How To Sew A Gown for $20 (Part 1 EP 01)

Hey Fabs,
In this video I'm going to challenge myself to make a gown for just $20 bucks. I'm taking you fabric shopping with me at my local fabric store called Save-A-Thon (Google Search for locations) to see, if I can find some high quality fabric for less.

Okay... I know for a FACT..... You are super busy doing your thing... But PLEASE continue your challenge series that you started... They are just amazing!!! I am a very seasoned Professional "Mantua" and sewing instructor. However I love to tell my students about you! You are much younger than I am and showing them your sense of style and how you manipulate fabric, your energy and the shops helps me keep the younger generation of sewers filled with motivation... Sew see.. You are now.... REQUIRED reading for graduation in my class !!!! lololol

[@patgraham875]

I am 65 and have been sewing since I was 12--- an amazing teacher! I have seen many how to videos but you have really showed this old dog some new tricks! Thank you 👍

[@Tammohawk1]

Last summer we lost everything to a large forest fire. One of the first things I replaced was my sewing machine. One of my dearest friends immediately helped with a fabric stash. Four boxes full! Some beautiful fabrics also. I haven't sewn garments in a very long time. I was just quilting instead. Just before the fire I was planning on getting back into it and organizing everything so I could. Funny how life is. I'm better off now than before the fire! Blessed is what we are. Very very blessed.

[@myralorraine]

Daniela! $1.00 - 5.99 BEAUTIFUL fabrics? AMAZING! That is unheard of in my area! Ok, I have to get to NY to purchase fabrics! I’ve added this one to my list! Thank you and I can’t wait to see Part 2!

[@katrinepetersen2566]

Myra Lorraine In my country the cheapest fabric is 8$ Pr meter. You het 10% off as a student, though. But It's still expensive.

[@Lilac3_]

There's a fabric and clothing store in Pennsylvania called jomar's. It has the same kind of look that the store Daniela went to in the video. they sell inexpensive fabric and notions there. Also, try lowpricefabrics.com.

[@sarahc409]

I shop at Save-a-Thon too!

[@justdesi2469]

dragonfly95100 you're the best...I'm in PA and have been searching for a good fabric

[@Lilac3_]

Just Desi you're welcome! I'm in the tristate area and I'm always on the hunt for fabric stores ( online and brick-and-mortar).

[@exohexoh3948]

$2.99 fabric!!!!???!!!! I'm lucky to get fabric on sale for $14 per meter in Australia. I love sewing but the cost of it is defeating the whole purpose

[@exohexoh3948]

Oh that sounds awesome! Thanks heaps, will check them out 😊

[@rosettelillehei7730]

In Canada too. Fabrics are very expencive.

[@marie-angelapope7593]

I just moved back to Oz from NYC and yes Save-A-Thon is cheap easy to build up a stash quick. I now buy Spotlight only Clearance area though.

[@TheOriginalLexa]

Most of the US doesn’t have fabric that cheap, either. That’s crazy!

[@sayuria54]

Try using bedsheets or curtains

[@sequyas]

I wish Joann had those prices!

[@ShanaJRay]

sequyas same

[@tafsf415]

I never seen fabric under 5 dollars a yard at Joanns

[@mayawallace7627]

Jo Ann’s stays pimping people. Even with a coupon it’s a rip off. I think they do this because they know most people don’t have access to the types of stores like in the video.

[@auroraborealis0990]

I can't stand Joann and I wish they'd go out of business.

[@SpillitBoyTV]

The fabric choice was impeccable, what a great deal!

[@winstonchaychel]

I'm yelling at my phone "NO!!! Go grab up that fabric outside and take it with you in case!!" LOL. This is awesome!

[@fishblub5443]

I only got 8 seconds in and i fell in love with her positive, up lifting, cheerful attitude!

[@OVOKE]

Girl that fabric you bought is beautiful can't wait to see what you make.

[@2degucitas]

OVOKE Doesn't it look great next to her skin?

[@danishsaleem8639]

OVOKE hay I am Sonia

[@danishsaleem8639]

OVOKE very nice

[@kathleen2043]

I love going to the fabric store with you. I live where there isn't a fabric store for 100 miles in either direction. But no fabric store like these great stores that you took us two. Thank you for the fun trip!

[@quester09]

you could make a matching bag with the extra yard.

[@tamila7381]

comets & blueberries ooo, awesome idea!

[@delightful75]

A clutch

[@matheya]

What ? 1.99 $ for cotton- sateen ?? And the colors were lovely ! This shop is Amazzzing !

[@RachelRoseLynn]

Helpful tip!! Heavy duty Zip-Ties make for great cheap boning.

[@ethanhull6804]

2 SECONDS IN AND I LOVE YOUR ENERGY. YES 0:08

[@yaelrar.4460]

I can't sew but I watch this sooo wishing I could. You're blessed to have the ability!!

