How to make THAT Cottagecore dress you've probably seen on Pinterest (Easy DIY) | Milkmaid dress

[@malloryjines5050]

I’m so happy to see the younger generation wanting to try sewing! I’m a 65 year old grandmother who’s has sewn many things since my mother taught me at 11. Making your own clothes or things for the home gives you such a sense of accomplishment. Congratulations, you did a wonderful job! And you made your own patterns! I’m very impressed! Your dress was lovely.

[@ThriftFilippa]

I wish my Grandma could've taught me to sew! She was very talented at quilting, but sadly she passed away before I was old enough to be near a needle.. Yes, I love the feeling of being able to make things yourself. Thank you so much!

[@petloverspy]

I’m 24 and finally getting into sewing properly, and I’m so glad to have my grandma to teach me! She used to be a seamstress and gave me her old Bernina machine years ago, which I’ll finally be putting to good use. We did some adjustments to my existing clothes together and next time she’s going to help me make a proper dress (I made a nice apron by myself in the meantime). It really is so fun to be able to custom make things and recycle old clothes you otherwise don’t wear anymore! I hope the younger generation in your life looks to you for knowledge as well

[@malloryjines5050]

@@petloverspy I’m so happy you have a grandma to teach you! That’s a wonderful way to really know her and what her life was like as well as gain a skill you’ll always have. Back in my day there were so many beautiful fabric stores out here (so CA). I think choices are more limited today but I may be wrong. Enjoy!

[@ZimVader-0017]

I'm 28 and self-taught, but I started on an old 1940s Singer machine that was my aunt's mother in law's. Sadly, my grandmother passed many years ago and didn't know how to use a machine. She did hand sew. I learned via a retired teacher here on KZbin. I now have a new machine (Brother) because the Singer unfortunately broke a part, and getting a replacement was more expensive than just getting a new one. I haven't ventured into making clothes yet, but I made curtains, cushions, and cloth napkins for my mother.

[@lycorice2219]

I'm 23 trying to get into sewing! Sadly, my grandmother who is a very talented seamstress lives in a different place where I do now, so I don't have anyone that I can ask for advice atm, other than the internet. I'm thinking of reaching out to a local care home to see if they're interested in letting me get in touch with residents that are willing to teach! I've volunteered in carehomes before and I noticed how a lot of the residents there are lonely specially when their families are too busy to visit them, so I figured it'd be a 2-birds-1-stone situation to learn from them!

[@ThriftFilippa]

Hi, I just wanted to revoke a little "joke" i made about the price of the original dress. The intention of the “joke” was how I personally can’t afford to spend that much money on one dress, but I didn’t consider that this is actually a fair price, if not too cheap, in order for the seamstress/seamster to get a fair wage. It’s actually made by I believe a small business called Heartsandfound, you can find them on Etsy.

[@ThriftFilippa]

heartsandfound.com/ i believe is the original creators

[@antisocialal4799]

No need to apologize! It’s understandable with how clothes are made nowadays.

[@user-ne2bb5nh7t]

Even if it's a fair price for the work, not everyone can afford it. My local thriftstore sells fabric items by the pound, so I can buy lots and lots of white bedsheets for fabric for almost nothing at all. Because of my shape, handmade items or tailored items look best on me, but I would not be able to buy all of that myself from ethical, fair trade companies or individuals. There is nothing wrong with saying that something is too expensive for you, or that you can't afford it. As an artist myself, I only think it's rude when people harass the individual to lower their prices.

[@ThriftFilippa]

@@user-ne2bb5nh7t This! Agree totally with this! Also I'm very happy you're able to get fabric and make clothes that fit you well!

[@Sustaita.handmade]

Rather than looking down at a price the way the joke was made you can simply say its out of your budget and want to see if you can make it yourself. I was about to stop watching at that joke but I'm glad you addressed it in the comments! Thank you for trying to understand both sides!

