"Using pockets to put my hands in at awkward moments" SO TRUE HAHA 😂

I think your dress turned out beautifully! Even as a professional historical costume maker I still struggle with buttonholes!😝

How do you became a professional historical costume maker? Are you a professional historian or a seamstress?

I learned how to do buttonholes manually on an old flat bed machine, so when I got a new sewing machine with automatic button holes, I thought I was in seventh heaven. The first time I used it, I stuffed it up completely. It took me ages to get use to the automatic buttonholer.

Are you using a bad sewing machine? If you have a Singer brand sewing machine, then you'll likely spend more time fixing it than sewing with it.

I forget which brand I have now, but that's mostly because I fell pregnant & had horrible H.G. then finally my first baby just after I got it and haven't had the time to fiddle around yet!

I love how calm and clear headed you stay, even though a few things didn’t go exactly as planned. I think that is a wonderful way to be, and in the end, the dress turned out beautifully!

is no one gonna comment on how adorable it was that Robert helped her with the circle skirt hehe

I was literally just shopping around for a dress like this on etsy.

I think you did a great job. Hand sewn button holes...hand felled seams....no pattern....yeah. You did brilliantly. It is a beautiful dress.

I appreciate the realism of squeezing in next to your couch to cut out the skirt - I've never felt so represented 😂

Wonderful job. The dress is very pretty and you should never point out your mistakes. You are most likely the only one that will ever notice them.

if there is one thing I look back and wish I would have done differently in my education it's to have learned flat pattern making. I really like sewing and I've dabble in pattern making, but I would LOVE to know all the techniques. It's SO helpful.

I totally agree! @Loepsie: how do you prepare your patterns? Are they based on store-bought patterns, or do you draft all patterns by hand? Any tips to help create an awesome fitting top like in this dress?

I find your dress project beautiful. The colour is really nice and the shape you gave to that material is really a success. Thank you for showing.

I love your video! Nice way to demonstrate the process and lovely music.

This is so bizarre ! I was literally looking around online trying to get some cottagecore inspiration to work on my wardrobe. As always loooove your videos 😻. And the dress turnt out so good !!!

I'm definitely with you on the pockets - it's nice to hear someone else have the same opinion! They're so annoying and time-consuming to sew, and I don't want extraneous pockets messing with the line of my skirts/dresses. I can see why a lot of people like having them, but for me I really only need pockets in my outerwear, otherwise I pretty much never use them.

Super cute! Enjoyed watching you sew! A little tip for buttonholes: if you stitch them before cutting them open, they come out neater.

Your dress is gorgeous! Also, if you like garments with buttons, you should look into a buttonhole attachment. Which one you need will depend on your machine but I love being able to do buttonholes on my nice strong 1930 Singer 66 instead of my weak 2 yr old Brother machine. Ebay, Etsy, and other such resale sites are a good place to start looking.

Will a buttonhole attachment work on a machine that can't do zigzag stitches or move sideways? I thought they needed to sew back and forth for that, but I'd love to get something that works with my machine!

I appreciate your creative genius and ability to actually do what you think of doing! You did a fabulous job using your own brain power and ability. Wow.

I am very impressed 😍 You should make the top part again just as a top cs I think wearing it with pants (fitted or flared or flowy) might look good ✨

Love it! Just one tip...baste the top of the sleeves along the curve at the top and pull one end of the thread to make your gathers before pinning it on...you can play with the gathers before you pin AND sew, MUCH simpler! 💖🧚‍♀️

Your process of patterning and adjusting is similar to mine for historical costumes. Thanks for this video, I feel inspired to sew for the first time in ages.

Mmm, I love this. I love your style. It's a very calm mood. The dress is such a beautiful color. I love linen.

Oh Loepsie! That green linen is beautiful! LInene is amazing but a sage/olive green is AWESOME!

I too have button hole anxiety. :) This is a lovely dress, I am quite impressed. :)

Your machine is stunning! I have a large collection of vintage machines, and I love them so much! By the way, I sew nearly all my clothes, and I am so impressed by the job you did! Also, you look beautiful in the dress. I am not a fan of pockets in dresses, either.

