Welcome to my little corner of rural Canada. Where I share my sewing projects, tutorials and a little imagination of what you can make with fabric. Hopefully my sewing journey will inspire you to be creative by using what you have in your sewing basket.
Luba's Reaction To Your Dresses! #projectdressagirl2024
I know how you like seeing Luba's reaction to your dresses that you donated. This is the video. This is just some of the first installment of dresses I have given her because I am still sorting them out. These are all the larger size dresses you sent, I think I threw in a couple of size 6's but for the most part they are 9 and up. There were quite a few larger sized dresses this year, which is fantastic! I must apologize some of the sound is corrupted in this video, I tried to delete most of it out! The mic was picking up on something, sorry about that. I hope it is not too annoying.
Thank you all so much,
Shari & Luba

March Sewing Plans : Which Lining Should I Use?
Are you still taking dresses? I have been trying to contact Lyn Day who had sent me information and an address to send the dresses too, but she hasn’t answered my email. Before I make more dresses, I want to ensure I have somewhere to send them. Please let me know.
@@Jean-MarcFrechette Hi, I am always accepting dresses, year round. My details are in the description of this video. I would love to receive your dresses.🥰
Sorry I missed the live. Glad Uganda is sent off. I like lens mill when I'm in Ontario. Good to see Sue I was worried about her. Almost sent her an email.youre crazy doing craft shows. I'm with Sue too much work. I'm on bowl cosies, mason jar cosies and bowl covers before I send my machine in for spa treatment. The Christmas ornaments are beautiful. I always mean to ask is that a thread chart behind you?
I didn't know you were supposed to use a thimble for middle fingers.
I hope Linda has tried 5 out of 4s pattern for pjs love it.
Omg yes I hate wide leg pants.
@@bronwynmorrison hey Bronwyn, it is a color chart , it is a panel I quilted. I think it makes a good back drop.😊
@@bronwynmorrison well now you know, especially helpful when sewing thicker fabrics, you use the thimble to push the needle and it saves your fingertips 😉
❤🙏🏼❤🕊️🥳
oh the zebra one is adorable !!!
@@84laurellelewis so cute I agree🥰
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
And, although it's too late for me, I really like the rounded hem line.
@@elmapeters2969 me too😊
Perfect example for me . I don't care for the lower neckline either.
@@elmapeters2969 I wore that top alot over the summer. Very comfortable 🥰
Hi, Shari, so sorry, I fell asleep during your live show. I have been trying to fix one of my sewing machines, it broke down last weekend, I need that machine for quilting so I had to fix it. I finally got it fixed Friday, so I was horribly tired. That machine is heavy! I did watch this morning. 😂
@@sbrickett I'm glad we could help you get some much needed sleep 🤣😉 it sounds like you needed it. I'm glad you got your machine fixed! Talk about perseverance 😊
@@PracticalStitches , thanks for the encouragement! I have no choice, I don’t have anyone within 100 miles to fix machines.
Yes, 100% agree with you. Good call removing the middle waist band pieces. They really do make this dress look maternity. I've sewn this dress for two friends so far -- one pregnant and one not. I wish I had removed the middle waist band for the non-pregnant pal! All well. I am about to sew this pattern a third time and will add pockets into the skirt side seems. As well, instead of using the inner collar and V-neck panels, I just sewed a full lining, since my fabric was a very thin cotton. This helped prevent my dresses being see-through too.
@@samcdelaney it is a good pattern I am wondering why I haven't made it again lol. Lining it is a very good idea 💡 the pockets are a must in my books. I hope your friends know how lucky they are to have a special friend like you who sews for them. 🥰 you have reminded me how much I like this pattern❤ thank you and good luck with number 3 😊
It makes me smile knowing there's still good in the world thanks Shari and friends
@@brendamcmullen5146 I am glad we made you smile ☺
It’s heartwarming to see the appreciation. ❤❤😊so grateful for this video (and all the sewers!! It takes a village)
@@kristicitak3932 very true it does take a village and the sewing community is the best village I know🤩
Always nice to see Luba's Reaction. Cant believe she remembered last years dress. Luba's friend will be busy finding homes for all these dresses.
