I watched your wedding dress video last night and then this one and less than 24 hours later I’ve made 5 hair scrunchies and this dress 😂 I didn’t even know how to use a machine so I stole my sisters and read the manual. I think I’m hooked now. Thank you!

When gathering material make two rows of gathering stitches about a half inch apart. Pull both threads to gather it up. Then stitch your seam between the two rows of gathering stitches. It will lay nice and flat and you won't get any of the gathers puckering up on you as you stitch. Then you remove the row of gathering stitches that shows. You can leave the other one that is on the seam allowance in and it will do double duty as a stay stitch. When I learned that trick it made things soooo much easier.

In the future, if you don’t want to do a top stich but you want the fabric to lay flat, you can use an under stich where you stich the excess to the lining fabric. It’s basically a top stich but you only see the stich on the lining side

This is the best beginner tutorial I’ve seen. So many don’t show what they are doing at each step. I’m going to watch all your videos now!

Trick of the trade: when sewing straps or other tube type things, attach a strong but thin string to one end and see the tube with it inside. When you go to turn it right sides out, just pull the string.

Wow! This brings back memories. I sewed this jumper over 40 years ago to earn my sewing badge for girl scouts. We (my mom and I) made the pattern out of newspaper and we did not have a sewing machine, so it was hand sewed. This is how my sewing journey began. The jumper was my first ever sewing project. So that proves how beginner-friendly it is and that you don't need a sewing machine to sew.

I would love to see a thrift flip of a granny square crocheted blanket into a sweater or dress! I see the sweaters all over Pinterest 😍

Day 2 of asking jenna to do another recreating pinterest outfits video 😅

Love the dress, it's so cute! It's really cute layered too. It's such a simple pattern that never really goes out of style. I have made both dresses and babydoll tops using the same pattern for about 12 years. I encourage everyone to try it!!

[abbyj]

you inspired me to finally pull the trigger on a sewing machine :')

[ariellerivers]

time to take my daily dose of happiness by watching jennas vids!! :))

[rachelplummer]

I love how your tutorials are actually easy to follow and things that I also think are adorable! I definitely think I’m going to try to make this, maybe making the bodice a lil’ longer and taking it in under the bust.
P.S. Because of your gingham dress video, I went and bought gingham shirts at the thrift store….I thought my store wouldn’t have any because it’s so small but I found some great shirts and I’m super excited to get back into sewing! Thank you for inspiring me!

Guess who is going to sew a dress in two different patterns? 😍😍 love ittt!

[ameliacraik]

Love that dress !! I'm making one today with ALL that leftover fabric I have now thanks!!that's just too dang cute

[katievioletthedivadog]

It’s so cute! It looks like something that was worn in the late 60s early 70s. The time when I was a child. Brings back great memories of the fun fashions from that time period. Very cute!

[aleksandranikolic]

I never would've picked these two fabrics together but it works SO well! Like it is 100% fantastic pattern clashing but in the best way!

[alexisbeaulieu]

love this tutorial! what was the length of the strap pieces you cut out?

[smallfootprint]

Absolutely adorable. You are adorable, and the lacey top is also adorable. So glad to see that it's ok to mix colors and styles of fabric. It's about time. Good work. Love the channel.

I love how easy you go about putting things together, you are so confident about just getting things together. I enjoy your fun and excited way of explaining yourself. Love how your dress came out. First time on your video, love to continue and keep learning to sew with your confidence, and reasureance. Thank you enjoyed your video.