Thank you for sharing your sewing with us. I am very impressed by your calm demeanor, and your willingness to do all that hand sewing! Good for you! Your music choice this video was wonderful - when you are adding music throughout the video, although intermittently, it is really pleasant to watch along with such pretty, relaxing music. Your dress is lovely and so are you in it!

If you don't already know about them keep an eye out for a vintage buttonhole attachment that can work with your machine, perhaps? And there are vintage zig-zaggers too. Both are good and I have to say that as long as you go around the buttonhole twice the vintage buttonhole attachments make surprisingly good (very good!) buttonholes. Nice job on the dress too - and once you've worn and washed it a bit and the linen softens it will just get nicer and nicer! :-D Now I'm off to find out what "Cottagecore" is - I've never heard of it before but I really like that dress.

my mom was a sewer, I'm not, but I find these videos, especially yours, so calming and a way to connect to her. You are doing awesome! so pretty!

I LOVE THIS DRESS!👍💚💚💚 It would look super cute with a cream, brown, or lace ribbon tied around ur waist.😉🍃🍂🍁

"I don't really care for pockets.." Can't relate lol.

Buttons are death. Snaps all the way! I think you did a *wonderful* job!

I didn't even watch the video yet, I'm so excited after seeing the thumbnail :D ❤️

Mood!

I was just thinking earlier while continuing my winter Edwardian skirt project how lovely it would be in a linen for summer, and after seeing that fabric, oh my I've got to get me some of that gorgeous fabric!! Congratulations on your creation! You've come such a long way since that cute plaid skirt last autumn - I remember cringing at the thought of that unfinished inside waistband disintegrating in the washing machine after you'd worked so hard on it! This dress is absolutely beautiful and so so neat. Well done! I've recently found a channel that's helped me a lot with my sewing: Evelyn Wood focuses on teaching vintage sewing skills so you can use them in your own projects. It suits my style of sewing a lot better than teaching that's very project-focused (e.g. do step 1, then step 2, then step 3, then you have this exact garment!) and it might suit your approach too. Again, congrats on a beautiful dress! Can't wait to get let out to fabric shops again to find myself a similar fabric! Ooh I'm so inspired!

The bodice and sleeves reminds of the dress that rapunzel wears in tangled. I think it’s very pretty on you!! I love all the hard work you put into felling all those seams too😍 I have no machine so I fully appreciate hand finishing techniques. Very beautiful!! And much better in terms of longevity in a garment.

I love the "cottagecore" style, and I think you did beautifully with this piece. 10/10 would(and will)watch again! Can't wait to get back into sewing.

Wow! I have been thinking about making a dress very similar to this -- puff sleeves, full circle skirt -- but I was kinda intimidated by the idea. I feel more confident after watching this! Yours came out beautifully!

The dress is beautiful!!! And it looks absolutely breathtaking on you. Loved the work.

I love the fact that you are real and aren't afraid to share the positive and the negative in your projects. Makes me seem more human! :-D

Music is soothing while watching you sew. Make another one in a brighter colour.

Looks well done and comfy! You can do bound button holes with a strait stitch machine. They take a min to get your head around but once you learn them are a lot faster then hand sewn ones and look so neat.

Your buttons are better quality than most seen on ready-made garments these days anyway, so definitely no shame there! :) This dress is just WOW. It was nice to sew with you! (yes, I was sewing while watching this video ;))

Great job. For the circol skirt you can fold the layers by 4 and cut a quarter (for the nex time) Sorry for my english but I'm italian.

Watched this lovely video while working on hand-sewing a skirt. This also gave me some inspiration for some future projects!

I think it turned very wonderfully! Looks beautiful!!

Very nice work you did the colour of the dress, the beautiful style, the mysic. Keep it up.

How lovely. Keep up the good work. Simple and honest. Many thanks from Australia.

I really enjoyed watching you sew this lovely dress. You are adorable and it was really sweet of boyfriend/hubby to help you draw the half circle. May I give you a tip? Measure where your waistline is again, you'll find that your true waistline is a bit higher up than the dress's waistline. The skirt will hang better and you won't have a slight bunching up at the sides of the bodice.

