The scissors sound and look really good!!!
This is truly so helpful..not much in the stores to choose from. The clothes are hideous so I am going to make my own. As luck would have it, I have a tennis dress that would serve well for the pattern. Thanks ever so much!!!
Many years ago, a friend asked if I could make her a dress from one she enjoyed wearing. My young age must have given me courage - so I took on the challenge.
I used newspaper with her dress as a pattern.
No one was more surprised than I at how beautiful her 2 new dresses turned out.
So, I say, take a small dress of a child or one of yours that you like - and give it a try. Worse case scenario is that you've lost a bit of newspaper (you can try on newspaper pattern) or inexpensive muslin.
This is so helpful! Plus you have the cutest accents and use the awesomest words. Jazzy and wobbly are my favorites :)
Those scissors sound so nice and sharp... I have scissors envy.

The instructions were very clear and very helpfull. I liked this video very much, no stupid music in back ground and no waffle or posing they just got on with the instructions. Hope you will make loads more please.
I find American videos are the worst (I'm American!) as the video starts out with wasted minutes of posing, chit chat, & at the very end of the video there are the instructions, which take up a mere fraction of the entire video. I usually fast forward any video that shows hands waving round gesticulating, I keep pushing fwd til it gets to the meat and potatoes. British made videos for some reason are less of a time waster. Maybe Britons are less "movie star"? I don't know.
I like it.
I'm a rank beginner, and seeing how it's done is very helpful. I don't like using patterns, I'm one who learns much better from seeing and doing. Thank you for this vid.

Hemmings and Taylor. What appropriate last names for seamstresses :p
So far, I'm finding it easy to follow. Thank you so much
If you're busty, try cutting a curve outwards at the bust area. The extra fabrics will stretch to your bust
I love you. Thanks!!! Happy 2022!!!
use a Tee Shirt and lengthen it to the desired length.

This is Great without using a Pattern. I am going to try this. I have a summer dress very similar to the one you used. Thanks.
Thats a Really Good one! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video. :-)
This is helpful to me..thanks for sharing...
This video so helpful. Thanks for upload it.
Cut the back piece at first and use it as a pattern for the front piece. Cut more fabric to under the arms and after bust area take extra off bit by bit when you´ll return to the original pattern.
Nice video. Lovely material too! Thanks.

Nice illustration
Can't wait to have a go :-)
Thanks .u made it so easy
When cutting out the front lower neck hole and deeper arm holes, it's easier if you just fold the top piece in half and cut both arm holes out at the same time, and both sides of the neck hole which will also guarantee symmetry and take half the time :)
Thank You.
I would have taken the front part of the dress and folded it in half in order to cut the front neckline a bit lower and be shure that it is even on both side and the same for the arm openings. Freehand butting is always a bit delicate cause our eyes can misjudge distances and measurements. The folding of the front part in half will ensure that each side is evenly cut.
@@MrMelodySai Spamming videos isn't a great way to market yourself.
@@mamamayhem7125 ok I will not do
@@mamamayhem7125 means my videos are not nice
@@mamamayhem7125 first thing my videos are not spamming ok
@@MrMelodySai No, it means your commenting the exact same thing under multiple threads piggy backing off of other people's content. I havent watched your videos to know if they're nice or not. Take care, have a good one.
Thanks u very helpful
so brilliant the cutting of front neckline and the front armhole ,nice idea, thanks,
Hemings and Taylor? 😄sew apt!
This is how i was taught to sew. Patterns i find more difficult. The only thing i do is that i fold the dress that im copying from and fold the material twice so there are 4 layers and then cut like that, its much simpilar that way. no chalks neccesay and no fiddling about with the fabric. and then i take one layer away and the other layer which is the front bit, i fold in half again and cut the arm holes and the neck. no fiddling about that way. she keeps unfolding and refolding, urgh.
@DaintyDoll95 Use an t-shirt or a top, continue it as long as you want it to be + hem allowence. Remember to draw it evenly wider from waist down. You´ll need room for your hips!
Thank you
When cutting out the deeper neck hole and arm holes, you should fold the front piece in half down the center and then cut them out. Then you will have perfect symmetry. It also would have gone much faster if she would have folded her dress in half, and laid it on a fold on the fabric and cut it out that way. Half the work, half the time.
This is great,not many sewing courses,groups or schools where I live,would love some tutorials I have a sewing machine any offers Cambs area?
nice video
You can use well fitted t-shirt or camisole and make the rest of lenght wider.
Measure your hips and add at least an inch+ seams
(or it will be too tight) to each side.
WOW, thanks for that info Suvikki74 I will write that down new seamstress/sewing novice here.
Nice one but it would be visually clearer if next time remove the waste material so we are not seeing it next to the dress.

