DIY Wrap Dress from a No-Instructions Pattern! 🙈

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

UPDATE: a lot of you asked if it is reversible. So I wore the dress backwards so you can see what it looks like! instagram.com/p/B4wGdRxH-NN/?igshid=mjnxyrwwowpg

[@rfldss89]

Works both ways then, so cool!

IF this were to (theoretically) become a series, a) would you watch it? b) what should I call the series?? (theoretically, of course)

[@lkelly5448]

I think I saw someone (not me) say "that's sew vintage" as a name!

[@yasminnader4537]

Yes Yes Yes, I would love to watch that. I love your channel and videos.

[@umiprea]

Would definitely watch this!!!!!!!!!

[@m2917]

I would watch!

[@sarahpieraerts5781]

Oh yes I would!!!!

[@Chibihugs]

This turned out so cute. So worth the public gaze on your back. Oh my gosh, I loved the timelapse song and the skit. Finally we meet Rodavnia. Get that side hustle💙

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

😜 thank you!! & If only defeating fast fashion was as easy as out-witting Rodavnia ;) haha

[@Rachel-dx9kb]

That dress would look really cool with contrasting pockets and belt! Don’t forget to alter your pattern to match your alterations (I always forget to do this!)

[@thecanarypin-up]

* whispers * Rebecca Page Patterns has a free pattern weight pattern. It's the perfect scrap buster.

[@ulla7378]

Or just big washers from hardware store!

I use... stones

[@raraavis7782]

I use cutlery 😎

[@charlottenicholls7417]

[@AbigailD23]

The timelapse song is Oscar-worthy.

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

hahahaha thank you. I had so much time to sit and write it in my head as I was bias binding the dress... :P

[@dogvetusa]

Also the ad at the end was pretty well thought out too

[@beanthedragon2639]

The series could be called "I feel public gaze on my clothes!"

[@anijanka]

Bean The Dragon yes 😂

Bean The Dragon that’s what I was just thinking.

[@zanag.9226]

Great name!

[@lestranged]

When you finish a long complicated seam only to realize the bobbin was empty for most of it. That scream- can totally relate. Why doesn't someone invent a sewing machine that just uses two normal size spools and abolish the bobbin. The tyranny of the bobbin must end. They don't hold enough thread/ They are proprietary to specific machines, so if you have more than one machine of different models, you can't interchange the bobbins. I just freaking hate bobbins.

[@bagandbroad]

I live for your skits. And I love that this dress was such a good reminder not to give up when it seems like you’ve screwed up.

[@kobiweaver1253]

The best skill share ad ever. I love how the dress turned out!

[@honeybee1755]

I felt her pain when she realized her bobbin ran out of thred.

[@BeckyWilson123]

Empty bobbins are the bane of my life!! It is a constant bother.

[@NaysWays]

SO happy you used the floral, the final dress is beautiful! The timelapse song now needs to be part of EVERY sewing/crafting/making video ever! It's so relatable to all crafting mediums, and entertainingly educates people as to just how much time really is involved in creating good quality finished projects.

[@ivyedgington-rice6274]

I'm not sure which I love more. The shade @US elections OR the bias binding time lapse song.

[@ivygilliam5168]

You have the most creative skillshare ads I've ever seen XD

[@uwum0nster]

if the person who made the pattern/book could see their work turn into this i think theyd shed one happy tear

[@quiltingtelegraph]

It turned out so cute!! I mainly sew quilts & quilted bags but next year I want to venture into garment sewing, and you're one of my main inspirations for that ❤

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

Owhhh :D GOOD LUCK! It really isn't all that difficult. In fact, quilting seems really intimidating to me! (you have to be so accurate!) so I think you'll be fine!

[@dcinrb8538]

Binding a quilt has given you a head start on sewing bias tape to wrap dresses/skirts, sleeveless tops, retro aprons, patch pockets, potholders, etc. Just keep your extra bobbins filled and on standby. 😁

[@Crystalfav17]

Time lapse, yeah by Annika now available whenever music is found.

[@beckyboop9386]

I love that you leave in you whoopsy moments, as a new sewer I was always discouraged by these moments, but now I know that improvising is half of sewing! Thanks for the video, the dress is so cute!

[@peppybalentine711]

Haha love your "pattern weights" 💪

[@marisotoserna]

Professor pin cushion has a tutorial for some pyramid shaped fabric weights I made them using scraps and all hand sewn it was a nice break from having to take out ALL MY SEWING GEAR and I use them all the time

[@torquespectomahawk4980]

I need more of this content. It's so amusing to watch you figure out how to sew these things together.

