I sewed my *fave* red carpet look (it's Prada 👀) | WITHWENDY

[@withwendy]

Ok here is the truth... this video was originally going to include three (THREE! smh Wendy) red carpet-inspired creations and partway through I had a brutal reality check on how much time I actually had to get this done. So here is the first item I finished and though it's on the simpler end of the spectrum the satin was terrifying and I'm really proud of myself 🥲One last thanks to Milanote for sponsoring this video!

Ivw been painting for 2 years and I can't get rid of the i.postor syndrome. Your doing great.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No imposter, only creators on this channel.

[@eloiseb5600]

SO good to see such a cool project in detail - 10/10 I'm always ok with one video per project

[@inMuro]

bravo!

[@thebratqueen]

Good luck to Julia in the next stage of her career and welcome to Leticia!

[@eloiseb5600]

Seconded! Good luck and thank you Julia, and hi Leticia!

[@HaveyoumetMei]

Did u find Julia's channel

[@dabihm498]

"Satin is scary" the reason I'm procrastinating starting my satin dress for a month

[@withwendy]

I feel you I feel you I feel you 🥲

[@nohandle508]

You've got this!

[@dabihm498]

@@nohandle508 thanks 😭❤️

[@kimdoogleouo4521]

I will pray for you 😂🙏💛

[@donnecoetzee8651]

Absolutely loved the paparazzi reveal🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@marikotrue3488]

The tailoring looks so on-point, smooth, crisp and classic lines that is what always sells me on clothes. The shape of that dress would make my geometry professor beam with pride. Nice to "meet" Leticia and warm wishes to Julia on her new path. Oh and ALWAYS allow time to add the pockets. It is the best present to your future self that your current self could ever gift.

[@purple-np3np]

8:07 Wendy, you have taught me so much about sewing that you deserve all the credit for being an awesome instructor! The first big project I attempted with my own machine was your mini Kanken tutorial. I still go back to the old videos if I'm unsure about how to do something. So just to say I'm so grateful for your old content, and I still love seeing where your videos take you now!

[@ohsnapkimyap]

wendy, i have been a viewer for years and I just need to take a moment to say thank you for all the videos over the years - I went from just a viewer who was interested and curious about sewing to now being a sewing girlie with a bunch of projects under my belt in the past 3 years and it really is all thanks to you! your videos are so much more helpful than you'll ever know. I've loved to see you tackle such challenging projects over the years and that in every struggle or misstep, we learn together

[@tattledorf]

can't wait for Wendy to get invited to the Barbie movie premiere and debut this on the red carpet 🤩👀

[@sofmikulovie6997]

First of all, your set up looks gorgeous! It makes your video even more professional! So good:) And secondly, I have literally zero sewing knowledge BUT your videos make me go: “delusions of DIYYY”. I know it is loads of work, super difficult, it takes so much skills, but you make it looks like everyone can do this! I love that the feeling I get is “included”. In community I have no experience with, but admire so much. I know you think you don't have the authority to teach people - IT IS enough, you are super good at this! Thank you so much! Sending lots of love and hugs

[@zuleikalambe9861]

What a beautiful dress! My heart broke a little when you dropped the train onto the dirty ground, but I guess it had to happen some time. lol Hope the “evil ground” didn’t ruin any of your hard work! 😂❤

[@meowdee]

I love your dedication to sewing - it’s so refreshing to see someone learning from their mistakes and making bigger and better projects. You don’t solely rely on your (lovely!) personality for content!

[@wendybutler1681]

Creative people tend to go a little nutso when they can't be creative. Our dedication is keeping us sane! This kind of sewing is a practice like law or medicine. There will always be more skills to learn! KZbin has such AMAZINGLY TALENTED sewing machinists to learn from! Pattern drafters! Free spirits like yourself! I have bathroom curtain fabric waiting to be be preshrunk and made right now. Found the most PERFECT fabric. Just need to find the right rod before I start cutting.

[@jenniferannechampion]

Been watching since the beginning and I am so so happy to have witnessed you grow Wendy. From one stranger to another, you are absolute proof that sticking to your passions will make you a consummate expert. PS: In all those years, I've always been scared of touching a sewing machine so mostly I was watching because your videos soothe me. But I got a machine this year as a birthday gift. I named her Florence, The Machine and I am rewatching all your older videos to teach myself what to do. Baby steps for me. 😂

[@onetwothree7627]

Omg Florence, the Machine! That's such a cool name! I love the reference. Now I want to name my machine too

[@waterbitten]

Florence, the machine is just amazing! 😂😂 good luck with your sewing journey.

