- Hello,
Welcome to my channel 😊.
So here is my first ever #sewalong that I have shared with you. I really hope that you have enjoyed watching me sew my first ever Tilly and the Buttons Indigo dress.
I have made this in a size 4.
My body measurements for reference at the time of filming this are :
Bust 36
Waist 30
Hips 37
I am 5ft 6"
I would really like to post future sew alongs. If there are any garments that you are particularly interested in seeing me sew, or any details that would be helpful, let me know in the comments.
If you would like to follow me over on my instagram account, here is the link :

In the video I mentioned that I used a loop turned from Guthrie Ghani and also a hot hemmer. Here are the links to both :

Thanks so much again for watching.
Hope you all have a good week.
Take care

Despite being locked in with my husband and son, I feel quite lonely and sewing is a pretty lonely hobby. So, sitting and watching you sew and hearing your tips makes me feel very comfortable and almost as though you are a friend. 😊
I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling like that. Lockdown is just so tough isn't it. It really makes me happy to think that I have kept you company, and I really appreciate you letting me know too 🥰. I do hope that you're ok ❤️
Loved this video especially as Im a newbie and have just discovered Till and the Buttons. Those little extra tips are pure gold, thank you. I will be hunting out more of your post Angela as Im getting a little addicted to this new hobby!
Aahh that's just wonderful, I hope you're enjoying your new hobby. You'll find it's a bit addictive 😂
Thank you so much 😊💕
This is a reality TV sew a long! 1) it doesn't always get done in one day 2) we substitute instructions with the techniques that work for us 3) Try on a you go 4) I also get my hip daughter's honest input before moving forward 5) Seam ripper always comes out 6) loop turner has mood swings 7) Ease is an amazing mystery 8) Hems get adjusted. The dress looks great. A slightly shorter skirt hem would look cute too but it's fine as is for your needs.
Bless you - thank you - Yes doesn't always go to plan - this is definitely real!!! 😂🙈
Thank you so much - I really really appreciate your comments. I have to be honest I am already wondering about making it slightly shorter! I will have a think and wear it a few times first.
Thank you 🥰
What a great sew-along, very natural, very informative and great for a beginner like me venturing out into making my own dresses. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! I'm so pleased you found it helpful 😊
A really clear sew-along. Love your explanations. Your dress is beautiful too.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you 🥰
I feel confident that I could actually tackle this after watching your tutorial- thanks 😊
You can do it! Thank you so much 🥰. Good Luck 🥰
Really enjoyed this video thank u. What I love about videos like this is watching someone do the practical things that sometimes I am unsure of or struggle with. So thank u this is really helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much x
This is brilliant! You have truly held our hands all the way through. You haven't presumed we know everything. I love your chats. You have a beautiful, clear voice with a good pace. I feel at ease listening to you. You're a natural teacher. Thankyou so much. Eunice, Inverloch, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
Wow, thank you! That is so incredibly kind of you 🥰
Great job Angela. The prior positive comments say it all. For sew-a-longs I like to see fitting and adjustments and a fun attitude which I might add you definitely have. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much 😊. aaaah you are very kind. Yes I did wonder about including some fitting details in the future - so that's great to know you would like to see that.
Thank you so much again 🥰
Nicely done! The shorter sleeves were a good idea. Add a wide brimmed light colored straw hat and a straw tote and off you go! Thank you for a very nice "sew along".
He he he - I can just imagine that too now 😂Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you so much for this sew a long. I must admit I didn't really think the Indigo dress was for me but watching you make it has changed my mind. It looks lovely on you and any other sew a longs would be great. Thank you x
You are so welcome! I really hope you have a go at it and enjoy it.
Thank you 🥰 xxx
Hello Angela, I have had this Tilly & her Buttons pattern now for two years and have been too frightened to actually open it. Today I finally cut out some fabric. I did that a bit wrong and didn't quite have enough and nearly chucked the whole lot into the bin. However, this evening I found your sew along video and I may not give up. I will follow your channel. I would like to make a swimming costume one day.
