Ass pockets! LOLOL I can’t stop laughing!! The M&M background worked perfectly. The dress worked out really well considering there no instructions. Don’t worry about making more videos. We’ll be here waiting.
Disappointed??? In you of all people??? Nope, never gonna happen. I laughed so hard about the “ass pockets” jingle that my dog thought someone was breaking in.
I love that fabric! The dress is lovely 😻 Also, 3 videos a month when you're already working full time (and a parent) is excessive. Don't burn yourself out for RUclips! 🤗😎🤗
You are the greatest and beatest!!! You do you as you can!!! If 2 videos a month is what can be done un your time. Than, we can deal with!!! Take care of self and family....... See ya on the flip side ❤❤❤
The dress turned out great! I love it! With content, do what you can! We all understand your emotional and mental stability >>> feeding the content monster.
Don't worry about your pockets. Historically some pockets were hidden in the back. I think Enchanted Rose Costumes, Bernadette Banner, Nicole Rudolph, Abby Cox, and probably others have all discussed some of the strange places pockets have been in women's clothing ... when we have pockets.
Hi Stephanie, I really enjoyed this video and all you ahve done so far. Entertainment value is 100% and this one made me laugh so much. You should become a comedian. I have never seen one of those patterns before...French or German they are both so complicated. I am so happy you managed to finish the dress in your own way. Ass pockets!!! They could catch on your know!!!
I was once told that a lining has to be a different pattern than what is being lined, that way they will lay right . . . I think it was Lucifer himself who told me that. I have since bag lined and flat lined a few pieces. I prefer flatlining. There is a LOT less crying. The fabric is pretty. Do what you have to to live and not dig a hole to go insane in. I have encountered many spaghetti patterns, and immediately noped out of there. Brave woman.
You are one of my favorites, so while I might feel bit bummed about longer waiting times, I muuch rather watch video where you are exited and have energy. Thanks either way for fun times whenever they come ^^
I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for your videos whenever we will be fortunate enough to receive them, so please don't feel stressed about making content.
Bravo! What a delightful presentation. I love sewing, I could watch it all day! The dress will look fantastic once you apply your adjustments. I also like wide straps, partly because one can wear regular undergarments underneath, partly because I prefer to hide rather than expose details. Blessings from Kathleen of Winnipeg
Well done for sorting that pattern, dress is lovely. I look forward to your video's but understand the constraints. Thank you from the North Yorkshire seaside x x
It was Beyer Moden, one of the lesser known ones. And it don't exist anymore unlike Burda.✌️ Would love to have stacks of 1950's Burdas - only started collecting them in the last two years.
@@olgaremesow5212 Ah, you solved it! I would have guessed Burda - I didn't even know, there was a magazine called 'Beyer' around back then. And vintage Burda issues...my. It somehow never occurred to me, to hunt for those. I got a stack from the 90s and early 00s and there are some real treasures in there. Compared to today, they were much more fashion forward and daring back then. Or at least, that's my impression.
@@raraavis7782 I would agree. I started sewing in the early 1980s with Burda patterns - there's nothing like learning with the hard stuff right away. I still think their designs back then were a lot more interesting than now, especially for men. I really liked the way the trousers I made fit me compared to American or English patterns. The bagginess in the butt was simply not there even though the trousers were not tightly fitted, and I know it was because of the comparatively shorter length of the back crotch seam. Also, and this may be completely wrong, I swear that when Burda changed their patterns (some time in the '90s?) to use tissue paper and added seam allowances they also changed their basic draft. The trousers I made from the new patterns did NOT fit like their European style patterns. The fit was actually close to American/English patterns. I haven't used a recent Burda pattern so I don't know if that's still true, but their selection of menswear is now very limited compared to then so I'm unlikely to find out.
@@agcons Interesting observation about the fit issue. In Germany, Burda patterns are still without seam allowance. Not sure, if their basic sloper changed. For me, Burda has always been a little hit and miss, when it comes to fit. Sometimes stuff fits really well... sometimes it doesn't. Irrespective of wheather it's a new or old pattern. I wish, they would just tell us, how much ease is in a given pattern!
This was so much fun! I will watch you no matter the content or the frequency. I would rather see you in rare form than seriously overwrought. Take care of you!
Awesome dress and thanks for sharing the adventure with us 😊 I love your videos, humour and honest truth about sewing that not all of us admit....it's frustrating sometimes but alot of fun too. Looking forward to your next adventures. No rush, when you have the time 😃
Just stumbled onto this video. Please be gentler on yourself about the French. Quarante-huit is right. This Gal from Montreal (Canada) is happy to give you a huge kudos for the effort!
That fabric is adorable! The centre panel on the diagonal is a cute touch! I can say that I’ve tried making an outfit with no instructions and the struggle is real. Also, no worries on the uploads! You have a life outside of this and I fully appreciate and adore any and all videos you have the time to upload
I love your videos so much that I'm happy to have whatever you put out. Don't make yourself ill, or hate doing this because you're trying to do too much - a job, plus family eats enough energy and time that I'd far rather you do fewer videos than burn out and never make any more. I love how that fabric looks in your dress. Now I want table cloths just like those so I can make my own summer dress (even though I'm heading into winter).
Spaghetti Pattern aha!! That is the best way to describe it. I have a 1950s one from the brand Record (an Austrian company but printed in French). You’ve inspired me to take a second look at the designs and *maybe* I’ll finally get around to picking one to make
Based on the back view shown on the original piece you showed, I think you got your left and right back panels switched around so it wasn’t supposed to be higher in the back.
This is so silly and so much FUN!! Thank you. Also. I miss your videos, but understand you have other work that needs doing. I look forward to your videos, you always make me laugh and smile, and occasionally shake my head, LOL. Thank you.
Wow, that is a super pretty dress, though! Can't believe, you don't like the holder neck, I absolutely adore them. I had a dress almost like that, but with an elasticised back (store bought), which I wore to death, a couple years back. Always got a ton of compliments for it, too. And now excuse me, while I try to find an available pattern similar to this 😅😎
I love when you do these “crazy” projects. I’m sure it’s incredibly stressful for you, but it’s kind of the way I tend to approach things as well- just set your sights, jump in, and wing it- and it just makes me feel like I can grow outside of my comfort zone too. Also, I was tickled pink when you posted on Instagram about the spaghetti diagram teaser. I have some vintage magazines with those patterns, and I really wanted to see how they work up. Can’t wait!
I have several Burda magazines from the 1990s and I used some of the "spaghetti line" patterns from the inserts. They were printed in several colours as well as different symbols for the lines, and I have to say that tracing them was easier than trying to trace just the symbol on the black-only sheet that you're doing here. My eyes crossed in sympathy.
I really like the dress! It's so cute. If you can cut the angle right, the other straps will make it look even better, I think. Great job making it up as you went along. 😉
