I was hacking up a lung while doing the voice over and editing for this so please subscribe for my great sacrifice thank you 😂 Also I’ll be making a short coming up explaining the removable sleeves more clearly!
this dress is soooo cute but also hallelujah finally youtube led me to a plus sized sewist doing fairly normal sewing. I love watching people craft but as someone who isn't skinny it's so easy to get fatigued of watching stick thin people make either incredibly complex pieces or tying squares on their body and calling it clothing.
Just found you , love the dress, you have a new subscriber. I want to get my sewing machine out and just sew to my hearts content. Thank you , I will be binge watching your other videos.
So cute!!! Another easy way to make detachable sleeves that I like is hidden buttons / button holes on the armpit area of the sleeve and bodice 🌷
the cardinal peeking through the windows of the birdhouse was so cute omgggg. "hello?? any seeds for me???"
Thank you for the more in depth tutorial style 😭🙌🏻🫶🏼 You’ve come a long way you’re really coming into your own style of videos! Love it!
Bonus: My husband had his friend over and said “oh she has your style!”
I wonder why I was drawn to this video space? 🤔😂
(Goes without saying but obviously: love it! Perfectly summery👗)
Oh! And thrift hauls absolutely!
Omg thank you so much! I've really been experimenting with my video style (& will continue to do so lol) so thank you for noticing! & haha i really love this community where we all have a similar taste in style and fashion, it's so fun!
Detachable sleeve idea is awesome. What about sewing a channel across the shoulder cap of the sleeve with openings at the shoulder seam and thread the shoulder ties up through them. You could tie at the top/shoulder or tuck the ends in and hold with a safety pin or brooch. Under the arm you could put in a couple of snaps under the arm because it doesn't need to be fully closed, as long as it's tidy.
It turned out so nice!
All those videos ideas sound great to me! 🥰
omgg i loved seeing the birds! your backyard looks so cute :D thanks for the shirring tutorial...adding it to the list of things to try one day
I tried shirring yesterday and it was so much easier than I thought it was gonna be. Also, that dress is hecking cute!
Ahhh it turned out so well!!! The drape is stunning, the pattern is so freaking cute, and the sleeves were a stroke of brilliance. Bring back convertible clothing!!
YES as you probably know by this point i am obsessed with convertible clothing!! & thank you!
What a very sweet sundress, it looks awesome on your very nice work 👍you just need a sun hat to go with it.
Very cute dress💕 would love to see thrift hauls I like watching people thrift and make something beautiful out of the items they got🥰
I love thrift hauls too!!
Any and all sound vid ideas great to me ❤ I think it's important for UA-cam creators to focus on what brings them joy and passion, because it creates a more dedicated and genuine community, rather than trying to focus on metrics. I say this as a digital marketing manager and as a viewer ❤
Not that I was implying you were focusing on metrics! It's a tough balance, vying for growth and visibility while trying to maintain an actually active audience. Generally speaking, higher engagement leads to more quality subs, as opposed to getting a lot of subs because someone got lucky or hit the SEO stuff just right, but then engagement metrics decline because the audience was fleeting/trending rather than loyalists.... If that makes sense!
Yes totally get it! I'm glad you all seem to be on board because I've been wanting to try these types of videos for a while!
Such a pretty dress!
New subscriber, I Just found you today! Hurray plus size sewing. Loved the video can’t wait to look back over your previous videos!
❤❤ this thanks bunches for sharing. Just found your channel and subscribed straight away. Truly beautiful 😍
Ahhhhh!! I literally saw the thumbnail and clicked immediately! It's too freaking pretty!!!!😍😍
Also yes yes yes, I want to see more types of dresses with different ways of making them form fitting and comfy!
I haven't been able to stop thinking about experimenting with different "elastic" techniques, so definitely going to try them soon, & thank you!
I loved watching the birds.
I love this so much and need a dress like this imminently 😊❤ I hope you feel better now!!
YES it's so comfy definitely make one when you can lol, & thank you!!
Forgot about the Victorian detachable sleeves.... fabulous idea! Such a cute dress and your yard is lovely. TY
Cute dress 😊
I love this!