[@maschne9962]

I'm a beginner in sewing but my dream is to sew dresses like this one. I think I will try it, even though it is intimidating. You explained it very well

[@ThriftFilippa]

You definitely can! I have only been sewing for a few years and this one is not as complicated as it may seem. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have along the way!

Nothing feels better than watching a sewing tutorial that actually show u how to draft your own pattern I love u sooo much for that really

[@ThriftFilippa]

Thank you so much! I really wish I could make more tutorials like this but they take me a loot of time, so im really happy you appreciate it!

[@artemisknight186]

A nice trick for measuring skirts length: use the measuring tape upside down. This way you have the point zero of the tape at your desired hem length and can easily read the number at the point you’re holding it up.

[@ThriftFilippa]

Oooo that is very nifty, thank you!

[@phoebeel]

Btw that dress in the picture is made by hearts and found and they make top quality clothes. The money is 1000000% worth it. Their craftsmanship is crazy good. Over the years, I've bought 8 of their dresses. I will die on the hill that their dresses are the best clothes out there

[@ThriftFilippa]

Yes I discovered it a while after the video but now I have left links to their Etsy in the bio! Great to know they’re good quality too!!

[@wandering6252]

the "im this close to losing it" space pretty much sums up how to measure for pattern making at home perfectly.

[@ThriftFilippa]

Hahhah yes it works for almost every measurement!

[@desssm]

What a gorgeous dress, and what a sudden motivation to make one. I've been eyeing the inspiration for..ahm..2-3 years now? Taking the pattern paper and meter out this very moment. Also, thank you for such a well-explained tutorial, hope to frolic in wet Northern European fields soon.

[@ThriftFilippa]

I'm so happy you're finally making it! I've also been repining it on my pinterest for years. Love the frolicking in the fields!!

That dress with blue flowers you showed at the beginning was so cute!! I love the white version too but I think that I may go for smth with more pattern instead

[@ThriftFilippa]

Thank you, i think so too! There definitely is big potential with this dress to look good with different patterns

[@ColorJoyLynnH]

I had a dress like this in 1971, made of cotton doubleknit (purple, an unusual color before the late 60’s). I wore it out. The midriff/ribcage was solid dark purple and the rest was a knit-in small geometric in purple and white. The best!

[@ThriftFilippa]

Sounds heavenly! Did you keep it?

[@ColorJoyLynnH]

@@ThriftFilippa no. Mom was a tosser. We had relatively few clothes in those days, and we wore them out and then pitched them, unless we outgrew them and those went to the Church rummage sale.

[@ThriftFilippa]

​@@ColorJoyLynnH If you've kept any pictures it could be a fun thing to recreate!

[@nafiseh212]

Beautiful needs no words

[@ThriftFilippa]

Thank u

[@annie.sanders]

beautiful work! from my research I've found that the back of the dress is actually fitted and not gathered, which makes it more flattering on larger size bodies. so if anyone wants to recreate this dress, that is something to look into

[@ThriftFilippa]

Oh I had no idea! I would very much like to see how it would be done.

[@annie.sanders]

the dress is from a shop called Hearts and Found. name of the design is Loretta.

[@ThriftFilippa]

@@annie.sanders Yes thank you! I found it after making the video, so it's a bit too late, but I would be very interested in seeing how one could make it with the fitted back, as I'm not really sure myself!

[@annie.sanders]

@@ThriftFilippa I think it's pretty simple. either draped or drafted

[@kerim.peardon5551]

When you make a muslin mockup to make sure that it works, rip it back apart and use it as your pattern. (If you have to make significant adjustments, cut a new replacement piece.) I figured out a long time ago, when I was making medieval clothes for me and my husband, that cloth pattern pieces are the best thing ever. They stick to all but the slickest fabrics, so you don't have to pin them, they don't get hard creases and refuse to lay flat (and you can always iron them if they wrinkle), and they don't blow around like a paper or tissue paper pattern if you have a fan on. Even weights aren't needed.