Well done for biting the bullet and opening the pattern! It's good that you didn't give up, and I'm glad the video was helpful! Thank you for following 🥰 sewing can be so frustrating at times, but it's always worth it in the end, and it's okay to make mistakes! ❤️
Truly enjoyed the step by step sew along. Dress looks great, fun & flowy for warm weather. The 3/4 sleeve is the perfect choice. Looking forward to the next sew along.
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Well done on your first sew along Angela! Great detail with lots of tips 😊 don’t apologise if it takes a few days as that’s genuinely how long sewing takes! Dress looks fab on you 👍 xx
Thank you so much - and thank you so much for watching too 🥰
Hi, I really enjoyed the whole video from start to finish, the one thing I would be interested in would be watching how you go about making the paper pattern pieces from the original pattern pieces so that you dont actually have to cut into the originals, if you get my gist. I know that people make their own paper pieces to save the originals but have never done it myself, so that would be great to see, thanks for the video...
Aaahh - ok, so I either print the pdf's so I csn literally cut them, and re print if needed. However, if I have a paper pattern, I use tracing paper and either that you buy on the roll or Burda pattern paper. Hope that helps 🥰
Thank you from Chicago. I am new to garment sewing, only knits for about 2 years & very excited to try woven patterns. Just ordered this pattern (first Tilly one), then found your excellent sew along, So many great tips! I’d love to see a sewalong for the Tilly Romy & any other patterns you want to do. Thank you again, so happy to have found you & your channel. 🙂
Ooooh wow - that's so fabulous - thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and hope you enjoy sewing it too 🥰
I will definitely be doing more sewalongs 😊
I’ve really enjoyed this sew a long. I’ve picked up so many tips already, so thank you. I think you’ve got the format pretty spot on. X
That is so kind of you. Thank you so much 🥰
I primarily watch sew-alongs to see if I can pick up any tips. I've been sewing since I was 7 years old (mid- 1970s) when I received a "Kids" sewing machine for Christmas.
I also appreciate when we are told the measurements of the person sewing the garment. It is helpful to see how the pattern fits.
From your sew-along, I will take away the putting interfacing on pocket edges to keep them nice and crisp. I have done this for years when putting a zipper in, (I've never been a fan of the invisible zipper) but it never occured to me to do the same for a pocket! Thank you for that!
P.S. Your daughters made to right call about the flounce and the waist tie placement.
Thank you so much for letting me know what you like about sew alongs - it is so helpful to know so that I can try to include it in future ones 😊
Ha ha - yes - the girls are my little fashion guru's!!!
Thank you so much 🥰
Loved this video. I enjoy you describing the various elements of the sewing pattern, as I sometimes don’t understand what the pattern is telling me to do. More please. Thank you.
Hia - sorry for the late reply. So glad you have found it helpful. Thank you 🥰
I really love your channel and this video. I have left my dressmaking and have concentrated on my quilt making and knitting over the last I don't know how many years. I used to make everything for myself, two girls and then sewed for my five grandchildren too. However, I have a new great grand daughter and have started making dresses and rompers for her. Watching this has prompted me to make something for myself again. I am going to make the Indigo dress exactly as you have - the tie and sleeves make it for me. So I will let you know how it goes. Off to search for some fabric now the shops have opened up again. Thanks for your calmness, great instruction and encouragement.
How wonderful that you've been able to make things for all your family like that. They are very lucky 😊. I've never quite got into quilt making, but I see what others make and it looks so beautiful ❤️
I'm so happy you're going to make something for yourself. I really hope you enjoy doing so, and love the dress too 😊 Enjoy fabric shopping too 🥰
Hi I am really enjoying watching you put this dress together. You are giving lots of information on how to construct the actual garment. As a beginner this is very helpful for me. Really enjoyed this Vlog. Xxx
I'm so pleased you are finding it helpful... Thank you 🥰
I like watching how each individual step is done as well as any special techniques, and the chatter while they are doing it. That way I can learn how things are done, but if I already know that, it will still be fun to watch because of the chatter. Some only have the sewing, which is great when you want to know the techniques and steps, but I don't bother watching them if I don't need to know that at the moment or aren't making that pattern. If they make it interesting by chatting while they are doing it, I watch even if what they are sewing isn't important to me at the moment.