Wowwwww mossy green is an excellent color on you! :)

pls tell me i'm not the only one that fell in love with her sewing machine! like that gave me such cottagecore vibes!!!!!!!!

I love that I ended up watching this as I also attempt to handsew buttonholes for the first time!! (its a very slow process!) your sewing videos always inspire me to create more, and I really adore this dress in particular. it came out so well!

Yesss! Cottagecore! 😍 Love love love! Also your sew with me videos are my favorite!!

So beautiful! I have some linen in about the same shade that I'm going to make some 1940s style beach pants :)

I can finally confidently start making a dress! Thank you for making this video, it helped a lot by seeing and listening to what you were doing. Thank you so much!!!!! The dress is beautiful!!!

The sleeves are amazing. Congrats if it really was the first time with that pattern! The dress is really reallily nice

This looks really cute and nice ^^ (Pro tip: always start with cutting out the circle skirt from the whole fabric, folding twice and cutting in a quarter shape at the corner, if that makes sense?)

Lucy, your dress is so lovely! Watching you make your dress kept making me think how calm and patient you are. Thank you for sharing.

Its came out lovely...its far better than I would have done.

Hand sewn button holes. Now that's dedication.

Hi! I also have a vintage machine that only sews straight stitches. There are button hole attatchments out there, if you would prefer not sewing them by hand. But also, don't beat yourself up wih the "perfection" of your button holes: you freakin made them by hand and in itself it's already super impressive! Congrats on your pretty dress!!

Love the dress design and colour too. Cool sewing machine

Jeez I like your jumpsuit!! It suits you beautifully! I'm not done watching the video till the end I just have to comment on your polka dotted jumpsuit , love it!

I literally just started making my first garment! This dress turned out beautifully 😍😍😍

Love your background music and your sewing machine. I really think your unique 😊. I’m a wife, I’m using husband’s phone😊

YOUR DRESS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Just heard the first 30 sec. and liked the video! :D I love my Sondeflor skirts and wanted to recreate them too, but I have never sown such a large piece or clothing. And I also ordered my first Sondeflor dresses in the summer sale! So maybe I will be going for it after this video :)

Hey Lucy, I'm curious about how much fabric this took? Just so I have an idea for a similar project. Your dress turned out beautifully, the green colour really suits you.

I don't know if she does already, but she should totally sell dresses like this! I would totally buy that. This is the first video of hers I've ever watched, but I already love her channel

Such a beautiful dress! I love both the style and the color! You did such a great job, you are becoming a very accomplished seamstress. I'm really impressed with your pattern making skills. Thanks for sharing!

It came out absolutely lovely!!! 😍

Your video was in my suggestions today, and I ended up watching it in a moment of total anxiety. Watching you sewing with the calming and beautiful background music was sooo refreshing. Just wanted to thank you for this content.

Awesome dress. Very flattering style.

I love this dress!

Absolutely love the dress😍💚

I did not realize you are a sewist ...beautiful result

Interfacing works so well for button whole but the bodice would need to be lined... looks great!!

ohhh my gosh, I love it!

So lovely! The dress turned out beautifully, and this video was so relaxing to watch. I love the composure of your videos and how nicely you pair them with music. 💛

oh man, i love the sleeves!

I love your machine! It's so pretty.

It turned out really cute!

Aw this turned out so lovely Loepsie! Your sewing skills have improved so much! I think your other older projects turned out nicely but this one is really beautiful. I won't be making one for myself anytime soon but I might buy one, I have been eyeing Sondeflor's dresses for a while, I guess I'll wait for when you have a promocode!

You did an amazing job, and without a pattern. Not many can do that. The only issue was the buttons but all by hand again they ruined out great. Its a really pretty dress.

Love this dress. I am a rookie and videos like yours are so very helpful. You are an inspiration. What, no pockets? 😘

It's beautiful!!

You did such a great job with this dress! I love how it turned out.

Beautiful dress! I love the sleeves and the neckline and the skirt and the ALL OF IT!!

that is one gorgeous sewing machine!!! (the dress is gorgeous as well)

Super impressive!! It's so calming to watch you sew.

This dress is absolutely beautiful!❤️
