Hello🤗🤗. Your method of attaching the skirt to the bodice makes so much more sense than the pattern guide. Thank you lovely lady💗

Based on watching your video of McCalls 8312, I have bought the pattern! ❤ Your method of sewing the sleeve and sides of skirt all together makes the pattern easier. The only thing I would consider doing differently is not sew around the pockets - I would do that separately and after I had sewn the sleeves and skirt. I'm not sure if that would work just as well? There's a couple of videos on KZbin where 2 different people made this dress and attempted to sew the sleeve and sides as described in the pattern instructions. The result was somewhat messy in my opinion - having to snip the seams in several places for it to lie more comfortably. They both also seemed to endeavour difficulties placing the bodice to the skirt. (It didn't seem to fit well) But thank you for simplifying the pattern. I'm looking forward to making this dress; and I may even attempt to do a peplum top like your black one too! ❤ Lots of love from me to you, from England UK. 🇬🇧

What type of fabric did you use for the dress? It’s so flowy but also has weight that cuts down the billowing I’ve seen on other version.
@SewingTherapy Жыл бұрын
I used viscose linen for the dress. I'm glad to hear that you noticed how the fabric has a good balance between drape and weight, which is something that drew me to it in the first place

Going to have to grab that pattern, and use a knit with some drape. Your dress and top in knit rather than woven fabric is far more chic than versions I've seen online made up in woven cottons.

This is such a pretty fabric! What type of stitch did you use? Straight stitch or stretch stitch? I'm still intimidated by stretch fabric! Lol! I love your new dress pattern that just came out, but unfortunately, with my waistline or lack thereof, I can't wear that style! 😢😂

I used a straight stitch! 😂 I know what you mean but you can skip the step of wrapping the ties around your waist and wear your Hanbok as an oversized fit according to your preferences! ☺️

That's great to hear you're ready to start sewing with the pattern! The linen+viscose blend will give a nice drape and softness, while the cotton Vichy will provide a crisp, structured look, IMO. Happy sewing!

I noticed that you lengthened the bodice. How did you modify this? The blouse was a little thight fitting around the bust (I gave it away). It is something that is complained about more often with this pattern, e.g. at PatternReview. How can I change this and get your beautiful bodice instead, when I turn this blouse into a dress?

I love your videos 🙂 I have read that it’s best to make a smaller size than the pattern calls for when using a stretch fabric to make a garment from a pattern designed for woven fabric. Can you comment on that? Best wishes, Ann
@SewingTherapy Жыл бұрын
I think you should consider the pattern type, fabric type and the style you want it to be when you decide the size! I used my size as I liked to keep the pattern’s oversized puffy look! ☺️ If it is a stretchy and growing material, you may need to go down a size!
