirt. Casing may look a little nicer but it's usually under a shirt and the other way is sooo much simpler.😉 I do this alot with thrifted dresses/jumpers too....chop the tops right off.😊
ryamcokaha that’s what I did with at least two of them 😉
I always enjoy your videos! I also enjoy your family being in the vlogs. God bless ~
I have several striped skirts projects in the works. One already made that needs altered one raw fabric and one dress that needs made into a skirt. You just gave me the much needed inspiration to get them done!
We love you exactly how you are! We love your style & you do an absolutely perfect job explaining the details of your videos! As always, thanks for sharing with us! God Bless💜
Love your videos and I personally sew all the time to relax. I sent you some pics of what I've done the last couple days. Enjoy the sunshine. I'll be down to Cedar Key in about a month. Can't wait!!!!!!
Hi Lynnette! I really, really Enjoyed the video! You are so talented. Wow!! I do not sew. (I wish I did though). All the skirts looks Fabulous, and really good on you. Jax's a little critique, but so cute. And Kayden is charming towards Mommy. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. Love you guys. Have a Great week!! 💖
I recently started to learn to sew clothing. I’ve been using online tutorials. It’s been so much fun! I wish it was a skill I learned a long time ago.
You did a good job at the alterations. Yes the stretch needles are good, they have a little ballpoint at the end so it doesn't cut the knit material. Enjoy your vlogs.
I love your sewing videos. They have been an inspiration for me to start sewing again. I love what you do with your thrift store finds.
I really did like the video today. Thanks for showing us how to alter clothing. Love the variety of videos you are doing. Would live to see a video maybe with some of your new Mennonite friends and family sharing ideas about quilting/ sewing/ recipes. I think that would be fun😁
I wish so bad I could sew. I thought of taking a class....but.....it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks🙁. I really like those skirts! You do a great job👍. I never thought of buying mid length short sleeve dresses and just wear a T-shirt over them! I saw some sleeveless midis at Marshall’s just the other day and they were so cute and a great price! But I just don’t like wearing sleeveless at my age. I feel it’s not appropriate. I think I’ll go back now and just wear a T-shirt over them! What a GREAT idea! Thanks so much for this video🙂
I wish I had your sewing skills! Today 8/21/20 I watched 2 of your sewing videos, and while I LOVE your new clothing style, I have always loved the cape dresses that the Amish/Mennonite women wear. They seem so functional while being oh so beautiful ❤️ Blessings to you and your family 🙏❤️
Great video! Makes me
Want to pull out my machine and get sewing!
I really enjoyed watching your video today. Thanks for sharing!!
I love your sewing videos!:) Would you show us how you put up your hair and fasten your veil? I am new to this and struggle with making it look neat. Thank you!
Great alterations!
Forgot to mention that I do sew. My mom was self taught and sewed really good. I learn from her on the sewing machine and on my own time I sewed by hand. The first time I ever sewed by hand was with a strand of white yarn and sharp tweezers. I made an draw string purse.
I never use actual patterns. I’ll either use just a t-shirt I live or make custom patterns.
Yay! Glad you're back :) Always wanting to learn how to sew :( hope I can one day
It all turn out really well great for you! Thank you for sharing your boys are so cute! God Bless You and Family! Liz...
Thank you, your skirt is beatiful.
I am not sure if they still are, but Kenmore sewing machines used to be manufactured by Janome. They are very good machines.
Yes! Mom had a Janome. ☺️
its neat how this timing is ! i've been trying to decide how i want to do a skirt elastic . this gives me good ideas !
I Love Upcycling & Your skirts are Adorable! The fabrics are so cute. The sweatshirt looks really nice & fun.
I enjoyed your tutorial a lot and thought you had great tips for reusing an article of clothing by adjusting the seams! Thanks!
You are starting to look like a Florida girl, I'm jealous of your tan!
And I love knitting and crocheting. I cross stitch some too. Okay, end of comments.
Great tutorial! I really love the cape dresses. I too dress modestly and sometimes it’s hard to find clothes that are modest and stylish
You are so talented!
Amy Kenmore is 38 years old. It still works amazing.
I have a Kenmore from the late 1950s or early 1960s that I purchased at a yard sale. It has cams so that I can do fancy stitches on it. I have also found more cams at yard sales.
