Im saying to my self while watching. "Pin the scarfs on the tip of the sleeves" lol, it turned out beautiful.

[@HelenHobden]

Lol! Thank you so much :)

[@myfrugalraggylife7104]

You're not taking a risk mixing prints at all - think 'Laura Ashley', I mean the real Laura Ashley designs and fabrics, not the cheap insipid business it's turned into today, all the fashions much the same as every other High Street Chain, the dear lady would turn in her grave ! She mixed patterns and prints all the time and they always looked lovely. There's no rules really is there, whatever looks good is good, it doesn't matter what some overpaid designer says ! and all the 'sheep' (sorry - customers) say, carry on doing your own thing, you're a bright spot in a boring world.

[@samsilva3625]

So true.

[@lindabonomi7274]

This is so beautiful, I have never seen anyone sew like this before...absolutely stunning. Thank you!

[@HelenHobden]

I'm glad you like it; thank you! There are several sewing videos in the 'Stuff I make' playlist if you'd like a look!

[@barbarag.5521]

You're FEARLESS! Thanks for sharing, Helen; you are an inspiration.

[@HelenHobden]

Haha! Thank you so much Barbara :)

[@HelenHobden]

[@dispirited_official]

[@HelenHobden]

[@LindaS9239]

I could be your granny but I love watching your sewing. Thank you

[@HelenHobden]

Haha! Thank you - there are going to be more soon!

[@starrrburst]

Amazing work!! What stitch do you use to attach the pieces? :)

[@HelenHobden]

Hi! Thank you :) It's been a while so I don't know off the top of my head, but it was most likely zig zag stitch. If you're interested in finding out more about my wild sewing process, I have an online workshop coming out soon. Join my newsletter to hear about it first! threadsofafairytale.com/courses/

[@laurabuoni9710]

[@foreverflowersbyamanda9724]

I’m going to try something like this after Christmas I can’t wait thanks for sharing , I subscribed xx

[@HelenHobden]

Thank you Amanda; let me know how you get on :)

[@dorisamstutz5888]

You have such a wonderful eye for color and pattern mixing. I love your artful abandon when cutting and stitching. I fear my old school training gets in the way of creativity. Keep up the delightful work!

[@HelenHobden]

Thank you so much Doris! Yes, I'm not so good with sticking to a pattern, haha!

[@antonionize8913]

Perfeito. Lindo trabalho

[@ldr580]

so you just place the fabric where ever you want and sew it onto the garment ?

[@HelenHobden]

Yep, that's it!

[@mummamea19]

Why do u have 6 dressmaking models !? 😱😱

[@HelenHobden]

I have two adjustable adults - one regular, one plus size. One non-adjustable for display for online shop photos as it looks nicer; and three non-adjustable children; age 2-3; 5-7 and 10-12.

[@samsilva3625]

So don’t those fabrics fray when they are cut?

[@HelenHobden]

Some fray more than others. Sometimes I run a line of stitching near the edge. The more expensive dresses are usually hemmed.

[@purplesunflower8242]

So Cool Helen ! would you up cycle items of clothing festival style ?

[@HelenHobden]

Thank you! Yes, I have more of that sort of thing in my shop: etsy.com/shop/threadsofafairytale :)

[@tracysmith4941]

I love it, going to try to make one myself... thank you

[@HelenHobden]

Have fun! Let me know how it goes. :)

[@dionnechild7144]