That being said, i dont like so much chatter that the person forgets to say what they are doing and why. The way you did it was perfect. Any sidetracked chatter could be added when nothing important in the sewing is going on, like while pinning, cutting out, or straight stitching long seams, or at a pause between steps.
He he he - I totally know where you are coming from. Thank you 😂🥰
That's really helpful to know, thank you so much for taking the time to let mw know 🥰
I am just starting my Indigo dress after watching your video again! I'll be checking back constantly. Thank you for making it straightforward.
That's so great - good luck I really hope it all goes well ❤
@@DevonThreadTales I'll let you know!
Lovely finished product. With your frame I think you look best in more body con styles. However every one needs a preatty comfy dress to swish in and yours is lovely.
Thank you so much - I have to say the style is going to take some getting used too - as I am much more of a body con kind of girl! However - It is going to be such a comfy and lightweight dress for the summer 😂Thank you so much 🥰
This was so helpful! As someone who is still learning basic garment construction techniques, it is great to hear your thought process throughout. The dress looks great on you! It looks like a good winter look with tights or a spring dress. The music also had me dancing 😄
Would love to see more of these in the future with different types of garments and different pattern companies.
Ahhh that is so brilliant, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. That's really all I want to achieve out of the video, for some time to be shared and for everyone to enjoy it 🥰
I'll definitely be doing more of these in the future.
Thank you so much again 🥰
Thanks for this sewalong Angela, I think you made it very clear and easy to follow as well as showing your warm personality. I would agree with you that sizing is one of the most difficult aspects when planning a make and I always like to know people’s measurements and what size they made, any grading etc to help me..... have made a few tents in the four years that I’ve been sewing! I’ve had the Indigo pattern a while but wasn’t sure it was for me - possibly another tent and too old for frills - but yours looks so good with the ties you have inspired me to have a go. I like the way you did it over a few days - that’s real life!
Aaaah that's great to hear your feedback - thank you 🥰
He he he - I think we've all made a few tents in times gone by 😂. Sizing can be the hardest part.
I hope that you have a go at the Indigo - and I hope you enjoy sewing it, and love wearing it.
Ooooh my goodness - definitely real life 🙈. All the best laid plans in the world, and I still can't just sew something up in a day 😂
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you showed the tie turner. I found one in my stash that someone had given to me and didnt know what it was. I also like seeing the problems you had with it. It shows how to fix it, and we get to see that we aren't the only ones who have things go wrong.
Aaaah that is so fantastic, I'm glad that you know what it is now. He he he - I know I think it's important to know that things don't always go to plan! We are just human after all 😊
Brilliant first sew along Angela keeping to the original but adding techniques that elevate the garment to hand made rather than home made. As we start we all want as professional finish as we can - great standards- thankyou
Aaaaah thank you so much - that is so so kind of you to say. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it 🥰
I was so pleased to find this! I recently bought this pattern, I'm fairly new to sewing, so when I looked through the pattern I found it a little confusing....not anymore! Detailed and well explained video, thank you.
Hia - sorry for the late reply. So glad that you have found it useful . Thank you 🥰
And to answer your question, I usually watch sew alongs to get information. For the Indigo, I was interested in seeing how you gathered the shirt into the bodice, and to see if you made any pattern adjustments. I’m enjoyed your video-you have a lovely voice and have clear descriptions of every step.
That's so very kind of you - thank you so much. I'm so pleased you have enjoyed it, and found it helpful ❤
Great sew along. I would really like to see you make a knit dress, showing choosing the fabric, cutting it out and, of course, sewing it. I haven't sewn a lot of knits and would like to get some tips before starting a new pattern. Thanks!
Thank you so much 🥰 My next sew along is going to be a knit garment - so that's great. I hope that you enjoy it ❤️
I'm very sorry for the loss of your dad. I know only too well what losing your parents feel like. I am so glad you are back, I was concerned about you. At least when you sew you can't think about anything else. Look forward to your next post.
