This is actually FANTASTIC!

[@emevickfabrics7513]

Well detailed baby. Love your calm teaching. I will like to practicalise it. I need your type of mechine to start sewing. Black mechinr discourages me a lot.

[@Theonlychioma]

No don't be discouraged. Get a motor for the black head machine. It's about 4k. Attach it and use it. That way you won't be stressed at all

[@estheragyaa2432]

Good bless you 🙏🙏🙏 I'm a beginner but I was able to sew this dress. Please can I sew this type of dress for an old woman

Yes o you can do it for an elderly lady.

Hello chioma did you cut the front line the back before cutting the back neck was a little confused

[@Theonlychioma]

My dear please I don’t understand the question

[@ruthomoizirein7264]

Thanks for the response I meant that after cutting the front before you proceeded to cut the back neck had you already cut the back of the material is my question?

This is my favourite dressmaking tutorial. When I make the dress though, I will make it longer; just below my knees.

[@Theonlychioma]

It'll still look amazing! Thank you ❤️

[@obasekolaveronica3194]

Why did u remove 1.5 to het your burst line

[@lifestyle99112]

Beautiful

[@mariaojeamiren]

Nice tutorial. I'm interested in your sewing machine. Is it durable? And can you advise a beginner to buy it instead of industrial machine?. I recently just started learning to sew.

[@Theonlychioma]

Oh yes it's very durable. I've had mine since 2020 and I've had no issues at all. Although I care for it well. I oil every Saturday and clean the insides to clear the lint.

[@mariaojeamiren]

@@Theonlychioma thanks for the reply. Will you advise me to buy this or the industrial sewing machine? I need your candid advise. Thanks

[@ruthomoizirein7264]

Also how many yards of material did u use

[@Theonlychioma]

2 yards.

Thank you for watching ❣️

[@hopesibusisiwemanyika9772]

Good clear instructions. So easy to follow. One thing though, the music is too loud and distract ing.

[@Theonlychioma]

Apologies. I realised this and did a new video Here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpykdHuIqZJ8pZIsi=dKUciqDu676r3C1d

[@aniduaisha6620]

Nice video . Please I would like to ask. What if I would like to cut a bodice without zip how much allowance should I give?

[@Theonlychioma]

Hello. You can add 3 inches to the bust, waist and high hip.

[@Nikatronixx]

sorry i am a beginner and couldn't see what you meant by nape to sleeve. Was it the middle of the nape?

[@Theonlychioma]

Nikatronixx yes please, middle of the neck(at the back) to where you want the sleeve to end

[@ClariceAust]

@@Theonlychioma I read 'nape' on patterns years ago when I quite young; I still didn't know what that was and I'm a lady in my 60's now & just saw your video! Better late than never.. :)

[@Theonlychioma]

@@ClariceAust oh wow! Anyway that happens. Whenever clarity comes, we accept it. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@ClariceAust]

@@Theonlychioma I was still able to sew up a bell-sleeved dress back then. (I just cut out the paper pattern pieces that came in the packet; my mum didn't have a clue, so I couldn't ask her..) I've only tried a few fairly simply things over the years since. Thanks for your video, Theonlychioma! :)

Very detailed explanation! Thank you

[@uwahouseofstyle6556]

Thank you ma

[@Theonlychioma]

You're welcome ❤️

[@peculiarpraise719]

This was really helpful. I have a question. In a case where the hip is 15.75 , burst is 13.5, what should I do?

[@Theonlychioma]

This 15.75, is that your measurements divided by 4?

[@peculiarpraise719]

@@Theonlychioma yes ma'am

[@somtochiemela4019]

Hi chioma My hip is bigger than my burst Should I still use the burst

[@Theonlychioma]

Okay. Add the amount of allowance you want to each measurement. For instance, add 6 inches to your bust/waist/hip before dividing by 4

[@somtochiemela4019]

@@Theonlychioma when cutting mine Am confused at the sleeve point Mine is small Am using a sleeve length of about 16 inches My round sleeve is 7.5 and I added 3 inches to it Will it be tight?

[@Theonlychioma]

@@somtochiemela4019 7.5 as in 15 inches round? If you add 3 inches, it won't be small. It'll be just fine. I add 2 inches for mine. Sometimes, 1.5 sef and it's always okay. And my round sleeve is also 15.

[@somtochiemela4019]

Thank you 💓 It was looking small I felt I was wrong

[@ettylafrique9740]

Why did u subtract 1.5 inch from the bust line measurement

[@omotoyosioshodi6604]

Hello, please I am a little stuck at the front facing. Please can you help?

[@Theonlychioma]

Okay. What's wrong? You can watch this to guide you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nQoKpsrdmcg6c If you're still stuck, you can DM me on Instagram @theonlychioma

[@laradavid4144]

Love you

[@soniaecheta]

Very nice and pls your machine is so nice . I love et pls where can I get it?

[@Theonlychioma]

I got it from May's franchise - [phone]

[@Sriver14]

How should the length be extended if we want a longer dress? The way the fabric is folded wouldn't provide much material.

[@Theonlychioma]

Oh you can measure yourself to know the length you want if this is too short for you. You can use 40 or 42.

[@ellachinonsoanele656]

Thanks.but why can't one download it?

Please why is the video not downloadable 😢

[@folushootitoju2997]

Weldone chioma, was a great tutorial Pls i have a question. My bust is 38.5, after adding 8 inches as you did It is exactly my hip measurements which is 46.5. What do you advise pls. Bcos is going to be tight at the hip Should i add 10 inches instead of 8 inches?. Kindly advise thanks Will appreciate your response pls

[@Theonlychioma]

Hello, you can add 6 inches to all your measurements instead of 8 because you have hip. So add 6 to 38.5 and 6 to 46.5. You can make adjustments on the dress as you sew so it’ll give you the fitting you want.

[@erahonpatience9453]

Hello

[@gracembah2752]

You did a great teaching but the music is too high. Pls next time reduce the volume of your music. Bless you nwanne mmadu.
