I would definitely like to see a more in depth tutorial for this type of skirt. I think this skirt looks amazing, and I would love to learn how to make one.
I’ve never been confident enough to make my own Renaissance costume. I’ve deconstructed to reconstruct pieces but your friendly video really puts me at ease. Thank you for sharing.
Von another way to finish the edges of the tulle is use is to use a curling iron, or you can put fusible thread in one of the loopers of you serger and serge all the edges and then press this will seal the edges, and depending on the other threads you use can give a bit of shine to the edges
I love seeing progress on your costume!
Great job Yuvonne! Easy to follow, thanks for info on the serger. Beautiful:)
The white netting reminds me of cobwebs. I love the overall effects of the fabrics. Beautiful!
Thank you, Lavinia!!
loved this! looking forward to more on this costume!!
Love this!! Will definitely have to do this for my renaissance fair skirt...I’m going as a witch but the skirt I bought from the thrift store wasn’t what I was looking for....something more like “I’ve been living in the woods collecting stuff for 20 years” kind a thing. 😂😂😂
ooooo! That sums up the aesthetic wonderfully!!
Very pretty! ❤️ The costume is really coming together!
You are so talented. It's really a beautiful thing to watch. Tyfs. It's so pretty!
Have you tried using the rolled hem plate on your serger. It’s awesome for light fabric hemming, and you can use contrasting threads as well. Also, your serger has a feed adjustment to take out the gathering you are experiencing. Lovely work.
Love your work!
I love the look I'd be interested in seeing the trim pattern. Fantastic video ♡
Thank you so much for this video! Exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for to get an idea for how I wanted to make my daughters witch costume!
i LOVE IT!!! i need to get my machine out!! love your videos
a couple serger tips to help you in future projects ^.^
1) make sure your differential dial (normally the bottom dial of the 2 on the side i think) is at 1. if its less than 1 (ie 0.75) then it flares out the stitches while sewing. if its more than 1 (ie 1.5) then it gathers the material.
2) an easier way of rethreading the serger is (starting with the right most ones) cut the thread from the spool but dont remove from machine yet, then get your new thread and tie them together. do this for both right threads and leaving the needle threads for now, press the foot until the new thread is visible in the stitching, then change the needle thread. this should save loads of time and headaches.
a bodkin will help pull elastics through much quicker and they are relatively cheapish and fabric shops or craft shops should have them.
hope these tips help you von. keep up the lovely work ^.^
I've found that adjusting the tension on the foot helps with the machine gathering light weight materials.
MrDanielpknott I was just going to comment about the differential feed :)
Just found your channel, first video I have seen and I already subscribed and followed you on IG😁 Just getting back in to sewing after a 20 year break😬 And you are so inspiring and funny! ❤️
I love your tuto, your work, and you too !
Just gorgeous!!
Beautiful costume so far Von. So wish I could sew as well as you. (Or at all.Lol). My Grandmother taught me that trick with the safety pin. She was a seamstress and I'm so sorry I never got her to teach me how to sew properly. Can't wait to see the finished costume.
You're the cutest bean, I love this video♡
Your fairy outfit is lovely!! My dress dummy is called Bertha also... LoL 😃🤣😃🤣
Wow beautiful work I just love it, Truly a fantasy dress,Thank you for another great video very informative and fun!
love it!!! If only I could sew!
Hey Von, it might be easier to light a candle, then move your fabric along to seal the edge instead of trying to hold the lighter and the fabric. And, would sewing a drop bead to each low point of your blue netting hold it down enough to keep it from snagging your gauze? Loving watching you create this costume!
I've made about five dolls and their accompanying clothes/accessories, I find it a great way to use up fabric scraps, but it does have its own little bite because everything's so small and needs more concentration than human-sized stuff (in my case), but it's a great past-time anyway :D
Regarding pleats, you can also use a fork to get uniform and easy pleats
Ps. I love your tutorials, you're just so fun and relaxing to listen to
oooo, I love the fork idea! I will have to look into that!
Moça, você é maravilhosa
Eu estava quase um ano procurando um vídeo tão bom e explicativo assim, obrigada 💞 muito talentosa
Von try using an heat embossing gun to seal your ledgers instead of a flame. The flame could cause the fabric to burst into more flames. I want to see your wonderful work for a long long time.
you are amazing - so lovely and inspirational x .