Some hints for tracing spaghetti patterns: - use real, art supply store tracing paper. You need all the transparency you can get. I used to attempt to use a roll of medical exam paper (free), I could barely see through it. - Shine as much light as possible on the paper. Then find more light ... I work in bright daylight, curtains all open, dining room lights full on, and an extra spotlight. - If you have one, use a mechanical pencil with soft lead ... I use a 2B. Not only are the lines darker, they're easier to erase. Use a good eraser, too. - I weigh down my tracing paper with pattern weights. To make it easier, I put a weight at each important corner of the pattern piece. - Write on each piece: pattern number, magazine date, piece number, size, and whether there are seam allowances.
The dress is adorable! Yeah the fits a bit off, but it’s amazing it turned out this good from a pattern in French without the full instructions. You did a great job 👏
I love love love the dress!! The fabric is super cute, I’m amazed you were able to find anything resembling pattern pieces in that spaghetti mess!!! Also, please do not worry at all about releasing less videos - this should be fun for you as well, and none of us would want you to end up biting off too much when you have other priorities in your life to worry about!
You do what you need to do to make your life work, no worries. Weirdly, I recently found Nani's channel before she posted her collab video! In order to make things easier on yourself, what about smaller projects? Instead of a whole dress, maybe make accessories? Hair diddlybobs (ties, bands, clips, etc,) masks that match the dresses you've made, hats? Skirts take less time (usually) and hair-pulling because there is no hecking BUST SHAPING involved. *Grumbles* Regardless, don't drive yourself crazy!
I kinda want to try that dress pattern of craziness. I can read a fair amount of french and it would be interesting 🤔 to try. I would definitely have to scale like you did, tho.
So did you find it? What happened to the original pattern/magazine? We love you and if you can only do once or twice a month, that’s great. Work life balance is very important. And the joy that you bring into my life is just fine with twice a month…😂 Really I love your stuff.
I can understand your pain, my recent sewing project is from a 1975 burda magazine. I sent a snap picture of the pattern page to my friends: what is that? Is it a map? Was their response. I had no plans of reselling this magazine, so i did draw over the lines i needed on the pattern page to make them stand out more.
I am yet to meet a vintage sewing magazine that has any additional info inside it. (what's on the pattern sheet is what you get) butlikeImean, it's an adventure!
Love what you do. The girls and I are planning a trip to the world's largest thrift store. Thank you for the idea. Was wondering if you got the Miss. Piggy stocking? Where is the M&M store?
You were right, the tableclothes made a really cute dress! I love halter necks and look great in them but my neck does not and will then give me migraines as punishment so I totally understand you wanting to change the straps. For no instructions and sizing up it came out well! In terms of video frequency I would much prefer videos that you have had the time you need/want to give your idea justice, as opposed to a video every week, especially given you aren't doing this full time. Please be kind to yourself, it produces much better content!
I've seen this before, a while back from a vintage magazine for a camisole or something else, it's weird for us but again I learned that women are sized smaller overseas that in USA
I adore your videos because your sense of humor rocks. BUT if you're overstressed trying to produce content and work a demanding job, you may lose that je ne sais quoi that is so Stephanie Canada. Ha! How's that for slipping in a French reference! (Of course I goggled it) 2 videos is fine. If you manage a 3rd, consider it an extra bonus. I'm an old lady so I can say... Life's too short to stress it.
Your chaos turned out real cute! Love the diagonal accent. Aside from a bit of weirdness about the halter, I understand why you'd want that to be straps. Did you find the magazine??
So I purchased a similar magazine on Etsy but it was graph, language Italian. Seller interpreted Italian but I’m not sure on the graph system. You measure bust and armpit to floor. You cut a piece of paper to those measurements and fold it 5 time both ways. You get 32 squares. The 32 squares are represented the same in the book pattern. You match dots to dots from book graph to the custom graph. The book pattern is metric. I’ve never tried this before, nor do I know how accurate it is. Have you done a video on these before or done a conversion pattern using math?
That looks like those terrible patterns that are in a magazine as they are offered here as standard in Belgium and the Netherlands. Nice patterns, if you can decipher them. Now I remember why I usually work without patterns. It's great that you deciphered that line horror so quickly. I usually don't manage to trace them onto pattern paper. That dress looks fantastic even though it comes from such a horrible spaghetti pattern. Wow, hats off. You are actually lucky that you now have a French-language pattern instead of German. German has a number of letters that do not occur in English, Dutch and French (i.e. other languages), making it difficult to put them in Translate, for example.
I actually like this dress, and so impressed you took on such a difficult project!
Ass pockets! LOLOL I can’t stop laughing!! The M&M background worked perfectly. The dress worked out really well considering there no instructions. Don’t worry about making more videos. We’ll be here waiting.
I clicked the video, I was like "Waitasec, Seamstressed? How'd I get here? Either way I am all for it!"
I like this chaos lol. Very on theme with Seamstressed. Love when world collide.
Firstly I have fabric envy, but ass pockets! I died!!!!
Hilarious reveal in the candy store! I love it! Such a cute dress and the plaid tablecloths were a great choice!
You do whats best for you. We'll still be here, waiting for further shenanigans. 😊
Disappointed??? In you of all people??? Nope, never gonna happen. I laughed so hard about the “ass pockets” jingle that my dog thought someone was breaking in.
Hell, I happily follow content creators who upload maybe once or twice a year. Take all the time you need.
We understand Stephanie, it's truly hard to juggle. As long as you are mentally and physically well, that's what matters the most. 💖
I love watching your videos. And I’m now 100% convinced that I NEVER want to try sewing a pattern ;)
Super cute dress. It turned out amazing without instructions.
I love that fabric! The dress is lovely 😻
Also, 3 videos a month when you're already working full time (and a parent) is excessive. Don't burn yourself out for RUclips! 🤗😎🤗
Love that snarky sarcasm 😁, I have turned cloth place mats and made lining for my new straw purse
You are the greatest and beatest!!! You do you as you can!!! If 2 videos a month is what can be done un your time. Than, we can deal with!!! Take care of self and family....... See ya on the flip side ❤❤❤
The dress turned out great! I love it!
With content, do what you can! We all understand your emotional and mental stability >>> feeding the content monster.
Shows what’s great sewist you are
I am happy with ANY content when it comes.
Don't worry about your pockets. Historically some pockets were hidden in the back. I think Enchanted Rose Costumes, Bernadette Banner, Nicole Rudolph, Abby Cox, and probably others have all discussed some of the strange places pockets have been in women's clothing ... when we have pockets.
in a victorian tutorial I saw a pocket-"girdle" worn over the skirt
The dress is so cute and worth the trouble! The fabric is great and with the adjustments you will do ,I think you will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Stephanie, I really enjoyed this video and all you ahve done so far. Entertainment value is 100% and this one made me laugh so much. You should become a comedian.

