How To Pattern Hack

[@rebeccakleinig7718]

I'd love some pattern hacks on turning the rosa and hazel bodices into tops and blouses!

[@RoseryApparel]

I love this idea!!

[@elizabethtollis]

Yes please!

[@learysewingembroidery]

I love the ideas Rebecca.

[@feliciabacon9923]

That’s so lovely to hear! Thank you so much 🧡

Oww... I would like to do It as well but I have some fear about It... Do you have any tip, please?

[@sarabajonero2853]

Wow all clothes you have made are awesome, you're the best.

[@ArmindaHeart]

Would love to see a hack on adding in elastic to the waistline on both your dress patterns and how to add a button closure either to the front or the back of the bodices. Buttons down the front would be especially cute! Would also love to see how to create different neck lines to the bodices.

[@RoseryApparel]

Love all of these ideas! Thanks so much 😊

[@lucimathews8980]

Such a cute dress!! Going into summer here - dresses are wonderful. I would overlap and stitch the wrist elastic together to avoid a lump from the knot.

[@carolllundy49]

You are very gifted. I love them all. TFS.

[@chasingthelook]

I love the pink plaid shirt you were wearing in the measuring shots!

Dress #2 - 9:37 (For anyone who wanted to know) Love your projects! Officially a new subscriber.

[@slapperorange]

I love how both of them turned out, especially the linen bow dress! As a small tip for the linen dress, if you understitch the facing right after attaching it to the neckline (at 12:20), you won’t have a seam at your neckline in your finished product!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@divyapriya1368]

You look very pretty, made by your dresses... You have inspired me to start stitch your pattern.. Keep going..

[@daisyroe3777]

I’m thinking about making a keyhole opening in a future dress, but with a bow on top instead of a button... Thank you so much for inspiring me! 💖

[@blackcatz1364]

Perfect timing - I was just looking up how to sew bias tape around a neckline last night - and that bias tape maker was a revelation to me, I did not know they existed.

[@RoseryApparel]

How perfect! You need to get one, they are soo easy to use!

I used to own a dress that I adored and it resembles the open back dress! Just that there were more loops in the back and it was laced up. I've never made a dress before but I want to try making this

[@LaLaaLori]

This has given me some ideas for hacking the Hazel dress! I want to make it lace up in the back ☺️👗

[@RoseryApparel]

Such a great idea 😍😍

I had a beautiful 3 tiered dress pattern for my daughter, i used this hack to have the open back in a lovely dusty pink its so gorgeous! Thank you 💕

yes! thank you for those hacks, I will for sure try the open-back one! Very exciting! I also like the fact that I can skip the lower darts that I liked less. Could you also show us how to hack the collar to have it more open during summer? :) Thank you!

[@elizabethtollis]

I procrastinated making the hazel dress got the pattern and am so excited and now we are headed into fall (in the northern hemisphere) I'm trying to come up with a way to add a cute puff sleeve to the hazel dress pattern. I think it would be so cute the the square neckline

[@lisaf.7158]

This ist a great video, I love that you want the buyers to the most out of your patterns ❤️ A tip for making your own bias binding is to cut the fabric diagonally because then the bias binding makes much smoother round edges.

[@RoseryApparel]

I’m glad you liked it! 😊 Yeah I would’ve normally cut it on the bias, but I didn’t have enough fabric this time unfortunately

[@EarthRoses]

I would love to see tutorial on a Henley-esque pattern hack! Changing the top part to have 3-4 buttons (possible also with a collar?)

[@RoseryApparel]

Such a handy tool! Thank you lovely 🧡

[@lfuentes4098]

You could add a casing on the waist seam so you can hide the serged edge. And adding elastic into the casing would help hide the peekaboo down the skirt.

[@RoseryApparel]

Ooh elastic in the waist is a great idea!

[@mayjustdoes2582]

Wow ur dresses r so pretty ur amazing I’m making my dress for my confirmation with my sewing my dream is to be a dress maker like u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@oakavon]

Could you finish off the waistband with bias tape so the overlocking isn’t visible at the back?

[@MafaldaMFMAC]

Love this I’m going to make the long sleeve Rosa dress straight away!

[@damask_rosei8966]

You are awesome 😇😇

[@juliecorroto2289]

Luv your work! Luv your recommendations of fabric here at Spotlight! Delivery for other recommendations are so expensive. What is your seam allowance. Can’t find it on the free pattern.

