Sewing McCalls 8312 Loose pull over dress with unusual side sleeves

[@houseinnorthcarolina9439]

The dress is very nice. The boots really make the outfit.... Great video. Thank you. Suzanne

[@Barb-w]

Loved your sewing and instructions, pattern is just ok. Really different style.😊

[@florencemoran2746]

The color of the lining looks fabulous with the color of the skirt !

[@GarmentofPraiseSewing]

To this day I still wear slips and surprisingly Wal-Mart still sales them 😂🤣😂Wearing slips were for modesty and on some garments whether you can see through them or not they make them drape better. I’m finding now I enjoy lining my garments to give them a better finish. Happy Sewing!

[@tishawright2780]

i always wear slips even if its a linning and I raised my daughter wearing them and panthose

[@colin101981]

You give so many tips and tricks when you're talking us through the construction which is so helpful. Looks great too.

[@faith3557]

Okay!!! I didn’t think I was going to like it when it was on the mannequin but when I saw it on you at the end…yes!!! I would totally make this dress. I love the way the sleeves give you room to move. Very deceiving while piecing together. It looks beautiful on you. I really like the fabric you chose. I think the busy pattern works with this style of dress. Thank you for sharing. As always I learned some new tips on this one. I am in the process of making my 13 year old daughter the marvelous Mrs. Maisel dress and the clipping you had shown where the sleeve is basically part of the waist helped tremendously while trying to puzzle piece maisel dress. Amazing!

[@mybucoliclife]

Oh I would love to see that when you finish!

[@MsVikkihoo]

Your theme song is so catchy. I find myself singing it randomly through the day. 😂

[@sallyadams3981]

Marie, you are a hu ge inspiration. Thank you for sharing your skills and tips. I always look out for your uploads. I live in South Africa, so our times are different. Due to civil unrest, we were unable to get Mccalls patterns for more than a year. I'm loving this one, so I shall order it and follow your steps. I just love your hand cranked machine!

[@lindak8664]

Lovely fabric! Not sure i like the way that sleeve effects the waist, but it was a very interesting technique. You did well working that out given the lacking instructions. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@florencemoran2746]

I like that the v-neck isn’t too low!

[@lynnshepard7485]

I enjoyed watching you sew very much! 💗 That’s such a sweet dress. Although I’ve been sewing 50+ years, I learned some great tips from you today. Thanks so much! 😊

[@NellBelle]

Thank you so much for making this video. I just brought this pattern. I am going to make my first dress since 1982. Also I am a fan of lining because I am just that old. 😔

[@user-jz9ce9wz1o]

This turned out nice. Good job.

[@carolreece9950]

Very interesting sew. Thank you 😊

[@barbaraatwell8613]

very nice demo, I mark special bobbins with nail polish, very easy to notice which one is in the machine

[@hyacinth4368]

I very rarely wear a dress, but I probably would wear this. It's cute, and looks comfortable, especially in warm weather.

[@TheMinot60]

Interesting hole punch, I’ve never seen one like that.

[@janicekenter9221]

I enjoyed watching your tutorial. The dress is very pretty on. I think I will give this pattern a try.

[@bj1904]

Thank you for sharing!

[@tishawright2780]

i wish i could cut the pattern so neat and straight

[@tracy1621]

You're such a wonderful teacher. I love the additional hints and tips you give us. Really appreciate it.

[@cor3944]

Also amazing for wintertime with a t shirt with long sleeves and boots. ❤

[@carolinesewall9319]

Hi what a lovely dress the green was, the sleeves were so big looked great Thank z Caroline

[@grandymommy4531]

Really cute. Love it in that fabric.

[@debbielatham4491]

I’m so glad you chose view c, I agree with you in wise to underline, and I love your fabric choice!

[@ccpperrett7522]

❤Lovely. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed watching and listening.

[@cherylross4238]

1:13:16 love your sharing your tips while sewing!! And all your vintage machines. I also have a hand crank which is helpful when electric goes out!! I also have a Featherweight , a 99 and treadle. I had a Redeye(66) and Featherweight at my cabin in N.M. but lost them to a wildfire in May😥 Love vintage machines! (And your tutorials)

[@gladyscolon9494]

The dress works for you. I’m not one that likes very loose fitting dresses. Love your sewing tutorials.

[@deidrabenson361]

Thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge! Great job!❤️❤️❤️

[@belledobson2007]

Not a big fan of the sleeve style but it was a brilliant educational post and I learned so much. Thank you

[@aribella6913]

Off topic, I’m loving your hair longer. Red hair is my next go!

[@mybucoliclife]

You should try it. Red is so much fun. About 35 years ago I tried blonde blonde but no one took me seriously, and then I tried brunette and everyone ignored me, so I settled back to red and people at the office were afraid of me, and at that point in my life I liked that 🤣🤣

[@kathiebeauchamp6905]

Love the fabric. The pattern not so much. You always do such a beautiful job. I have been sewing for 50 years but I have learned sooo much from you. Love your videos.

[@michellecornum5856]

Very late 1970s/1980s massive sleeves. Wow!

[@janfranklin2114]

Smart to line it, I’m a slip girl too. I think Simplicity is missing out not developing an app. They have to make a bigger effort to bring in younger sewers if they hope to succeed and be competitive.

[@carolbarbee5653]

I love it. It's a fun dress great for summer❤

[@michelewegman2173]

Very pretty dress! I liked how you always figure things out and solve problems!

[@gladyscolon9494]

I just bought Butterick 6706. I hope you’ll view it and determine if you like it and do a sew-along using B6706.

