Sewing My Summer Wardrobe Episode 1 | pomona pants, champagne field dress

[@opheliabells]

well, i just found you and was really getting into the whole thing, love the dress and can imagine it being a garden dress. I do sew but honestly only have sewn bags and doll clothes. I just can't get myself to sew items for myself. But having other hobbies I tend to spend my extra money on them instead of the fabric i'd need which is more than fat quarters and scraps that you would need for doll clothing. So I just watch a few sewing channels, and yours has been the first I've found that was just what I was looking for, sewing and chatting etc . My favorite channels are when people mix crafts also, talk about more than one topic but apparently going with what those podcasters say it appears that not many are like me so don't listen to me do the opposite, or just be you though I get you're trying to make money so it's important to figure out what the majority wants.

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

Thanks so much for watching and I’m really glad my channel resonated with you in that way! I’m exactly the same way - so many sewing channels are straight to business and all about instruction and I really prefer to just chat through things. It doesn’t get me as many clicks, but I feel like it’s more true to who I am so I’m glad you found me ☺️

[@littleredbee5202]

I love this style of video. It felt very like video chatting with a friend 😁

[@youwerewild]

I enjoy the long form video! I am watching it while I work on a tote bag.

[@Dranma51]

I like a long video if you’re showing us your sewing! It was fun!

[@LaurenRocks16]

As a non-sewer, I love this longer style video. I just love watching you go through your process and the final reveal.

[@Vanessa_crafts05]

Agreed!😁

[@caroline3907]

Same!

[@suekuly4723]

I didn’t even notice the video was long…..that’s how interesting it is to me. 😊. Dress is cute.

[@cakewalk___]

I love vloggy style videos! I don't really mind short or long videos but I do really like how this is kind of all over the place lmao, it's so relatable and less "professional"?. Basically a journey and not a straight forward how-to video yknow?

[@lisaadams5048]

I think the long will help the new sewers that are watching you as for my self I love it just watching you make something and talk through it is fun. I love the pants and dress I want them lol Yes I would love to see a shirt made for your husband that would to so cute matching cloths you made . I love to watch you sew things and grow things gardening and yes making your green house thank you for bring us all along your awesome. Lisa from Chattanooga Tn

Hi Becca! I truly enjoyed this long video while I did my chores. Blessings to you from Puerto Rico!!!

[@kibbit98]

15:32 a pair of De La PANTS you’d say…?😂😂😅they really did turn out SO lovely🌷💕

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

LOL amazing!!!

[@MaddieMettler]

I think a French seam would be beautiful for these pants! Especially since you used linen.

[@alexandrabattaglini9448]

Becca, I liked the style of your video. I came to the video for to view how you made the Pomona pants but stayed to watch the whole thing while I cut my Pomona's out. Definitely helpful and relaxed.

[@Mhe25]

I like your pattern storage idea and your garments are very cute.

[@colorblox4942]

I also used to only pre-wash fabric when I used it, but over time I got so confused that I couldn't remember which fabric has been pre-washed and which don't in my stash. So one day I just chucked everything in the wash and since then, I always pre-wash my fabric right when it enters my home. That way it's always ready to go! Thank you for this video, it's so interesting to see your process. The clothes turned out very cute, I love the herbal dress! Would totally wear that!

[@shellylemons]

I’m a beginner in sewing but the #1 rule I have learned is you wash the fabric before sewing if you are making clothes but you don’t if you are quilting. You wait to wash the quilt when finished so all the fabric, thread and wading shrink together. I love the pants!! I have some cotton lawn fabric that I want to make a pair of pants. I have never made a garment but I looked up a beginner’s pattern. I do have some fabric that I can use as a mock up. Getting into a slump of any kind is normal so taking a break is a plan. Just play and enjoy life then the inspiration will come. I heard you can get it from anywhere. I’m live in West Tennessee so I understand the heat and how suffocating it can be. Take care and hydrated. I have a sewing table that will help me sit straight up. I use to work in an office and that is a point that they press that we sit straight and move around and look into the distance from time to time.

[@michellemakeuptutorials]

as a non-sewer who was raised by a Professional Seamstress, I really enjoyed this longer style of sewing "projects and stuff" video :D thank you for sharing - and yes, I watched the entire thing:)

[@erinfifes3271]

Really enjoyed the long form! I love how you describe the process as a new sewist it’s really helpful

[@shaydnika]

Longer videos are my favorite, I'm not a sewer but I really enjoy watching (maybe one day I'll pick it up) I am a crocheter and one thing I hear all the time is "mistakes" makes it one of a kind, some people intentionally make a "mistake" for that reason. I dunno makes me feel better knowing my projects don't have to be "perfect". The dress turned out beautifully, great job! Can't wait for the next video!

[@klariaholmes2213]

i love the longer videos! i usually watch them while i knit/crochet because i don't know how to sew, but they're fun to have on in the background while i craft (-:

[@CaitlinSewsSometimes]

Love long sewing videos! It means you're showing more, and that's fun to watch (+ educational for newbies like me). Voice overs would work too

[@astoldbybrittany4342]

The Pomona pants are on my list to sew in the future. :) So happy to have found your channel! Really enjoying it

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

They’re super easy!! You’ll love them:) thank you for being here!

[@janetshepherd9062]

You are taking the same path as I did as a young sewer. Skip what you decide isn’t necessary. As you have matured, you add this things in and wow! Who’da thunk, they do make a difference. Such a cute pair of pants and dress. Love this video.

[@rhondafisher72]

I like this longer video, so fun to watch. I really liked the dress, so cute perfect style for you.