I have one that’s around 30 years old to ❤️ but works great
Lynette, I loved this and you wear your clothes so well. I would have loved to have seen you make a reversible skirt of the polka dots and stripes. :) A french seam on one side would have done that or make/cut the skirt in two sections rather than on the fold and french seam both sides......so cute and two skirts! :) You do a fabulous job with all of this and anyone who sews a bit can easily repeat as you do very well sharing what you are doing. This is something that made me giggle, I have the exact serger and sewing machine models as you do. LOL I had to giggle on that one. What a coincidence. Love how you adjusted your friends sweat shirt. I am thinking she washed it in hot water and dried it in the dryer to shrink it as much as possible and then had you adjust it. We have a screen printing business and the unisex are cut larger but it would surely work unless you order a womens which always run cut a bit smaller. I prefer the unisex for adjusting as I think the womens cuts are not for everyone as they can tend to be much more tapered for the female shape and I for one need a bit of more leeway in my arms and mid section. ;) :) Good luck and I am so enjoying your videos........I love sewing and love assisting as I can. Loving that I found you through Megan's referral! You really save a lot of money with your talents and that is to be so proud of. Love your choices of clothing as well. Very becoming to you.
Blessings and enjoy your upcoming weekend!
I've sewed forever and am confused, But your upcycles are great ! Wash it and then just cut the side seam(s) off and lay your "pattern" on top of it, cut it out....and voila...you have a skirt in a fabric you love !!!!
You have a lovely family, love to watch you.
Love this! You’re sweet and handy! Sending love
Good job. I enjoyed the video. One day i will learn how to sew and will probably come back to this video for tips. Be Blessed.
As a bigger lady up top I find it difficult to find thrifted dresses to fit. I tend to buy to fit my bottom half and take the top off to create a skirt I have quite a few skirts and a lot of scrap tops😁
I enjoyed this video and thought it was super helpful. I have a bunch of long dresses that I need to hem and/or make more modest.
Thanks for sharing! Now I need to get my sewing machine out 😄
Looks great! You could have done the waistband in the polka dot pattern!
Oh I hope she washed that sweatshirt first. They shrink alot. Great tutorial!
You could make the skirt be reversible by using a French seam.....with raw edges enclosed.
Thanks gives me an idea how to go about to do this love it :-)
Great job!!! I love to sew!!
Love your videos! I love to sew! Hope you and your family are doing well since the move😊
because I'm 5'9" and like my skirts to hit the ground, I buy maxi dresses or tube dresses and use them as skirts after cutting the top off and keeping the elastic.
You could do a French seam on the double sided fabric.
That is a great idea.
Fun video!
I’m a beginner at sewing but I think I will try what you did with that striped dress. My daughter is 4 but I I put her in size 10/12 dresses for length. I’ve only been tightening the neckline and adding waist ties to get her dresses to fit a bit better (and the way I tighten the neck is uncomfortable for her). But I’m looking into sewing machines and sewing in the sides and shoulder parts will do the trick.
Yes!! I’m sure you could do that for girls! Hope it helps!
Cute skirts!
I was also shown how to sew from a very very young age. I can also knit too. I’m so glad for the gifts I was given in this area. I can use patterns but I often like to just make up my designs in my head I don’t know how to explain it. I’m from Australia so we are at the end of summer. I’ve been looking for some good quality flannel sheets for my son for winter. You inspired me to maybe just make my own. I liked the look of the zipper sheets you put on your boys beds. I’ve never seen that idea before. Is it possible to get some photos when you next take the sheets off the beds to show me how it’s made? Only if you have time.
Why did you stop wearing your Cape dresses???? Curious.
I would guess that it is not the custom in the congregation they are attending in Florida. There are differences in the custom from one congregation to another.
I was thinking the basic...climate change and cape dresses are more material equals getting hot faster. but Karen also makes a good point.
@@mimir3070 I grew up in Florida, and that occurred to me, too. I still can't stand hot weather, and I frankly underdress when I'm hot; I don't do it with any sense of vanity at all, and I hope I'm not distressing anyone, but I get sick if I overheat, and even wearing sneakers instead of sandals is sometimes too much. Lynette's ability to dress with decorum is admirable.
