Oh Sarah, you are so talented. I stand amazed at all you accomplish with babies in hand. Love your videos. You make things look easy to do. Thank you!

Amazing embroidery and baby sounds from lil henry make the video even more interesting. My motherly instincts kept me anxious but your soothing sound kept henry amused.may God bless you both.love n blessings.

[@rosiehinesley1508]

The sounds of the babies are a plus. They are precious sounds and they make me enjoy your video even more. Thanks

[@avantipujari5151]

Thanks Sarah for such wonderful advice

[@rme02001]

Thank you for making things that I feel like I can’t do seem attainable! I love your videos! I’m a momma of 3 little girls and am new to “heirloom” sewing, but something about learning from another woman in the same season of life seems to make me less anxious.

[@sarahclassicsewing]

You got this mama! Baby steps and enjoy the journey.

Outstanding!!

[@maryannoberhofer4649]

Beautiful!

[@gwendavis1623]

I keep 5 inch to 10 inch strips of fabric in my embroidery boxes. I sew it to the edge of the embroidery so it fits my bid hoops. Muslin or left over cotton, blends. Any fabric works.

thanks so much! shadow work is so fun

[@mrstukutela1766]

What kind of material did you embroider the shadow work on and what did you use for lining? Can you also use DMC embroidery thread or is floche going to produce a better result? If so, how many strands for the flowers? I have done a small practice piece on polyester cotton and I find this kind of embroidery VERY addictive. As I have said previously, you are VERY inspirational! I have never seen such beautiful and original pieces for children's clothing. I am DEFINITELY going to try and make a dress like this for some fortunate child out there!

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Hey there, thanks so much. Check the description box below for links to the materials. You can definitely use floss instead of floche, I'd use two strands for the bodice and maybe three for the skirt. Play around with it and see what you like 😊 remember, there's no right or wrong way here. Have fun with it 😘

[@maryannoberhofer4649]

Thank you!

[@deysisalguero5562]

We're I can find the patron

[@karenkeltner2014]

Gorgeous work! Did you use 3 strands of floss?

[@kitterzy]

When she made her first knot of pink, I counted 3 strands. Well unless 2 of the strands contain 2 strands, but I doubt it. My guess is 3. 😄

[@sarahclassicsewing]

I used floche - it's four strands twisted together, but you are not supposed to untwist. You just pull one strand at a time and use that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3jdd3l7q7Sijqc

[@mrstukutela1766]

Please let me know how I can obtain the basic dress pattern for this and does it come in various sizes for children between the ages of about 3 and 6 years old?

[@sarahclassicsewing]

Sure, so the bodice is from children's corner louise (link in description box), but any bodice pattern would do fine here. then I have another video that explain how to cut the circle skirt, kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3PWaKqifdl2rdE. The files for the embroidery work can be found on my etsy site, www.etsy.com/listing/664515378/pdf-antique-shadow-embriodery-work-motif?ref=listings_manager_grid and www.etsy.com/listing/699826313/pdf-antique-skirt-shadow-work-hand?ref=listings_manager_grid. thanks!

[@marievandermost607]

Dayum gurL how yo hand not in pain? Lol that’s so much stitching! This is so beautiful though thank you!!

[@sarahclassicsewing]

[@sharontuckerlewis7325]

Sorry, but I don’t see the link to instructions for braiding the cloche. Can you direct me to that please? Thanks

[@sarahclassicsewing]
