I Promised You a Wrap Dress! | New Sewing Pattern Development & Self Care Day | Thrills and Stitches

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today's design vlog is also a bit of a week in my life as I take you along the development of my new sewing pattern, with a small self care day squeezed in. I'll take you out to the salon, a bit of shopping on Portobello Road in famous Notting Hill, fabric shopping, and finally I will show you the first version of the wrap dress prototype I have been working on all along. It's a bit of a wild ride but I hope you'll enjoy it!

    I like the vlog style, including the hair salon interlude. It's interesting seeing how the straight-haired live 😄. I have curly/ wavy hair, and curly hair specialist salons usually get you to wash your hair and dry it with minimal styling just before your appointment so they can see what it naturally does. If I didn't have to, there's no way I'd wash it before an appointment where they immediately shampoo it, but you do your thing, girl.

    This was really lovely to watch. I'm feeling in a bit of a rut this week, so being able to take a tour through your week vicariously was really soothing and inspiring. Super excited for the new pattern- I loved the lapel on your mother's dress and was hoping it would come into this design. Lapel, princess seams, elbow sleeve, everything that suits me best. Eeee!

    The way the lapel/collar pattern came together was extremely satisfying! I enjoyed the vlog parts too, I enjoy a beauty routine, and feel free to share your fave mascara, your lashes always look lush! I love the flowy white dress and red dress on you too, I feel the need for a square necked red linen dress now … but I have to remind myself what looks good on my body might be different 😅

    The prototype looks great, I actually let out an "Eeep!" when you said it was wrap dress day. So true about changing eyebrows! I'm almost 30 and noticed mine are getting very light too 😐 I could watch your vlogs all day! Thank you for the tour around Notting Hill, is the reason Americans flock there because of the movie? A week in your life is so cool 😍 Love from Australia x

I just know that when I am trying a language that isn’t my first, I appreciate being given a bit of a steer from time to time. This was the singular word I’ve ever heard you use that wasn’t 110% correct, so you’re doing A-OK 😅

    I am so excited to see an update on the wrap dress! I've been waiting for it. I agree with you on the sleeves that they look a little tight and would look more vintage with just a little puff on top. I can't wait to see the different views for this dress and to see it in your shop!

    This was really interesting. I noticed before the skirt was added the top wrapped right over left which is the usual way to wrap.However,in the completed dress you wrapped it left over right,was there a reason for this?I actually prefer right over left as I feel it sits better
