Great choices, I've made the day dress, but have just ordered the Indigo,as I felt like I was the only person who hadn't made one... And think the oversized nature had put me off, but adding the waist ties will sort out that issue, but the Darling Ranges pattern looks great, another one to add to the list 😳😁. I love your fabric choices too... Especially the red double gauze and the ice cream day dress. Very useful inspo. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼👌🏼
Thank you for watching 😊 I hope you enjoy sewing the Indigo, I wasn’t sure about it initially but I really like it now. Hope you enjoy the darling ranges if you get that one too 😀👌
I love making woven clothing for the same reasons. I know this sounds crazy but I love inserting zippers by hand. It looks beautiful and special. Additionally, wovens just look more sophisticated. Lovely makes!
Collette Aileen Mattingly I do enjoy the hand sewing opportunities when making dresses. Now I’m intrigued. Do you hand sew zippers in such a way as to be invisible. Thanks!
@@Bonbon53539 I usually do a lapped installation which does hide the zipper. Though I do like the look of zippers especially shiny metal ones so those I'll leave exposed. Which I choose depends on the style of the garment. The stitch on the lapped zipper is intentionally visible on the exterior of the garment as little "dots" down the side of the zipper. I work to get the spacing on the stitches just right so they are a design feature. I learned this technique from Susan Khalje. It was a revelation.
Thanks so much for watching, inserting zippers by hand sounds amazing, I think slow sewing and taking time over techniques and finishes can be so satisfying and so mindful too 😊
Lovely dresses - they all look great on you. I really enjoyed your description of each pattern too. You seem so much more relaxed and chilled out now than earlier this year when I first started watching. This vlog was an absolute delight to watch.
Loved seeing all you versions of each pattern - I think you might like the Fancy Tiger Crafts Fen dress & top pattern - similar vibe to the dress patterns you showed and it’s a pattern with several variations. I’ve made it multiple times in all sorts of fabrics. Definitely one to size down if you prefer a more fitted silhouette - I make one size smaller than my measurements and it’s perfect. First of your vlogs I’ve seen - I feel a binge watch coming on!
Thanks so much for watching 😊 thank you I’ll check out the Fen pattern, I haven’t come across the Fancy Tiger Crafts pattern company before and I’m always keen to discover new pattern companies so thank you for recommending!
Thanks for this fab video Cath. I think the style of all your favourite patterns are perfect for me too. I love the feminine aspect of bodice and gathered skirt but with a bit of looseness too. I have the hinterland and can’t wait to sew it. It was great to see it sewn in cotton and viscose. Thanks again 😊
Your dresses are all beautiful. I like how you took one pattern and made it three times in different fabrics which gave them all different looks. You have good taste in fabrics! Always enjoy your videos.🌺😍
Thank you very much, I really enjoyed revisiting the different versions I’ve made, I do enjoy trying patterns I like in different fabrics. Thanks for watching 🥰
I have made 2 hinterlands and love them. I have also got the fringe dress pattern but not made it yet. I also wondered about the myosotis as it looks a bit more covered up for colder weather. Lovely makes Cath , thanks for doing the vlog . It’s good to see all the different styles at one time.
Thanks so much for watching. I really enjoyed revisiting the patterns and the versions I’ve made. I’d like to make a long sleeved myosotis as I think that would be fab for winter too. I love the fringe dress pattern too, hope you enjoy sewing that one 😊
Really enjoyed this vlog. Can see why they are your favourites as they all look great on you. The individual comments about the fabrics or the patterns are so helpful too. Thank you 🍀🌺
Loved this video and seeing all of your versions of the patterns you shared. I've not made the Hinterland Dress you're inspiring me to give it a go. Also I've only made the Cassiope for my daughter so maybe I'll have to try that one for me too :) Thank you for sharing x
Thank you for watching! I’d like to make the mini Cassiopee dress for my daughter too, the one you made was lovely 😊 the hinterland dress is a really nice sew and lots of options! I do love a dress 😁 xx
Love these top 5 pattern videos. You have so many versions of each dress I find them really helpful in choosing what to make next! I used to watch your videos on .0.75 playback speed, but I think your vocal timing is perfect now!
Thank you so much for watching, I’m so glad you found the content helpful 😊 Thank you also for your feedback on my vocal timing, I have been working on trying to slow it down so I’m really glad that you’ve noticed improvement 😊
It's so helpful you sharing detailed insights into recommended patterns and all of the research on fabrics that work. Super helpful for a beginner :) Thanks!
Only just discovered you so have had a lovely time binge watching all your videos. Love all your makes and everything suits you beautifully, and your choice of fabrics are really pretty. Keep up the good work.
