Pattern so nice, made it twice - McCall's 8492 1970's vintage dress & top

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

That’s a good use for larger pattern tissue. I have to remember that tip😊

[@Manecoarse]

@@bluegrassdreams2seams510 Thank you. I just had to share. Omg. If you remember to try this, I think you’ll love it. 😊

[@angie1WC]

Love it. Thanks for another great idea.

[@Manecoarse]

@@angie1WC Thank YOU!!! 😊 You’re most welcome.

[@heatherbulwinkle3490]

i love your dress & top! you always make it look so easy! namaste :)

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Heather. Aww. Thank you so so much. :)

[@myralorraine]

You make vintage look so trendy! I love both pieces, but that top is my favorite! ❤❤❤. What a wonderful fun family reunion! Looks like everyone was truly enjoying themselves! That’s such a blessing!

[@Manecoarse]

We had a great time at the reunion. It was so nice to get together for a happy occasion. Thank you so very much. The dress drew me to the pattern, and the top has been pairing well with high-waisted pants. I love that these vintage patterns are available. Thanks again.

Super cute dress ❤

[@katherinebrockhoff8476]

I remember this pattern and probably still have it with my older patterns. I made several versions in 1981 when I was pregnant and added some extra gathers at center front. It was super cute then and super cute today! Will have a rummage in my old pattern box and see if I can find it.

[@Manecoarse]

That is so cool. I’m picturing gathers at the center front. I bet that really is super cute. I love how these patterns are being re-released. So good that you may have held onto yours. I’ll have to make sure to do the same. The dress is my fave. :)

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

It looks great on you!

[@Manecoarse]

Thank you so so much! I have worn both of them at least twice already. :)

[@bernadettethomas1496]

I'm loving the top and dress and a ruffle would also be cute, good job.

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Bernadette. A ruffle would be nice. I agree. Thank you so very much. I enjoyed making this pattern.

[@sslorah1932]

I too have made this dress. The difference is that I made it in the 1970s. It was the most comfortable garment I ever made. I'm planning on making it again soon. 😊

[@Manecoarse]

@@sslorah1932 Ohhh that is soooo cool that you made this dress in the ‘70s. I love that. It truly is a comfortable dress. I have been loving it. So glad you’re planning to make it again. I love how these vintage patterns are coming back around. :)

[@sslorah1932]

Yes, I have a particular fondness for the 70s. ❤

[@Manecoarse]

@@sslorah1932 I totally understand. :)

[@brendajefferson5984]

😂😂😂”I was like, whaaat??” 😂😂 too funny, my same exclamation when I see new fabrics or patterns. Nice choice of fabric and very pretty❤🧵✅✂️🪡

[@Manecoarse]

@@brendajefferson5984 Lol. 😂 Thank you so much. I was so excited when I saw the gingham fabric in the store. It’s one of my favorite fabrics to wear!!!

[@mmills5951]

I’ve been sewing for over 50 years, washable markers are genius for marking. I went straight to Walmart after watching your video. Markers and a hole much made very quick work marking fisheye darts in the 3 garments I was working on. Very cute dress. P.S. I also made this dress in the early 70s.

[@Manecoarse]

I love the washable markers for marking fabric. They work wonderfully, and I've never had an issue getting the marks to wash away. I have the thicker tipped markers and the thinner tipped ones. So glad you picked some up and it helped with your darts! That's great. Definitely worth having for sure!!! So cool that you made this dress in the 1970s. I love how these patterns are coming back around.

[@karenbensdon4643]

Thanks for sharing the details of sewing this pattern. I purchased it but didn’t have the confidence to sew it without a KZbin sew along. Your dress and top look so cute! I’m inspired.

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Karen. You are most welcome. So happy you have this pattern, and I hope you feel more confident to sew it up. Thank you so much.

[@vickipatridge5094]

You make some of the cutest clothes and they always look great on you.

[@Manecoarse]

Aww. You are so kind, Vicki. Thank you so very much.

[@rmorine6394]

The top is so cute! I loved the reunion footage. Reminds me of trips back to Arkansas. 😊

[@Manecoarse]

@@rmorine6394 Thank you!!! So glad the reunion brought back Arkansas memories. :) We had a good time.

