This is my dream wedding dress! The color, the neckline, the bell sleeves, the layers of the skirts, the flow, and slight fluffiness of the skirt. And I freaking love that it was made of recycled tablecloths! If I ever have a wedding I hope I can recreate a dress like this. I've been married for nearly 25 years but we married at the courthouse and didn't have a wedding-wedding. This dress just sings to my soul!

You are one of the realistic sewing people I've seen. Thrifty finds to glamorous looks and maybe a nap if time allows.

[@linaochrasmus]

😍 The dress makes me think of 1940s wedding dresses. Thrifting material or repurposing things you have at home is a great way to learn. When I started sewing a lot of clothes for myself we did not have a lot of money and buying fabric from the fabric store was not something I could do often. I remember searching through my grandmothers old curtains when I was 14 years old. I found a pair of green floral curtains that I used to make a pair of pants. I loved to be able make something that no one else in school had. Thrifting and repurposing materials is not only inexpensive and Eco friendly, it can also be a big part of the creative process. Working with what you have often forces you to make choises with how to construct or modify your pattern that you otherwise would not have done. It forces you to think creatively and helps you grow. My grandmother was also a seamstress and she taught me so much and has been a big inspiration. Many years after making my curtain-pants I chose to become a crafts teacher and I have never stopped using curtains, bed sheets, tablecloths and old clothes both at work with my students and at home creating things for myself. My grandfathers name was Gunnar. 🙂 He was a skilled wood turner. He taught me a lot too. Never wood turning, but problem solving and fixing and mending stuff.

I actually revamped a dress for my daughter's wedding. She wanted her sister in her wedding party and we didn't have much cash to pull it off. i bought a used dress from a friend and vamped it up adding lace and a belt, just small details. It came out perfect and I'm so proud of how she looked in it. My daughter passed away since then and I have photos of her in the dress, priceless memories. She rarely dressed up so it's extra special.

I'm so grateful for the popularity of your videos. I really hope you spur other people into learning to sew. A dear friend of mine is a costumer for South coast repertory in Southern California. It is a dying art to have skilled artisans who can build their own patterns based off a design instead of having to use ready made. Your work is absolutely gorgeous.

[@nathenewendzel7806]

In the movies, "The Sounds of Music" and "Enchanted" there are clothes made out of curtains. My challenge for you (should you choose to accept it), is to pick out some curtains and create an outfit from them. You can make a beautiful dress out of a table cloth, so I have no doubt you could do this if you wanted to.

Scarlett O'Hara made a dress out of green velvet curtains in Gone With the Wind. It was gorgeous!

[@ebonymarieblack1530]

@@deniseandrews113I came here to mention Gone With the Wind as well lol. That velvet green dress is absolutely gorgeous! Although technically Mammy was the one who actually made the curtains, Scarlet just came up with the idea for it. Such an amazing movie, especially when it came to the set design and costume department. My nana introduced me to Gone with the Wind when I was in elementary school. I am 32 now and it is still one of my top 5 favorite films of all time. Would love to see him re-create that dress (maybe modernize it) using the same materials. 😍😍😍

@Ebony Marie Black Oh yes, GWTW is in my top 3 favorite movies! Would also love to see him modernize that look in a similar material.

I took sewing lessons as a teen, but never progressed with it, so I live vicariously through other creatives like Gunnar 😀

[@ebonymarieblack1530]

@@deniseandrews113 I do too lol! Absolutely loved Gunnar on Project Runway. Would love to pick up sewing. I'm only 5 ft tall so alot of the pants/dresses are super long on me and paying to have them tailored gets expensive. Plus I would love to create my own clothing and wear some of the items that I have seen him make on here (I am in love with that wrap style red dress with the straps on the bell sleeves and the slit that Gunnar made not to long ago. I would honestly get married in that dress... if I were to ever get married that is lol 😂

[@deniseandrews113]

@Ebony Marie Black I would def wear most of the outfits he creates. I'm a bit wider these days, so tailoring is usually necessary for me too. That's when I really miss not being able to do it myself. I even have a machine, but its use is limited to a seam here, a dart there. Gonna see if I can find that red wrap dress...

You are an inspiration Tom all who dare to dream! Your creativity, passion and skills are what we can all embrace in our own desires and dreams. When I watched you sewing and taping your lines for patterns, I immediately thought of this: “Dance (sing, sew, etc.), like no one is watching! “. …And that is exactly what you are doing! 🌟💕 I’m from a very small Iowan town, on the Mississippi. I started sewing my own clothes when I was 14 because though I am a woman, I didn’t have any curves or “bumps”. Nothing fit me. I am the oldest of eight children, so we are a large family. My German grandmother taught me to sew on her treadle machine when I was eight. We used to get potatoes by the hundred pound sack, made of burlap. I thought I would use the burlap bag and make a nice shift (1964). My father dared me when I decided to make the dress. He said he would give me $2.00 if I wore the dress and walked downtown in it and back. I took the only dare my father ever made me - and failed miserably! The dress fit fine and I had washed the “fabric” first, of course, but my father knew more about “that” particular “fabric” than I did. By the time I got home, my skin was red with rashes and I was sore all over!! My father didn’t make fun of me, he just put his arms around me and wiped my tears away. But I was never, ever sorry for believing I might succeed in what I felt strongly about! …..and I still got the $2.00!! 🤭 Don’t ever stop soaring, I see that you already have made your name! Congratulations, and as you have already guessed, I will be 72, well on July 31 st. I’ll give you some more next time! Take care☺ and keep true to your dreams !

I becam familiar with you on the short videos, great to see you make longer ones. My first wedding dress was actually made from curtain material because we could not find the tulle that I wanted in regular dressmaking fabric so we went to the kitchen fabrics and found just what I needed to make the dress. Your creations are just breathtaking. You are so talented.

I grew up a coal miner’s daughter’s daughter in the Appalachian mountains in Pa and my paternal grandmother was a seamstress. She passed away before I was 21 and started ballroom dancing. She used to make some of my dance recital costumes and they were beautiful when I was younger and I really missed her and her resourcefulness when up against those expensive ballroom costumes. When you don’t have much you have family and we were close. Lots of talent but nothing in my pockets. I wish I would’ve had time to learn from her. Your story touched me. The result was gorgeous btw! ❤️❤️❤️🪡🧵

What a gorgeous dress!! You kept saying that you hoped it would be "cute," and it is, but it has a lovely easy sophistication with the drape and those beautiful lace patterns. Thank you for showing your creations in progress as well as the finished products. Stunning!
