Thanks for sharing your adorable dresses for Project Dress a Girl. I love the beautiful colors. I plan to sew several up this year. One of them I will sew with my 6 year old granddaughter who loves to sew and also has a real heart for children in need.

Such pretty dresses, great choice of fabric. This is my second year, I made five pop over sun dress last year. This time I have finished four with six more cut out. All of these are for the size twelve as they mentioned they get fewer of this size. I also downloaded the Alisa’s latest pattern & will make a few of these. Re the pockets I always line mine & as you mentioned it strengthens them. Thank you great video.❤

What a great find! I will have to grab that new pattern!

I love the Popover Sundress and have made several for PDAG 2024.

I go off pattern instructions too and double up the fabric for pockets for stability. Lovely dresses xx

I always do the double layer patch pockets too. They don't stretch out the way single layer pocket. Plus trying to iron over the edge. Is stressful

The girls who receive your dresses are going to be so happy with them!

Lovely dresses! Project Dress A Girl is such a feel good thing for me. I combine it with my love of thrifting... it's amazing how much donated quilting cotton I find during the year. Thanks for the smiles 🥰

Michelle, you have such a great eye for stylishly matching colors and prints together. Not everyone is able to be as adept at this. What a great gift. I love color! Super cute dresses! 🥰 Bernadette

I’m coming back to quilting after 24 year hiatus and not interested in traditional blocks and a whole lot of perfect. I planning on collage, and art quilts for placemats using Ankara remnants . I’m drawn to improvisational quilting. I’m a former rule follower turned rule breaker in garment sewing 🪡 and quilting now😮. But great to see you again. Sometimes we need breaks even from the hobbies we love. And, I love your dress. I make those as well.

Def give the business a try, and see how it goes! I wonder if “Hand-dyed” would bring more traffic than “Ice-dyed”, since it’s a more broad description? 🤔 I cannot imagine weeding all that vinyl for the cruise shirts! 😱 You are AMAZEBALLS! 💗

I just made it yesterday. I lengthened it by 7” but it’s very large and boxy, no shape at all to it. I also lengthened the sleeves.to full length.

I’m pretty new at following print out patterns (or patterns at all)/beginner at sewing and decided this jumpsuit would be a good starting point. Immediately got intimidated by the pattern lol, but your video was really helpful and informative, thank you!!

Michelle, I would love it if you had a channel and sold your ice dyed fabric, as I would be the first one in line and purchase as much as I cold. Yor fabric that you create is wonderful. All of the dresses were beautiful and looked gorgeous on you.!! I get so much inspiration from you. It is good to see you back. 😀❤

Some really pretty sewing! Thanks for sharing. I confess I didn’t know the click into a queue information.😱🤣

Hi Michelle. I'd love to buy some of your ice dyed fabric! All the pieces you've shown have been gorgeous. If you're at the concept stage, I'm not sure if you want any details yet. But others have already mentioned fabric bases, so I'll offer my preferences. My favorite fabric is jersey knit of 95% pima cotton with 5% spandex. That mix seems to be the most dependably soft cotton-spandex fabric. The softness is what makes me want to buy more of what's on offer along with rich wonderful colors and patterns. Same with rayon wovens -- the ones that are soft are the most appealing to me. That even applies to woven cotton fabric for me -- the softer ones like cotton lawn are often more appealing to me for garments. I make quilts too. For those projects, I'm usually looking for light but densely woven cotton fabrics with beautiful prints or colors; to me softness is nice but not essential for that use. I think it's exciting that you might create a business and hope it could be structured to result in a decent income for you and all the time you invest in creating the fabric. Wishing you the best as you think about possibilities and jump into researching and learning and expanding horizons, Antonia

Love the dresses. The tropical one turned out really cute.

I would love to buy your fabric. I would wear it and quilt with it!

Love both the dresses I have sewn s/arc cocoon dress with adjustments i Love it great fabrics oooogreat colours lots of fun ahead 😊😊😊

Hey its great to see you and hear what you are up to. Maybe a tee shirt business is in your future too.

