The red dress is fire!!!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you. I love it so much, Carmen!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

I love the red dress best. It looks so much better than the dress on the pattern. So glad we are doing a sew along again.

[@dmssimp8362]

Absolutely stunning, I love them all. That red dress is gorgeous. Red is my favorite color ❤ thanks for always sharing.

Love them all, but the red dress is a show stopper

[@patriciaaaron5626]

I absolutely love the red. Yes, THE shoes!

[@Stumble.guy2]

Anita, every garment you sewed and modeled fit you to perfection. I don’t have a favorite except to say the pink coat was really pretty and a fav color of mine lately. You are a gorgeous Godly woman! Hope to see more videos soon, too. I miss them! Have a great spring. Here in Northern Indiana it’s finally warming up with green grass and flowers and trees bursting forth. God is Great!

[@AnitabyDesign]

You are so welcome

[@lindawhite1187]

All of them are beautiful but I have to say that Red Dress is stunning love ❤️ it you are truly gifted 🥰

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much!!

[@DeCampbell]

All of the garments are adorable! The red dress is my favorite but I love that blush coat as well. I might have to backtrack and take your course. Much more is being offered than basic information. Great choices, sewing skills, and gorgeous looks!!!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you, De! You are very skilled in sewing, so the fact that you would even consider my course is a HUGE compliment.

[@VivaSewStyle]

All the pieces are so high end. Great job sewing and styling

[@AnitabyDesign]

Yeeesss! Thank you so much.

[@mimiharbor8754]

I love the coat. I want to try that.

[@stitchy_linn]

Love the coat and red dress!

[@mjcallahan11]

I love everything you make!

[@zainylainy1]

Who wouldn’t love that red dress? you look amazing in it. I’d love to sew that red dress that I got a lose about 10 more pounds.

[@e.m.2042]

You are so classy and talented

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you ❤

[@marinelab]

Even if I know how to sew and even draft my own patterns, your online class looks amazing! My favorite is the red dress, but all the other makes are great!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much!💕💕💕

[@nyeshajamerson1490]

I'm inspired 😀😀😀😀

[@naomibonilla7605]

Although I love everything you have sewn and how professionally finished they are, I love the blush coat and whitejean pants the best because it would be something more practical for me.

[@patriciau6277]

Truly a class act!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much ❤

[@susanneatwell-keister3479]

"Yes ma'am, the shoes." Yes ma'am! 🔥 beautiful garments!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much, Pammi! 💕

[@debbierenee7896]

All beautiful makes Anita! Love all of the fabrics. What a Hobby Lobby find!...I must be going to the wrong one😊

[@capricegray4045]

As usual Ms. Anita your makes are fabulous. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the jogger . I love a cargo pant . Thank you for always bringing us style and grace .

[@AnitabyDesign]

You are so welcome! Yes, the jogger set is so awesome. I will be wearing it for years to come.

[@budoneof15]

I love the Ted dress. I have never been able to select fabric.

[@rhondagarden8878]

GORGEOUS!!❤❤❤ I was thinking as you were modeling the red dress how the drape in front would be good for hiding a little tummy bump!😅

[@helenfillmore3063]

Love the red dress!

[@berdiabeard4960]

I enjoy watching you sew. I really want to find and learn how to sew a pephulm blouse and dress. I hope I spelled it right. I liked the red dress.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Drop dead RED...you betta werk.

[@AnitabyDesign]

I just cracked up laughing! 😂

[@shirpen2]

❤I said the same thing, that red dress is 💣

[@jamesolson7179]

Very nice.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Just found your channel.... and LOVE your t-shirt!!!!!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much, Dori!

[@vickidame6487]

You are a fantastic sewist! I love following you and first saw your Vlog at your sad time. So glad you are doing well. Would have loved to hear you speak!

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much!

[@theresa-terrieharmon2571]

I ❤️ your sewing projects! I’m really partial to your beautiful blush-colored coat. What type of fabric did you use? It looks like a cashmere-type of fabric. I would love for you to do a video on tailoring techniques.

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much. I used a blush boucle for the coat. I shared the details for the fabric in the blog post.The link is in the description box.

[@kimberlymcclure7644]

Love all your projects. I purchased the machine you have and love it. I did a project of making some curtains when I had to stop in the middle - due to the bobbin and thread connection issue.

[@katherineblue4931]

I used to see my own garments as a teen/young adult. Then it was the kids’ turn for sleepers, jogging sets etc. When I did attempt to get back to sewing for myself, I wasn’t the standard pattern size and found that I had so many alterations to make It became too daunting and my last dress (I was so excited about) looked like a house dress 😂. And another struggle is lack of brick and mortar fabric shops where I am and shipping costs plus the uncertainty of shopping online easily discourages me. So these days there is no garment sewing but maybe a little quilt work. Seeing the success of your beautiful garments was inspiring. I think my fav was the coat. Stunning! And congrats on your course. (I used to teach the Kids Can Sew program). Can’t tell you how many folk I’ve come across who will donate a garment because they don’t even know how to sew a button on. I wish you much success and you will be a wonderful instructor for these newbies.

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you, Katherine. Just a note: You can order swatches of fabric at some online fabric stores so you can get a feel for the fabric. But I totally understand wanting to touch it in person first.

[@lynetterene]

Hey sis......awesome to see you back on KZbin. I know you have been extremely busy, but thanks for taking the time to share with us your beautiful garments. That coat I still can't believe you made it....the two piece....I would love to try to make the pants......the red dress.....you are wearing it to life❤ Love them all, love you sis 💜😊

[@AnitabyDesign]

Hey sis! Thank you so much 🤗

[@carolcarter865]

You are such a beautiful person

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much.💕

[@gwendolynhemphill9082]

I love your personal style. How do you get your clothes to fit so professionally?😊 I have been watching your videos for a couple of years and always a perfect fit.😀

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you Gwendolyn. I make pattern adjustments where necessary.

[@deidrabenson361]

❤️❤️❤️

[@manymoms920]

I've just started watching your videos. Thank you so much. I live in rural devon Uk. Impossible to find classes so I'm a fan now. I love learning about the US. What I would love to know is, if were to buy five patterns what should they be ? To give best bang for my buck as you say, suitable for a beginner

[@AnitabyDesign]

I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel. The five patterns I would choose are 2 basic skirts, basic cardigan, basic dress, basic shirt

[@marionbrown1040]

Can we get some information on the crocheted hat?

[@AnitabyDesign]

I made the hat years ago when I learned how to crochet. I love it.

[@marionbrown1040]

Yes, I made it years ago. It's one of my favorites.

[@lorinejones4883]

Hello Anita I am getting angry with myself for not knowing how to sew , how I would want to sew. I love classic fashion and would really love to make clothes that fit. How do I access your sewing course. I’m not a beginner as per say. But, I know I will benefit from any beginners advice. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you soon. x

[@sbaumgartner9848]

You look great in everything you wear and I love your warm personality. Your fleece outfit looks very professionally made which is hard to do with fleece. You've clearly learned the techniques required. How were you able to tell the difference between lower quality and high quality fleece? I just looked at your web site. I think you've nailed using a Cover Stitch machine. And to my surprise given you live in the USA, you ordered the fleece from Cove Fabrics in Montreal Canada. That's great to know for us Canadians. You do such a thorough job of your videos and web site. Thank you Anita. 🪡🪡🪡

[@AnitabyDesign]

Thank you so much. What made the difference for me with the fleece is the way it feels on my body. I could tell when I took it from the package that it was different. There's a beautiful softness and drape that I don't remember feeling or seeing in other fleece. YES, Core Fabrics is in your home town.
