Making a Barbie inspired pink gingham dress 💕🌸 from a thrifted bedsheet

Just in time to wear it to go see Barbie this weekend, I've finally made a super girly, frilly dress from this pink gingham bedsheet that's been chillin in my stash for years.

Hi I have also been working on my style ""journey""I am typed asFG but have an overlap to DC ,the simplicity of the DC style I need to look good ,but I am a clear spring and can have many colors and patterns but the simplicity /contrast /normal connected lines are best , i like to see your dark academia style ideas ,and think you look very good in it too ,in simple high contrast combo s thanks for the inspo gr sigrid

HI Barbie! Your dress looks fabulous!! I'm so impressed.

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thank you! :)

This dress is absolute perfection you're so talented! I have a similar dress on my style board (baby pink with ruffles on the straps with a sweetheart neckline bodice and a rectangular skirt so basically the same) and the gingham just made it even better. If I could sew I would do this after you 🙈

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thank you!!

[@shanathelittle]

And a random video idea for you: would you be willing to do a video about how to spot quality in garments? I thought of this because your sewing skills I would think that you can spot bad / cheap sewing on a garment... You could show us a good homemade / vintage sewn item and one cheap bad quality if you have those already:) If you think this could be something you would like to try for us, I would love it 🙈❤

There’s so many people who’ve covered this way better than I ever could, so I think my thoughts on it would be redundant 😅 Justine Leconte for example, or Evelyn Wood Vintage Sewing School

@@OutfitRepeater I saw Justine's video I love her content, but didn't hear about the other one, I'll check it out, thank you. Maybe it's a me problem but I saw some how to spot quality videos where I didn't even understand what's that sewing thing they talked about because I don't understand the technical terms and I would need more visual explanation and definition. Justine's video was great but I think she lost me at the sewing terms as well 🙈 like I know that french seam is a technical term and I can look it up but I forget it, so it will not help me when I go shopping that I remember to look for french seams whatever those are😅 (I hope this was a real example, but I kinda don't remember because I didn't understand it thoroughly, that's the problem 🙈)
