Looooove the pattern matching reveal EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks!! 😁

[@lindak8664]

Your dress is so pretty! You are the absolute queen of pattern matching, that zipper is next level! Safety pins! I made my daughter a pair of palazzo pants about 5 years ago. Put a safety pin in the elastic and told her to adjust the elastic to fit and just sew a zigzag across the elastic. I noticed she still has the safety pin. She said, they fit fine! I didn’t need to change it! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@tonia-deegraveson1760]

Are you SERIOUS !!!!! New follower here just stunning

[@jenniferlowery6326]

Love the dress, print, and accessories. I love watching your videos. They make me so happy. Letting us know we don't have to be perfect all the time. Good enough is just fine too.

[@helenwood3199]

❤ the yellow matching sneakers with your dress.

[@gemmasremchevich6719]

Love your birthday dress Tasha and the matching accessories. Happiest of birthday's to you. 🎁🎁🎂🎊🍾🥳💕

[@tatianablk]

So cute! And yes I'm always waiting for a belt buckle resin tutorial but no worries!😂 Everyone needs their own little secrets! So happy to have a new video from you! Happy birthday🎉

[@donnacoleman4624]

I love the dress! Fabric print is right on, my mom made me a dress in the 60's that had very similar print. I just love that dress pattern on u, you look so pretty and springy ! oh- and the jewelry takes it to the next level. U are a very talented lady❤❤

[@raraavis7782]

Resin belt buckles? Intriguing idea...

[@lindak8664]

Hahaha, safety pins! I made my daughter a pair of palazzo pants about 5 years ago. Put a safety pin in the elastic and told her to adjust the elastic to fit and just sew a zigzag across the elastic. I noticed she still has the safety pin. She said, they fit fine! I didn’t need to change it! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Your dress is so pretty! You are the absolute queen of pattern matching, that zipper is next level!

[@Chcoensews1975]

I love the dress and want to say how much I enjoy your channel. Happy birthday 🎉

[@vintagemrsp858]

Hi, happy birthday. Your dress is stunning as always. You always inspire me to try something new. Thank you.

[@emmadavey3892]

Fabulous! I hope you have a wonderful birthday 🎁 I’m looking forward to the zip tutorials 😊 I now do all my waistbands like you, saves me so much time! Thanks ❤

[@diannnec]

Happy happy birthday! 🎉🥳 super cute sew.

[@Lazydaisy646]

Your cardigan ❤️❤️❤️❤️ did you make it ? (edit) oh you did, fabulous.

[@kate-emvintage]

This is such a gorgeous dress. Love the colours. So impressed that you made matching accessories too. Hope you had a great birthday.

[@remmym6605]

I need to start forcing myself to draft an all in one facing for each of my projects. I end up just doing a full lining each time, which is nice, but it makes the project slog along. Happy early birthday! Think you can grace us with your birthday dress collection this year? (I haven't forgotten, haha!) :P

[@meganschweizer6697]

So cute! Happy early birthday!

[@KarenMcNeil-en2fn]

Thanks so much for all the love on my videos!

[@raye5072]

Happy birthday to you, 🎉. My 60th birthday is next month, you just inspired me to sew a dress. ❤❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Happy early birthday! I love sewing a birthday dress, you should definitely do it. ☺️

[@gglaurengg]

Love that you made the belt buckle. The dress turned out great! Also love love love your knit cardigan and especially those big yellow buttons!

[@kckazcoll1]

in awe of your print matching skills! Love your dress, such happy colours and print :)

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That is such a wonderful tradition! Happy birthday. The dress is stunning

[@Marty_Makes]

It’s adoreable!

[@lee3171]

I was wondering about the unique earrings you always seem to wear, now I know that I can't buy them anywhere!

[@patriciabennett961]

What a beautiful dress! It really makes me happy! So festive and springy. Happy Belated Birthday. Hope you had a wonderful day ❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Birthday is next week! 😁 Thanks!

[@sewingseamswithdeb]

Love the final look with the earnings included. You look so bright and cheerful. Happy birthday ❤

[@KlingonPrincess]

Well, the dress came out beautifully, the pattern matching scrumptious. I'm so intrigued with your resin work. God, please, I don't need another hobby! I have some of my grandma's bakelite buckles... 🌻🍄

[@SherBear88]

My birthday is this Friday, I got a new sewing machine and all I wanted to do was sew stuff for the next three days I have off…. and of course I have pink eye in both eyes! Happy Birthday Tasha!!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Oh no, so sorry about the pink eye! Hope it clears up and you can still have some birthday fun. :)

[@kdolguin]

It’s beautiful!!! And btw I went right away over to revelry to purchase your cardigan pattern. I love it!!!!!!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Fantastic! Thanks so much and happy knitting!

[@sandreawhite7534]

That’s absolutely gorgeous and it looks so good on you.

[@rodentary]

We share a birthday week. Mine is on the 11th or Thursday

[@tashacouldmakethat]

10th here 😊

[@GodsOnlyDove]

Now THAT is one satisfying pattern matching on the zip reveal! Brava! Did you use the tube turner set for the bow as well? Thinking I need this set......

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you!! I love a good zipper reveal. Yep I used one of the smaller tube turners in the set for the bow, it's harder but still easier than the stupid clip on the end of a wire thingie!

[@margaretbristow8943]

Where do I find the silicone molds to make the belt buckles? Love your videos ❤

[@marymitchell6733]

I've been following you for a long time, on your website prior to your KZbin channel. You talk so fast I decided to playback at 75% speed. Try it! You sound like you have had one too many cocktails! It was a blast, and so funny!😂😂

[@Anastasia-x1c9r]

Согласна что перфекционизм дело личное) Лучше сделать "не идеально" чем никогда не сделать "идеальное")

[@helenwood3199]

Front fabric flaw... Cut out a flower from the scraps and applique it over the flaw. Or, wear a brooch on the flaw spot.

[@ThatisSewSilvia]

You are cute as a button in that dress!❤

[@89marjob]

I hope you will hand wash or dryclean that dress.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

There’s no need to, it’s 100% cotton and I prewashed and dried the fabric. I machine wash and line dry most of my dresses.

[@89marjob]

@@tashacouldmakethat Arrgh! can't help it, I'm a dry cleaner's daughter.