[@nicolemackinnon]

I love the sewing adventures so much more. I like to watch while i’m on my sewing journey. Often times it doesn’t turn out great but at least i’m learning 😊.

[@katerrinah5442]

I love that pink! It's been my favourite colour forever and I'm so happy to see it getting some love 💖💕 And good luck to Julia, welcome to Leticia!

[@Jollibuwaya]

the annual prom video being the spring/summer transition checkpoint for me the same way the blanket project video is the coming of winter 😂

[@ThrillsandStitches]

This is my favourite thing you ever made ❤ the colour, the silhouette, the craft, the reveal… just perfect 👏

[@lucy-janewalsh9047]

The dress looks absolutely amazing on you! What a knockout

[@harfir7169]

I came here to boost myself up for these last week's of school, and it really worked

[@sarahrichards917]

I love having sewing adventures with you but truly your videos taught me how to sew and I thank you so much!

[@annak2212]

I’m a mom with boogie wipes in my pocket right now. Pro tip: Uniqlo relaco pants can fit a bottle in one pocket, wipes and a diaper in the other.

[@viivi4196]

amazing dress, looks so clean and so pretty on you! also thanks to julia for all the hard work and welcome leticia!

[@norawotton5440]

I love this look on you! I’m don’t sew, but really enjoy your videos because of your presentation style and your beautiful, soft-spoken voice.

[@caitlinmason2353]

Her voice has made her my go-to relaxing channel :)

[@wendybutler1681]

Finally had the sense to make a pocket pattern and keep it handy instead of starting from scratch every time. It's a wee bit larger than yours, same shape. I always put a pocket in the muslin and flannel half-slips I make (simple a-line, bias cut. They work well with fuller-cut skirts without adding any bulk thru waist and hips. And very comfy! Flannel nightgowns get pockets, too. I also have a perfected kangaroo pouch pocket pattern for aprons and caftan-type use.

[@MsHedgehog]

Keeping it real is the key to most things 💖 For a tutorial, 'this is how I do it or how I did it' is perfectly fine and often very useful. Describing the former as 'this is The Professional Standard' or ' The Rigth Way' is where things can go wrong. I am new to your videos, but I think you are doing fine in that regard.

[@lizhumble9953]

I have watched you for many years! I love that you are going over the old videos and adding more tutorial content. Wanted to say the fact that you were not fashion school trained, helped me and inspired me try new things. Thank you!

[@Miranda_Maheri]

it turned out so good!! obsessed w the valentino pink rn

[@dianavoermans]

It gives such a deep feeling of happiness when you accomplice something in one go, that bothered you before. 😅😂 Never forget the little happy dance ❤❤❤

[@diodevs]

go go go mum, you can do it, I always excited to see you on yt whenever I watch your diy. from before married until now, im a mother too! u inspiring me so much to start sewing again. thanks!

[@zuzanadubravcova1307]

And wow, those clean lines, perfection those dress

[@erinnorris]

OMG WOWWWW it looks so good!!! And congrats Julia!

[@walruswaspaul7375]

I love how Leticia waves!

[@haleykirkseygraham]

Wendy you are so talented! I was so happy to hear your honesty about your sewing experience. I am self-taught too, so I make a lot of mistakes and learn something new each time I sit with my machine. I love watching your sewing adventures, and I have learned a lot from you. You are doing it!!! Congratulations to Julia! Sending you lots of good luck!!! :) And welcome Leticia! Can't wait to see what's coming next!!!

[@waterbitten]

Good luck to Julia!! I really loved her style in the videos she participated in. I was looking foward to see more from her but alas.