Hello, thank you so much for a lovely message, and of concern too. I am afraid that you may have put a message on the wrong vlog, as this doesn't seem to be for me. I did watch Stitchy bee today - and think maybe it was meant for her. 🥰
Loved this sew along! Loved that it was sewn over a few days, because that’s real life. Loved that you zoomed into the machine to show the trickier parts and I think the dress looks absolutely gorgeous on you and you should definitely wear it loads. Thanks so much for a great sew along!
Thank you so much 🥰 It certainly is real life! ha ha, I am struggling to find long pockets of time to do anything at the mo 😂. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it ❤️
I am so glad you took the plunge and did your first sewalong! The fabric is adorable and the dress looks lovely on you. I share your initial reservations about this pattern, I don't think it's for me, but who knows, one day I may change my mind... Thanks for sharing. I look forward to watching future sewalongs 😊
Thank you so much! He he he - yes I think it is one of those marmite patterns!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you again 🥰
Really enjoyed this Angela, you are a natural teacher. Loved all the extra helpful tips you included and your attention to detail when explaining them. I made this dress last month but didn’t feel ready to include the pockets but now having watched you explain how to do them I will give them ago. Your comment about too much fabric made me laugh as I too thought that and shortened my sleeves and dress length at the end. Personally I thought it was easier to see you and what you were doing with the blind closed although it was lovely to see sunshine. I’m sure this was a lot of work for you but the end result was excellent and I’m sure will be helpful to and enjoyed by many. Looking forward to when you have time to do another sew along 🧵 in the future. Thank you! X
PS I thought the background music was great, not too intrusive and was uplifting 🌺🍀
Thank you so much 🥰. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Ha ha isn't that funny, I just think for me with the long sleeves it was a bit overwhelming. Great minds think alike 😂
Yes I totally agree, when I watched it back when editing, the blind being closed made a big difference. I will make sure to keep that in mind for next time. Thank you 😊. Thank you again for your really lovely comments, and encouragement, it really means a lot ❤️
I’ve so enjoyed this video and you are a very good teacher. The dress looks amazing on you.
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you 🥰
Great first sew along Angela- thank you
I enjoy sew alongs to see new techniques and possibly patterns that I’ve had a hankering to try
The dress is lovely on you and I agree with the no flounces decision(that’s possibly because I’m 5’ 10” and look silly with flounces though!!). 🤓🏴
Thank you so much - really glad you enjoyed watching it. Yeah - I just don't think I'm a flouncey person 🙈😂🥰❤️
Thank you Angela really enjoyed watching your sew along (I think did really well!) I don’t have anyone who enjoys sewing so watching videos while I sew is good company.
Thank you so much! It is lovely to watch others sewing when you are doing some yourself - I like to do that too! I think a lot of people find the same, that they don't have friends that also sew, so this is a good way to have a bit of company.
Thank you so much again 🥰
Very enjoyable sew along, you’re a natural at this 😁 love your new dress. It looks amazing on you.💖
Thank you so much 🥰
This has been very helpful. I particularly like your tip for gathering. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for this sew along. I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful. As a beginner, it helps to see techniques done all the way through. Sometimes, the instructions and a picture aren't enough. Also loved your tips and tricks along the way and plan to use some. I'd love to see more sew alongs. Perhaps a shirt, since collars, cuffs, and button plackets are intimidating for someone new to garment making. I particularly like to see what goes into choosing the right size to make. Lizzie B has two great videos I've watched on fitting and choosing the right size to sew. I'd definitely recommend you check them out. Cheers!
Aaaah yes - I just watched Lizzi B's video - it was fab wasn't it. Really really helpful. I plan to do a shirt as part of my make nine, so I will have a think about doing that as a sew along too. I do have a mans shirt already filmed and ready to go, I just need to finish it off, so I will try to get that done soon too 😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful, thank you so much 🥰
Devon - this was a great sew along and I too appreicated the zoom in's when and where necessary.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ So glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I have so enjoyed your sew along. You explain everything so well, and several tips too. Do wear the dress, it looks lovely on you. That fabric is gorgeous.
