I always start on the back with my bias binding. It is so much easier!!
Yes!
I like your version of the saltwater dress. The colors are amazing on you. It screams summer! Happy sewing.
Oh thank you!
I love that ruched top hack, it really suits you. And I'm with you on the "too complicated, can't do it" then trying and finding it was far easier than expected!
Yes! We need to just be brave don’t we!
You look amazing and such gorgeous fabric … plus spare for something equally beautiful. Definitely love this version on you. Well done for stepping out of your comfort zone.
Thank you so much!
I love the ruching!! I am not a fan of darts since my body has changed, I prefer gathers...It looks fabulous!
Oh my!! I love your channel!! You are hysterical!! When you were talking about all the challenges you faced--I'm like "YES< YES< YES-right there with you"!! ROTFL!!
It is gorgeous, and you look stunning in it!! I wish I had your height! :+)
The dress is cute with the tie around the waist, but it is equally cute without the tie. I like this version better than the original Saltwater.
Thank you!
That dress is the absolutely perfect match for the fabric
Thank you!!
Love your dress. It looks fantastic on you. I think I prefer the ruched Saltwater Slip dress.
Thank you! A few people have said that 😊
Never really been attracted to the Saltwater but I am now. Love the hack - and the fabric of course 😂😂. Great explanation and demo of the new pattern piece. And yes, your bias method makes sense cos I can never catch it all in the other way and it drives me mad. Happy Sewing😊. Just gonna watch Becs. 😊 Lynne
Thanks so much lovely 🥰
What a beautiful dress, you are beaming! Your love for animal prints is so great, love it!
Thank you so much!
Looks great - love the colours and the style - I'm so pleased you mentioned how easy bust dart manipulation is because people seem to be so scared of it but it is quite straightforward once you are shown the basics.
Yes! That’s probably the same for a lot of things. We just need to go for it don’t we!
Nice hack and what a fun fabric! Very pretty dress.
Thank you! 😊
Last year i was recovering from chemotherapy and brutal surgery for ovarian cancer. My son's wedding was coming up,i thought i want going to survive long enough for it. I planned on making the Saltwater, but stride treatment less to what age i felt like i had the shoulders of an American linebacker. I lost confidence and even up buying RTW. I remind myself of what is important but a part of me does wish I'd just had a little bit of confidence.
I am going to make the dress but i think i am going to do the hack which you did
So sorry to hear that. Yes go for it. We need to be brave don’t we!
Absolutely fabulous dress !!!! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Love the saltwater hack. Looks fab in that fabric xxx
Thank you lovely ladies x
Fabulous!! Never really. Thought about the saltwater but seeing those ties at the shoulder … 🤔
Looks wonderful on you
Ooh could definitely see you in this pattern!
Great stuff. Lovely to see how excited you are by it. 😊
Thank you! 😀
Dress looks amazing,well done Ruan. Now I know I can do that. Thanks
You can do it!
Me again! Yes, red and pink look stunning on you.
The print and color is gorgeous!
Thank you 🤩
Love the hack! Love the fabric! Love how it looks on you! I do the same with Bias binding as I always miss catching the back down! It’s a definite make for me when I get home! ❤
Thank you! 🤩
Beautiful make, stunning fabric! As your vlog popped up I was literally sewing up my fringe dress using the very same fabric! Love it❤💓❤
Oooh lovely!
Ruan, that is beautiful and suits you so much! I wasn't that keen on the pattern initially, but that hack elevates it to a new level. You do glow in those colours, and you brighten my day definitely!
Awwww that made me smile 😊
Love your ruched version! Thanks for all the info!
You are so welcome!
You inspired me with that fabric and now I have a new Donny shirt in it. Gorgeous dopamine dressing. X
Yay! I’m wondering if I could sneak a Donny out of my remnant piece!
@@theyorkshiresewgirlyes!! I'm a fan of Fri Pattern CO. Really like her attitude (and patterns!) Ruan I would just like to say how much I enjoy watching your vlogs ❤ I used to subscribe to sooo many diff channels and I overwhelmed myself and wasn't productive... Now I've limited myself to channels that are more suited to me and YOU are one of them! Partly because our body shapes are similar (that helps with sewing) and mainly because I love your banter, attitude and accent 😜 tee he hee Thank you so much for providing a happy place and inspo to Sew! I too am often overwhelmed at trying new techniques and am a visual learner. You are so relatable, thank u 👏
@@cherie_colours oh that’s just bloomin lovely. Thank you 🤩
Absolutely gorgeous just bought this pattern pdf to put together this afternoon love the original but also love your hack thank you so much for sharing 🌟💐
Have fun!
I love the saltwater dress I’m on my second one but would have loved to do the hack so I’m just going to make another one 😂yours is gorgeous love the ties tied at the shoulders
He he. You can never have too many 😉
I’ve made 6 saltwater slip dresses. I love the pattern, however, I haven’t done the hack yet but after seeing Rachel from stitched up with her version and now your version, I’m definitely going to do it. Thank you for sharing your info on it and yours is incredible on you x
Thank you - I think you have definitely beaten me now with your number of saltwater slips 🤣
I love it and I think I like it more than the original. I like the bows and I think that the cinch in is very flattering! ❤
Awww thank you!
❤❤❤Now I have to buy this pattern!
he he!
‘Im loving it, loving it, loving it, lovin it like that’s 🙌🏽 the pink and red 😍 I’ve even entered the comp 🙏🏽
I sang that as I read it 🤣
Love the dress you look beautiful ❤
Thank you. That’s very kind of you 🥰
I really like this hack and am even more tempted to try it after seeing yours. The ruched top gives the dress a bit more structure along with the empire line seam. I think it will suit my body shape better. Thanks for the thorough review!
