@@AnitabyDesign Good evening 🌹 you're welcome. Anita, do you know of any patterns for youth boys? My son is 14, have been searching for patterns such as button shirt with collar patterns and nice slacks and and jeans. I haven't come up with anything. It seems to be hard find patterns unless I'm doing something wrong in my search. I hope you can help me. Blessings 🙏🕊️

With the dressed up version you are basically wearing a hat and pearls (2019 makes can’t tell you .... haha loved that ) with the dress, look out here dimes Anita! Stunning,! It’s funny I would never normally gravitate towards the style of this maxi- I am basically the same size as you proportioned differently, you have converted me. I’m going to order the pattern because I have so much rayon and some of them I’m just stumped about what to make. I’m really excited to sew something different💎🧵❤️✅. I think it’s also a great style to wear into fall, thanks so much for sharing!

Your videos are well done. I especially appreciate that you have a plan for presentation before you start filming. I have a question about this pattern, which is beautiful. Even though I lift weights and try to stay fit, my upper arms are flabby and I like fashion that covers them. Could I draft sleeves for this pattern and could the neckline be raised about an inch? Or should I move on and look for another pattern?

Thank you very much for the compliment on the videos. I think you can certainly draft a sleeve and raise the neckline.

I would love some tips on how you did that. I also like the graphics and how you thoroughly explained the bell function, because some people may not know exactly what that does. It looks like this dress works for many different situations. Keep up the great work my friend. Lastly, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! :)

Oh NiLa! I encourage you to give it another try. Your mistakes are your best teachers. I encourage you to visit the thrift store and buy a bunch of old sheets (unless you already have old sheets at home). Use them as practice fabric. Once you have mastered the sewing techniques, start with one pattern. Keep making that pattern until you have mastered it. Then move on to the next. Don't give up.
@nilawarriorprincess4 жыл бұрын
@@AnitabyDesign Thank you for the encouragement. I really appreciate it! I think I will try remaking my favorite pattern again. My grandmother has plenty of old sheets to give me. 0h I didn't give up on sewing only because of my mistakes it also had a lot to do with health issues #sicklecell. I still love fashion so I turned my attention to fashion illustration & hand embroidery because I can keep practicing when I'm stuck in bed or in the hospital. P.S. Although never commented before, I've been a subscriber for a few years & have often prayed for you. I'm glad to see you back on KZbin.
