It was my first time sewing this pattern & stretch fabrics are quite new to me - so this video was a bit of an experiment!

Aw wow, that is so lovely. Thank you! Ooooh that sounds amazing - must have been fiddly! Good luck with your bags.
Luckily for me, I could reach this interesting channel!!! I am looking forward to your video uploaded from Japan.
The dress looks wonderful! I am honestly thinking that I should purchase any sewing machine and start sewing right now because I am wedding guest in week and I have nothing appropriate to wear 😀

That dress looks amazing! I'm working on a wedding guest dress too. Vogue 9100. It's the first dress I'm making for myself, first time inserting an invisible zip, sewing princess seams and fitting princess seams. After 6 or so muslins, it's looking pretty good. Enjoy the wedding party!

I bought the pattern ! Gah! I'd love to try a pink and green design inspired by your version :). I definitely have found using a walking foot on my domestic machine so so helpful when needing to sew straight stitches on knit fabrics for anyone struggling ❤

Great video! What iron do you use?

I use a Tefal iron! It's awesome.
What do you use to film your videos?
I worked on upsizing my saree blouse. And I realised what a poor job the so-called professional tailor had done. In my country people get their clothes made by tailors on a regular basis. I noticed the following problems: 1. Horribly done invisible zipper 2. One of the sleeves had one side cut smaller than the other. 3. One half of the bodice was not the same size of the other half. It was as if the bodice and the arms were cut on the same side ( I hope it makes sense) 😅 I literally cried while fixing it and realised the professional tailors do not actually sew professionally for everyone and me learning to sew is paying its dividends. Also I have a question: Is there a specific reason you chose to use your domestic for this fabric rather than your Juki?
@fromcarlyb
Жыл бұрын
sorry for all the fuss with your shirt! I hope it is looking good now. Also I originally started with my domestic because I had ball point needles to use & they only fit my domestic... I didn't end up using them so I definitley could've/should've used my industrial but I had already threaded my domestic & I was just too lazy to change haha!!
I have confession, I love your videos and your makes, your personality shining through, but I am not huge fan of patchwork overall. Its usually too busy for me. But I absolutely fall in love with this make of yours. So this is how to get to me, with little bit more simplicity but huge intrigue. I will probably attempt something similar 😍 Thank you for inspiration!
