    YOU'RE THE BEST!!!! Hit me with those WIPS - I love reading them all!! For me this week, I'm working away on another fairy wedding dress (the IG mates will know what I'm talking about!) Hope you're well & sending lots of love this week.

      I’m working on a denim patchwork dress. The bodice is the top portion of some thrifted overalls I’ve had for a while but don’t wear as often. I have to gather the skirt and then attach to the bodice and it’ll be finished. I’m also going to add some patches from a purple flower print fabric scraps. Much love from a Texas girl! 💜

  • @kaytiej8311
    @kaytiej8311 9 месяцев назад +1

    Carly, hope this helps but you added a frill to your collar. A frill is a strip of fabric gathered up. A ruffle is cut on a curve (circular) so that the smaller, inner sewing edge is flat but the larger edge circumference creates the floof.
    This happy dress suits your gorgeous bright personality so well!

    It's almost winter here. But it's okay, because I'm a weirdo who actually like snow.
    I'm still working on my maternity pants I was working on last week. I kind of set them aside and didn't touch them because I'm also moving so I've been packing.

    • @fromcarlyb

    I love the voiceovers! This was a lovely video to have with my morning tea and start my day! I'm currently working on a holiday throw pillow, can't decide is I want to add piping or ruffles to the edge

    • @fromcarlyb
      @fromcarlyb  9 месяцев назад

      OK YAY!! That's great! Aw I hope you have a wonderful day mate - and also !! that project sounds so fun - a hard decision between piping and ruffles but I'm sure it'll be awesome either way.

  • @hazamh5281
    @hazamh5281 9 месяцев назад +4

    Hi Carly!! Just wanted to ask, is there a reason you did two separate tiers when you could have done one tier of a long rectangle since the bottom was just one long rectangle? 😅 omg idk if that made sense??? Essentially why not the gathered circle skirt in one piece? 😭

    • @fromcarlyb
      @fromcarlyb  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi mate !! hehe not really any reason at all!! It would be more practical to just do one tier of rectangle skirt, or a longer circle skirt but I guess I just liked the extra detail of that seam line!! It kind of falls in a slightly different way to a regular rectangular skirt or a regular circle skirt!
      BUT totally unnecessary and just a silly little detail haha!!

    What a lovely dress! It’s a shame you ran out of fabric for the rectangle piece! Yesterday I made a hip bag out of waxed canvas and regular canvas and it was a super quick sew. Next is a ruffled princess dress for my 7 year old

    • @fromcarlyb
      @fromcarlyb  9 месяцев назад

      It turned out just right in the end!! Ooooh that's amazing - sounds great!! Your 7 year old will be so happy!!

    I've never been able to successfully add a rectangle ruffle to a circle ruffle. It always looks wonky and doesn't go right. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
    Dress is so cute! I like ASMR for sewing videos and also voiceover. Both are good. I prefer them over music interludes mostly because if I don't like the music chosen, it's distracting.
    I have two WIPs: a denim a-line maxi skirt and living room curtains.

    • @fromcarlyb
      @fromcarlyb  9 месяцев назад +1

      It is a bit weird!! Took me some playing when I did it the first few times so I understand!! I just go slow and keep pulling my fabric to make sure it sits as flat as possible. Hope your WIPS go great!!!