Fun collab! The dress is so cute
Love the ass pockets!!! Aaaaargh! So cute and congrats on not perishing on the spaghetti curse hehehehe
Don't stress about us, the viewers. Take care of you first and foremost, for without you there is no content at all.
Oooh that was an evil collaboration lol but the dress came out so pretty xx
Love your channel so much! I will take what I get. But take care of you! That's most important. ❤
I think the dress is super cute!
Good to see you again. I do miss seeing you.
Take care. From NC

Do what’s best for you! I will enjoy your videos as they come
I have stumbled on your videos recently. I love when you sew. I identify with your frustrations so much,lol.
Aww welcome! Happy you are here! And yes, I like to share my wins and my failures.
I love this fabric and agree on the halter things, I don’t like them except for with swimwear. Also hooray for doing what is sustainable for you!
You are one of my favorites, so while I might feel bit bummed about longer waiting times, I muuch rather watch video where you are exited and have energy. Thanks either way for fun times whenever they come ^^
I have to say, (And I apologize now) I laughed my ass off all the way through your video!! Great job!!
Stephanie I understand, it's lovely to follow you whenever. Dress good with halterneck xx
I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for your videos whenever we will be fortunate enough to receive them, so please don't feel stressed about making content.
Blew my mind. I think I might like this.
Bravo! What a delightful presentation. I love sewing, I could watch it all day! The dress will look fantastic once you apply your adjustments. I also like wide straps, partly because one can wear regular undergarments underneath, partly because I prefer to hide rather than expose details.

