sewing a dress from scratch *project runway i'm ready*

You could probably sew around the eye holes with a zigzag stitch until they're properly bound (to look like fully embroidered edges, like you would with a button hole) with matching thread and that would keep it together, look intentional and get rid of the entire struggle with the eyelets. All the tiny bits of extra paper from the tissue would also likely come out in the wash if it's too tedious to get every last scrap.

[@ahumanaperson]

Most of these hobby machines have buttonhole settings which could also work 😊

**VISIBLE CONFUSION**

[@Scereyaha]

@@tirthavegda4136 As in instead of metal "eyelets", to bind those holes with thread instead, like you would with a button hole. but since she's doing it by machine, it's relevant to suggest she could try a zigzag stitch, because that's what people use when they don't have a special buttonhole function on their machine, since she probably doesn't want to do it by hand. She could reinforce the fabric with tissue the same way, and not worry about it staying in the finished garment after a wash.

“Heart surgery with a spatula” took me out

[@elisem4489]

i think that would take anyone out, honestly

[@shkmone]

@@elisem4489 True, so true

[@adrianatoruno7489]

the colors in the dress, in her room, it all just matches all just perfectly. *chef’s kiss*

[@nataliasurmacz]

Okay, but can we talk about how GORGEOUS Ashley looks in this vid?

[@rachelaugusto5860]

Yes, we can. She does look fucking GORGEOUS.

[@sophiemdt]

not just in this one

[@designlady1732]

Oh honey...! Go get yourself a zig-zag foot (to overcast edges if you don't have a serger), a zipper foot, a seam ripper, and some cheap fabric that you can do a test-run with before cutting into your beautiful dress fabric. There are lots of well-stocked notions stores on the same block and north (take the back lobby exit out of the Mood building) with EVERY SEWING THING you could possibly need. Thank goodness the dress fit. Nothing is more discouraging or kills the joy of sewing, more than seeing your time and $ go down the drain. Take care of your gifting. ❤️

[@nicischmidt7572]

Every budding seamstress(seamster for those sewing males) NEEDS a Sewing Big Sister or, as I had, a Sewing Godfather!(Godmother? Godparent?! Ooph!) What luck that you're local and willing to hand out helpful tips like this! It's so kind of you to share your knowledge.

[@sherpajacket]

this comment is so wholesome omg

[@designlady1732]

@@nicischmidt7572 So glad to help. Also, there are plenty of reasonably-priced fabric and trim stores within a 2-block radius of Mood, where I'm sure a tiny-floral vintage-y silk print is waiting for her. Bring a foldable shopping caddy with wheels if you go. You're going to buy more than you thought...👗

i can’t believe i watched this for free. you’re incredible

ashley trapping the cockroach in a pot and leaving it there is the BIGGEST MOOD.

I aspire to be the kind of twenty-two year old who tapes insects underneath empty pots and leaves them there for ridiculous lengths of time, before being rescued by someone who's normal. Something about that willingness to inconvenience yourself in order avoid anxiety...chef's kiss

Raavi Agarwal thanks

[@estrellassoliloquies]

*She's so hardworking* She deserves all the success out there.

[@sassles]

Something my mom does when sewing: she uses a white pencil to outline the pattern on the fabric after she pins it down and then leaves 1/2 inch of fabric around the pattern when she cuts it. This way you have a bit more room to adjust the fit. After it's all put together you can cut off the excess easily. :)

[@carolinapereira2886]

Thats exaclty what my grandma does, it works perfectly 👌

[@happycrab7829]

I do that too. It is much easier to adjust .

[@loghartheshitposter6691]

you can also use a little piece of soap with a sharpy end instead of a pencil!