[@jammymommy]

I’m digging that 70’s music☺️☺️☺️Love that dress!!❤❤❤

[@Manecoarse]

Aww, thank you so much!!! I love gingham, and I love long dresses. It was a happy marriage for me! :)

[@gladysscott526]

Very nice 👍

[@CreativiteeByT]

Lovely top and dress! I love the style of them. Your family reunion looked so nice. My youngest loves to eat and his eyes were bulging at the sight of the food layout 😂😂😂! Thanks for sharing!

[@Manecoarse]

Hey, Tee. Thank you so so much. So glad I was able to get these done before summer ended. Aww. So cute about your son’s eyes bulging at the food. Lol. Thank you for watching.

[@janebays545]

I wish you taught classes in person! And lived in Detroit lol. I need to work on my sewing skills.

[@Manecoarse]

Awww. How kind of you to say that. Thank you so much!!!

[@sheryllstarr7115]

You can sew anything, and it comes out better than the pattern.❤❤❤

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Sheryll. That is so sweet. Thank you so much!!

[@christalmiller2825]

I love the adjustments you made to the top. So darling ❤. I look forward to seeing more of your work and your sweetness. Keep up the good work.

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Cristal. Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate it. So happy to share.

[@downtoearthsewing]

Love the drama of the long dress!

[@Manecoarse]

I love that about this pattern too. :)

[@pambrown8378]

You always do a great job on whatever you sew. That blouse is really cute!

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Pam. Thank you so so much. I love wearing the blouse with jeans. I really like the way it swings out at the bottom. Such a cool pattern to sew up. Thanks again.

[@cindywinkler4172]

I love both outfits! The dress is fantastic ❤

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Cindy. Thank you so much. The dress is what drew me to the pattern. I couldn't wait to give it a try. :)

Nice shirt and dress! I love the fabric!

Great job! I love the print.

Thank you so very much. I love the print too. So happy to have found it.

[@sharonlane2328]

I’ve been watching your channel for sometime, however I have not heard you say your first name. What is your first name? I love your channel. You are a great instructor. You explain the various steps so clearly. I also love the “food” side of your videos. It appears that you eat very healthy meals. I guess that’s how you keep your weight in check and skin looking so healthy. 🌸🌸🌸

[@Manecoarse]

@@sharonlane2328 Hi, Sharon. So nice to chat with you. I’m Tee. Thank you for all of your kind words. I greatly appreciate the feedback. It’s most helpful. I’m so glad you love the food side of the videos. I enjoy sharing what I’m up to and what I’m cooking or eating. It’s fun. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for continuing to watch. So glad you’re here.

[@kimmy1984]

Nice. New subbie 😊

[@Manecoarse]

Hi!!!!! Welcome. So happy you found the channel. Thank you so so much.

[@ireneallen8162]

What an interesting video! Wow this will be a letter by the time I finish with my comment. The lavender jumpsuit you had on, you looked like a model doll, did it fit you perfectly!😊 The ruffled top was nice and so was the dress. I'm glad you enjoyed the reunion! But... how did your cabbage and chicken turn out? Then I would like to know, when you was putting your dress on the manican, the light brown dress you had on, did you make that? I also would like to know the dark green cargo pants you had on, were they ordered or you made them. I love cargo pants with deep pockets! You done an amazing job as always, I enjoyed watching, and keep up the amazing work. Love, Aunt Irene

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, there. Thank you so very much. I did enjoy the reunion. I had been looking forward to it for months, and it was a good time. Yes. I did make the brown dress I was wearing. I made it in denim fabric. I did make the cargo pants. I like deep pockets also. They can really come in handy. So glad you enjoyed the video. Warms my heart. Love you much.

[@bernadettethomas1496]

When you do the cabbage in the oven plz let us know how it turns out.

[@Manecoarse]

Hi, Bernadette. I can happily report that I got a chance to try it, and it was a hit!!! It was so easy, and the cabbage tasted great!! I think I will cook cabbage in the oven from now on! I hope you give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

[@cindywinkler4172]

Where'd you buy your yellow cutting mat? I love yellow

[@Manecoarse]

You know what? I've had it for so long. I honestly can't remember. I'm thinking Joann Fabrics, but that's truly a guess. My apologies.
