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! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@helenwood3199]

❤ the yellow matching sneakers with your dress.

[@prudentlyathome]

I love this dress so much! Would you share the pattern number again? More women should dress this way, it's lovely on you. Gave me Carol Brady vibes😉

[@michelleblount1336]

Happy birthday, you look fabulous ❤. Can you please tell us more about your tube turner thanks.

[@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 ❤

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@diannnec]

Happy happy birthday! 🎉🥳 super cute sew.

[@Lazydaisy646]

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

[@KarenMcNeil-en2fn]

Lovely dress and cardigan! Enjoy your birthday and wearing your dress 🙂

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank 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🎉

[@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... 🌻🍄

[@raraavis7782]

Resin belt buckles? Intriguing idea...

[@sewingseamswithdeb]

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

[@lee3171]

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

[@gemmasremchevich6719]

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

[@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.

[@kckazcoll1]

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

[@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!

[@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. :)

[@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. ☺️

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

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

[@evoltuionofself]

Looks lovely 🎉

[@nicoled2831]

Happy birthday!! Love the dress❤

[@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❤❤

[@ChristianeDesign1975]

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

[@BritInvLvr]

Gorgeous dress. Love it.

[@vintagemrsp858]

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

[@sandreawhite7534]

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

[@HelenG-xg3gn]

It’s so inspiring watching you make this dress and accessories

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks so much for all the love on my videos!

[@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!

[@ElizabethSharaq]

Your fabrics are really lovely

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! 😊

[@MartyMakesStuff]

It’s adoreable!

[@rodentary]

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

[@tashacouldmakethat]

10th here 😊

[@margaretbristow8943]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!😂😂

[@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.

[@Anastasia-x1c9r]

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

[@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.
