I know this is old but that fabric is divine

I'm the adventurous type but the best advice I give myself and it has proven to be a rule of safe-passage for many decades : "When in doubt, DON'T."

[@cassmacdonald-perfectlyimp2486]

If I may, I’m going to insert a word, to be said in the drag queen Tatiana’s voice: “Choices”. Absolutely love it. I think the bit I love best about your videos is the utter shade and sarcasm. You also make me feel a lot better about my own sewing errors and skipping important steps (that turn out to be most important later on 😂)

[@phranerphamily]

Yes it's now 3 years on and I just watched this video. This was beautiful and it would be awesome for you to maybe revisit it in a different fabric 😊

[@greyhaircrafter]

That dress looks crazy good on you! I love the fabric!

[@cherylhuot4436]

Nice job! The dress looks great on you and fits really nice.

[@LucindaSutherland-w2u]

I like this series but had not discovered your videos back when you were making them. Thanks for keeping them available.

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Miss Scarlet was always my favourite

[@StephanieCanada]

Mine too!

[@rebeccacamacho-sobczak4282]

Oh, such a hoot!

[@teressebirkett3387]

I love the dress, it's beautiful and very flattering. Go you!

[@bobstephens4504]

God I love your videos SO MUCH! Because you sew the same way I do, but you get it done. It makes me feel so much better when I sew the facing in backwards for the umpteenth time! I'm not the only one!

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you so much! Sewing takes time and effort. And undoing sometimes. 🤣

[@gemmaswain2251]

I wish I could do as well as you. When I read pattern instructions, my head hurts.

[@EtchedInTimeLLC]

This dress is so pretty!!

[@darklymoonlit]

The little Porgs on your collar are so cute! And "cuff (hopefully)" slayed me. Biggest sewing mood. It turned out great! And friends do sew with friends! Colonel Mustard in the Hall with the Wrench? I may be too ADHD for this series. 😂

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh you could see the Porgs! Huzzah!! I didn’t know if anyone would catch that. Check back on the 30th for the winner announcement.

[@BookCat18]

I still love this series ❤

[@WithLoveKristina]

I have NO IDEA WHO DONE IT because I'm super bad at this but ahhhh I love this! My favorite I think of all the characters!

[@StephanieCanada]

Aww! Thanks for watching anyways!!

[@jessicaneal8553]

I loved the sunscreen moment!

[@ushere5791]

great dress!!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Watching you adjust every pattern is interesting. Pattern or readymade, I have to adjust everything. I dropped 2 sizes and decided to make my new clothes, they will fit much better. Nothing straightforward because I thrift all parts. I have accumulated enough parts to get started, yay! Quilting does compete for time. Oh yeah cross stitch too. At least gardening isn't competing at the moment.

[@lisaterk9318]

Supposedly, to sharpen pinking shears cut aluminium foil with them. I haven't tried yet. Should get some dull ones and see if it works. Love your videos and now so does my daughter. She recommended you last weekend...little did she know.

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh that is a great idea! Honestly most of mine could use it 🤣

[@melodied4314]

Cute dress. Killer shoes.

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you!

[@sandrastinson862]

Great job on your dress.

[@margaretchristy6724]

I don’t think I have ever seen that many pins used when attaching a collar😊.

[@claudiareine7257]

Col Mustard with the wrench in the Grand Staircase

[@StephanieCanada]

That is correct. I wasn't going to give every room or person, have to leave some of it to chance. Let me know your guess (and IG handle) and check back in on the 30th.

[@claudiareine7257]

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Beautiful dress. It turned out lovely.

[@karengoldie6801]

Really pretty!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

I loved the this one and seeing you sew was awesome though most of the instructions were like another language to me! It looked incredible on you too xx

[@StephanieCanada]

The instructions in older patterns come along with a bit of "understood" knowledge (some of which I have, some of which I don't). So yes, they take an extra bit to figure out for sure! And thank you so much!

[@neldahargo5933]

even after the mask era, anyone getting close enough to notice an 8th inch difference in my shoulder seams is going to get the pointy end of my elbow in the closest, softest part of their body. 6 feet is still a good idea.

got my Coffee - Harvest Spice a caramel pumpkin spice hazelnut. Grand Kaffee are my Everything. spectacular vidi! see you on Halloween!

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh nice coffee choice!

[@cathyswope5174]

Love how the dress turned out!

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you so much! I am actually really pleased with it as well.

[@venlafaxinequeen421]

Do I now need a 30’s/40’s evening gown to cosplay as Miss Scarlet now?

[@melaniew4354]

I do find your 3-2-1 shit moments quite hilarious. 😊

[@somewhereinoregon541]

I regret to say I have no clue, but enjoyed your videos! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Glad you like them!

[@brandonhallenbeck7217]

Miss Scarlet is my favorite, because she’s red (my favorite color) and she goes first.

You were SO close!!

Thank you so much! This dress was a challenge but I am super proud of it.

[@lynn858]

Do you have any thoughts on if one tried to turn Flappy Bits like that into pockets? I'd want to place them over the hip bones - as you mentioned. And obviously they'd only really be good for flat things like a phone or thin wallet. I'm thinking a heavier interfacing, probably on the front, so you don't see the outline of whatever is in the pocket, you just get a bit of a bulge. I guess my concern, is if there's weight in there, that when you sit down, they're going to flip to the side and fall off of the thighs. I guess that could be rectified by tacking the point down to the skirt? But, that unfortunately means I can't make a belt and Flappy Bits as separate pockets which could be used with multiple pocket-less skirts. Safety pins? Ultimately I'm just going to have to try it. But any insights, are appreciated.

[@StephanieCanada]

Honestly, I would use the flappy bits to hide the pocket. I would create new slots directly underneath them and use them as a “door to Narnia” situation instead.

[@lynn858]

​ @Stephanie Canada *Blinking* Well that's a solid idea that hadn't occurred to me. And, apparently, far closer to how the 1917 Ladies 3 or 4 piece skirt is done. Having only looked at the line drawing, I hadn't realized the line down the center is actually a pocket slit. So THOSE flappy bit pockets (which it isn't apparent in the line drawing even are pockets) didn't even work the way I was imagining. I guess I can't use "I need more information" as an excuse anymore. :)

[@annelisevonhaussen7121]

This will probably be a dumb question but are all the patterns from the 1940’s unprinted? And when did the pattern companies begin to print on them?

[@StephanieCanada]

Not a dumb question at all. Unprinted patterns were the standard until about the 1950’s. This is primarily because McCall had patented the printing process in the US and no one else could use it as he guarded it fiercely. Most companies were able to start printing on their tissue in the 1940’s so you start to see Simplicity adopt it first and the rest quickly follow suit.

[@brendastevens8325]

How awesome love the dress

[@elizabetherne556]

Oh I just found you. Been binge watching. You totally sew exactly like I do. You have great intentions of doing it perfectly. Then oops. This isn’t matching. How do I do that? Ah, I’m just gonna do what I want. My seam ripper is my friend.

[@StephanieCanada]

Aww thank you! Yup, learn by mistakes is how I roll.

[@SaturdaySewing]

I just love your videos. I skip around or ignore the instructions all together and sometimes end up with regret and can relate to your sewing adventures. I've never played clue but am going to guess Ms Green with the garden gloves in the garden. My IG is Saturdaysewingdebbie.

Thank you so much! I try to acknowledge my mistakes so that everyone knows it is ok.

alternate title for this video...how to make a dress out of a pizza hut table cloth. lol its a cute style of dress but the pattern throws it off for me. it does fit well though.