Thank you so much - I'm so pleased that you have enjoyed it. 🥰
I know you said this dress wasn’t necessarily your style, but seriously you look adorable in it. I forgot I have this pattern and I went straight to my stash and am getting ready to trace the pattern right now. I only hope it looks half as good on me as it looks on you. Thank you so so much for your fabulous tutorials.
Aaaah thank you so much - that's so kind for you. Good luck with yours, I'm sure it's going to look great. Thank you again 🥰
This looks really lovely on you and you really suit blue. It will be lovely in the summer and looks especially nice with pumps for that perfect summer cool look. I know you have said in a previous video that you tend to avoid blue because of your school uniform being blue, but it really is your colour. Enjoyed this video and like you it is good to get a idea of sizing that others make. I also like to see any tips like the one you did by stitching in the ditch for the shoulder facing. I have never heard of this and really it makes a lot of sense and will be doing it in the future. Plus I like listening to you chatting about sewing and find it relaxing. xx
By the way when you tried the top part on without sleeves, it really suited you with no sleeves.
Thank you so much - I agree, I think this will be perfect in the summer, lovely and cool!
Thank you - I really do avoid royal blue normally for this reason, but I am getting more used to it, and I actually think I love it a bit more now 😂
I'm so glad you found it helpful and relaxing. That's really what I want these sew alongs to be, informative and friendly! 😊
He he - I think a no sleeve version would be nice.
Thank you so much again 🥰
It is all of the above for me. Enjoyed the sew along. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much - so glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Hi Angela. I’ve just found you on RUclips and loved this sew along. I’ve made the indigo twice and although I love the looser style I will definitely add waist ties next time. I love watching sew alongs, especially if it’s with a pattern I am thinking of sewing. I also love hearing how other sewers make changes to the pattern. Really great video. Can’t wait to watch more 😊
Thank you so much - that is so kind of you 🥰 and I'm so pleased that you have enjoyed it and found it helpful ❤️
Loved this! A great sew along and loved your stitching line for the hem, I'm going to adopt that. The dress is stunning on you x
Hia Cara - yes do - It makes hemming so much easier. Really glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Great sew along, really good with some helpful hints and tips, well done. Dress looks super on you and love the fabric choice.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it 🥰
Hi Angela loved this video. You have a real flair for teaching sewing would loved to see you on TV on Sewing Street. A long way for you to travel though but you would be great. Look forward to your next video. Keep safe. X
Thank you so much - I so pleased you enjoyed it. That made me giggle, I don't think I would be quite brave enough for that 😂
Thank you so much again 🥰
Brilliant sew along. I really appreciated the close up, clear and detailed explanations of each step. The close up camera shots were really good and clear. It was very helpful, thank you Angela. X
Aaaah that's so great - I'm so pleased that you found this helpful.
Thank you so much 🥰
I did enjoy watching your sew along. I watch sew alongs because I always learn new techniques from them. I love the fabric you used for this dress. I thought you might have shown the fabric content and where you purchased it in your notes. Something to consider for your next sew along. Thank you for being brave and filming this video. Keep up the good work. We will all benefit from your efforts.
Thank you so much 🥰. Aaahhh yes - that's a really good point. I didn't think about that. I will make sure I include that in the future, but I will at some point today go back and add that to this video's description too - that's really helpful, thank you 😊
Thank you I’ve just brought this pattern today and watching your video has given me more confidence to try and make it. Your instructions are clear and helpful.
Wonderful! That's so great - Thank you so much! 🥰
Great job Angela on your first recorded sew-a-long; I appreciate all the time and effort you put into it. Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much! I have to say this was the hardest of the videos I've ever put together 😂
Have a lovely weekend too - and thank you again 🥰
Well done Angela on completing your first sewalong which was very informative. 🧶🌈🍓
Thank you 😊❤️❤️
Great sew along, beautiful make. Thank You for sharing plus all of the great tips. 🙌🏻❤️💙💜
Thank you so much 🥰 so glad it was helpful 😊
Thanks for sharing your making process - I appreciate the chat and the "this is how I do this" and "that is how I do that" part of the video, as well as explaining why you make the choices you do. I like how you share the reality of sewing when there is time and light and balancing life stuff. I love the choice of fabric for the dress and how it looks on you!
