I picked up sewing for my daughter recently and completed my first CC project! I made the Lucy jumper and it’s absolutely adorable on her. It was a joy to work on and she loved seeing her new dress come together as I worked on it. We are excited to dive into more projects!

Finally got to visit CC and it was amazing!! ❤

I'm hopeful that the needle arts will survive the 21st century.

How do i find the video lesson?

Thanks so much. I just got a second-hand pleater and thought I couldn't use it without a dowel. This helps!

Thank you so much for this!

Thanks for the shoutout!!

Doesn’t the glue gum up the needle?

How do I know if I have the old pattern?

Such an excellent tutorial. Thank you!

Woah! My grandma loves sewing 💘

That's the BEST and EASIEST placket tutorial I've ever found on the internet! Thank you for explaining it so well.

Really like this technique. I am new to smocking so these videos helps a lot. Question. Did you remove the pleating threads before ironing the freezer paper or do you remove them after the pieces are sewn together? Thank you.

Is digital? How much? Size 3 & 4

What is the book thanks

Thank you so much! I have never made a pretty placket in 14 years! I watched this and I just made the prettiest placket!!

Amazing technique!

Great video. Clear and concise.

👏🏻👗

Thank you! I learn so much here. More than in the pattern making class. 🌷

Thank you for responding. Much appreciated ❤

I do t understand what the point is to cut the lining shorter than pants when you matched up the bottoms…and it looked like the top/waistband also matched?

Melissa, I am working on my first Nora right now! Too late to alter length. Do you think a shortened bodice looks better on a 3 year old? I was wondering if drop waist was too grown up.

Did you make your blouse?! So pretty!

Thank you for sharing this fun, but tiring adventure!

What batting do you recommend? Thanks so much!

That's good to know! I recently got into string art and it seems some of the kits come with this type of string. I'll keep this in mind the next time I find myself using these

Thank you for sharing! 😊❤

Thank you for sharing this. 😊❤

Hello! I taught French hand sewing, duplicate stitch, and smocking in the 1980’s. I was living in VA and took classes from Elizabeth Johnson, Kitty Benton, Margaret Boyle, etc. I’m very familiar with using Bee’s wax while sewing. My chatelaine (that I still use) had a Bee Thread Waxer attached. I loved and still do love using the bee’s wax to condition my threads before any needlework. Does anyone still use a Chatelaine?

Tutorial is great

Looks great! Thank you for such a great tutorial. Do you have a tutorial for sewing pillows that have the inside flap that goes over the pillow so the pillow is not seen?

What brand marker are you using please.

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve watched you do it so many times but never could get the hang of it. I believe with these excellent directions I could finally get it done!❤❤❤😊

Loved the tutorial. I am going to try this.

This is adorable ❤

This is an excellent idea. I’ve already showed it to my granddaughter and my great niece. One question……. The interfacing to reinforce the pocket top was this on the inside of the dress? To show when turned inside out? Or was it on the actual pretty side of the fabric to be covered up by the pocket. I prefer a clean inside. I love the side pocket version of this as well. My granddaughter wants it exactly like this. She’s 6.

This is really beautiful and so easy! I will do this on my next mak, for sure 😊

Thank you for the demonstration! I was wondering how sturdy that finish is. Could you tell me if it snags easily? It looks kinda delicate

What is the featured fabric you show Ruthie in?

Hi! I’m a first-time viewer of your channel. I’m curious . . . is this video sponsored by DMC or does it just happen to be the brand you prefer? I kept wondering why you continued to refer to “embroidery floss” as DMC. It makes me think that you’re pushing the brand. Please don’t take offense; I really am just curious. Thanks for sharing this method. 🙂

It looks like you are using perle cotton, not embroidery floss. Is that correct?

Thank you so much for sharing this! Baby doll, Barbie doll, 18-inch dolls, baby clothes and little girl clothing are my favorite sewing projects! This method will work on all of them! ❤❤❤

I just received this pattern and was so relieved that I didn’t have to trace the size I needed separately. I’m making this dress in three sizes and really appreciate that the sizes are separated.

What size / thickness of DMC floss is best for this technique?

I would be interested to know how you finish off the scalloped edge and how you secure off the floss ! Love this idea, thank you for sharing !

I don't know what a scalloped edge looks like. You explained the set up very well but I don't see the end result in your film.

Explained so well. Thank you

Just going to do scalloped edge on a new dress, now i have a better one to do :) Thank you!!!
