My name is Lucy, I'm a Dutchwoman here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.
On this channel I do mostly hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and I regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!
I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and history-themed videos are my little passion project.
You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and home & interior videos.
Enjoy browsing!
Love,
Lucy

A little tip: I find that if I spray antistatic or Febreeze (a spray to remove odors from fabric) on my polyester skirt it slides better and doesn't make the crinkle sound as much. Love your content ❤️

[@ceilconstante7813]

Great tip! Thank you

[@isabellapattinson1437]

Your dress looks like it's made by a professional. I love seeing you progress in each of your sewing videos.

Obsessed with this dress! The pattern is just gorgeous. I’m slowly getting closer to finally attempting to sew something for myself 🤣

[@shaeslays99]

Do it!! I started sewing skirts last year and it’s so satisfying once you’ve accomplished it! I made a dress for the first time this year and now I want to do soooo much more ☺️

Very impressed with the sleeves! I love the gathers at the shoulder. It does so much for the “feel” of the dress.

[@playc.holder6432]

Ikr; such a complete presentation! Love love loveit

[@soficaso]

This really is THE perfect autumn dress! ❤️ The only thing I would've changed would be using a white fabric for the collar, since the dress already has white stripes I think that would look super cute as well 😊 Thank you for the inspiration!

[@add_xtine775]

When I was little I refused any dress that didnt twirl when I spun around.

[@honorata3423]

I had a dress like that when I was little and it was made by my grandma haha I loved it! And now looking at your beautiful job I kinda want to make one myself (but without the sleeves). I am very comfortable with sewing bags/bagpacks and booksleeves but I am scared of making clothes. And also I wish my sewing was so calming hahah I am a sewing chaos 😆

[@TheSiobhan12]

LOVE, that your making your own wedding dress!!! Such a brilliant idea!!💗👰

[@jsmommy9804]

Turned out great!!! You can always make it in a wool fabric later :) You have come so far with your sewing, you seem more confident with it now. Great Job.

[@nelif3413]

LOVE that dress. Everytime I go shopping I keep my eyes open for something like that but I have never found a dress as beautiful as the one you made. Now I really want to learn how to sew to make one fo rmyself. However I would make the sleves a few centimeters longer, cause I don't like to have cold wrists.

[@creepyjenz764]

Yess

[@l0414ne94]

Your sewing videos are my favorites. They always inspire me! Keep up the good work :)

[@catherinelevison3310]

Beautiful outcome!! Basting and trying on while you sew really helped. I like your sewing videos the most. Thank you.

[@sarasokoowska1705]

Oooohh polish sewing machine 💙 I am from Poland and I am a seamsteress. I’m proud of you, you’re doing great!

[@emilyonizuka4698]

this is so pretty! those sleeves are great! I love watching you try new things because even though I've technically been sewing since I was little I still feel like a beginner since I'm always too afraid to try something new. it's so inspiring to see you trying things I've always been too scared to. now I want a cute swishy dress too.

[@creepyjenz764]

U can do it i believe in your talent 😊

[@GraciePattenSewing]

The dress is so cute! You could probably hold the collar down with a brooch or lapel pin too

[@ifinoexanthacos]

Love the fabric pattern. The dress came out beautiful👍

[@kaitlincrane_]

I love your sew with me videos!!

[@StarlingofAzerath]

I didn't know you were planning to make your wedding dress! It's gonna be worth it and I wished I had made mine. There are so many patterns out there and they aren't as intimidating as one would think, especially since you have several dresses under your belt. Just be prepared for all the yardage/meters you are gonna need haha

[@sowmyathomas624]

Your vintage autumn dress is so cute!! Beautiful pattern.. And I love it sooo much ❤

[@stacyketner]

Perfect flamboyant gamine dress. Added yin elements would be nice

[@nicoleminervini6978]

It looks amazing! Amazing job, given how you made it, doing your own thing haha it still looks amazing and you cannot tell! Well done.

[@emrysziegler7354]

A note on the collar! You were actually super close! In my experience, I find instructions tell you to stitch the top collar piece to the dress wrong side of the dress to the right side of the collar. Then you press the under collar and that allows you to whip stitch the collar down neatly and also keeps the collar laying flat. No facing needed! ❤️

[@alloliable]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful!

[@popovicipaola7688]

I love these types of dresses, and I started wearing them more and more. I encourage you to create more videos like this because are magnificient, and we need more content like yours

[@heyannabeth]

obsessed with how the skirt twirls when u move ur dress form hahaha

[@creepyjenz764]

[@emilylanier365]

It looks so good! I wish I could draft patterns. You're so talented!

[@MS-yh5lf]

Love love love all the dresses you make! I'm working towards feeling more comfortable with sewing so I can finally replicate them one day, but all of them in black, as it's the only colour I wear lol. Thank you for the inspiration ♥

[@MayLina]

Dress is gorgeous!! I also don’t like mockups haha, this nervous excitement to see how everything turns out on the piece itself is irreplaceable😂 plus i believe there are no mistakes that couldn’t be fixed as long as you do them symmetrical haha. I am just very bad seamstress, nobody should listen to me😂

[@maryambb347]

I always wait for your stitching videos.✌

[@MsSavvy9]

So cute! I just got a bunch of wool plaid on sale and I need to make this dress, but sleeveless because I live in cardigans... 🧐 ... and one piece on the front bodice... yes. YES!