I love to see you doing Modesty/ sewing videos 🙂 I feel we don't need cape dresses to be modest, but believe we should still strive for modesty❤️
Your boys comments about your skirt amused me 😂 my 5 yr old started watching with me,and he guffawed loudly at the striped one,and said "zebra stripes"🙄 as if I don't have striped ones🤔😁
Hey Lynette! Been watching your channel now for a year or so. Thanks for sharing how to fix skirts like that. Respect how you emphasize modesty. I'm not Mennonite. But I was wondering why the ladies have a strict dress code but the guys don't? Just wondering. Seems to me the guys should be modest too. Notice some of the guys wear shorts and tanks. Is this just a personal choice or is this common? Love watching you and the boys. They're so cute. God Bless!
chloe Masonn where we came from in Ohio we had a stricter dress code for the guys. It just depends on the church really. There’s also a bit of a difference in the issue of being covered properly as a woman compared to a man. But I may open a can of worms there. 😉 not trying to argue. It’s important to try to understand what the Bible has to say about it because people will all have different opinions on things.
Hi Lynette! I really like your video, you have a very lovely personality.Indeed, you are beautiful inside and out! ^^ I am also a Christian, from Hungary, but not Mennonite. Still, I follow you on youtube, because I am interested in people who have different lifestyle, than I do. Keep up your work, and God bless you! :)
Hi! I just found your Channel and I am looking for tutorials on Mennonite style dressing, modest dressing. I am I Seventh Day Adventist, but I love modest dressing
Can you make more videos on how to sew Mennonite dresses?! I want to make them so I can wear them instead of wordly clothes
Unfortunately, Kenmore as a sewing machine brand is no more 😢 I'm guessing that Sears discontinued the brand for sewing machines about five years ago. For quite a few years before the brand was discontinued, they were actually manufactured by Janome.
I found an old Kenmore at goodwill for 12 bucks. Works as good as my 1,000 dollars husqvarna.
I use my mom's 1970's army green, solid metal Kenmore. It has two stitches (straight and zig zag). It's all I use. I was wondering why you weren't using a zig zag stitch on the knits. I'd always heard to use zig zag on stretch fabric.
Yes I’ve done that myself. I forgot. I’m used to sewing knits and I guess I’m not in the habit. But I think I had mentioned that on previous videos. ☺️
I would love to glean second hand dresses and do this! Great content. Would you ever do a subject like how you keep your hair so neat ? Is it in a bun or what under your veil? I am so tired of having my hair cut and have a head start on growing it a bit right now before the hot summer gets here. I used to wear buns yrs ago but since have joined the shorter styles for comfort. But I don't like having rely on a hair stylist. Thanks
a bunch!
I don’t think I will - just Because it’s something I prefer to keep private. But the basic idea is - a ponytail in the back - wrap the hair around .. secure with a straight hairpin then wrap a hairnet around it to secure it. Then I’d out hairpins all around it. I also used to use two side Barrettes to hold the hair in better and possibly hook a hairpin to.
Or you can do a twist style bun. No hair net. Hair is twisted before wrapping it around the ponytail and then secure with hair pins.
@@LynetteYoder Thank you Lynette. Totally understand. :)
Wow! You are very talented. Do you find that you have to wear a slip under any of these?
What does everyone do for slips? I feel like every dress for summer is so see through :/ but some whenever I wear a slip they move or twist and don't lay comfortably. I feel like I'm adjusting them too much
I know what you mean. I have a half slip if needed. And my regular dresses I had a full slip..
@@LynetteYoder I'll need to look for a full slip then. It is a half slip that misbehaves lol
Thanks for the tips. Would you mind sharing the brand of the burgundy pattern skirt?
I’m not sure off hand. It was thrifted and isn’t a common brand.
Thank you for This!
French seams, you make the stripe/poke a dot reversal.
I like the way you reimagine or repurpose the dresses into skirts. I was just wondering, since you will no longer be wearing cape dresses will you at some point consider wearing pants?
Chery Treder no I won’t. ☺️
just out of curiosity, is there a specific reason why your not wearing cape dresses anymore?
Do u make any crochet videos I'd love to learn how to make amish crochet blankets I've seen some but the are hard to make do u crochet any if so please