@@bronwynmorrison she really loves everyone's dresses. Yes her friends will be busy😊
I am so happy to see such beautiful dresses! The girls will be thrilled. 🎉❤
@@jeannie82024 yes they will, so many beautiful dresses❤️
Wonderful to see Libya’s reaction to the dresses.
@@joanneblair2087 I am glad you enjoyed it. She loves to see all the dresses.🥰
So happy see the earring going to Ukraine, hope the girls enjoy them.
@@HeatherVout.Francis I almost forgot about them, glad I remembered and was able to find them🙊 I am sure they will.
Love the dress with the tie through the pockets.
@@annewhitney8809 yes they turned out lovely. That is the free pattern from Scattered thoughts of a crafty Mom. It is a blog and she has many hacks to make the dress different. A very popular pattern.🥰

@@cindyredmond5721 truly is indeed Cindy🥰 a huge success. Hopefully I will have lots of pictures for next year❤
Well done everyone! The dresses are amazing! A HUGE Thank you to Shari for organizing everything! ♥♥♥
@@grandmaeh2035 the dresses are amazing aren't they! Everyone did a top notch job🥰
Instead of a live I thought you would enjoy this video. Then you get to see so many dresses 👗 ❤. Are you surprised by the number of dresses? Did you think it would be higher or lower?
I like the unboxing, the tutorials and seeing how creative people are when making these dresses and fabric combinations. So pretty much everything.
@@jeannie82024 everyone is so creative, you all amaze me with your pockets and fabric combinations. I agree with you.🥰 I will keep everyone's preferences in mind for next year! 😉
Struggling with low views and SEO on your UA-cam channel? Focus on keywords, engaging thumbnails, and consistent posting for better visibility
I am going to try this year making one a month. I only managed 3 this year.
@@joanneblair2087 I think that is an amazing goal to set for yourself. Sewing time is precious and I am always so pleased and amazed with everyone's makes whether it is one or a dozen. I love all the dresses so much time and thought goes into each one. Thank you Joanne 🥰
Im glad you have delayed sending the dresses because this is my first sewing for Project Dresses a Girl and wish for the ones I made to go with the rest of them. I just need to finish one more. Which should be tomorrow. And I’ll mail them Monday ! 🎉❤I went to the post office to get the customs form. I’m in Florida. I look forward to make more dresses for next year. This experience has given me a purpose to sew and enjoy it. ❤Thank you.
@@jeannie82024 I am so glad you enjoy sewing for this project. I will keep an eye out for your parcel. That is wonderful. Thank you so much🥰❤
You had a lot fewer dresses last year so you likely got finished sooner. Izzy could lighten the load. I follow her vlog
@@annewhitney8809 this is true Anne. The sewing community is so generous 🥰
Missed last night. Don’t know how you find time to do all that you do.😊
@@annewhitney8809 lately I'm wondering the same thing 🤣🥰
Good luck at your craft fair. ❤❤❤❤Blessings 😊
@@kristicitak3932 thank you 😊🥰
Amazing dresses. 👗 love to see the fabric choices others chose. So fun!!!
@@kristicitak3932 everyone is so clever and brave with their color choices. Love it❤️
Thank you so much. See how just asking someone a question can snowball into so much help for those in need? Amazing. Praying for those friends in the Ukraine who need our prayers.
@@sewterie I believe it turned into something special🥰
Just watching the replay. Gotta see all the dresses. Lovely dresses. I can't wait to find out what the final number is.
@@bronwynmorrison I know me to , there are quite a few parcels un route, atlantic fabrics have quite a few as well. All the dresses are beautiful and you can see the time and care that went into each one🥰 you were called a rock star in the comments you and Louise 💥🤩
I checked shipping from the United States, and it's not as expensive as I thought.
@@lmcjazz all shipping is based on weight and then there is customs. Depending on what is being shipped it can be reasonable 🥰
Very nice makes. I have been wondering about both of those patterns. Maybe now I'll venture. I did have a misprinted pattern recently. I reached out to the company and got one quick response saying that there was nothing wrong with the piece I sent the picture from, followed by another email with a pdf file if the piece I was missing. Maybe the responses one gets are very dependent on the person reading the emails that day.
@@nylirama yes I had great response before as well. I think that piece fits the 8 to 10 range. Because the pocket and pants all have size markings and the welt doesn't. Maybe I didn't explain it very well in my email . 🤔 I hope others have better luck than I did.😊