I'm unable to find part 2 ahh! I need to be able to finish-Help!
Actually, an old dress IS a pattern,
If I had a nickel for every "no pattern" tutorial that starts with "take an old [whatever you're making] that fits you well"....I'd have enough money to buy instead of making my own. If I had one that already fit me well, I wouldn't be needing to sew one!

Great
no pattern? isn't using the dress using a pattern? just cloth and not paper. it's fine if you have one..but if you were looking for a no pattern tutorial as the title suggested...it doesn't help at all
if you cut the neckline bigger in front and back you will be able to wear it both ways around.
What about if your busty and the front of the dress needs to be bigger than the back?
Fold in 4 fold of fabric and then cut it out easy simple same cuttings all side
good
what about some1 who doesnt have another dress to trace
use a t-shirt and just extend the length. Otherwise, you can get a dress pretty cheaply ($6 or so) at a thrift store.
@@Nikatronixx Not everyone has a thrift store nearby or even $6 to waste on something. Also the point of using a dress not a t-shirt is that t-shirts don't have shape. So. Meh.
@@MajClanger I appreciate your critique. My comment was just a suggestion. If someone doesn't have $6 dollars and/or doesn't want to use a t-shirt thats fine, they would just ignore my comment and move on. I really don't see the point of negating a suggestion that could be helpful to some. I have actually made plenty of dresses using t-shirts that fit me well and they turn out just fine :)
Hi, where in the uk can I buy this lovely cotton jersy fabric?
pollito pio
@mrsotter19 just try getting a few yards to begin with. If that isn't enough, you'll need to buy more. If it's too much, you can use it for other things. :)
What kind the is that?
@emilyhale27 Draw and cut a back piece of a single fabric and then add more seam allowence to the sides as much as your busom needs for front piece and discrease it until it´s same wide as back piece, draw and cut.also of a single fabric (remember seam allowence) . Then sew as showed. Should come out ok.
This is asmr
What if you dont have a dress to copy from???
thumbs up if your watching this in 2011!!!
I suppose then you'll need to get a pattern
@abiolamay shes english it doesnt always come out with the accent
Hello
@DaintyDoll95 use a tank-top and a skirt
good demo, but so wasteful with the fabric
if any one realy like crafts video then pls subscribe me and watch my videos pls
@dunodem brieea Its for the people in the USA, called ( H.R. 2196) Also known as the Design Piracy Prohibition Act. People are tired of their designs being copied so their trying to pass this law in the United States to prohibit it. this means we canot make a ruffle skirt or a basic t-shirt for an example because it will already be patent/licensed by another designer, giving the owner of the licesned design to sue however copies their designs,shirt,pants,art etc. ) :
Why cut that tiny piece off of the front armhole?
Misleading title - you used another dress as the pattern.
You’re too pedantic.
Wouldn't the dress be a pattern?
Woooow cutting free hand, it's not ease.
Why does it have to be stretchy fabric. Some of us don't use or wear stretchy anything. Cotton is king.

☺ i am an old woman & i have made many shift dresses similar to the way its done in this video.
- if u use stretchy fabric, u can make the dress fit tighter, more form fitting, w/o using a zipper or button.
But sewing knit fabric is really um, friggy, i cant do it.
-also, i would only use a woven fabric garment to use as a pattern.
☺ Good Luck with ur shift hun 😉
kurti patterns r good for woven cotton fabric,
by kurti i mean those beautiful tunic/dresses indian & pakistani women wear over pants.
there r a ton of D.I.Y. vids on youtube for them.
again BEST WISHES ☺
Cutting the fabric is the most important part of dress making not the sewing part.
Thank you for that c0cooned I've heard other channels mention that so it's good to remember or know, fabric and time are expensive.
ist line..."it has no darts"... I'm out.
I cannot sew with patterns, I'm awful!!
I admire anyone who can present something in front of a camera so making an adverse comment makes me feel rather uncomfortable. I feel compelled to say that this video was a tad on the dreary side and barely kept awake to see it through to the end.....yawn! lol
ladies,you got to step it up a bit.lets have some fun making this dress.your too boring..lighten the mood, please!
I don't know about you, but I didn't come here for entertainment. I am grateful everytime I find a tutorial that has no hipe, no discordant music. and the focus is on the instruction. Thank you for a good tutorial.
Can you talk any faster?
so i thought my daughter could do this. But it's not "no pattern" at all, it's "use a dress you already have" so... meh. Have a thumbs down.
