DIY Creating a Dress Inspired by The Hunger Games !

[@elbowsbuns1896]

I will never get tired of him saying "press it flat and ✨beautiful ✨"

[@leilalee5976]

YASSSSS I’m new to this channel and already I’m OBSESSED 🤩 🥰🥰🔥

[@elizabethbiederman8035]

Oh thank God I’m not the only one lol.

[@dIVin3lYCi]

YESSSSSS!!!

[@tanyacoutinhoevaz2710]

me too

[@rapunzelrose68]

Definitely

[@NotThatAmber]

Watching this really gave me some “ah ha” moments about sewing! Thank you! I’m really looking forward to that sewing class you are developing.

[@cherr1982]

*pokes head up* Sewing class???

[@persephone2706]

You too? I had the so many ah ha moments as well!

[@NotThatAmber]

@@cherr1982 Several months ago (I can’t remember when exactly) he posted a link on Instagram to a survey about a class he was developing. I’m hoping he’s still planning on doing it.

[@wishingwell_333]

@@cherr1982 I think it's up now !

[@marievalderhaug3907]

Was there any class??? Will there be a class?😳😱😍

[@trancedoutkid]

I've never sewn a single thing in my life but that hasn't stopped me from watching all your videos and being obsessed with your work! This is such talent. I love.

[@disneyrockz12]

Well well well, if it ain’t Señor Señor Jr.

[@jessicatran9139]

I'll say go for it. Family had discouraged me from doing any Juki sewing machine but I'm will slowly go by hand sewing and personal sewing machine and make it by actually learning and doing them. It takes time even watching the process can ignite a thrive for taking a leap by starting small projects you enjoy.

[@jessicasance2357]

I know nothing about sewing, but you make me want to know. I definitely know that I love watching you work and that you are an amazing artist!

[@parasocial2375]

Exactly!

[@jessicatran9139]

I as well, i am still learning how to sew by hand. More i watch he's video the more i want to get more knowledge of fashion sewing skills one day at a time.

[@danielllleX]

Came to the comments to say this. I love watching his videos, and I know nothing about sewing whatsoever, though I do love fashion❤

[@MsGaella]

How do you account for different body sizes with your one manikin when laying the fabric on?

[@georgie8397]

I'd love for u to make a video on how you construct your patterns and darts!! Also where u keep all ur projects:))

[@clarethalvarez4024]

Yes, please do!

[@7xxKxx709]

Yasss

[@7xxKxx709]

He either sells them or maybe like attic or something storage? Maybe even throwing them out?

[@jessicatran9139]

That will be interesting, it is quite hard to start out with where do i put them and how the patterns are made by scratch, or without buying the patterns. It is lovely process as i usually watch mother doing a paper garment (sorry forgot what's it called) layout that stream cuts the fabrics.

[@lindarosenthal6835]

‘I’m very detailed oriented’. Says the man whose nail polish coordinates perfectly with the fabric he is sewing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marshapayne1165]

I'm obsessed with, your voice, your words...'flat and beautiful' and especially your creations.

[@Emma-td8bb]

I cannot sew to save my life but here I am watching all of your videos after getting addicted to your KZbin shorts!🤩😂 These are more than just dresses- they are works of art!

[@mahoradewes3212]

I appreciate the attention you give to detail(s) while you sew. You also talk and include helpful hints. I find what you do and design really inspirational. Thankyou for sharing your gift.

[@naomigarrett5087]

I'm so confused as to why this guy does not have more subscribers, these videos are so awesome and so addicting!

[@EEsmalls]

I love how I'll nod my head with a contemplative look on my face while you talk, like I totally know how to sew and understand you perfectly lol. In reality these kinds of skills are foreign to me, but watching a master make wearable art is so calming.

[@tinaanderson7812]

Dear Gunther, I’m a black woman and trained in costume construction. I have to tell you that I LOVE your style. Your attention to detail, matching your nail polish to your fabrics and your 💋jewelry! Would love to meet you (I’m in Austin TX)! Blessings on blessings on blessings to you!!!💃🏽 You add so much joy to life by being your authentic self. Shine my brother SHINE ON ✨!!!!

[@jonathansansoucie5378]

Whoever disliked this doesn't deserve his fabulousness

[@spacecadet3416]

I'd watch an hour long video of this. Love watching how you piece things together. Love the voice over. Love your flare. I'm looking forward to what comes next.

[@traviscock9043]

This gives me all the Alexander McQueen vibes I needed. Brilliant

[@Fyreflyy1]

"I just want to make what inspires me" Words I should live by. I have so many ideas that I am in love with, but because of some health stuff I can't spend much time working on things right now (and before my excuse was little time becof work) so I tell myself that no matter how much I love my idea it's not "practical" it's too "weird" or "no one else will like it but you" So even though I have the fabric and everything ready to actually sew it, I don't. Thanks for in inspiring quote.