Thank you so much for your really kind and lovely comments - that is so kind of you. I also really appreciate you letting me know what you enjoy from a sew along - as that really helps with how I will do them in the future.
Thank you again 🥰
Really useful sew along thank you. Loved the hints and tips and honestly as someone new to it the construction side is already helping my brain understand some of the patterns I've attempted but got stuck on. Michelle @SewingBunny usually starts hers with a chat about what size she'll be making and I find that useful for the decision making process. You've done a great job and I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Michelle's sew alongs are so fabulous, and so informative aren't they.
Thank you so much 🥰
Loved your first sew along. Great effort! And dress looks nice and color looks good on you! Hope to see more see alongs from you. Thanks
Thank you! 😊. That's so great - I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you so much 🥰
I like to see the construction of garments as there may be something I haven't come across before as I haven't made many items. I have this pattern and I have been procrastinating about it but now feel I can manage it easily. thank you.
That's so great - so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you x
You did a good job explaining everything and the dress looks so cute on you. Hope you will wear and enjoy your finished dress.
Thank you so much - that is so kind of you 🥰
Absolutely love your Indigo Angela!! It looks fab on you and the fabric really suits you! I hope you are pleased with it now that it is done :) x x x
Aaaah thank you so much Holly. I do love it, but it's going to take a bit of getting used to as it's such a different style to me 😂. Thank you so much 🥰
I really enjoyed watching your video and learned such a lot. The dress looks lovely on you, well done and thank you 😊
Thank you so much - I'm so pleased you've enjoyed it 🥰
Hi Angela, great tutorial and fabulous dress... I think it looks lovely on you actually 👌💝. Such beautiful fabric too 😍. I love watching the sew along but I also love the nattering myself 😋. Really enjoyed watching 😁👍😘
Thanks so much 😊. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it - I just want my video's to be a little happy place for people! 😂. Thank you 🥰
That dress turned out really cute and looks great on you. I do love to sew myself and I enjoy watching videos where actual sewing is shown instead of just talking about sewing. I always seem to learn something new and I’m not young anymore. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you so much That's really kind of you. That's so great - I'm really pleased you enjoy sew alongs - thanks for letting me know what you enjoy from them 🥰
Thank you for doing this. Im now looking forward to making my Indigo dress and will use your tip of zig zagging along strong thread for gathers x
Good luck with the dress! 🥰
Well done with your first sew -a -long. I thought you gave useful tips and demonstrated it well. I really watched this because I made the Indigo a while ago but have never worn it. I’m not sure why really but think it overwhelms me! I have the long sleeves and the frill, and waist ties, which I think could be thinner seeing yours,so have been tempted to cut the sleeves shorter and maybe take the frill off as like you think it might be just too much fabric. Thank you 😁
Hia Rust - thank you so much, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it. It's a unique style isn't it, and I think if you're not used to wearing that style (as I am not) it can take a bit of getting used to. Why not try on your dress, and pin the frill out of the way etc, see what you feel about it then. Take some photo's of yourself as it is, and more when you pin it up. That way you can look at yourself properly in a picture. Or better still f you have someone at home, possibly ask them to film you doing a twirl in each?!?!?
I hope that helps - and thank you so much again 🥰
This is such a good sew along, I love the explanations! It’s really helpful
Thank you so much 🥰
I LOVE IT!!
Thank you so much 🥰
Hi! Beautiful dress, love it without the frills !
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 🥰
Gorgeous fabric. Looks like Liberty supernova
Ooohh yes now you mention it, it does a bit 😊. Thank you ❤️
Karen from sew little time has introduced me to your channel and this is such a helpful video. I think I will have a go at this dress. Many thanks.
Aaaah that's great - Karen is so lovely. You are more than welcome, thank you 🥰
Love it!
