There is now an amazing built in bra hack for this pattern! You can look up hallon built in bra hack!

I’m about to start my journey. Stitching the bra strap on incorrectly is something I now will watch carefully. LOL. Fun, yet informative video. Thanks.

It looks fabulous!

Hello Mari, I sent you an email about Dress a Girl Around the World yesterday.

Easy. Nice dress

I made the magma pants and I added pockets a d a zipper. I guess I used less stretchy elastic and I don’t have that same issue. My current issue is if they will be clam digger length or shorts. I think longish shorts.

Clappers are castanets

How can I send my dresses to project dress a project?

Beautiful little dresses. I am already making dresses for this year, such fun and for a good cause.

I switched from a Brother Inovis F420 to a Bernette B77 * made by Bernina * and I LOVE it. I'm going for the Bernina that you have, but the price was just too steep for me. I am now very happy not to have got the Bernina and instead chose the Bernette B77. What also made me decide against the Bernina is the high prices for extra feet, bobbins.... My Bernette B77 has a drop in bobbin and the machine tells me when it is almost empty, the same goes for the top thread. It has many functions of the Berninas. I have no regrets.

I got McCalls 8418 and 7558; Simplicity 9318; and Butterick 6201.

Your dealer can order the feet and they will ship them to you.

Beautiful color. I love this outfit on you

Love, love, love that peachy-orange dress you made! You are the best, Mari!🥰🥰🥰

Will we have a Project dress a girl 2024. I am making some dresses in advance. I am from Québec, Canada so I would like to know who would be the ambassador.

Can you recommend a quick pattern with a twirl skirt? Idk I know they’re happy to have functional but there’s magic in the twirl. 😂🎉

Those blue shorts look like they used some electric blue lining fabric! What were they thinking?

Why didn’t you just get a JUKI TL-2000Qi ($799) or a Brother PQ1600S ($999)? A semi-industrial straight stitch machine is made for heavy-weight materials and is perfect for purses and bag projects. If you wanted a non-straight stitch machine, you could have gotten the Janome Memory Craft 6650, which also handles anything you throw at it. The high-priced Bernina machines have gone downhill in terms of longevity due to a lack of quality control and poor craftsmanship. Plus, the inside shell of the Bernina 535 isn’t all hard metal to handle tough jobs in the long term. The sewing machine motor, type of gears, and metal frame front and back will determine how the machine will perform with different types of materials and the number of layers. That said, you may be lucky to get three years of use with any of the Bernina sewing machines before things start to fail. But I wish you all the best and hope it lasts for many years to come😎

You make it looks so easy. Thank you, this is very helpful 😊

Hi..I would like to sew these dresses and I know I will need some tags...how do I get them ..thankyou.

This sounds like a great machine! ❤

I love the idea of reversible dresses and I think the little girls ( and their Mums ) that they are going to receive them will love the 2 in 1 style as well. As for 2 sheer fabrics to make them I guess as long as they are cotton and will hold up to many many washes, some potentially in rivers/being rubbed on rocks etc it's a great way of using the fabrics you love but are borderline too sheer to be ok on their own.

I'm only seeing the bottom of the dresses. I do not see the tops at all. Which is what I need to see. Please consider standing and hold it up higher than your neck.Thank you.

Great room. I got a lot of craft organizers from Temu also.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful patterns.

Great info., great energy. Enjoyable site.

Can this method be used for facing instead of lining?

OK, doing 3X the length LOL

Won't they order a foot for you?

Here in Grand Junction CO the bobbins cost $23 for 5

I am almost done with this dress. I just need to sew on the second button placket and wishing I had shortened the bodice as well. I am only 5’1. The waist does sit above my belly button, but would be nice it the bodice was shorter. Not sure if I should undo the placket and shorten it eeeek.

Great tutorial for a beginner like me! Thanks! I loved it!

I have now owned three machines that I hate. Two were Viking and one Jacome. At least the Jacome did a nice job BUT it constantly goes out of adjustment costing me $100.00 each time. I have stopped sewing. I was on a Zoom with my quilting friends and each person did a show and tell of their sewing rooms. OMG I noticed that they did most of them were on older machines! I remembered my mom's Singer that I used for years (until my sister stole it) I oiled it, etc. but it was never serviced! I also became annoyed with the sound of modern machines having learned to sew with the nice "sing" sound of a Singer. A repair shop has told me that they will teach me how to adjust the Jacome and now I lust after a Singer 401a and of course, a 200, they Rolls Royce of any machine. I do not know what kind of Singer my mom had, but her nice furniture for it implies a 200.