Totally loved the sleeves! 🧡😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
New subscriber here! Hi :D
I was just thinking I should find a video on how to do shirring when this randomly popped up in my suggested videos. Serendipity or the almighty algorithm, I know not. But I'm happy to have another sewist to watch 🤍
Omg welcome! You'll see plenty of shirring and other elastic ways of fitting fabric here, because i hate closures lol!!
@@maybebre I am closure-nonpartisan 😂 But I am binging your content and finding lots of great ideas for projects this spring and summer.
I love your style and whimsy 🤍
I love watching thrift hauls! I think, it would be cool to see try-ons and styling ideas for the things you thrifted. 😊
I love both styling videos and hauls.
I love the dress on you and the sleeves are so cute. I love the look of shirring and how easy it makes getting literally any piece of clothing on, but my sewing machine has this one weird issue I've been running across that has been making the entire process impossible. One of the metal pieces that feeds the elastic keeps flinging up and it causes each loop of the top thread to not properly go around and it incorrectly feeds the elastic... I think it's something to do with a hook on the metal but I've been dealing with this for months. Aaaa, the glorious struggles of sewing. Sorry, love the piece!!
Fascinating, thank you! I hope you'll feel better soon
Still feeling a bit sick but much better, thank you!!!
You have a beautiful face! Love all your projects 😊
❤❤❤
Another channel hack is to do a wide tuck and then top stitch it. I used ribbons instead of elastic and left a gap to loosen and tighten it. Can also do two channels on each piece and tie bows at the side.
ooooo definitely & i love the idea of ribbon, i might have to try that out in the future!
Love LoVE love! The dress. Who knew bed sheets could look so cute!
I have a question with the sheering- do you have to cut the pieces larger or is it fine if they fit you, the sheering is only there for ease of on and off, right? It’s not like gathering, where you need to cut extra, right?
Also, also, I would LOVE costume breakdown videos! I think it’s so cool how cosplayers recreate garments and I would love to do it one day. But, I don’t understand how they start and what the thought process is to execute?
Also, your home is SO lovely. (Hahah apparently “love” is my word of the day today)
Shirring requires there be enough material for you to get it on and off with it a zipper. In the video she's taking something bigger and not fitted to her at all and using it to create the fitted look. The dress conforms to her because of the elastic, you can see how much bigger it is and how it would look without the shirring at time stamp 10:30. You don't need that much extra, just enough to get it on and off but the general look with shirring is lots of gathers of the extra fabric.
Yeah, modern shirring is basically bunching up a non-form-fitting garment to the body by gathering it to fitted elastics. Historical folk shirring is a way to tightly tightly gather extra fabric in, for example, the sleeves and collar in places that need to be skin-tight, but will not have any ease.

I love costume breakdowns too, been wanting to do one for a while! & thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your shirring technique! I'm going to try it on my next project!❤ I have a question though, when your bobbin runs out, do you have to do anything special with the end left in the garment? Or do you just wind a new bobbin and backstitch & go, same as you would with standard thread?
I'm still confused on how the sleeves attach. Super cute dress!
I'm at 5:06 and popping on to say that one of my dresses uses elastic string on the straps/sleeves and sews buttons on the garment. Alao clear snappies maybe?
It’s cute!!! I hope you fully recover soon!!! I’m curious though…could you show how the detachable sleeves work?? I know you described it, but I didn’t catch if you showed it and my brain just can’t wrap my head around it…😅
Yes! I totally realized that my sick brain did not explain this well enough, so ill have a short coming out sometime soon to better explain it!!
Awww I was hoping that finding your dream sheets was going to transition into an ad for brooklinen lol
omg that would have been PERFECT, but no got mine from Target lol!
@@maybebre they missed out on a golden opportunity
Oh, wondering how many rows of shirring you did. I want to try shirring on my next project, similar dress as you made.
My favorite part of using sheets is that they are already hemmed. I just bought a set of sheets at the thrift store for $6.00. The selection was not good, most of the sheets were pilled and weird, I felt really lucky with these.
Definitely! Love thrifting my sheets not only for the price & being earth conscious, but so much stuff is already done for you!
It would take a extra hour but, how about leaving more fabric. On the elastic and hemming it for a small ruffle detail
Percale? Thread count? Please😊
Pleasssseeeee talk amd explain as you go along in whatever you decide to do....
so cute!! I dont have the skill to recreate this yet but I love it so much :)
thank you so much!!
