Vampire Kiss to all of these makes 🖤💋

[@yougotmeinstitches1847]

Haya. Absolutely wonderful makes is lovely fabrics 🤩Thanku 'sew' much for sharing 🪡✂🧵🙂

[@lynnebarren2410]

I agree; fit and flare verry flattering for all ,- great makes🤓

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you!

[@amberpolk]

The trousers are fantastic! I have an apple shape and I have been looking for a good pant pattern!! Thank you!

[@michellecornum5856]

Un-leveled. That's such a beautiful way of phrasing it. And it applies so well to so many things. What's wrong with Linda, today? Oh, she's a little un-leveled. A bit of food, and some sleep should even things out. Love the St. Lauren top! I stopped wearing trousers, myself, because, after 6 children I was EXTREMELY tummylicious. ( You really have some fabulous phrases, today! 🥰 ) How many vampire dresses does one girl need? Easy! Two more than you have! ( Always, two more than you have. ... If you make two more, there are still 2 more that you need.)

[@TaraDeighton]

Michelle! I can't begin to tell you how much I love your comment! You will have me smiling ALL day!

[@SassyTcreates]

That fabric on the garment you are wearing is absolutely stunning but on you it is perfect. Suits your skin colour and dark hair to a tee.

[@juliarushing1920]

I enjoy watching someone enjoy their sewing so much. Thank you

[@TaraDeighton]

Such a pleasure! Thank you for watching along!

[@rebeccaturner8340]

You have such a beautiful and defined style. I'm someone extremely eclectic and sort of between life stages so I've been trying to figure out what direction I want to move towards and watching you makes me want to go a but witchier than I normally gravitate towards 😅 I'm a very pink toned person from Florida so usually black fabric with tons of layers doesn't work for me. I've had this idea that I think might work for a capsule sewing project but it's a weird fusion... Sophia Loren meets Stevie Nicks? I know those are kind of opposing styles in some ways but I think they're pretty complimentary 🤔 (plus I get the excuse to make a witchy black peasant dress because both of them rock those). Anyway, your 40s meets high fashion edgey style is very inspiring and unique and I enjoy your videos. Hope you have a lovely day!

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you so much for these really lovely and kind words Rebecca! I'm so glad you're enjoying what I do and I love your description of my style ~ 40's meets high fashion edgey! Perfection! Also LOVING a Stevie Nicks/Sophia Loren mash up ~ I can totally see it and I can't wait to hear how it goes! A witchy black peasant dress is garment perfection! I hope you're having a lovely day and week too!

[@nkruczenyk4047]

I’ve missed your ‘recent makes’ videos so it’s great to see you! Such beautiful items, as always. Flaccid poufles 🤣

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you ~ I'm glad you enjoyed my recent makes!

[@elainebye9090]

I love your new makes, and I'm preparing to start sewing again myself. Those Lucille trousers! Those gorgeous fabrics! The vampire's wife dresse...

[@TaraDeighton]

Hello My Lovely! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the makes this time! I'm looking forward to seeing your new sews! ❤

[@lynnebarren2410]

Full circle hems always difficult...let fabric drop and get a dead-eye friend to pin...

[@lynnebarren2410]

Or chalk Mark if pinning too tedious for friend🥴

[@TaraDeighton]

Yes they can be tricky!

[@rosalie4069]

Thanks for sharing your projects with us. I feel so inspired! xx

[@TaraDeighton]

That's really lovely to hear ~ thankyou!

[@natalieduffy387]

Such lovely makes ❤ sewing vicariously through you currently as life has got in the way of sewing plans x

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you! You'll have lots of lovely things to sew when you regain the time and space to sew!

[@MichelleSMV]

That circle skirt in that fabric is soo beautiful! I do have some vintage (maybe? I didn’t check the listing very well) kimono silk. But I’m not really sure what I’m gonna do with it yet it’s such a pretty fabric but I’m just unsure what’s best to do with it. It’s got a really narrow width as well which is typical for kimono difficult to choose a project for that kind of fabric

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you! I really do love Kimono silks ~ so pretty! I have some that I'd like to make a little bolero jacket out of, 1930's style possibly?

[@MichelleSMV]

That would be a great project! A little bolero in kimono silk 💕

[@KarenMcNeil-en2fn]

Love your fabric 🙂

[@TaraDeighton]

Thank you!

[@creamyjade]

Infinity VW-style dresses would not be enough 😅🖤

[@creamyjade]

Also, who is that dashing grey hound?? 😍

[@TaraDeighton]

I'm in total agreement!

[@TaraDeighton]

Jethro ~ I had the pleasure of his company for a few days ❤

When you do the french dart does it go passed the apex? looking at their dresses up close I cant 100% tell and haven't drafted french darts before

[@rachelboothe5075]

I love the Vampire's Wife dresses. I am thinking about joining your Patreon classes. Do you teach how you made these Vampire's Wife dresses in those classes? I tried a couple of years ago to tweak some ready made patterns to make the Falconetti dress, but I just could not get the fitting correct. I have about decided to try and draft a pattern, but I don't know how. Do you teach how you drafted your Vampire's Wife dresses in you Patreon classes? Thank you.

[@TaraDeighton]

Yes I do! So I take you through drafting the foundation blocks {bodice/skirt etc} and then we use these to create patterns from ~ including the Vampires Wife style dress. It is a process but really worth it once you get your blocks fitting well. All the resources are there alongside videos and I'm on hand to help if needed!