[@ThriftFilippa]

This is a great tip, thank you! I think for draping it’s definitely the best option, so you don’t also have to make a pattern on paper. I personally find it easier using paper for making changes and alterations to the pattern as well as copying the pattern to make something else later on. But i definitely see the benefit of using cloth and i’ll have to try it! Thanks!

[@gc0009]

hiii, 5:04 actually, in pattern making of a blouse or drass that has no zipper (or pattern directly on fabric, whatever), use the chest/boobs/bust/tits measurement, yes, even if they are small, not the under bust or waist. the tits are larger than the under bust and waist (unless in plus size people that the belly or waist maybe are bigger than the tits) if we use the waist measurement, the drass will not pass our shoulders, but if we use the tits measurement, it will. if it was a pants/trousers, the larger measure is the larger part of our hips/butt. always use the largest measurement of your body, or the clothing will not fit you. i hope it makes sense, english is not my first language. ♥ kisses and hugs. edit: nevermind, it has zipper lmao. sorry oh and you really, really did a great job with pattern making! measuring the side seams and all. oh so satisfying.

[@ThriftFilippa]

Hi! Yes this dress definitely requires a zipper in order to put it on, since it is so fitted. Thanks for the concern though!

[@josiewheeley4704]

i just took notes on all of the patterns! i'm going to the fabric store tomorrow to get everything! i'm making it for high school graduation! thank you so much for this tutorial

As a person to who sewing is absolutely rocket science and who just can't seem to grasp sewing terminology, thank you so much for breaking this process down in a way that even my inner lightbulb switched on!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

You are very encouraging. I am going to start with a vintage shift like underwear thing that they wore under their corsets but over their bloomers (big pants to people not as old as me...knickers that is if you dont speak Brit English lol!) I thought, because its only rectangles and a couple of rectangles cut diagonally as gores and gussets, it has got to be fairly simple. If IT works, I think I will try yours because its so pretty and I have been wearing whats now called "Cottage core" and Dark Academia since before your parents were born....yeah, that old...an Original Punk Rocker actually! We were made to do sewing and cooking at school so I can actually knit, crochet and do some embroidery, however I have never got on with sewing machines...way too easy to break if theyre electrical...I can use manual hand and treadle machines but often find machines so much hassle that handsewing is better for me anyway...slow but nothing to break!

[@ThriftFilippa]

Oooh that sounds very fun, making vintage "underwear"! I'm very impressed by your hand sewing skills! I've never really learnt how to hand sew properly, but i'd like to get into someday!

[@kiira7493]

[@elliepalsgrove8955]

this tutorial is amazing!!!! i thought i would give it a try, cause i have been sewing for a while, but i've only done very basic stuff before. that being said, my brain is currently mush, trying to decide how to accomplish the pattern pieces. i've never made a pattern before, and i have to keep reminding myself that a small little mistake or imperfection isn't going to mean the end of the world. ( even if it is) anyway, i've decided that i'm in too far now to quit and i am determined to finish this dress! hopefully i'll give an update, but thank you so much for the wonderful video!

[@ThriftFilippa]

Thank you so much! You can definitely do it!! And oh yes pls update if you find the time

[@JJ-zc2jd]

I made this dress! It's the first piece of clothing I had ever made let alone a dress! And it turned out to be sooooo pretty that I am soo determined to keep on making my own clothing. Thank you so much for such a detailed tutorial. I think this tutorial doesn't just give you a guide to making this dress but it also lets us advance into how we can measure our body and come up with a pattern of our own. Just like you said in the beginning of the video, this was a challenge for me and I think I really developed my sewing skills through this video. For people who are beginners, don't worry if it"s going to be too difficult because if you follow the tutorial it would be really easy. The tutorial was so well made that it only took me two days to make this dress. I used sort of an old bedsheet looking cloth and although it does look beautiful, my dress doesn't really look like it's been manufactured. So I recommend people to use better cloth than just bedsheet or maybe even use a cloth with a pattern if you want it to give off a more manufacfured aura. Thank you again for your splendid guide to this dress, I really like the dress and I would have never been able to get it if not for this tutorial❤❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤

This is a nice dress. Im a bit older and um, mis-shapen though so for me, I would line and interface the waist section and put some boning in it. Actuslly Id line it with some strong elastic fabric , that way the outer fabric wouodnt pull tight only the lining.

