Rachel made me want to make a pinafore as well!!! That's actually how I found your video! Lovely job!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Yay! It's genuinely my favourite thing in my wardrobe now! Thank you 🥰

Quiet morning watching lovely sewing content with my cat in my lap and a cup of tea, bliss.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Sounds dreamy 🥰

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That turned out so beautifully. If you want some more length you could take a page from the 1960’s and 70’s. There was a lot of gathered ruffles and some very unique colour and pattern combinations!! Almost anything went together!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Ooooo that's a good idea!!!

[@kaitlynnkenney9140]

The symbol on the sticker on your machine is a reminder to change your needle after every 6-8 hours of sewing. That’s generally the manufacturer recommended frequency, but most people don’t track the time we’re sewing, so we just change as we feel it’s needed. So, no, nothing will technically explode if you remove the sticker, although you might break a needle if you don’t change it when you should. :)

[@sadiebelcreations]

Ahhh that makes sense! Thank you!

Meanwhile, I live in those dungarees from that brand. I brought several pinafore dresses but never reach for them. I'm doing clothes swapp with friends. But I have a favourite pair with a print I love that got bleach on the bottom. I think I'll have to give this a try! The outcome is beautiful

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you! It is incredibly short but with leggings or shorts underneath it's not too bad 👌

[@jonesyzajkolove]

Love it! I recently took an old skirt I never wear anymore and flipped it upside down and made a top out of it that I wear all the time now. You definitely inspired me to do this with more of my clothes! Love the color too. Green's my favorite

[@sadiebelcreations]

Oh wow, that sounds really cool! Mine too, I'm very tempted to dye all my clothes green and rock an emerald city vibe 💚

[@staceyking5350]

It turned out wonderfully! The colour is divine and it's cute as heck.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Hehe thank you!!

[@noemielamoll4921]

It looks so cute! well done:)

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you!!

[@CharredFibers]

Looks great!!! That scrumble of thread is because of your tension. Have you considered adding a ruffle or trim to the bottom of the skirt to make it longer?

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you! Ahhh that makes sense - when I put the little stopper thingy on the spool arm it stopped doing it so that was probably screwing with the tension. I did think about it, but because I didn't have enough of that fabric left over I couldn't think of what kind of fabric would work well with it 🤔

"Made from woven cucumber skins" Ha!

[@feeling-dizzie]

It came out so cute!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you!!

[@felicityhollis4613]

So cute!❤

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you! 😄

[@tammymeier9157]

21:15 is really good to hear.

[@annholmes9650]

Well done, you could always add a gentle frill round the bottom if you feel uncomfortable with this lengt.

[@sadiebelcreations]

Funnily enough I was thinking about that yesterday as I went through all my clothes! I may just do that 🥰

[@fursurebbz]

Very cool and impressive 🫶🏻✨️

[@sadiebelcreations]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@nixhixx]

You won at Thread Chicken!!!

[@sadiebelcreations]

Genuinely my greatest achievement ...

[@chrish2277]

Just needs a ruffle on the bottom to pass the bend test ;)

[@sadiebelcreations]

Ooo great idea!