[@redstranger07]

I'd quite like a video that showed smaller sewing finishes, like French seams and how to bias bind!

[@casarooo5704]

Omg your channel has grown so much!!

[@bubu_massa]

I just really love Annika's transparency and humor when teaching a DIY!

[@peppieluna]

That was the best Skillshare ad I've ever seen!! Also, the dress turned out so well 😍

The only advertisement I actually don't skip in KZbin videos

Pile it on... the dude just robbed the World Health Organization of $500 million during a global pandemic! Now he's claiming to have royal authority....Mitt Romney was so justified...so close to being impeached...sigh! 😭😭😭

[@Ms.Charlene1102]

Too stinkin cute. Turned out very well. Your song was awesome!! And then you have your own fabric room!!

[@frautamarabach]

that dress is extremely cute! well done! And thank you sooo much for never editing out your mishaps!

[@persomnus]

Bobbins running out and you not noticing for a long time is the manifestation of hell on earth

[@dcinrb8538]

Meg suggested "Sew Retro" Perfection! 💖 Sewing wraps in plaid (matching seams) is a special place in hell. 😈 My sister- in-laws sewed from these books in the 1980s, in Chinese! My Mom's patterns were blank tissue with no instructions... just a front and back drawing. I'm so blessed! (and loving your Time Lapse rap). Thanks 😊

[@nitsirkallday9437]

Loved the timelapse song, its a classic! Also, that 80's pattern book is amazing and I love watching you figure out what it all means. Keep it up girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gsparks8444]

This dress looks sooo good on you!!! Please make more from this book! You are so fun to watch 😅

[@DarthXerion]

1. Super cute dress. 2. Your time lapse song is amazing.

[@EvanAnnaNave]

Aaaaah, I love how this turned out! The dress is so cute 😍 Also you're so funny, thank you for making me laugh!

[@strawberrycheesecake5502]

Love the red shirt/white tights/socks outfit. You did a great job figuring this thing out. And the sketch at the end is great.

[@shadymccoy7]

It came out great, Annika! I think it should be a series!

[@Philosopanda]

[@roysflamekitten]

"UGH THE BOBBIN WENT OUT FOR ALL THAT" Happened to me so many times I am now suspicious of the thing the moment I start sewing a long strip XD

[@bluecracklegreen]

Loove how this turned out! What a sweet breezy shape too, the neckline is so nice. Would 100% watch this kinda thing again in a series, attempting to create items from weird vintage patterns thrifted!

[@mellie4174]

girl that is adorable! i would totally watch this if it were a series! Now i kinda wanna make this dress! i think it would also be cute with exposed bias binding...

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

Ooh, ooh, Annika! Please consider making the dress you show us at 20:53 for your next video from this book! It looks so pretty, and I'm sure it would be a beautiful dress to throw on during your wedding day, maybe as a reception dress if you don't want your gorgeous wedding dress to possibly get damaged after you say your vows. Anyway, love this, and love you, sweetie! Fingers crossed that your loved ones stay safe from the fires out there. ♥️

My name suggestions for the series would be 'Looks from The Book' or 'The Book Looks'

Looks amazing thanks for re igniting my passion for sewing

[@fancydeer]

I love this book it's amazing. This series is a gift to humanity.

[@TheMeganAlyse]

That turned out AMAZING!!!! I seriously need that book. I wrapped large washers from the hardware store with thin ribbon for my pattern weights. Before then I used random heavy objects as well, including a hatchet.

So cute! You'll definitely get a lot of use out of that dress. I'm glad that the "mistakes" were actually happy accidents (nothing is more disappointing than realizing you goofed on a sewing project). I wish I had that pattern, I have the perfect fabric for it!

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

You can download the pattern, I put it up as a pdf on my website!:)

Yessss more from the book, I would've loved to see you use the pink florals on white base fabric on the top shelf but I can see it has potential to be something else too!

[@sekaihatsu]

Yes! Super Sewist returns! The wrap dress turned out really nice! It looks like a toss up between adding a seam allowance or not adding one and you don't know until you start to make the pattern. I look forward to the next pattern.

[@PsychoEntee]

Looks really nice. I actually sewed my own wedding dress earlier this year. I was heavily pregnant and had noooo desire to go dress shopping and was craving a comfy dress. Can't wait to see yours.
