I MADE THE DRESS!! It was so simple to make with her guidelines, usually I always find the fabric tooo tight or loose but luckily her measurements matches mine and it’s all just perfect!!! . I love the fact that all the patterns are so adjustable. Totally recommend making this!! Love your video XX 🍓💌

Oh my goodness this is the dress I had when there was a dance in 1959 advancing to 7th grade. You did such a beautiful job thank you for showing this project. It took me back to such pleasant memories. We used coffee and tea all the time in addition with vegetables to die our fabric and fabric shoes to match the dresses. Perfect length and the fit is right on. Thank you again

[@kookiecookie1740]

I'm so glad this turned up on my recommended, the dress looks AMAZING. I have to agree with you ab the cut of the dress, the way you kind of changed the waistline makes it so much more flattering. ❤️

Ahh thank you so much!!☺️

[@eishazahid8724]

I really wish I understood what you are saying half the time whilst making the dress cause I want to try make it for my friend but I legit don't know anything you just said like what's a basting stitch, darts???, I don't even k n o w

[@IJUSTNEEDASTUPIDUSERNAME]

Basting stitches are long running stitches (just going in and out of the fabric). Because the stitches are so long if you pull on the threads it will gather or pull the material together. You also use it to hold fabric pieces together before you sew on the machine so the pieces don’t shift. A dart adds shape to the fabric. So for example if you put one at the bust line, you’ll see a stitch that forms a triangle, with the triangle point ending at the bust. A visual is probably better. They’re are so many sewing tutorials out there for beginners. I started with a simple circle skirt!

[@eishazahid8724]

Flashback to 1990s: My daughters' English/History assignment for Elementary school. Soaking paper in cookie sheet pans filled with tea or coffee overnight. Then burning all the edges with birthday candles. The latter done outside as neighbors walked by with their dogs in the morning. My kids were offered helpful advice on how to use India ink and goose quill pens. 🍄🍄 Matcha tea for green and onion skins for yellow were cool alternative colors. Congratulations on your family support 💓 Take care and be safe 😷

Try adding loads if salt into your dye mix. Salt helps the pigment adhere to the fabric better. I've always had much better results with natural dying when using salt. Fresh nettles make a great green pigment too.