This tutorial is amazing! I plan to make a longer skirt like this for a Renaissance faire out of cotton fabric. Will I need to do the lighter technique to burn off frays with that kind of fabric as well?
Loved this tutorial. So whimsical. Just what I am looking for. Have you updated the pattern yet? I don't see it on your website
14:12 i use a little (unscented) tea light candle. that way it's stationary and i can just move the fabric across the flame. 😊 (i do this on the counter right next to the sink, in case i have to abort lol)
That's brilliant!
Very nice tutorial; but I kept finding myself distracted by how amazingly perfect your teeth and smile are. Well done at any rate with the skirt instructions, hope to see more from you.
wish I thought of heat treating the tulle when I made a dress for my daughter, I used a liquid edging treatment (fray stop) and it drove me nuts
Fantastic dress ... Love the composition ... Now for static cling ... The pic on wall by stairs kept moving ... Either gentle wafting breeze or a ghost moving it ...
Beautiful
Wow! You deserve a medal for patience and it paid off because that is gorgeous! You're going to look amazing! When you do Pisces which is my sign I will give you a billion star points if you do it without the use of fish hehehe. I know whatever you do will be awesome really. I bet you are kind of dreading doing the other signs though. Cos play consumes your life. xxx
Lee Stockwell ... It's impossible to represent Pisces without a fish, lol.
Not if you're Von
So awesome! Wish you would have modeled the finished dress so we could see what it looks like on!
Thanks King! I have some pictures of the completed costume on my instagram if you are interested :)
how many yards of fabric did you end up using for the blue part of the skirt?
You are so cute, looks amazing
I make a similar skirt for our local ren fair and the skirt is gathered to the waistband and the elastic gathers the waistband as well so it is really full.
If you are going to work with that thin material alot, instead of burning the edge to keep it from fraying or serging it, there is a hot knife or scissors that you cut the piece out with and it will seal the edges as you cut the pieces out. A gentleman I know that sells garb at fair has a set and has offered for me to come to his workshop and rent various tools that I can't afford. I also make the casing for the elastic to fit the width of the elastic sometimes using two casings and 2 lengths of elastic to make the waistband lay better and not have so much fabric to bunch up under the corset. It gets uncomfortable.
I want them to make magic wand lighters because you need one for this edge burning process
Hey what is the fairy skirt pattern called? I’m a little new still to sewing and need to practice these and can’t find a pattern like this
What serger are you using?
What pattern did you use for the first blue layer
Although I can’t find it
What pattern do you use? I didn’t see it in the description (I’m likely just missing it)
Where did you get the pattern?
What is the pattern you used for this!?
Do you have a more detailed video... Making a Halloween costume
Never mind hun I see where you said in discription
Is it mandatory to use a serger with this pattern? Asking becuase I'm on a college student's budget; I can't afford a serger alongside all my other expenses right now!
Hey, Kalyn! Its not necessary at all! You can substitute the serged hem with a rolled hem or and overlock stitch (many times I have also just folded the hem over twice, pinned, and run a straight stitch!)
@@backtoearthcreations Thanks so much! I'm newish to sewing, so I just wanted to make sure before I tried something else
Change your differential feed, and your serger will be okay.
Whatever that sheer fabric is called it's a nightmare to work with! I've given up on stuff like that😅
using a safety pin to thread is how my mom taught me. If you put another safety pin into the free end and pin it to your project you won't pull the free end into your project and lose it.
An easier way to re-thread your serger is to tie on your new thread and pull it through. 😉
My serger is doing the same thing.
Where was the link for the pattern? I'm having a hard time locating it
Hello, Nicole! We currently don't have the pattern available as we're updating it, but when we get it updated we'll announce it in our newsletter at www.backtoearthcreations.com
@@backtoearthcreations thank you so much! Can't wait to see what you do next ♡
Is the pattern available yet? It’s not in the shop on your website

Thank goodness - I thought I'd gone deaf at first !
You seem lovely, but please get someone to help with the camera angles, as it is very hard to watch.