[@ThriftFilippa]

Great idea! Having an elastic/ fabric with a bit of stretch, especially in the waist line would also make it more comfortable too(and more breathable) !

Ahh I’ve been wanting to make a dress like this but always been too intimidated by commercial patterns! Thanks so so much :)

[@ThriftFilippa]

I hope this helps!!!

[@itsirenesart]

ouuu I love your aesthetic! The result is amazing! ✨

[@ThriftFilippa]

Thanks so much!!

[@lauraknight7258]

You can use a yard stick to get better measurements from waist to floor, aka, the length of whatever you are making.

[@ThriftFilippa]

I should really get one of those!

Omg, that dress is gorgeous! I recently got a new fabric and I’ve been wondering what to do with it. I think this might be it!

[@ThriftFilippa]

Exciting!! Let me know how it goes!

[@Songbird-rz3lx]

@@ThriftFilippa i just finished the dress and while it’s not perfect I still love how it looks!

[@ThriftFilippa]

@@Songbird-rz3lx that’s awesome!! Nothing I make is ever perfect, it’s so hard to be completely happy with your own work, so i’m sure it’s really beautiful!

You should post more often, your videos are fantastic!

I'm trying to! I'll be on summer break in about a month so i'm hoping to post a lot then!!

[@ThriftFilippa]

Thank you so much and good luck!! Let me know if there are any questions.

[@arianaeustache2786]

I loveee this dress sm but I've never made a pattern before💀 but ur instructions are very clear. My bestfriend is having her 16th bday party soon🥳 and she might make the theme fairycore so I'm thinking of trying this. I might maybe add butterfly embroideries if I use a non-patterned fabric. Will update if I try this😄

[@ThriftFilippa]

Ohhhh that sounds so cool! Love the butterfly embroidery. Definitely send updates! My instagram is thriftfilippa if you want to send pics to me

[@arianaeustache2786]

@@ThriftFilippa I just finished making the dress. My best friend's bday party is tday and it's fairy core. The process was extremely challenging for me bc I was a total beginner but I'm overally pleased with the outcome bc ik the input tht went in (blood,sweat and tears😭). I'm going to tht party in my dress proudly (even though my sleeves are uneven💀) bc I'm learning to be confident in what I make even if there's mistakes. Thanks sm for this video, it was truly appreciated 💖

such detailed and meticulous explanation. Thank you so much. Also, you are so funny 😁

wow how do you not have more subs???? all your vids look amazing!! i've sewn dresses before and i've been wanting to make this one for like two years now but never figured out the construction. i'll for sure make this once the semester ends! 😁😁

[@ThriftFilippa]

The first ones are really bad tbh haha. Yaay I hope you find time to make it and hope the video is useful!

Hello! I love the dress it looks sooo beautiful. Have you thought about making and selling the patterns? I would know i would definately purchase!!! Although i have no sewing skills i am going to try and give this a go haha.

[@ThriftFilippa]

Hi, thank you! I have thought about it a bit but will probably have to look into it a bit more. Definitely makes me more motivated knowing I'd have a customer!

[@lt188]

@@ThriftFilippa Thanks for your reply. That would be so awesome i know i have some friends who would also love to buy patterns from you too!

[@user-bz5vj5xm5l]

I really like this video and currently doing the zip part. cant believe ive manage to come this far! if I may offer one suggestion for improvement - as your fabric is the same inside and out its very difficult for me as a beginner so understand exactly which side im suppose to be sewing. maybe next time you can chose a fabric that is different each side so its easier to follow :)

[@ThriftFilippa]

Wow you’re doing amazing!! I totally get that, it was not that long ago I was a beginner myself. I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I make dress with an invisible zip!