Thank you 😊
Thanks Angela, this was so helpful and informative x
Thank you so much - really glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Great job Angela. I have just made this version and feel the same but I think it really suits you. It is very on -trend. Go with it. Looks good with tights and pumps. Sew alongs are always informative for instance never seen your way of gathering before I shall try this out for definite. I thought you were a natural. Don’t worry about.hiccups because we don’t notice them. Well done look forward to your next one. Xxx
Thank you so much. Aaaah I hope you do end up loving yours. I am super pleased with how it came out, but it is going to take a bit of getting used to this new style for me!
Thank you so much for your really lovely and kind comments 🥰
Thank you so much. This is an excellent tutorial and the dress looks lovely on you. 😀
Thank you! 😊 That's so kind of you 🥰
Really lovely this see along. Thanks so much for all the tips. I look forward to future episode, this has really been so helpful.
Thank you so much 🥰 So glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful 😊
How fun to see you sew an inspire other sewists! Well done - it looks great on you.
Thank you! 😊. That's so so kind of you 🥰
Wow,what a brilliant sew along! I will definitely be watching this when I make one. Thank you Angela! X
Hey lovely lady 🥰. Hope you're ok. Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you that was great! So many tips and tricks. The dress looks beautiful.
Thank you 🥰
Just came across your channel, really great see along Angela, the dress looks good on you, I love the colour and the fabric too. I will be watching your sew along again when I'm ready to make this dress / top as I ordered the pattern yesterday ( Saturday) !! Thank for sharing it with us all. ✂️🧵😊💕
Aahh that’s so great, so pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you so much 😊 🥰
Loved your sew along!
Thank you so much 🥰
Great sew along so real xx
Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you Angela - I really can't believe my luck lately. I had decided to sew a Nina Lee Carnaby dress for my daughter for Christmas, and found that Sew little time had done a sew along that really helped. I've had the Indigo pattern for quite a while (for myself), but had ummed and arred over the style and the size to do. I made a toille at the beginning of this week (used an old piece of needle cord that really didn't work well), but did inform me that I needed to size down. Lost heart with it, then I saw your sew along, and bam! Totally inspired again. Your sew along was absolutely just the right amount of everything with some really helpful tips and tricks. Your dress looks absolutely lovely, fabric is just perfect. So thank you so much again. Looking forwards to the next Vlog. Not meaning to nag, but if you were to do another sew along at anytime do you think it could maybe include the little notch trick that you use for overlocking in the round. Hugs from East Sussex. xxx
Aaahhh isn't that so great, and Karen and her channel are so lovely too.
I'm so pleased that you feel inspired to give it a go again - definitely go with something a little lighter - it will look completely different 😊
He he he - I've been asked that quite a bit, so I will be doing a knit garment this month, and including that in - promise 🥰
@@DevonThreadTales Thank you. I went ahead and made another toille in a cotton lawn that I had in a weird kind of Aztec fabric that I can't even remember where and when I got it. I wasn't super keen on the fabric so wasn't too worried about messing up, I'm soooo happy with the dress, I love it. My super trendy and fussy daughter said that the fabric (she kind of shares my stash) looked a bit rubbish as fabric, but is really lovely made up. I can't thank you enough for giving me the inspiration. I was going to make another in some lovely viscose that I had for Christmas, but I think I'm up for more of a challenge now - onwards and upwards. Just want to add that your Vlog is so upbeat and inspiring - I'm a fanatical knitter, so also love to see ?Amy's knits oh and your's too. x
@@mariareina1423 oooh my goodness that is so fantastic, thank you so much for letting me know, I live that so much! 💕💕💕 X
This was great, thanks so much. I love to see garment construction, I like to learn by watching. I have a lot of fitting issues, so I also like
to know body measurements and size chosen.
You are so welcome! And thank you for letting me know what you like from a sew along - that's really helpful.
Thank you 🥰
Great sew along and looking forward to seeing more - great vlog - you are very tidy when you sew 🧵
Thanks so much! 😊 Really glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Love the dress and you look great in it!
