DIY Maxi Dress: Jessica Dress Pattern Review

[@komplxity]

I have this pattern and still haven't used it. I think that it will be my next project. I've been out of the loop of sewing for so long now, hope it turns out as great as yours.

[@pheebelikes3500]

Love the dress pattern. Especially paired with Jeans.

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you!

[@mercyseidlitz2846]

I followed mimis instructions also. Nice choice of fabric and your statement necklace look so cool

[@ToniSheltonn]

mercy Seidlitz one day I will be able to use patterns lol.

[@mercyseidlitz2846]

lol i think u can is just u reading the instructions, i didnt find it easy using a pattern in the past but with time i did, I also make my own patterns when I wanna sew but at times I find it easy to buy already made patterns to make the workload less. to say the truth I learned all even pattern making on youtube I must say it not easy to make videos and edit them for our view what Mayo and the rest of the teachers I learned from teaching online made life easy for me really appreciate the good work they do.

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you!!!

Fashionista Toni Same here!!

[@MontoyaMayo]

LOL. When I first started sewing I took on hard projects and I must say it helped my sewing skills. Through trial and error, I have come a long way. I still take my time and spend days working on a garment, I have to work in small chunks to reach my goal

[@nicolesandy-stevenson1657]

[@MckinleyDiva]

On average what are general prices u are willing to spend on fabric? Im Just getting into sewing as well and what to know on average what are the prices one should spend, especially on ankara fabric. You are such an inspiration! These pieces are amazing!

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you so much!!! I generally spend about $7-$8 a yard on Ankara fabric. For 6 yard bundles I pay about $35-$45.

[@mayawallace7627]

Please please do anything for maternity clothes!

[@MontoyaMayo]

Maybe a nice cute maxi dress! Great idea.

[@JenniferAnidu]

Beautiful dress

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you!

[@takeishat6964]

Do you have a tip or trick to soften wax fabric?

[@MontoyaMayo]

I notice that sometimes when I iron my wax prints they tend to soften up. Certain wash cycle settings. I'd test a patch with different iron temperatures.

[@babysaphire87]

Can you please show us your version. Especially switching the pockets and making the buttons

[@MontoyaMayo]

I added my pockets the same way in my gathered maxi tutorial, you can find the video here on my channel. In the future I can make a tutorial on button holes, I love that idea

[@dannimakesstuff]

Please tell us where the fabric is from😍😍😍😍

[@MontoyaMayo]

I bought it from House of Mami Wata on Etsy.com. This one is sold out unfortunately, however I linked some similar options in the blog post.

can u show how you sew your items?

[@MontoyaMayo]

Hi there, I have tutorials for most of my items, but I don't have the time to make tutorials for everything I sew, so I've started making pattern reviews to help compensate for that

[@marydominiquebadillalopezr1557]

what kimd of fabric did you use?

[@MontoyaMayo]

This is a kente print, it's 100% cotton (woven). I have links for similar fabric on my blog.