[@ollimills90210]

I love your channel because I am just starting my GCSEs and I'm doing costume and textiles so you are really giving me inspiration

[@voluptuouscosplay2452]

Omg so much cheap fabric!! I wish I loved near a store like yours. Fabricville is always super expensive

[@bluekitten4465]

Voluptuous Cosplay YES THOUGH!!!! Cosplayers have such a struggle when you make your own. Sometimes making your own stuff is more expensive. -_-

[@voluptuouscosplay2452]

Blue Kitten even more so when your plus size lol

[@bluekitten4465]

Voluptuous Cosplay EXACTLY THOUGH!!!! Nobody gets the struggle!!! I'm a pretty big girl, so I gotta sew EVERYTHING.

[@voluptuouscosplay2452]

Blue Kitten I comissionnes two costumes once and they didn't fit. It's what started me making all my own stuff lol

[@bluekitten4465]

That's awful! I'm actually a commissioner myself (I'm on FaceBook under the same name as my KZbin, lol. Blue Kitten's Commissions :) ) and I work my hardest to make sure everything fits correctly. I know how utterly depressing it can be when you order something and it doesn't fit properly.

[@nancycharlotte3140]

I was a Bridal seamstress for 35+ years and I have run in to so many people that have no idea what they are doing. But you do my dear. Wonderful

[@chocolate001able]

Girrrrl! you are my inspiration! You have given me back the love of designing again and pursuing my business. Big love from the UK!

[@2joshua22]

Please keep making more of these videos of you bringing your viewers with you. Can't wait for part 2 😊

[@bibzy6277]

You can get really stunning, cheap fabrics in London as well. My mums a seamstress and I'm hoping after I get a degree in architecture, I can start my own fashion collection. So I'm always going fabric shopping for inspiration.

[@NekoChev]

I am in love with that fabric store!

[@TrinaNicole22]

Wow I’m just wowed by your clothing and wedding dresses. Your an amazing Designer.

[@Glitterqueen08]

I am throughly enjoying this.. I even found myself answering you... I like the first fabric that you saw.

[@kingkelly3794]

Daniela i been Watching you for a min im going to do this challenge. I love you you are very helpful and extremely gifted! Thank you

[@BodaciousBeverly]

Those are fabulous process on fabric! I wish there was a store like that near me!

[@art.bae.hannah8196]

Yessssss girl I'm lovin this series sewing a gown for 20 bucks you inspire me. Love ❤️ your creativity 😎👌keep up the good work.

[@morgan2010nation]

I'm in the USA where this fabric is really cheap for the price and I have never made anything like this but I was interested in using boning in a dress. Thank for your video.

[@carolynrothrock1894]

First time I ever saw the process it takes to design a dress. I worked in a garment factory for years and never got to see this part, it's not as much of a mystery any more. I think I could do it if you teach me a few skills. Thanks

[@Queenieeo]

I just started following you and I LOVE your sewing videos! You are so talented and I feel like I am learning a lot

[@raccoon_remains]

$5 a yard there is like $20 a yard here I wanna take a trip to that store sometime and buy all of it

[@MsFredericks]

Hold up....hold up! Bruh, those are considered sale prices (when you catch a really good sell) at Jo Ann's in Texas. They been playing me😣😣😣 we need to trade stores or send me a link or something!

[@cathywillingham6669]

Can’t wait to see the outcome !!

[@kinamonsterrawr]

Man, in Fort Worth Joanns even on a *great* sale day/coupons I can't find anything less than double or triple what she had at that store.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Or just moveto NYC. You can't expect them to build a cheap fabric store next to your house, lol.

[@dontaskmethat3196]

Can you please show Us all the dresses you have ever made? I wuld love to See Them all and im sure meny other people wants to SEE them to so yeah love yaaaa

[@khaley37781]

[@vivianloveth93]

[@deep.2082]

I feel like this is season finale of a show! LOL, I can't wait to see what you're going to create with this fabric and does this store have a website that you can order from because the prices are right! Thanks for sharing

[@anitahaynes6171]

Love your channel. Just found it last night. I am not a designer but you have a lot to offer with your talent and creativity. Just working on my own garment sloopers. I am watching every video you made. Keep up your passion. Looking forward with great excitement for part 2. Happy Holidays.

[@danicaoslund6083]

[@LarissaTheBrave]

[@kathleencrawford6080]

Oops

[@andrewstiller1662]

You are SO incredibly talented! Love it.

[@maja9534]

your attitude is everything

[@ChocolateWitch13]

A hack from Pinterest, use thin zip/cable ties as boning. Can be cheaper then actual acrylic boning in most cases

[@wfv2271]

I forgot about Save-A-Thon store... I just subcribed to your channel and can't wait for part two 😉

[@pamelabrinkley6900]

I really can't wait to see the finished product 🤗

[@LindaTCornwall]

[@mehetabelnaasackey4793]

Waiting for part 2.....Merry Christmas 🎄 and prosperous new year. Praying to Allah to grant you more wisdom 🙏🏼

[@josi-elaine]

Save-a-Thon in Harlem used to be my shop of choice. 🤪. Great video. Our Philadelphia equivalent is Jomar.