[@ritadebora]

I like this style of video. Please keep them coming :)

[@kaylahutton2728]

I love this style, I love watching long videos! Loved both of these projects and I plan on making both of these! Thanks for the inspiration

[@bstitched3446]

I really enjoy the longer, process type of videos! I watched while cutting out some of my summer sewing. ☀️ 😊

[@haleyhaley8777]

I'm a non sewer and I loved it (the long video)look really cute on you.. Just getting around to watch this one 🌿

[@clairewright5083]

I like these style of videos!

[@angelaattardo5939]

Love the pants and dress! I do enjoy a good long video, nice for relaxing on Saturday or having "company" while doing chores! Shorter ones are nice too. I think it's good to have a mix. 👍

[@natjoy22]

I really enjoyed this video. It truly shows your personality! And now I'm inspired to make a few more things since I still have my machine out from making my New Kids on the Block bubble skirt!

[@lexc1847]

I love your sewing videos! I liked the blog style long form ones because I feel like it really shows the process. One of my favorite things about your channel is how much it feels like how my projects go, when you want to start but you have to do 10 things first! I feel like we think very similarly and watching you do projects feels so helpful for me!

[@MaddieMettler]

My go-to is to immediately pre wash fabric as soon as a bring it home rather than waiting! I’ve been burned too many times by the same issue of wanting to sit down and sew but the fabric not being washed

[@AKnittersHomestead]

Wonderful video and beautiful fabric choices. I definitely prefer longer videos.. they're more satisfying to watch.

[@sherrycallaway]

I love the Pomona pants on you. I have been wanting a good pants pattern. I think I’ll give this one a try

[@AlexisMarkavage]

I loved the video! I’ve been in a sewing funk too, so I appreciate watching how you made these to inspire me to make a few clothing items. It can be intimidating. Love your style in general. You make me laugh. :)

[@ary7neo]

I loved this video, the length was perfect, and the content was fun! You really made it entertaining, and to be honest, you have pretty much convinced me to make both patterns! So please keep sharing! Thanks for the inspiration! :)

[@lcatt6940]

Just found your channel but honestly I like feeling like I'm hanging out with you sewing like this video was. I'm not looking for voice over, tutorial style just inspiration and company.

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

Thank you for this feedback! That is also what I look for in sewing videos so happy to provide it ❤️

[@amberharrison317]

Love this style of video! I just inherited my grandmas sewing machine so I’d love to see this format but things to see for your first time seeing kind of videos as well as this series! Very inspiring

[@miliconhobbies]

I neeeeed to make those pants

[@Emiley.15]

The way you did this video was perfect. Long is good. Still waiting for your video of the green house.

[@little-kokoro]

I started sewing just a few weeks ago, and I made my first Pomona Pants 2 weeks ago! I love the color you chose!! The dress is super cuteeee!!!!

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

They’re the best pants pattern to start with! So glad you made them so early in your sewing journey :)

[@holliyates10]

That green dress is so cute! Also I love the longer videos. I was crocheting while watching this video so I love something to keep me entertained🥰

[@suedub5156]

Love long vids!!

[@kirstenaleigh]

I'm a year late to the chat haha but I'm making the pomona pants now and the leg seams are supposed to be uneven like that. The instructions say to match up the notches and then stretch the fabric to fit in the crotch area. I think it's to give it a curvier shape. I've made them twice before and always cut them off like you but i just noticed the directions yesterday so i thought I'd share ❤ anna allen is a pattern magician

[@Heyreneesews]

I like your jazzy music.

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

Thanks! 😀

[@teresaortiz9902]

Love your all your videos but prefer long vlog style. I never get tired of watching you especially when silly things happen. Even though I’m much older than you, we seem to be very similar in personality and interest. 🥰

[@hannahcarpenter2749]

Lol! Top stitching was what I was waiting to see! What exactly does top stitching mean?

[@mycraftyhomegarden]

I love this dress pattern, I wish the pattern was still available.

[@miliconhobbies]

I like the vlog style but I think voiceovers over what you’re sewing is helpful!!

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

Okay I agree!! It's hard to vlog AND explain thoroughly what I'm doing lol

[@Nena91]

I agree!

[@Anna-pd6dc]

Rather than just cutting a single size, you can grade between sizes for shoulder/waist/hip. It's not much work and makes a big difference to the fit.

[@kylieharrison3782]

I love those styles. Though personally I would avoid the ruffles on the dress. Maybe even scoop the neckline down a bit more. That said what you made suits your body perfectly style wise.

[@maygonzalez989]

I dont know if you’ll see this, but 1- i loved this ❤ 2- you said 2yards did you make those with to yards? I have 2.5 yards of 45 inch fabric 🙈💓

[@BeccaDeLaCreations]

Thank you!! :) it was a while ago but I do believe I made 2 yards work. I don’t remember how wide my fabric was 😬

[@rusmiling9909]

Here’s what I’d prefer, the variety of both lol too boring with a fixed rigid format! Love the sewing with linen for summer.

[@shellylemons]

What is the website that you ordered the fabric from? I love it. I really like the real life videos. Just be you.

[@rabiyalakhani6759]

Thanks for sharing. Shouldn’t the pockets on the pants be on the back.

[@innaavdeyev]

I Don’t mind this long type of video!

[@EmmaLarissa]

Long form!

[@lindak8664]

You want your sewing to look handmade, not homemade 😊

[@rosieroo538]

I love the style of content but maybe cut it up into one garment at a time. I don't have very long attention span due to meds so I watched this in like 3 sittings haha