[@DinFL]

That dress is gorgeous. The fabric alone is divine.

[@nishthatiwari3676]

The complete making … right from the inspiration to the final output… It’s so informative, different and creative. WOW … ❤️

[@sarahdeason493]

I love watching anything Gunnar creates .. My respect level for him is off the chart .. His work is beyond awe inspiring ..

[@Gunso790]

My mom is a tailor and my childhood were so familiar with the tools you use. Really love to see designer that sew their craft on KZbin like you. Giving me a sense of nostalgia plus your dresses are gorgeous.

[@sarahb7254]

I love this dress. The pattern, the shape... its stunning

[@DavidSL64]

I love that dress. It gives me so much inspiration to see you create it from scratch, develop the pattern and sew it. I’m just getting back into sewing from 40 years ago, and you’ve provided such inspiration to me.

[@DipityS]

Gorgeous! Such beautiful use of the unique fabric and colour - definitely brims with the feel of the Capital.

[@naomigarrett5087]

I would love to see him try to construct a dress out of a bunch of his scrap fabric

[@shaminyclone989]

I'm so glad to see someone doing their OWN thing!! U absolutely killed this dress btw😍😍

[@DawnOldham]

I hope you end up rocketing to a million subscribers this year! You truly deserve it. Thank you for making these longer videos, too!

[@treeknome2642]

This tickles my fashion designer intuition that I haven’t given space and time for lately. Thank you for being an inspiration.

[@shanasheinfeld6006]

The shorts are great for those ADD moments, but I love the longer videos, where you get into the details more.

[@joskubl6017]

You make amazing clothing. I love how your grandmother and mother supported you so much 💖 Love the final look of the dress. I can also envision it with a pencil skirt under layer for an evening gown look too. You are re-inspiring my own sewing story

[@-carliemay-3725]

I can’t- how does every single one of the dresses he makes come out flawless

[@tinaanderson7812]

I do agree that you are best when authentic! Love this dress.

[@caroleanderson4020]

You are my ideal sewing teacher. Thank you! I love your projects, I love your explanations + your videos are so elegant & succinct.

[@alanfern2800]

This dress is beyond stunning❤️

[@maryg3143]

Awesome video! I had no idea of the pattern process. The dress is spectacular. Thank you for showing and explaining!

[@rylynnjo1977]

I just happened to stumble across your channel an now I’m totally binge watching you I love the full Length videos

[@christinelane9510]

You're so inspiring. Keep on sewing beautiful pieces.

[@katrinashostakovich3607]

The dress reminds me of a sexy female cheetah with the long torso and the ruffle skirt. God you're talented

[@ellaluhn1285]

Love watching your longer tutorials!!

[@jennym007]

Love it! You are so, so talented!!! Thanks for making longer videos for us to enjoy. 💕💕

[@sherryangela7455]

I love your full length videos, and you are just amazing at what you do. Personally, I think you should have won on project runway, their loss. But yeah, I have a small like mini sewing machine that I have never used and you are inspiring me to finally learn to use it. I learned to see when I was a child, my grandmother taught me. But I have forgotten how, so definitely going to be picking that up soon. Thank you for what you do and you ROCK ❤️

[@sueb.6595]

Love to watch you create and sew these fabulous dresses!

[@melissakeller3628]

I just love your dresses. Thank you for taking the time to share how you make them.

[@catcar8212]

Hi Gunnar, O M G... your Hunger Games creation is so glamorous. Could be worn with stilletos or combat boots, glam glam or grunge glam. Your long videos go by as fast as your shorts!! It's a nice surprise when a new dress hits my feed. I've always found construction fun, but your level is through the roof!🌷🌷🌷

[@granifulano]

another winner, Gunnar! I love how you simplify the complex!

[@leilalee5976]

The barbie dress brought me here followed by the tick tick compilation and then this and OMG what can u day your voice is really soothing and I love watching your creations your super talented and you make me want to see new sucriber here this isn’t normal the sort of content I would look for but damn I have actually found a new love 😍😍😍 watch this space whilst I binge watch your videos 🔥🔥🔥

[@deem3204]

I really admire your work and appreciate the fact that you show and highlight how you press the seems open after you sew them closed. There’s another sewing channel I watch and the seamstress doesn’t press the seams open and it drives me crazy. Even though her creations are beautiful, they don’t appear crisp to me. Great dress! 😍❤️💕

[@lea6865]

You are so talented! And you inspire me with every garment you make Gunner!