[@RockinTheBassGuitar]

Beautiful!

[@Isabel-hl1jy]

I think for patterned circle skirts you are supposed to do them in 2 halves so the lines stay horizontal. the dress looks great!!

[@jimenaherrera8930]

Watching your KZbin channel gives me the same vibe as watching About time with Rachel McAdams, idk why, but it's equally relaxing

[@imohamedmatar]

PLEASE KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK

[@DistanceTraveled]

Pockets!!! That's what you were forgetting.

[@Loepsie]

Nope, very consciously left them out 😂 I don't care for pockets in skirts, I really dislike how whatever you put in them flops around when you move so I don't use them anyway 😝

[@marjoleindekker8298]

Hihi dat tafelkleed als mockup van de mouwen herken ik!! Echt super mooi gedaan dit en ik ben echt trots op hoeveel beter je wordt met elk project! Veel liefs ♥️

I LOVE this dress! this pattern is amazing, love how it turned out! The idea of sewing the zipper by hand will save me many future frustrations lol it kinda bothers me a lot, especially with invisible zippers. Love your channel!

[@zencat55]

pretty dress! there is a very specific way to construct a collar and sew it so that it lays flat. It's not hard and the results will be so much better.

[@janetlynn3397]

It looks great. I'm learning from watching you. I didn't know that hand sewing a zipper would be easier. Thanks for the tip. Oh yeah I cut my own bangs after watching your past video of how to do it!😊

My mother used to sew for me as a kid. I never had ready made clothes and I used to feel bad to be different. My mom passed away when I was 10. She was making something for me but never completed it. And I miss her and I want to learn how to sew because I feel like i can do it. (I know nothing about fashion) but I've always been interested in long sleeves and winter theme clothes but I live in Mumbai, india where it's always hot. But ya haha.

Beautiful dress! Although you hate the fabric sound you at least have a beautiful dress and a great prototype for future dresses. the cuffs of the sleeves are great. Another look that's great is flipped tips with the style you created.

[@ornellaibba854]

About the collar, did you cut little snaps all around in the seem allowance, it helps the fabric to stand better, and a nice ironing too

[@rsmrycross]

It’s lovely! It looks like you didn’t topstitch the collar. It may lay flat if you add that final step.

[@julithewizards1358]

A very pretty dress. And it's so you! 💗 And congratulations to your sleeves! 👏 With the pattern matching.. tbh i saw it coming.. 🙈 When you cut out the upper part of the dress on the fold it looks like the white lines of the fabric are not exactly lined up.. But in the end it turned out all fine. 😅✌️

[@josefinefredell6231]

So good you’re amazing 😻

[@monicapavone5030]

I got the exact same fabric in the red version. it so pretty but feels so shitty. I made a skirt though, so I'll be ok i think

[@rikkihutchinson8277]

Can you put it through fabric softener to help get rid of the sound???

[@yahooo563]

Hello, can we sew this fabric with an ordinary sewing machine ? I don't have the budget to buy a heavy duty one... I would like to buy a Singer (one of tge cheapest) and I wondered if I could sew wool and denim with a special needle maybe

[@allisonf.m.404]

So it really depends on what sewing machine you have, but you definitely need a strong needle. I have a older brother machine and I've sewn fabric like this with little to no problems 😊

[@nickymercer4398]

Love your dress and also love the top your wearing, where did you get it from? xx

[@567Katii]

What did you mean when you said you basted (?) the parts together on the bodice before sewing it? :) Also I'm not sure if I missed it but did you just sew the front together?

[@jodammerungii6134]

Basting is temporary stitches, usually bigger and looser than the permanent stitch. It helps with trying things on and keeping layers from wiggling around. Basically you sew things together in a sloppy and not sturdy way. It's really handy for things like zippers, collars and collar facings, and inserting sleeves.

[@shan-gn3ey]

Heej Lucy, de jurk is supermooi geworden!!! Wat zijn jouw favoriete online stofwinkels? Ik vind het erg moeilijk en heb niet een stofmarkt in de buurt zitten helaas.

[@Loepsie]

Ik bestel vaak bij verschillende, kies gewoon degene uit die heeft wat ik zoek (materiaal/kleur) voor de beste prijs :)

[@renskedollekamp6392]

Budgetstoffen heeft goedkope stofjes, maar gewoon gordijnen of lakens kopen bij kringloopwinkels is ook altijd handig! Daarnaast heeft ikea hele goedkope stoffen te koop, zelfs een natuurlijk katoen voor 2 euro per meter!

[@marahfernan6710]

Hi Lucy! I am wondering, does your sewing machine only sew straight stitch? Thanks in advance!

[@Loepsie]

Yes :)

[@jenniferknowles2023]

Now that you have made the dress, you have the pattern to make another one with better fabric.

[@Beata1214]
