When you ruffle turn the tension all the way up! Creates the ruffles automatically with the long stitch length...saved me so much time since I started doing this

[esrachunli]

the fabric is adorable <3 my boyfriend bought a sewing machine for my birthday. I am planning to copy your work girl because they are so me and adorable. I wish I could find the same or similar pattern fabrics here in Turkey, too. :) :(

If you put your sewing machine on a long stitch length with a high tension it gathers the fabric without the need for a gathering foot! And you can adjust the gathers after the fact, which you can't with a gathering foot.

“This is too much maths for me”…this was my exact thought a few minutes in as soon as I saw the Pi symbol! At 35 I’ve finally discovered the relevance of Pi to my life. The dress looks amazing, well done!

That fabric is gorgeous! Love the design of this dress, and the pink underskirt did go so well with the main fabric! Videos like this inspire my newbie sewing skills so much!!

It turned out so beautiful and that fabric is gorgeous. I see you have a Janome (like me) you can get an invisible zipper foot. It unrolls the zipper for you and sews really close to the zipper teeth so no more struggling and its soo easy. Definitely invest in one, they're only like $30 and a complete game changer.

Wowowow the end result was honestly mind-blowing the way the sleeves fall on itself so perfect! You did an amazing job you put in so much effort you spent hours doing this thank you for a great video.

I like having the ruffle another colour! It looks super cute!!!

[annatruong]

I remember when you made that outfit that you were in the video out of tea towels and I was in awe on how creative and cute it was.

You look so gorgeous 😢🥺 worth every pinprick

[KiraOhmart]

u do an incredible job showing ur drafting process <3

[julieghim]

Thank you for the detailed explanation of your bodice pattern!! my brain has such a hard time thinking in 3D- also that mauve ruffle was SUCH a lovely choice! 🌷

[bella]

This tutorial is so easy to follow! I love the part where you draw out all your patterns, it's extremely helpful!!

[mylifeasjessio]

i love how it turned out! The mauve underskirt was a good choice! it gives a nice pop! and the movement of the skirt LOVE

My boyfriend had bought me a sewing machine. I made a short selkie puff dress. I am waiting for a nice day and take some photos with it. Guess who inspired me start sewing. That's you. Thank you so muchhh. I'm really enjoy my new passion. 💗💗💗

[sabasiddique]

this is the most gorgeous thing ive ever seen OH MY GOD

For regular zips (specially on dificult fabric), I myself cheat and use double sided tape. This helps me not only keep everything straight so the fabric doesn't streach underneeth creating a wabbly/bumpy finish, but it helps keep everthing in line - night and even, specially on those important places like the very top and bust/waist lines.

** Just be sure to clean the needle with rubbing alcohol when you're done so you don't gum up your machine or ruin the fabric **

Hope that helps 🥰

[fsmnt]

It's gorgeous. Can't imagine doing that amount of work....

[uberbubble]

That fabric is pretty on it's own but you've made it gorgeous! A beautiful dress and the complementary colour trim only enhances the overall look, great choice.
Love seeing the tea towel top in action too!!

Thank you so much for being so clear with the explanation of the pattern! I am a beginner at sewing so I have next to no knowledge about pattern drafting. It makes it challenging to make my own clothes, because I'm plus size with a small bust so "standard" pattern sizes don't tend to fit me well. Your explanation of how to make the bodice was AMAZING and now I feel fairly confident to attempt to make a dress like this for myself!