[@Kiddos154]

This Perfection is what I have seen My Mother do when she is creating amazing garments .. and Now YOU.. no one else I’ve noticed to put emphasis on neatness !

[@Cracrapups]

A beautiful scene for a beautiful dress!!!!

[@janrussell5415]

You are an absolute genius. I am in awe of your extraordinary talent. Thank you..

[@cherishsweet6498]

Gunnar! Sooo excited to see you on KZbin! 😁😁😁 The technical is awesome, but so is your personality so let it shine bright! 🥰

[@micheydevita183]

I looove your creative process, your commentary as you execute your vision and elegant hands. U are Sew special 💖💖💖

[@JosieStev]

Fabulous! I was a teen in the Eighties. Hunger Games Cap, similar but weirder. Your dress is best!

[@hermajesty52]

Thank you so much for the commentary. As a pretty accomplished home sewer-it’s like going to grad school for me 🧐

[@jeniferalvarez2914]

It’s so pretty! I can’t wait for you to share more full length videos!

[@mitsuomits9077]

This drees is stunning. I would've loved to see the back of it. But the colors and the tailoring is just perfect!!!!

[@lynnanderson9626]

Love your work and energy that Steel Gray wedding dress Was everything

[@sarahmallonee]

Your so talented and you blow me away more and more with every video. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations with all of us. Bless you sweetie☺

[@cheekypiper512]

Incredible. Loved the detailed description.

[@lauranyc4966]

I’m so glad KZbin suggested your channel 🙏🏻👍🏻♥️

[@lynng510]

Vintage couture dresses, by Worth for example, always had those seams pressed and even sewn down. You know how important it was for those Victorian ladies to have a nice smooth fit. Figure flattering and very slimming but also let you admire the shape of the dress and how it lay on the body. Kudos to you

[@tinabilledeaux1510]

Wow! You really know your craft. It's entertaining and inspiring to watch.

[@erickajstevens5737]

Fabulous!!! 🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤 I love extra time you spend on the intricate details and making sure to press everything beautiful!!! Also loving your nails and polish color!!! 💅🏻

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

My serger is just a Brother, but I have had it for nearly 10 years and it works, a 4 cone type. Then there is my Bernina which I bought new in 1976! It is a real trooper! I have never tried a gathering foot! The dress turned out amazing!!

[@bevwannamaker1119]

Love it! I am so inspired watching you work even if its not anything I would wear, I enjoy watching how you create garments

[@azphibian]

I really enjoyed seeing a longer process of you sewing💫. I love your work.🌻😁

[@sarahstorrs9782]

Wow... Absolutely stunning!

[@sharencornils8091]

Gunnar you're what my husband calls a Creative Fabric Engineer. Amazing work.

[@mowganashwey]

THE PIN TWIST!! I don't make garments but I alter for myself, and what a lovely tip! Maybe something that a person above beginner would know, but these tips are why I love your work. Edit, part of why. These videos are hypnotizing.

[@avivamae5171]

Every single video you have the most gorgeous nails, polish, shape everything, and never a chip in sight! Just wanted to say that I love your polish choices they're always so moody and beautiful! Oh and I subscribed obviously and if I can share a small suggestions it's to make thd ending of the video where you show off the finished product slightly longer so we can enjoy it a bit more. Best wishes :)

[@sinceritybaldwin4147]

This is such a gorgeous dress!! I learned so much- you explained things so well...everything just clicked in my mind... it all made sense . Thank you so much ❤️

[@kcanded]

That fabric is unnnnbelievable, incredible, wow. Thanks for the long video showing us your process! (I hate zippers too).

[@crisgomez7516]

This dress is stunning. I’d love to wear this

[@pennymac8948]

I learnt so many new things watching this video, and I’m a pretty experienced sewer. This is the first full length sewing video of yours that I’ve watched but it certainly won’t be the last. Thank you. 🤗

[@monaaustin7820]

I had a dress similar to this in 1986. It had large buttons (of course) down the front, 3/4 sleeves and was cotton in a turquoise (of course) and white print, and now, same tiers, same bodice but fabulously evolved by you! Bravo!

[@fashionablebri]

Love this full length video!! & gorgeous work! 👏🏾👏🏾💗

[@SugarplumFairy01]

I Love Watching You Create! Thank You So Much!

[@lbrowning2543]

Wow. Art! So beautiful.

[@alymig70]

Omg, it’s GORGEOUS. I have to slow your videos down to 75% so I can figure out what you’re doin with the whole muslin-draping-pattern-making thing. Thank you. You’re an absolute gem. ❤️

[@blessingsoutlaw]

The fabric and style are 🔥!

