Thank you so much for posting this! I had a wedding dress emergency with my daughter due to a horrible bridal shop saleswoman and had to add sleeves to a strapless gown just a few weeks ahead of the wedding... and I live out of town, so had less than 24 hours to come up with something & have no bridal gown experience at all. I watched your video several times and it gave me the basics I needed to create her lace sleeves - thank you thank you thank you, I don't know what I would have done without this!

It's such a fun way to get creative and I really love making special pieces for others (and myself). xx

Thank heaven for wi fi! 😏 Heard my phone go "ping!" Just could not wait to watch. Beautiful planning and even more beautiful results. Hardly anyone I know who sews actually uses a thimble so it was cute to see one in action. Lovely project, a way to be a part of your friend's special day in a significant way. Hope we can look forward to more creative/sewing videos.

Hi Emily, I just caught up with this video now. What a lovely idea to customize her dress and make it a litle more covered up for the church ceremony. I couldn't believe how deftly you were wielding your dressmaking shears for such delicate work. In my mind, I was reaching for my smaller scissors! Loved having a glimpse at all your sewing gear!

Thankyou for sharing such a special video Emily. I enjoy seeing a variety of content on my favourite channels and to get to know people more. How lovely to have the opportunity and wonderful skills to make something so beautiful and how blessed is the bride to have a sweet and very talented friend. Were you able to capture any footage or photos of making your own wedding dress? Many years ago I made my wedding gown, a Christening robe worn by two of our six children and some nursery accessories using my bridesmaid's tiny blue and white floral dress fabric. Not a lot of sewing since then but I do like the idea of stitching on scrapbook pages and have tried it once. Beautiful Pandora jewellery and pink box too! :)

I love that you made your own wedding gown, nursery accessories and a christening robe! That is SOO special and something your family will cherish I am sure! I love sewing, but I know exactly what you mean...life gets busy and it does take time to set everything up to sew/prep, etc. I love your scrapbooking idea!! That sounds beautiful. Do you have a video about that? Would love to see it! I have a few photos from making my wedding dress, but no video footage sadly! I'm actually in the process of doing a video about my wedding dress, hoping it'll turn out the way I'm imagining in my head, haha. Hope you had a lovely weekend! xx

I have just watched your wonderful wedding dress compilation on the iPad and will be watching again (and again!) on the big screen and commenting via computer.

Emily that's wonderful you have done some scrapbooking. Did you keep any? When I was a little child I made a scrapbook of baby pictures from magazines especially multiple birth babies, unaware of course that I'd have twins myself in the future! I so wish I'd kept it. We surely need more hours in a day for being creative. Ah yes I thought crafting would be your cup of tea! You've inspired me to look at my cup and saucer collection this week and to dust the contents of my china cabinets. One day I need to be more adventurous and try some different tea. I am in awe of the variety you share. I have for many years enjoyed only extremely weak traditional breakfast tea with skim milk and no sugar, just the very slight wave of a tea bag :) My dear sweet Mum would tease me and call it 'dishwater' bless her xoxo

@fashionstoryteller

5 жыл бұрын

Paige Alesso thank you so much, lovely! 💕 Absolutely, you can use the same method on sleeves, however when you get near the seam allowance, don't hand sew the sides of the lace down, just yet. I would sew your underarm seams (in the other fabric) together first, then over lap the lace over the seam. It looks really pretty and prevents bulky fabric in-between the layers. If you are adding lace to already sewn sleeves, you won't need to worry about this step! ☺️💕 Tell me how it goes!!! xx

So you just leave the edge of the tulle raw? Are their issues with rolling or unraveling?

@fashionstoryteller

5 жыл бұрын

Hello Becky, there are no issues with the tulle unraveling or rolling. Many evening wear gowns and bridal gowns leave a plain tulle edge, depending on the look you are going for. If you would like to have a finished edge, there are two options you could try: you could use lace scallop trim to go around the edges and conceals the raw edge of the tulle. If you prefer no scallop edging (like this design), you could use the picot or rolled hemmed setting on your serger. This creates a different look which you may love for your design! Hope this helps! xx

I would ask and see! And so sweet of you to make her dress. Very special! I made my own wedding dress too and it's something I will also cherish. Huge congratulations to your daughter, as well!