[@sarahcinderellabeth]

I read it as “satan is scary” and I was like “oh no! What happened to Wendy?!” 😂

[@ibtissamch5021]

Satin is satan 😂

[@rosslynnoziska4959]

That little green slip dress my grandmother made for me back in 19 oh64 for a hair show we were going to and then over the top of it. It had a see-through organza design on the top of it. It was so pretty and I wore it with silver shoes because she had put silver trim around it. It was just great. Wish I still had that not that I could wear right now butthey’re gone, but that green slip dress reminded me of it

[@siolupgb]

I love watching your videos! And it kinda relaxes me, seeing you still making "mistakes". I always felt like such a bad sewer whenever I got something wrong, even tho I am a beginner. But seeing you always pulling through gives me hope to become better and makes me actually keep sewing. I think without you to look up to I would have given up a long time ago.... Lots of love

[@jackchow397]

It looks great! I think adding darts in the bust area will help it fit a bit better

[@nohandle508]

Thank you for taking us with you on your sewing adventures! Your setup looks great. You're very brave, knowledgeable, and creative. Always happy to see you

[@sydneyb8513]

I used one of your tutorials to make my homecoming dress in 2019! I have learned so much from this channel and I will always appreciate learning with you 💖

[@valentinelemane6511]

I’m soo happy for the tutorials explained on the blog! Can't wait ! There are so many tutorials on your channel that I would like to reproduce but I don’t yet have a lot of sewing skills, it will help me a lot. Anyway, you rock this dress ! She is amazing! xoxo from France 😃😘

[@chairisma6055]

congrats to julia! I’ll miss the cameos and work but best wishes for her future projects 🫶🏻

[@TheSocialyAwkward]

Super looking forward to the blog!! Thank you for all the effort and time you put into these videos, I always love watching them!

[@blushandboo]

I've been following along your sewing journey for years (highschool thru to post-uni worklife!!) and your videos never fail to make my day!! I loved the tutorial-style vids and the sewing-adventure-style vids all the same-- I actually love how honest you are when showing your sewing process (mistakes and all) and it really helped so much as I was also learning to sew and making my own mistakes 🤍🤍

[@orsolyka_p]

You got a hungarian assistant! :D I was so surprised! Love your honesty about everything but also your videos are fun but educational, love, love, love everything about your channel! Keep going ❤

[@mamakulapapa]

✨💕this dress is georgeous💕✨

[@magicfrae]

We'll miss you Julia!!!!

[@BianchuFurioso]

I'm so glad about the updates on your old tutorials! I've been following you since forever ago and you helped me a lot with my sewing skills, so i've always wondered what was the reason behind the shift in content (which i love nontheless). Your content is always stepping up and we can really see all of the effort behind it! xx

[@Elle-eq4hy]

favourite project of yours! love the Prada inspo

[@helloemilymills]

I love that you're taking a turn back into some educational content! I've been a subscriber since your coloured hair days and really enjoyed your tutorials when I was learning how to sew. (Your newer 'sewing adventure' style is super enjoyable to watch too!) 💕

[@Sofia2crazy]

I always get joy from watching your videos

[@nstalgiaultra]

yaaaaaayyy she's back❤

[@adannaokere5392]

You killed it Wendy! Liked your video just for those clean pockets and lining installation. Great job!

[@Jelske]

What a cool update! I love your video for the mix of adventures and education! Really excited for this ❤

[@Jelske]

Who wrote the comment before the Julia news! You will be missed Julia, but wishing you all the best in your career adventures!!

[@mauricepowers3804]

So beautiful!!! I love pink!!!💖

[@Bexinmo]

Love the dress, hate the train. Train to me screams drama, and there is no drama in that skinny train. You look gorgeous in it, as always. I just need the drama!

[@katieburroughs3774]

I am so excited to see more tutorials! I've been following you for years but my own sewing remains very basic. I do love, as someone else commented, that even in these "sewing adventure" videos you talk us through the process and are honest about your mistakes. After all, mistakes are the best way to learn and it's so gratifying to learn from someone else's instead of my own 😂

[@00Montse00]

yesssss!! It's great to see past projects again. I discovered you with the video of how to make a long-sleeved sweatshirt a few years ago and with the help of my grandmom (may she rest in peace) little by little I lost my fear of trying it 💜🤌 for me if you are a teacher.✨🧑‍🎓I am making a jumpsuit with satin and uff I am taking my time because it is necessary to have respect for satin. Greetings from Mexico! 👋

[@wildlyimaginable]

Absolutely love this one! Plus…think and you shall received. At the beginning of the video I wondered where your assistant Julia went and mins later you said you’d catch us up. Divine timing that was. All success to Julia in her new full time position!!!

[@ka_africa]

loving that now that you feel confident, you're gonna start doing in depth splanation of your past projects love to you, to julia and to laetitia :))))))

[@ka_africa]

also, i think it is impossible to look more gorgeous and classy on the street!!