[@rosita3671]

Gunnar you are awesome👏👏🌟🏵 Thank you for sharing every bit of how you create a dress! GENIUS 🎉 You are a brilliant teacher too! Much of what you share …I learnt many moons ago. by my mistakes. I didn’t have anyone to teach me…and was fearful of making a mistake, so I followed the store bought pattern “to the letter”. After many many years and through trial and error my projects became more relaxed…I became more adventurous! I smile when you give us your “pearls of wisdom” and I mean this as a compliment 💛🌟! If those who are learning from you follow your suggestions they will learn the ‘right way’ of 🧵 🪡 , and avoid making many errors.

[@jessicatran9139]

I love the sound of the seaming from the sewing machine. If 15 hrs, I'd definitely love to watch at each pace segments. But it is up to the youtuber to decide what best for your videos. If in the fabric stores, esp from LA market plazas I'd will like to see how you will bargain down to around 20$ less. Plus I'd have a habit of going for bundles so it gonna be tough if going for contour drapery sewing dress. So, doing the needed measures and limited budget of how much to spend in the fabric store is gonna be hard if it like shopping in similar to candy/toy stores. And yas i will definitely iron the edges seams to have a best results. Thank you for showing your set of sewing skills. You're awesome keep it up and express to your heart content through your dresses. Thank you.

[@jessicatran9139]

I also wish to know how the process of cleaning these fashion clothes, the garment or dry cleaners and hand-wash, what can it be prolong for a long time. I always worry mostly on good habits of preserving and upkeeping it including wash/dry laundry process. It is important to maintain the best solution for not tearing the beautiful clothes. Any suggestions on most of the dresses and fashion clothes you do? Sorry if not understanding i can rephrase it.

[@VenetiaTrentalance]

Wow congrats on 1M Gunner! Luv all ur outfits u make!

[@mowganashwey]

Cheetah in the wild is perfect for this dress. Besides the print, it's wild, playful, and sexy in an understated way. You are amazing! I know nothing about fashion, but I'm obsessed

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

As a former fat kid from the 80s and early 90s… I’d have KILLED for a dress like that and a body that fit into it around 91’-92’ 😜😜 At THIS point in my life.. I only can say it’s STUNNING and the design is absolutely the fodder of dreams especially for those of us from those days 😍.. Granted.. I was a complete tomboy and only gave 1/2 a crap about dresses when I was upper class high school age.. because.. boys.. 🙄.. and have probably only owned a dozen dresses in my entire life.. but.. I KNOW a killer kick a$$ one when I see it!! Especially when it takes a LOT for me to even care 😜 Love all your stuff Gunnar.. you’re a treat! 💕💕

[@ericknece6157]

Incredible! Take it from someone who is obsessed with the hunger games I think this resembles the capitol people so much

[@cherr1982]

Love. Love! LOVE!! Please more videos like this.

[@ostarareign2341]

I am so in love with this dress!

[@candelariamigliaro1415]

Absolutely incredible

[@mowganashwey]

I'd love for longer videos, you have a lovely voice and I would definitely watch in full and then replay to sleep to! I do with a lot of my favorite creators 😝 even the same type videos with voiceover peppered in! If you are ever interested, you definitely have the audience for longform content. You make me want to create, even if I'm just altering an existing garment in some way, sketching something, or styling myself in a way I never would. ABOVE ALL, thank you for sharing your work with us ❤️ you'll probably never see this, but your videos make me happy, so thank you.

[@askmethebossmom5433]

I loved the cool tip on the brocade. Thank you.

[@charlottelong7655]

This dress is one of my favourite dresses no to sure it would look as amazing on me than on the dress maker 🌸🌸🇬🇧

[@kaarlimakela3413]

I learned a lot in this video, and I look forward to the tips and secrets now. I actually feel more confident!

[@scampjac]

Love that nail polish! Gorgeous dress!

[@athena4665]

I love the hunger games book series and the movies٫ you put a beautiful spin on it 🏹😁

[@blueclarity]

I think a large part of the population vastly underestimates the intelligence and skill that goes into this. I have to say DAMN ... and nicely done 💙✌

[@ThisismeDesign]

You are amazing and I really love your videos. So inspired to hurry up and start on a new project as well! Can’t wait to see more of your videos and take in all the tricks and tips you got. Thankful for the thing you said about the pins, to wiggle it a little bit. Such a great one! And hell yeah, I rather break a needle than get something stitched all wrong. Keep doing you and I hope to see some more sewing by you. And the dress is absolutely gorgeous 👏

[@doucevasion]

the amount of effort you put to make this dress tho ♡ this is absolutely gorgeous

[@meganmartin1604]

I love the tiktok videos cuz they’re so fast and pretty. But the KZbin videos with the details of everything you’re thinking and doing is really cool.

[@Bexx74]

I prefer these longer videos with more explanation. Wonderful job
