ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on KZbin. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

(ad) Use code WENDY for an EXTRA 30% off your first thredUP order: bit.ly/thredUPjan21_WENDY If I am ever tempted to touch embroidered beaded lace again please remind me to rewatch this video 🥲🥲 the final looks could not have been possible without the amazing assistance from Julia who whipped together the signature Princess Diana necklace and the lace opera gloves (not to mention helping me overcome sewing exhaustion throughout the process). I know the pandemic has changed a lot of gatherings, formal events, and excuses to dress up, so sending my virtual hugs to those who miss these happy celebrations. If it helps you to get dressed up at home with me, do it!! 💕

[@marikotrue3488]

Now you have two assistants, Julia creates, fixes and sews while Sagwa makes sure the material is constructed properly.

[@TreScotts1Fan]

Congrats on the pregnancy.

[@MW-yh3te]

Your regency inspired dress turned out so fantastic! I think it was worth all the tedious removal on the beaded lace, because you looked stunning c: Also, I love your cat! Is it an exotic shorthair? 💛

[@nandephiri4113]

I started sewing recently and I got some denim fabric today. Do you think you could make a video about making jeans and other denim clothes?

[@valbonash]

Hi Wendy, at 11:15 you mention a name like Sulky a blue dress with exaggerated gatherings. As i couldn't find her, can you please post a link to that project, if it's still available? THANKS

[@marisadaniela6]

Ok, whew! So I'm not the only one late to the Wendy's pregnant party. Eeeeeee! How exciting!

[@withwendy]

Thanks so much! I announced in my last vid where I made turtlenecks since I got tired of angling the camera to hide my belly 😂

[@k.b.9909]

😱😱😱😍😍😍😍 Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vatham5862]

Same i was like wait what when did i miss this!!

[@estahxo]

Omggg I didn’t even knowwwww🥺❤️❤️

[@JYYB]

Hahaa.. i kept looking back at her videos and was looking for a pregnancy video untill i read your comment. Lol

[@mustafaerel2587]

WAIT I DIDNT KNOW WENDY WAS PREGNANT OMGGGGGGG

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

I was wondering but didn't say anything that is another "perk" of the lockdown, I was being sarcastic

[@jasminelambert3753]

She announced it last video!! Very exciting :)

[@hey6961]

Congratulations Wendy. Wooo hoo you’re going to be an amazing momma because you’re so calm and collect. God bless.

[@diajackson]

Me either! Doesn’t she look beautiful? Best wishes! 🤰🏻🎉

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

@@diajackson Yes I all is well

[@HelenBradley]

Gotta love the help her kitty is giving her.

[@withwendy]

Everything needs to be touched by her before it’s done, she’s a very watchful supervisor 🤔

[@RebeccaHails]

She is absolutely adorable and I understand the kitty needing to sniff, attack or lie down on everything you have. 😍

[@marisadaniela6]

Hair and makeup are ICONIC, Wendy. The queen of simple and yet poppin' looks. perfection

[@withwendy]

Thank youu, though the Princess Diana look was the first time I thought I should start a bit of a wig collection 😂

[@avfkash]

the Bridgeton dress is sooo pretty omg. i would def make that for my future partner for a baby shower situation.

You "tried" making prom dresses? No, you fully succeeded! These are amazing

[@akalutrinae]

Everyone reacting to Wendy being pregnant: I like how she didn't make it a big deal, like no announcement on IG and only a cute little mention in her previous video. Because there is already too much pressure on women for having kids.

[@Dumpknoedel]

Part of me died when she just vacuumed the beats instead of keeping them

[@carololiveira4831]

I know the video is about the sewing, but I was just here like “Look at the bump!! It’s so cute!! She’s pregnant!! Aaah!!!” ♥️

[@yottardfourie]

Thank you for voicing my exact thoughts 😂😂😍

[@AuroraCDG]

Ikr, she looks stunning 🥺

[@Brens.exe.]

Seeing your thrift flips makes me want to try it myself but with my old clothes

[@marisadaniela6]

Yesss. exactly the same right here

[@withwendy]

That’s a great place to start! I try to tell myself that if it’s something I’ve already stopped wearing there’s nothing to lose!

[@Brens.exe.]

@@withwendy yeah, I don't wanna feel super guilty for buying something and making a mess either way haha

[@joshow926]

Good idea!