[@Sweetnlow19811]

Wow such amazing deals! Fabric is super expensive in Canada, at least in my area. I spent $40 on fabric today just to make a sun dress. It better look fantastic 🤣

[@gadispink]

😲 i love ur fabric store! Cant wait for the part 2

[@colettevalentine9912]

Love this, I haven't seen those type of prices in a long time.

[@ssoozee]

Oh, my gosh, you are absolutely adorable! Love your channel!

[@beautifuldayqueen9057]

just cant wait to see tge final product!

[@Moood007]

here's a tip, instead of boning i get heavy duty cable ties and cut and file it down to round the edges, it's a long procedure but it saves me a lot of money

[@mdnoormdnoor8346]

Dear Daniela, love yr creativity and skill....keep it up..i love to design but not good in cutting the material and sewing it..but i love seeing yr tube...tq The dress u made can be used bu miss new york universe...

[@Kylaxo]

i love this idea so much! can't wait for pt 2

[@Diamond55185]

Wow those were really cheap prices for fabric! I wished I had one of those stores around here lol!

[@faradara5310]

I love that color on your lips!!!

[@ritacross4283]

Daniela. Wooow que Grande el Negocio de Telas Muy Lindo. Muy Buena Compra por $ 20. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@Greywind920]

the fabric at 4:12 and the silver before it were gorgeous. you should have done a gown with the metallic black/green/blue though. that would have been incredible and you could have sold it for quite a bit. i would have bought it if it was cut and styled right. all those prices were outrageously cheap. here in canada, ontario specifically you can't find anything that cheap.

[@genera1013]

First time watching video of yours. Five seconds in, I love your name! Just wanted to share that. Great video overall!

[@MommaRose956]

That’s nothing like Joanne’s. That store was great! And so inexpensive!

[@annpeterson2701]

Wow!!! You belong on the runway. This is beautiful

[@alexismelendez1915]

Omg!!! I go to save-a-thon!!!!!!!! I use to live near the one in East Harlem! Which location is this one? The one in East Harlem looks different and has a lot more fabric btw. I just LOVE that place though!!!

[@monthoffeb]

Great videoo, its so exciting 😍 cant wait to see the final result

[@cmaharaj123]

I used to shop there when i lived on Jamiaca Ave, NY i miss it

[@Reb4ful]

Your fabric taste is impeccable, ..."Champagne taste with a beer pocket". Couldn't be better in my book. When will you be posting the sequel video part 2?

[@أشرفمصطفىعثمان]

Hi Daniela. I learned a lot from you. Thank you

[@AhkeYahWoolyHaire]

I’m here for it.

[@ohmyprettygirl]

Just subscribed. I can’t wait to see pt 2

[@sarahb4995]

Ooooh! New subscriber! Can't wait to see part 2

[@RileyliebtTH]

A really great alternative to rolled plastic boning is zip ties (or cable ties-whatever you want to call them). They're nice and flat, sturdier than traditional plastic boning, and they're machine washable. Oh, and ridiculously inexpensive.

[@onedayillbesomething1570]

Best channel ever!!!

[@designsonyouinparis]

I love this place! Thank you!

[@JesseLynnLibertarian]

Just found your channel and I love your energy!

[@glammasrebornnursery]

Girl is that save-a-thon on Flatbush Ave?? I go there all the time their prices and selection is better than Walmart!

[@BelindaClyburn]

It's Beautiful !

[@AlliciaB]

I can't wait for part II

[@iriswoods7409]

So talented!

[@StyledByBeaver]

I can't wait to see the gown!!😍

[@gardenwarrior4219]

You won't find those prices at joanns, not here anyway! Ur lucky!

[@carlosgeonzon7499]

I really love making dress but i dont know how. So, I'll just watch some of yours.

[@snezanajovovic7950]

Look at these prices! Where Is this shop? And what a selection! Thanks very much for sharing 😀❤

[@coraradford4216]

Hello Daniela, Love your designs! I couldn't locate part 2 of this video. Can you direct me to it pls. 💖

[@alizeb6118]

Damn I wish I live close to that fabric store. Everything in there is pretty cheap versus than Jo-Ann Fabrics.

[@Megan6772]

Love the Wham immediately upon entering 😁

[@TriciaMaestre]

my only criticism is that i was getting sick with the camera movement. However, I get excited like that too when I buy material!! Can't wait to see what she did with it

[@cityzoo777]

when is part 2 going to come out? soo excited to see the dress. maybe other fashion utubers can make this as a challenge (^_^)

[@ladypinkbagsetc.9116]

Okay I just looked this up... We are making a trip to New York... LOL ASAP.. Destination Fabric...

[@philosopherkurdmuffins9835]

When your opening doors open them from the bottom of the handle, less people touch down there so it’s less germy