[@linchen0130]

How much fabric do you use for the black dress? I guess it will be more than in the original pattern, but how much more?😅

[@ChiaraBettaglio]

Lovely both variations! Just one question, how do you finish the part of the skirt which is not attached to the back open bodice? Is it just serged? Thanks!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Yes I just finished it off with my serger, but you can use a zig zag stitch on your sewing machine instead if you don’t have one 😊

[@angelynnlugar9268]

What do you use for a serger/overlocker? I dont own one yet and am searching for one! What would you suggest? Thank in advance :)

[@RoseryApparel]

Mines a singer 14sh644 and I’ve been really happy with it so far 😊

[@martak8773]

Which you using the stitch to finished (14:50)? Have you overlock machine? Your finish seams are very pretty and careful

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! Yes I used my overlocker 😊

[@learysewingembroidery]

Thank you for the tutorial of this black dress with lovely flowers 💐 I have a question; if I don’t wanna make it oversize is that ok? I saw that you added two inches. But i like the idea with no zipper on the back. I like the lovely sleeves on the bottom. Please advice. Thanks.

[@RoseryApparel]

If you don’t want to have a zipper you will have to make it oversized so you can put it on. Alternatively, you could put elastic in the waist instead to gather it and synch it in 😊

[@fromwordstosounds]

Thank you, Janelle for the lovely tutorial. Yet, it seems like there's an open gap on the top of the skirt at the back where the serged edge is shown 😅

[@rachela3066]

these are lovely. How do you finish the top edge of the skirt where its not attached to the bodice?

[@daisyroe3777]

It was serged, but you can also zig-zag stitch it. If you don’t want the seams to be left like that you can also finish them with bias tape for an even cleaner look.

[@sarahjanewhite2967]

New sewer here! Question about sleeves, why do some patterns suggest to gather the top of the sleeve before joining it to the bodice? I’m also assuming you don’t need to face if you’re using bias binding? Thank you for helping me understand dressmaking so well!!

[@emmasly6619]

It's because some patterns - including the Rosa Dress pattern - design the sleeve to be a little larger than the opening. It's supposed to help with ease of movement. With finishing curved edges, you use either facing OR bias binding, you wouldn't need to use both. hope that helps :)

[@sarahjanewhite2967]

Emma Sly thank you! Helps a lot!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Yes, what Emma said! It also gives it a slight puff, which is pretty cute 😊

[@user-fc3sx2cw5x]

Question; I bought some fabric and now I am trying to make a skirt for myself. It’s all going well but I want to add pockets to the 2 side seams of the skirt. So far I am thinking on either adding a *regular side pocket* or an *inseam side pocket* . I know how an inseam side pocket looks like but how does a regular side pocket look like? I am so confused, does it not even exist? As in is it just an inseam pocket that exists for side seams? Please help!

[@koliveira0712]

Could you tell how many meters of fabric did you use to make the black long sleeve dress? They both look lovely and I'd like to do one for myself

[@RoseryApparel]

Ooh sorry! I should’ve mentioned that. It was 1.5 metres wide and I used about 2.5 metres 😊

[@nazmeeraosman5214]

Hi there! Ive just started my sewing journey and I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently - I want to find out when you place your pattern onto your fabric - are you placing it parallel to the salvage? Does it matter where you place the pattern?

[@khadidjalatreche]

Hi, I have purchased one of your patterns and I am so excited to get started :) However here in South Africa, I am size 8. Looking at measurements I found I am only 8 for the bust and 10 for the waist and 12 for the hips :o What should I do? Thank you for all the lovely videos!

[@RoseryApparel]

Hi there! Thanks for purchasing my pattern 🧡 With my patterns you can often ignore the hip measurement because the gathered skirt is super roomy. I recommend making the 10 as it will only be a little bit bigger in the bust x

[@khadidjalatreche]

@@RoseryApparel Thank you so much!

[@lorrainedash5736]

Hi Janelle, always love your videos and look forward to them. When doing facings, I learned recently to “understitch”. If you KZbin Understitching seams and facings it it will give clear instruction with what I mean.. What a huge difference it makes to dress making. I wish I knew this tip years ago. When you understitch the seams, the facing falls to the wrong side of the garment and makes a sharp edge..it’s brilliant. Check it out. Lorraine :-). PS, I love the tip with the little Bias Binding gadget..will get one of those next time at Spotlight.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to look into this 😊

[@rosafisher6684]

Oh my god I LOVE this! and my name is Rosa! Meant to be

Haha I'm finding it so crazy that I was looking for a new project, found your video about everything you made in 2020, I wanted to make the dress you were wearing, and then found out that it has my name! haha also I had a dress when I was a kid that I called 'my rosa dress' which was quite similar to this. Can't wait to make it!

[@hollysews1170]

How much extra fabric would you say you need to make the first dress compared to the standard Rosa dress? (I'm a size 10)

[@RoseryApparel]

It depends how gathered you’d like the tiers of the skirt to be, but I suggest around 3-3.5 metres to make the entire dress 😊

They look great except the exposed overlooked seam at the back of the open dress. Surely this could have been covered up by some bias tape. I definitely need that long sleeve dress in my life.