[@emilybrown4779]

Also Seamingly Sara. Her editing is funny and she does a lot of DIY

bernadette banner also has that same methodic way of sewing wendy has but its historical sewing

[@FangToh]

The effort! The sparkle! The beading! The whole look! Everything is so magical ✨✨✨

gah! the dresses turned out so beautiful! I mean I never doubted you for a second but, you stay amazing me with every project!

julia is so cool this is the first video i’ve seen with her talking!! i love her vibe

[@sriracha_sauce]

Me: doesn't have a sewing machine nor patience to sew Also me: watches every step intensely and rewinds when I miss something Edit: typo

[@julianaschimmel7914]

Yes a prom dress video! I'm making mine for prom this year and have been searching all over youtube for videos

[@withwendy]

You got this!!! 👏👏

[@may.k_me]

Absolutely LOVE how your Regency/Bridgerton/Selkie dress turned out! Gorgeous 😍 Love the powder blue and the beading was sooo pretty

[@pinkreboot]

the second one!!! that dress is flirting with me

[@jscraftynook4277]

Oh Wendy, you look even more beautiful pregnant, all glowy and happy. Congrats and all the best for the rest of the way 💗

[@grungophone1615]

i feel like Wendy is the only one ive seen with a thred up sponsorship that actually got good discounts on her items

[@AwesomeVidzChannel]

Wendy: "The silver is like gentle but it's there" Me: What does that even mean? xD

[@janaondrackova4083]

It means it is elegant silver, not vulgar silver :-) As she said - more like grey but little better.

[@musiciseverything120]

basically not *super* shiny so as to be like blinding and very eye-catching. Really shiny things can take over an outfit.

[@salty_pearl]

Noticeable but not overpowering

[@lz738]

That blue regency dress is stunning!! You should wear it to all of your pregnancy doctor's appointments! haha

[@inlustrisfire]

Congrats on the baby!!! I am also pregnant and would just love for some maternity sewing tutorials. I personally feel pretty defeated by my growing belly and making cute stuff for my body. I don’t like stretch fabrics so any tips and what you’ve been doing during your maternity journey I would love to hear. There is so little maternity sewing content it is so refreshing to see a bigger sewing channel have some!

[@fishpotatoes6978]

Oh my god Julia is so pretty

[@thekingb.1096]

the way i opened up this video just to see if my bluetooth earphones were linked and it started with "it's working" thanks withwendy

[@n.m.8728]

Props to Julia making that necklace!!

[@ItsShahrzadG]

Omg the effort that went into the brigerton dress payed off 🙌🏽 its gorgeous

[@earthling9891]

that diana outfit- yesss!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@LS-vq2or]

your calm and kind energy and your talent and your beauty omg!!!!!!loved this video also I'm happy cause I finally understand how to line sheer fabric I could never make sense out of it in my head but the trick is basting + three layers I'm glad that I now know that!!! yes I'm overly excited about anything linked to fashion and sewing

[@whitneynelson5141]

I'm so impressed. The skill needed to sew at this level of difficulty, especially with an ever changing pregnancy bump, is so impressive.

[@lilliandorman7262]

Tulle tip: Gathering tulle is made easier if you zigzag over a stronger thread (like a coloured fishing line or a small crochet thread). It'll pretty much gather naturally from there. I usually get a piece of strong thread the same size as the length I wanna gather to and tie or stitch it down real quick to the end of the material. You'll wanna sew over this again with a straight stitch or do like you did with the bias binding in the first dress so it doesn't move after you've worked out the gathering amount! Thank you so much for your videos, they are so peaceful and lovely to watch! Hopefully this tip helps!

[@benji1282]

Maybe I’m late but did she just casually mentioned that she’s pregnant with maternity items. I support! Wendy is always awesome and best girl.

[@laurenmar1525]

no she revealed it at the end of her turtleneck video, however the announcement was still v. chill and casual x

[@breannejeethan3792]

I love this video! From how you handle the delicate lace beading, documenting the struggle mess, to showing all the details in the end. Thank you for continuing to inspire me with my creative projects! The beautiful final garment, the editing, the music it was all so incredibly done! I really really enjoyed it!!!!

[@sorenlundi141]

Those sleeves are gorgeous! I love the box pleats instead of more gathering, I'll definitely be trying that in the future.

[@judithritner9696]

This dress I just so beautiful! You are so amazing,the way you create your patterns, adjust them, and end up with everything looking incredibly professional. You are also seem so very patient, taking out beads and sewing with such difficult fabrics. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and inspiring me to try myself.🤗
