Omg I was looking for tutorials for a tiered dress for beginners but they were all too advanced for me 🫣. This pops up randomly a day later 🥲. You explain steps so well. Was wondering if you knew the name of a neckline? The neckline is straight across like this and has a tiny vertical slit in the middle. If you were to snip 2 inches vertically down this dress in the middle, it would look like that. I was searching for dresses in that style for evening wear.
This is my 3rd time using one of your video tutorials and patterns for a DIY project, and really enjoyed all of them ! Just quick question, for the long band length, when you say 1.25;1.5;2 x (4xpannel width) , is the pannel width the size without seam allowance or with ? I’m running short on fabric and I want to see if it’s worth dividing the long band into three pieces or not 😅
what machine do u use? it is singer?
Low key love the green and purple together
Hey! Thanks for the tutorial, I'm going to make it tomorrow morning! One question though, do you remember or can you tell more or less how was the length of the straps? Thank you againnn
You have a great voice and make it sounds like a breeze, however, your techniques are superb. Thank you for your time and encouragement. I will tuning in again. thanks.
Thank you so much. Your instruction is clear and easy to follow ❤
Je pense au tour de têtes je suis à 60cm de toute têtes Merci
delirious sleep deprived Maddy is my new favourite! 😂
Well done sharing thanks
How did you make the paper pattern? Also great job
Me encanta lo que haces por qué algunas cosas se ven faciles de hacer, pero ojalá puedas poner los subtitulos en ESPAÑOL 🙌🏻.
OMG every question that appeared in my head she answered it. Thank you it was very helpful 💙
My auntie used to work on the queens clothes she taught me when bathing sew two lines of biggest stitch and pull together so more even gather then stitch in-between the two lines to the other part of garment then pull out completely the line of stitching showing on the garment . It's so neat and even, and you don't have any folded over gathers.
I’m hand-making a cosplay and I intend on it being fully hand made. It’ll be okay if I can’t right now, but I will make it fully hand made at some point.
Excellent transformation! The fabric print and style was so “Southern (US) Preppy”.
"Will the real interfacing please stand up??" 😂 You had me lol-ing so much in this video! In all seriousness, you made the most divine Viola Vest! The reversible vest is a whole new level. You know we love everything you do, so grateful to have you make one of our patterns 🥰
why are my gathers so uneven and ugly
hi, i'm making the 4th top (gathered one in cream fabric) and for some reason it's barely any narrower at the top than the bottom (i.e., not as flared bottom or gathered top as the example) 🫠 does anyone know why this might be? it's still wearable just not as cute bc it makes me look like i'm wearing a pillowcase LOL
I just made the first one out of some scrap fabric! I didn't have quite enough to fit my bust so made little ties for the side seams. It took me about 2 hours with the ties included (would have been faster if I had enough fabric). Thank you for such an easy to follow tutorial!
This was the first thing I sewed ever and it was fantastic It works great and the Instructions were very easy to follow
😮
I agree! I'm in a whole different gen of sewers, too. Would pay a lot of money for a machine that has an alarm or better yet, it stops sewing when the bobbin thead runs out. I mean, it's been 50 years of this annoying thing happening for me! (When my mind wanders mainly)
Thank you so much for sharing your work.. I am making it as we speak. I just wanted to confirm about the seam allowance. Are you doing 1/2" seam when sewing?
amazing video! you explain things so clearly and concisely and went over so many great skills!! looking forward to trying this at home 🥳
Since you asked, I'm working on making a cami like the Ogden cami, just using a tank I already have to self-draft instead of using their pattern. I'm also working on toiles before sewing some flowy bubble gauze shorts that will be a little bigger in the waistband to fit my baby bump. I also feel like this vest would be super cute for maternity and nursing so thanks for sharing!
They both sound like exciting pieces to add to the wardrobe!! yay! So true, that this would be a great style for both those stages :)
For those who haven’t sewn a bias cut before, I would 100% recommend, depending on the fabric used, to let the dress hang with its own weight in case there is any stretching that happens to the hem as it’s on the bias (I would recommend at least a a day, but it can be several) That way you can trim the bottom even if it happens beforehand, so you don’t have to re-hem it later 😅This can definitely happen if you use the slinkier fabric at a longer length ❤ love this tutorial soooooo useful
Looks much better without the straps and love the gingham side with the brown wool details
Thanks so much!!
Just beautiful, so cosy and great recycling. Nobody's got one the same in the whole world ❤
Hey Maddy, i’m a fashion teacher and i like to give you a tip for next time you want to make this vest reversible. So before you stitch down de neck and armholes you can finish the hem. Just lay the 2 layers with good sides facing in and stitch the hem + the straps in the sideseams. Then flip the vest inside out en stich down the neck and armholes. Then you can finish de arms en neck like the pattern tell’s you. I hope this tip will help you in the future 😇 love your video’s 🥰
Great tip!! Thanks :)
Thanks for sharing 🎉 It was a very nice design❤
Your videos are so calming and wonderful! You’ve TOTALLY brought back my love of sewing so a big thank you to you. This looks amazing, can’t wait to try it out 😊
That’s such an honour that I could help you reconnect with sewing 💛💛
thanks for the tutorials and the tips ❤ i will try to make my own when i have free time 😊
My absolute pleasure!! Hopefully it all goes well for you ☺️
@@TheEssentialsClub yes, thank you very much ❤
Omg that’s so pretty! That’s some real talent right there
wow this is so cool! I'm looking to do this with some thrifted towels I got. Definitely gonna reference this video. Thanks so much!
I am So frustrated. I have a singer 2277. I have tried all of your tips tricks videos. I’ve changed stitch length to 3-4, tension from 5 all way up to 9. Stretching flat as I sew , tightened and loosen bobbin casing, light weight fabric and still it is not working fabric shir is loose and or top thread popping ? Do you have any suggestions or does some machines just not shir?
Could you show how to add a skirt to these tops or make them into a dress. Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are very good at explaining. Ty again!!❤
Made the last one with jean fabric and it was the first top I had ever sewed! Turned out great ^o^ I followed your pajama short one as my first sewing project ever -- thank you so much!
Do you hem each layer edge? If not, how do you keep it from fraying or having a raw edge?
oh also it would be helpful to include how to change the stitch pattern, maybe on a machine (or with pics from one) less straightforward than yours?
when threading the machine -- it would be helpful if you recorded removing the bobbin holder from the machine. that one tripped me up and i accidentally opened the levers to release the mechanism (lol). thanks for the vid
Jesus loves you x
How much fabric did you buy?
En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux , supe que tenía que tenerlo.
What is the seam allowance? I don't know why I'm missing it.
seam allowance shoulkd always be 1/4 of an inch to about 1/2 an inch in my opinion😊😊
i love this so much!!! thank you! I have a question, if i wanted the front a little more covered so that my chest doesnt show, how would i do that?
Beautiful, Keep it Up!xx
Kring(loop)winkel is how we call second hand shops in Dutch ;) Kringloop = cycle. 😊
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! THIS TUTORIAL WAS SOOO HELPFUL AND PATIENT LIKE IM BEGINNER BEGINNER AND I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING SO WELL I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING!!! I ADORE HOW IT TURNED OUT IT WAS MY DREAM TOP AND THIS VIDEO HELPED ME CREATE IT!! PLUS YOU HELP US CREATE A PATTERN?!?!?! LIKE THATS AMAZING!! ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO 💕💕💕