Wow! They are fantastic... The Myasotis versions in double gauze are spectacular! It was interesting that you mentioned the bias binding on the Hinterland dress....I am about to make another Indigo and I think I am going to use bias binding this time. I'm not too keen on facings....Than you very much for sharing your makes and ideas.
Thanks so much for watching 😊 I think I’m going to use bias binding on the indigo in future too, I wasn’t too confident on using it before but now I’ve made a few bias bound necklines I feel more confident in doing it and I really prefer the finish 😊
Hi Cath, I have made 3 dresses from the WhitneyDeal Ryan top (etsy) just by hacking the top (lengthening it) which is a quick make I love. Easy wear dress with a high empire type bust line. Just made it today in a cosy brushed cotton x
Another fantastic vlog, Cath. I'm not sure any of these dresses would suit me as I am an apple shape but I still learn so much from you. You obviously have a lot of knowledge, perhaps you could recommend a sewing 'bible' I could get for Christmas or maybe do a vlog on your 5 favourite sewing books/websites? 😁 xxx
Thanks so much for watching 😊 I mostly use the internet (RUclips and google) for looking up sewing techniques, but I do particularly like the book Stretch! by Tilly and the Buttons, that was the first sewing book I got and the one I’ve used the most. I’ll have a think about my favourite books and websites! 😊 xxx
I love all the fun prints you use! Do you think that the pattern you are wearing could be made in a knit fabric? I think it would make a really pretty sweater style dress. It does seem like a very simple make! I want to try that one out in woven and knit!
Thank you very much! Oh yes the Cassiopee dress would be lovely in knit i think! Just would need a different neck finish and other than that should be really straight forward. Good idea!
Lovely dresses!! I agree, not a huge fan of facings. I’m struggling to get the fit sorted on the indigo dress and I’ve had my eye on the hinterland for a while. You might have convinced me to go for it!!
I really enjoyed hearing about your favourite woven dresses. They are all, lovely! I was very interested in the Day dress as about to make it. I have a pattern The cinema dress that I think you’d like. I haven’t made it as needs quite a lot of fabric so waiting to see something very reasonably priced to try it in. It looks lovely in double gauze and linen., also chambray. I also love your Myosotis dress which is a pattern I’d like. I chose the indigo ( which Im not convinced about on me ) I made it long with a ruffle but feel it’s wearing me. I should try it again but knEE length. Thank you 🙏🤗
Thanks so much for watching. I haven’t come across the cinema dress, I will look it up thank you! Yes I find long dresses often feel like they are wearing me too, I prefer knee length 😊thanks again for watching 💕
Love your picks! I wonder what your preferred seam finish might be? Specifically your Indigo dress made in viscose twill. All your makes are beautiful as always.
Thank you very much! I prefer a french seam for viscose and lighter weight viscose twills, as it’s so clean. Although for a heavier weight viscose twill I might overlock to avoid bulky seams. But for the viscose twill fabric I used for the indigo it was lighter weight and frayed a lot so I think french seam would be the best option. Thank you for watching 😊
Hi Cath. A bit of a question for you. In your opinion will a soft rayon or viscose be suitable for the Darling ranges dress? I’m not sure how the buttons will hold up on the softer fabric. It seems most people have made the dress with a chambray, cotton or linen fabric. Thanks for your expert advice. 😊
Hi Elise. I haven't made a Darling Ranges in a viscose/rayon but I have seen a couple of versions made by others over on Instagram. I think lightweight interfacing on the button placket and using lightweight buttons would help to make it work, but I guess it would give a more drapey, softer look to the dress than with a more stable woven. It looks like viscose/rayon is one of the suggested fabrics by Megan Nielsen so it should work but I guess it would make it a more challenging sew than using a chambray/cotton/linen. Hope that helps! :-)
This series is great. My favourite on you is the ice cream! :) But I agree the overall best pattern for me as well is the Hinterland. Just as I was thinking it might be a good winter dress with one of my Freya's you popped up yours! Thanks for showing so many versions of each dress. It really helps for people like me with less woven fabric experience to see them all, for inspiration.
Thanks so much for watching 😊 I do love the ice cream dress too, it makes me feel happy wearing it. I really like being able to reuse a pattern and try different fabrics out, I’m really glad you found it useful to see, thank you 😊
How do you baste your neckband on to see if it lies flat? By hand stitching or using a long stitch on the sewing machine? Thanks- need as much help as possible to conquer fears about neckbands! Thank you
I use a long straight stitch on the sewing machine 😊 good luck conquering it, I’ve definitely got more confident with experience, but it’s still one of my less favourite sewing tasks
Another great and useful blog, thanks! Website for “material girl Laura” is already unavailable - for anyone who like me thought, “Oh, might be a closing down sale!”. Sorry for selfishness 😐