Thank you so much 🥰
Pear and Penguin gave me a great tip, measure from shoulder to bust apex and measure against pattern. I have to raise mine every time
Aaaah that's such a great Tip - Claire is great isn't she - her channel is fab. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Learnt that from karinas lifting pins and needles’ channel. I have to lower mine every time.
Thanks for the sew along! It was fun and I learned a couple of things!👍👍
That's so great, Thank you so much 🥰
loved this well done
Thank you so much! 🥰
Your dress looks Gorgeous!!! Very well made!!! I love it!!!
Thank you so much, that's so kind of you 😊❤️❤️
Angela loved this sew-along. The dress and the fabric choice looks fab on you well done!🧡
Thank you so much 🥰
The dress is fabulous too and suits you so well
Thank you so much 🥰
Brilliant,loved this.The dress is lovely and you really don’t need all the frills,it looks more grown up without them.Thank you for this,I have had the pattern for ages but have hesitated to sew it ,similar to the Wilder dress I thought it could look like a nightgown.I will sew one and follow your example and keep it simple.🌹
Thank you so much - really glad you enjoyed it. I'm so pleased that you feel like that - I just don't feel really comfortable with all the frills, and I sometimes worry that I'm being a bit boring! Sometimes simple really is just lovely and classic. Good luck with your sew - and thank you 🥰
It’s so funny- but after reading the comment about adding frills-I so agree that simple and classic can work best sometimes-especially with that style dress! Although I’m rather feminine (a ruffle and lace girl) in my home decor style -I tend to be more classic in my clothing style. I like to soften or expose my feminine side in dress by color and fabric choice -not necessarily style choice. I love to use color, pattern, and texture to reveal interest rather than lots of structure . I’ve always admired the Japanese and Swedish styles for this reason-tell the story simply and add visual interest in fabric choices and maybe add a few charming trims! It makes for simple, quick, and comfortable sewing and hides a multitude of sin! Just wanted to share my thoughts!❤️🧵✂️
Love the sew along I had this pattern from my daughter for Christmas looking forward to making it later this week x
Wonderful! Good luck with it - hope you enjoy it.
Thank you so much 🥰
Yaaay Angela, that was great 👏 I really enjoyed it. This is very much the sort of sew along I like. You talked us through the instructions and added your own tips which was very helpful. I enjoyed your witty asides and I also liked the fact that it took 3 days because many of us, like you, have other domestic/work commitment, so you showed just what can be done in the time available. I didn’t notice any problems with lighting either, I think the whole shoot was very clear. My style is similar to yours and I bought this pattern in a moment of over enthusiasm as I’d seen so many lovely versions. Since then it has remained untouched 😆. Your sew along has convinced me it’s definitely worth a go. It suits you Angela and the sleeves and length look good. Im looking forward to hearing what you think after you’ve worn it a few times x
Thank you so much 🥰. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I was disappointed at first to not get this done in one go - but the reality is, I can't find that amount of time - and a few people seem to have also appreciated that I had to do it over a few days too 😊. I guess that's life 😂
I'm so glad you're going to have a go at the pattern. I still am trying to debate with myself over the style, but I do think that in the summer it will be lovely and cool to wear!
Thank you so much again 🥰
Well done on a brilliant first sewalong Angela! Loads of detail and you got great close-ups of the actual sewing which is super helful. You explain all of the steps really well too and the finished dress is gorgeous on you. I LOVE the music and kept wishing there was a 'hunk' from 'Strictly' in the room wanting to swirl me around!! Bring on more sewalongs! x
Hey lovely 😊 Thank you so much, I'm so pleased you liked it. Sorry there wasn't a hunk to swirl you around 😂😂 love it!!! Made me giggle! 🥰
Loved this your sew alongs are one of the best I have seen!!! 😘👌 keep them coming!! Xx
Thank you so much! That is so kind of you
The finished dress looks lovely on you!
Thank you so much 🥰
Thanks, Angela! I love to hear about fitting, fabric choices, techniques...and, of course, chat! 😍
Thank you so much - that's really helpful thank you 🥰
