Other youtubers: drafts patterns meticulously based on many years of experience in dressmaking. The Stitchery: ties a measuring tape to her head and communes with the sewing goddesses before drafting a pattern chaotically. As a viewer of youtube, the latter is just a treat to witness. You're such a kid at heart and I am all here for it!

You should check out Micarah Tewers! She has similar chaotic sewing energy. She usually explains all her measurements by animals and they’re hilariously nonsensical, like “cut a piece of the lining which is the length of 3 small cats and the width of one very big cat”

I've never made a quilt in my life, but I love my rotary cutter, rulers, and mats!! ❤❤ I don't recall if I got mine before or because of this particular project, but I had to make 2 dresses for my oldest daughter for a trip, and I had 4 days to do it in. Mind you, I had 5 children at home at the time, we home schooled, and I cooked our meals. So I didn't have a lot of time. I chose one pattern, and two fabrics that were ok with one thread color for the two of them. I did everything twice: each instruction on the pattern was done for dress 1, then dress 2. But cutting them both out at the same time with my rotary cutter saved SO MUCH TIME! It ran through 4 layers of fabric and the pattern like it was nothing, and I was sold from then on. I wasn't always able to sew with the same color thread, but I often saved time making two of things by cutting both out at once.

As someone with diagnosed ADHD and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), I love every ASD/ADHD moment (ie. zoning out, "Why is this such a mess?", the figgiting, "there's always a box somewhere around here", at around the 15:00 throwing the fabric in the air then saying "here we go", last and my favorite example I will give begins at 15:55). This is all stuff I do in any craft project. I love all of this, also I love that you take your time making it and giving yourself a set scheduled time slot for things to do!

A way to make sewing the squares together faster is to sew strips together, then subcut it into rectangles. There are a lot of cutting tricks quilters have to maximize sewing time versus cutting time.

Yes, if you're doing a regular pattern, sewing strips is a must! Most of my quilts have no repetition in them, so I rarely get a chance to use this trick, but I did a baby quilt that used several different repeated stripe blocks cut on the bias and it was SOOOO FAST in comparison 😂 I also wasn't spending a bunch of time laying out individual rows piece by piece to get _just_ the right color gradation… 😅

Connecting Threads is an amazing place for thread - less than a penny a yard for 100% cotton thread! Not a paid sponsorship here, just really excited that I was able to share good thread deals. Because Joann Fabrics and Michael's are both overpriced for it.

The dress is stunning and reminiscent of the 1970's! It turned out wonderfully. When you are gathering super long things you can zigzag over a crochet cotton. It's stronger so it holds up better. If you get a bit of the cotton in the zigzag stitching you can just start another pull of the thread. It gathers faster as there's no real tension to fight. Thanks for the birds update. I have found that doves are very weird and not blessed with intelligence. In the last week I've had to break so as not hit them standing in the road watching my car come towards them!! To say nothing of their lack of nest building skills. Couple of years ago they decided that my roof gutter was a great spot. It didn't go well. It truly is a wonder that they survive.

I think patchwork - either skirt, dress, or shirt - would look striking in black with different white designs, broken up by just enough of your other favorite color(s) to make your heart happy. Black / purple / chartreuse would give excellent Maleficent vibes! Or dashes of red for a Night Circus effect! Or galaxy because galaxies are gorgeous and it's an excuse for glitter thread accents... the possibilities... dang it. Now I need something like this for spoopy season. 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

​@@annikahstebben4425 I see two options for this. Cutting the squares with the grain would make the seams easier but then having the squares on the diagonal would have the bias running vertically and horizontally. I think the skirt would stretch too much over time. Cutting the squares on the diagonal would mean needing to be careful with the bias seams. However, then when the squares are turned on point, the grain will run vertically and horizontally. I think that would be much easier to gather and the skirt would hang and wear well without stretching.

Your dress turned out really cute. It must weigh 10 pounds. I learn to sew when I was probably 10 years old from my mother and grandmother. Sewing is my therapy. During Covid I learn to make quilts. Even when I made clothes for myselves. I never altered the patterns, even though I needed to sometimes. Maybe now in my old age, I might have the patience to do that. But I know absolutely nothing about making a pattern. In the past I have read books. But with my dyslexia, it’s very difficult for me.

Are you going to put your patchwork sun dress in some of the quilt shows? Most of the Quilt Shows do have Wearable Art (which is usually jackets, hats, aprons, skirts, bags, and coats) in their shows. Yes, your dress is Wearable Art. It is a beautiful dress on you. It does remind me of the dresses that old ladies use to make for dolls (that were sat in the middle of a double bed with the full circle skirt spread out around it). I'm worried about washing, drying, and ironing it (to use again). That looked like quilting cotton you used. Did you wash your fabric before pressing and cutting?

Thank you so much! I find I don't mind slow processes like sewing it all together as long as I have some good TV shows or videos to watch!

The idea is gorgeous, the result cute. Very challenging and inspiring. I adore the colour combo. And I love you doing this in your own unique way.

How gorgeous is this! I'm so trying not to be inspired, I don't have the bandwidth to take on such a large project right now. My mom is a quilter - she would have stacked the fabrics and rotary cut the squares. If you ever wash this dress steaming might be easier than ironing, not envying that part! 🌻🍄 Edit - this was not meant to be a bossy comment 😊 I'm so in awe of what you created 💜

@@raraavis7782same here I have 4 cats and I can just see them climbing into the skirt while it’s under the ironing board, nope would send it to the dry cleaners instead 😹😹😹😹

Haha all good, that's a great suggestion! I got a steamer a few months back, and yeah, I would definitely use that over an iron on any giant dress.

This is how I sew and I always love the finished product or cut it up and totally change it. Upcycling denim saves all my creations

Just discovered your channel. The moment when you wrapped the ruler band around your head and thinking hard about what to do I felt so hard. Thank you for this video. It inspired me to a patchwork skirt (no idea when to sew that but it's there now!). And the end product looks so good! Patchwork looks so amazing! 💜💜💜

I love how the back of the bodice ties! This dress reminds me of the style of folklorico dresses. I would love to be able to sew my own clothes but all that math you were doing broke my brain. Beautiful dress!!👏👏👏👏👏👏✌💜