I don’t recall if you have a serger or not. You could run the towels for your swatches through the serger and it would cut them and finish one edge of the fabric. You’d have to run the opposite edge(s) through serger separately. Just an idea if your pinking rotary blade doesn’t work well. I have one and dislike it.

Ice dyed fabric buy the yard would be fantastic

That was a lot, and it was fun! You made some beautiful dresses. I don’t know about the fabric biz, but you have a lot of followers who love your ice dying.

First thing you made was absolutely beautiful on you. The tropical one was very nice. ❤

Hi Cuz! I love all the pretty fabrics! I've never sewn with scuba, is it easy to work with? The idea of being able to buy ice dyed fabric sounds great to me.. I would definitely be a customer.

I would be interested in purchasing your ice-dyed fabric by the yard. I’ve made a number of ice-dyed t-shirts but don’t have the room for setting up to do yardage. Yours are so beautiful!

Oh my gosh.... I've got a zigzag blade in my set of refills for the rotary cutter. Never thought to actually use it as pinking sheers.... Like a big DUHHHH😵‍💫 I have wrist problems too and those pinking sheers are just useless for me.

Hi Michele, great to see you again! 😁 I love love your LoDo Dress! I really need to give that pattern another look. Kelly is local here in Denver, and we refer to the older downtown area as LoDo , for Lower Downtown. That may be what this pattern is named for? 🤔 Your work on all those Tee shirts is fantastic! One of my sons was gifted a Cricut a few years ago by his wife, and he does some wonderful things with it. One at a time haha.

Love to see Hercules.. he is sooooooooo cute

CUt the middle and take in a seam so you don't have to pick out the fringe.. Just an idea

Gorgeous dresses!! I agree with the folks who said to cut that blanket/towel down the middle and then remove some of that extra width that way. I absolutely love ice-died fabric and it looks amazing on people, but it’s just not me. Have fun with the girls!! 💞

you always look so nice in shift-style dresses. your lodo is simple and chic!

Elodie is French. It’s my daughters name so I spend a lot of time teaching people how to pronounce so A as in the A in Ate Low, Dee 😊 Love all your makes. Thanks for sharing.

I would love some Ice dyed fabric. Depending on the price if I can buy it. The green/blue shower curtain you made a couple years ago is my colors. I would need a couple yards. Would you be able to get it in cotton jersey? I need for t-shirts.

Yes please! If there was a nice fabric base for clothing in beautiful colors I would buy some.

Once you line the bodice of a dress, making sure the lining is breathable, you’ll be amazed at the improved quality of the garment. It’s also often faster than using bias tape to finish!

Those dresses are stunning!!! I love the idea of selling ice dyed fabrics! I was swooning over the one swatch you showed! I think its a great idea! Looking forward to seeing you today!!!!❤❤

All your makes look great, beautiful fabrics. If you want to start a business you should. There are several people on instagram that dye fabric and sell it, it is always sold out.😮😊 im sure it will be a big success whatever you decide to do.

Those african prints are gorgeous.

I love your ice dye swatches too! Would love to see a video about all of them. Sewing your own clothes and (ice) dyeing fabric is something I love to do as well. So always inspirational to see yours! And I really like your tropical scuba dress. Great fit!

Hi Michelle, love the cocoon dress, fabric and style - so flattering and looks easy to wear. The fabrics you bought are amazing, can't wait to see them made up. I also love the idea of buying ice dyed fabric ❤❤🎉

Dharma Trading has dye ready fabrics in different fibers cotton, rayon, linen, hemp, silk and bamboo.

Hi Michelle that tropical scuba dress is tdf. You look stunning in it and comfortable. Great vlog. Glad to see you back. Hello from NZ❤

Beautiful fabrics and garments. Both your dresses are very flattering on you. 😊. I love the t’s you made for the cousins, they looked great. I’m very impressed that you have 141 dyes! 😲. Please do show your swatch collection when you are done I love the ones that split into a number of colors. Good to see Hercules too.❤. Have a great time with Jen & Trish… wonderful video!

Hi Michelle! I love your ice dyed fabric and would purchase it. Check your state’s requirements; when I set up a shop years ago for my jewelry, all I had to do was set up a tax ID number and keep the associated record keeping. SC made it easy peasy. 😘