Well…. You did a fab job!👏👏👏💕
Love the ass pockets.
All your content is so worth the wait. Love your work.
Thank you for your content. Whenever you can is wonderful and appreciated
Just found your videos and just love them …..so a video when you are able to do them is something I will always look forward to 😊
Two thumbs up. That fabric was actually just right for that pattern. A very cute sun dress!
I love you print you used and the dress. Cute look like a fun dress to wear
Now I'm curious - which German magazine was it?...Anna, Burda - I've got STACKS of these, love them. A pleasure to see both of you together...YAY!

This is why carbon paper and tracing wheels were invented.

Two videos a month is very sensible! I really enjoy the energy you bring to your videos, they editing is so fun too :)

Love it. You cracked me up. Your fantastic.
That is beautiful.
Love how you upcycled the great tablecloth!
Spaghetti Pattern aha!! That is the best way to describe it. I have a 1950s one from the brand Record (an Austrian company but printed in French). You’ve inspired me to take a second look at the designs and *maybe* I’ll finally get around to picking one to make

ASS POCKETS....my new swear phrase to use in front of grandkids.
I actually laughed myself into a coughing fit at the ass pockets song. God I’m 12 years old.
Fits nice. Love the backside. Pocket...... it has Pocket, but wrong place for use
Well done! I have a couple of spaghetti patterns with Japanese sewing magazines that I intend to work on one of these days
That’s super cute!
Two videos per month is fine!
Some hints for tracing spaghetti patterns:
- use real, art supply store tracing paper. You need all the transparency you can get. I used to attempt to use a roll of medical exam paper (free), I could barely see through it.
- Shine as much light as possible on the paper. Then find more light ... I work in bright daylight, curtains all open, dining room lights full on, and an extra spotlight.
- If you have one, use a mechanical pencil with soft lead ... I use a 2B. Not only are the lines darker, they're easier to erase. Use a good eraser, too.
- I weigh down my tracing paper with pattern weights. To make it easier, I put a weight at each important corner of the pattern piece.
- Write on each piece: pattern number, magazine date, piece number, size, and whether there are seam allowances.

I love love love the dress!! The fabric is super cute, I’m amazed you were able to find anything resembling pattern pieces in that spaghetti mess!!!
Also, please do not worry at all about releasing less videos - this should be fun for you as well, and none of us would want you to end up biting off too much when you have other priorities in your life to worry about!
I love the fabric and the dress turned out well but, yeah, ditch the halter for 2 straps.
You do what you need to do to make your life work, no worries. Weirdly, I recently found Nani's channel before she posted her collab video!