[@_kakfa]

in the words of the immortal jaida essence hall… “if you don’t know how to sew then leave non stretch fabrics the (bleep) ALONE! satin is DANGEROUS!”

[@wendybutler1681]

Did you see her win all alone in her living room, too? Always exquisitely styled whether in or out of drag. And she makes everything herself. She deserved that win!

[@amandaarruda2149]

AHHHH you took those last few pictures on my street!!! Fangirling 😍

[@vickipatridge5094]

Great job. Beautifully made and you looked amazing.

[@sareeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Ohhh this dress is so perfect, the crispness is so satisfying!! Also hello Leticia!!

[@shiraleeana]

Very nice moment of self-reflection 💕

[@sandramigacz1766]

Your sewing skills are spectacular! So is the dress.

[@KellyLira]

I love the sewing adventure format!

[@terrycuozzo5260]

The simple designs are the prettiest. ❤

[@blueberry_lemon]

Great job on the bottom of the dress! And the dress overall! Loved how the photoshoot turned out!

[@annastasiagrace8757]

oh this makes me so happy!! I actually followed one of your tutorials for my prom in 2017 and it was super easy and cute!!

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Oh my heavens! That turned out fantastic!!❤❤❤❤

[@TheClaraChandra]

The pink looks so good on you!

[@carizleify]

I just like your videos. Your voice is so relaxing. I just seen you on stitched. I was very upset when you got cut early. But I knew how great you are so I knew you would be fine.

[@veejayfloresca]

This is one of my faves!!! The color is PERFECT!!! =)

[@rosey_ie]

YES. Here for ALL the fancy things!

[@AOK123AOK123]

as usual, you ate this up

[@chocookat]

this was so cute!! I love the pink sm

[@nigelseaton8367]

I learned my lesson with satin, silk, and chiffon when I made a "very simple wedding dress", the bride kept losing weight and altering satin, 4 times is yucky. 🤮. I really like your explanation of not only construction, but that Met gala breakdown that you presented was everything! At first glance I was bored with what I saw. But you boke it down to the essence of what was good! I liked the categories!

[@orsolyka_p]

Oh, the "joy" of altering a satin dress :'D I know your pain! I recently made a satin dress for a client and had the same weight losing issue..

[@MLLL1234]

Beautiful look!!!

[@jilliehearth6679]

that dress is bomb balm baawwm 😍😍

[@Gandellion]

Ooh aesthetic sewing room setup backdrop

[@fruitchew]

so adorable!!!

[@RoTaylorsVersion]

You inspire me so much 🥺💗 Thanks!

[@TeriHargraveartist]

Wendy looking so elegant in that creation... 🎉

[@IsabelleShae]

A pocket is always for utility first and is important for that reason, who cares about how it looks when your hands are stuffed in! but also I don't wear anything without pockets so I've stopped allowing things without pockets to enter my wardrobe and I realize that's not most people lol. But! if I had pattern building skills I would prolly build everything around the pocket. Overall, your videos are so inspiring to make things like this seem possible to accomplish even if the road seems difficult, thank you!

[@janbertadriano7130]

It looks so good. PRADA

[@annasulina]

You look incredible!

[@hallgirly]

I always assumed you went to fashion school because you’re so knowledgeable and great with trends! I went to fashion school and don’t remember any of it 😅 🥴

[@Erin_Wilson_Studios]

The photo shoot looked so fun!

[@bebop1899]

I dont usually comment, but I've been watching you for years as I learn how to sew! (Back around '17?) I started watching solely for the educational stuff, and religiously followed along in the tutorials. If anything we've both just continued learning as we go. Sorry to hear imposter syndrome got you, it gets the best of us.

[@catstrauss7072]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@Opaleye36]

can’t wait to see the beautiful creations!

[@cinemaocd1752]

People who go to fashion school don't necessarily have the sewing skills that you do. Sewing is all about experience and if you don't put in the hours you don't get the skills. I have taken my clothes to professional tailors who weren't as clean/careful with finishing details as you are. Please don't underestimate your skills. You're not an imposter. The end result was stunning. This is such a clever design. Prada really is a genius.

[@Brwnbby13]

That mirror 😍

[@ZGreenGaming]

This is beautiful 😍