[@normacooper6377]

Thanks for sharing your project. 🎊 That lovely fabric looks very springlike. I know just what you mean about the slip issue.🥴 If we were just standing still all the time, perhaps it might not be a concern, but with motion comes the problem.🤭 Good call on the lining. (I loved the yellow gingham on the packaging, too.) This dress looks like it would be equally comfortable on the farm, at a craft fair, a luncheon, or even church-especially if you’re working in the nursery or in the kitchen getting things ready for a community gathering. Wondering about using a more fall/winter weight fabric like flannel or even a knit of some type?

[@Suzeequ]

What a cute dress. I might have to get that pattern! 😊

[@maxinekershaw9756]

Thank you Thank you!! I was able to find the pattern (McCalls 6750) for the red blouse. Hope I make a dramatic statement as you did. Thanks again

[@mybucoliclife]

Wonderful! I really love the pattern 😃

[@tamaradensmore6216]

It turned out very nice! I’m not sure about the sleeves however.😃❤️

[@theblerdshow]

That would be a great question for Mimi G she is a big four pattern VP.

[@kindraanderson5849]

Thank you so much for this sew along. I was wondering how the full sleeves would be to construct, you explained the construction beautifully.💞

[@marathorne6821]

The fabric is adorable, it is giving me William Morris vibes 😍 I am a tad surprised, given that the "bodice" is cut twice, they didn't find a way to enclose the seam where the sleeves are attached so it would be neater inside... but maybe that would have complicated the "waist" seam even more? Personally I am not keen on how the sleeves are attached to the waist. However, the end result looks really cute.

[@Andyscrap]

Love the fabric, but not so much the boxy shape. Still, you did a great job in the making and the tutorial.

[@bebe1658]

Another great tutorial. Really different style of pattern made easy by your excellent teaching skill. Thank you so much.

[@suzannewilman7634]

Love the pattern and the fabric. A great dress, thanks for the sewing tips.

[@cleanqueen75]

Cute dress! Love your channel from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. You look like you’re in the Athens Ohio area. I grew up in central western Ohio where it’s pretty flat.

[@mybucoliclife]

Hi! Closer to Marietta. Very hilly 😁

[@cleanqueen75]

@@mybucoliclife Love that area of Ohio!

[@joycehayhow8]

I just found your channel. You are a fabulous teacher and clearly a very talented seamstress. I would have never figured out those tricky bits. I have only been sewing a few years and almost exclusively use indie patterns because the directions are so much clearer. That’s not to say I don’t still find myself puzzled on occasion. Do you only use Big 4 patterns?

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello! Thank you, and yes I usually use the big four patterns or at least the ones that you can commonly purchase at Joann's so that includes new look and sometimes a random burda.

[@brendajefferson5984]

Very nice, Marie. Adding the lining is a great idea as it gave the skirt more depth and it appears to balance those voluminous sleeves. I like this dress and I may give it a go. The fabric is nice and I love the neckline. Thanks for sharing 😊❤. Oversized sleeves are having a field day right now😂

[@mybucoliclife]

Love big sleeves! 🤣

[@shanaygertze]

If the big 4 can create an App with PDF patterns they will gain a wider customer base and save on printing costs. I'm from Cape Town. To order patterns from the big 4 will take 3-4 months to get delivered. I only sew from PDF patterns. I know Simply delightful does PDF pattens. But Vouge patterns are not PDF. But an App would be an awesome.

[@skirtedgalleons]

Cute fabric! The easing at the seam with hand stitiches is a good tip. Thanks! The sleeves pulling up the dress when you raise your arms is not something I could tolerate wearing. There's a Seamwork blouse pattern called the "Aims" that has similar gathers around a central placket and big gathered sleeves, but in the Seamwork webpage pattern photos they pointedly have a shot of a model raising her arms comfortably way over her head with no pulling at the waist. Might be an interesting pattern to try! I'd love to see you make some patterns from an indie pattern company.

[@mybucoliclife]

One of the options on this pattern is to make the sleeves without the band, and I considered that because it would give a lot more freedom of movement, but I was concerned that when I raised my arm you'd be able to see all the way to my bust. I've actually worn it several times now and it's okay it doesn't bother me 🤣🤣

[@franromany8096]

Hi... thank you so much for this video. Can you say which ABCD finished waist measurement you used yo cut your pattern?

[@mybucoliclife]

I usually cut size 16 ☺️

[@marynaylor1741]

Have you ever made S 2345

[@mybucoliclife]

No, I don't think so...

[@florencemoran2746]

Is the pattern high-waisted?

[@mybucoliclife]

yes I think it is

[@sewing-Susan]

I don’t like that sleeve waist to bodice situation. It seems jenky. Brittany J. Jones started and stopped at the dots. I’m not sure if that will lay flat??

[@autumn88310]

I worked Retail. One day a young associate came to me very distressed and asked me what a "slip" was. I told her it's a piece of lingerie that goes under a skirt or dress. She had no clue. I helped her and the customer find one. The associate asked me what it's for???? I explained and she too asked, "So they see our legs so what?"

[@MS-mq1fb]

I have this pattern and have held off making it, trying to figure out how it would work with larger breasts. Doesn't look like you can add length in the bodice.

[@barbaraharsch3048]

Didn't really like the dress especially for me.. It looks like one of my flannel nightgowns.. construction seemed screwed up whoever designed this should stop drinking so much

[@KD-vs3eu]

Rude

[@brendastevens8325]

I have a ruffler foot it is awesome...

[@amiinsc7775]

Do love watching your sewing methods and tips, but sorry...not a fan of this one....think it's because of the way the sleeves are designed.

[@crafteed]

Of all the years & gathers I've been sewing, I've never heard the tip of putting a heavier thread in the bobbin. 🧵 😮 Makes so much sense! Would have saved me hours of frustration from thread breakage...or just avoiding patterns with lots of gathering.

[@mybucoliclife]

Glad it was helpful! We're all still learning new things 😁