You are so welcome!
It’s a lovely make, and the colour suits you well. Incidentally, I’ve also purchased the same fabric from Sew Essential last week. I really love the red & pink print!👍
It’s a gorgeous fabric isn’t it!
@@theyorkshiresewgirl yes it is!😁
Absolutely love it on you! I may well do the hack too. I haven't made one for myself - made one for my daughter but not me...I might make one now!!! Thanks for sharing x
Go for it! It’s your turn 🤪
Love it! It suits you very well.
Oh thank you!
I love it, u look gorgeous, i must try it, it looked complicated but u made it look less so x
You can do it!
Beautiful hack, you look amazing 👏👏
Thank you so much!!
Gorgeous Ruan. I’ve go this fabric too. ❤ I have been contemplating this hack but like you was like, mmm not sure I can do it. Might just have to try it now. 😊
Go for it!
Great job on the dress...
Thank you! 😊
Love it! You’ve convinced me to give the hack a go 🤗
You should! I can see you in it for sure!
Love your hack Ryan. It looks beautiful on you. I would love to be able to wear something like that but I'm afraid I'm of the age where I really need sleeves.
How about with a little t-shirt underneath? 😊
Love the dress!
Thank you!!
Fabulous dress; it's perfect for you and a very successful hack. No, I'm not yet converted to animal print, but I love it on other people. I do bias binding as you did. Doing it the other way around is too tricky. I may make a Saltwater slip, having thought it wouldn't suit me being an older lady, but I'd wear with with a t-shirt.
Yes absolutely. I’ve seen so many people wearing a tshirt underneath and it looks lovely 🥰
Love it Ruan! I had cut out my third saltwater slip today but will try out the hack. Hope it works out
Good luck!
Gorgeous 💖💖💖
❤️
Lovely dress! I was looking at this fabric at Rainbow fabrics when they had this in their drop, but didn't have the courage for it. Then I watched your fabric haul vlog, and managed to get 2 meters of it from Rainbow. It has now arrived and it is ready to be cut out. Thinking about a Donny shirt hack to make it a dress, but I haven't decided yet :)
Ooooooh 😍😍
Omg! I definitely prefer this version of the saltwater 😊 it’s absolutely stunning… wanna make one now! X
I can see you in this pattern! 😍
I just watched Becs and so popped over to yours straight away (curiosity killed the cat and all that😂) I just wanted to say I voted for the saltwater hacked dress (I wasn’t keen on the original version) and am thrilled with how it’s turned out, you look amazing. The rouching makes it look so slimming. Now that I’m converted I’m going to buy this and get cracking on one, I just need to figure out how to do the shoulder straps wide enough to cover bra straps without wrecking the look. Oh I love the shoulder bows btw, sooo cute and feminine (it takes the nighty look away😅).
We’re mid winter here in Australia and coming home after dropping the grandies off at school having had to clear the ice off the windscreen, making a hot cuppa to thaw out then proceeding to make a summer frock feels a bit strange. 🤪
Yay! So glad it’s convinced you to give it a try 🤩
Lovely! ❤
Thank you! 😊
I like the ruched bodice, it would make a cute top. I don't think 3 bows are too many but the dress also looks good without the waist tie if you're concerned that you resemble a French Rococo courtesan 😉
🤣🤣🤣
Gorgeous 💕❤️
Thank you lovely 🥰
Love it!
Thanks!!
The Saltwater is such a good pattern for hacking. It’s one of the reasons why I bought it. The original is pretty basic maybe that’s why people are ho-hum about it, but the hack versions are pretty awesome including this one. Love the color and matching earrings!
Absolutely. I can’t wait to try more hacks now!
Fantastic--it suits you so well! I hadn't been interested in the original dress but with that hack I am very tempted to go for it! Love, love, love the fabric!
Go for it!
I tracked one of the bus tape makers to Germany, for a good deal given i live in Europe. So excited. Paid for it...... And they are not allowed to sell electrical equipment to Switzerland. Fair enough but i have bought electrical equipment from Germany, but i know that there are probably different rules for different equipment. I was not paying chf250, which was the other possibility. Finally tracked one down for half that price again, in the UK. Happily waiting for it .i think it's brand new :0)
Oh that’s brilliant yay!
Love it. You did a fantastic sewing job and you look fabulous in it.
Thank you so much! 😊
Ruan another winner! Dress looks lovely!
I watch all you vlogs and the they really cheer me up on not so good days. Your adventures with the NSS are really hilarious and very informative. Rachel’s destash episode was so funny! 😂😂
I have a question, how, how, how do you keep your Babylock Acclaim Overlocker so clean -it’s always lint and dust free? It always looks so pristine! I have the same machine, no matter how hard I try I still have lint and threads and blade shavings sticking to the machine.
Any tips would be appreciated!
Thank you so much! It’s probably because you can’t see it up close 🤪. I do clean it every other garment just to keep on top of it. I hoover bits out and use a microfibre cloth x
That dress and fabric looks great on you Ruan! I actually like it better than the version with the bra sliders. Or..🤣...whichever version you make for you I love but if I ever attempt it would prefer not to have to fuss with the slides. Seem to be in the summer doldrums right now...have some extra time and need to get up off watching videos and sew. xx Karen
I know what you mean about the sliders 🤣
Love the dress on you Ruan, looks amazing - another hit & thank you for telling us how you did the hack. 😊
My pleasure!!
I like both versions, so yeah, great! Wish pink suited me, because I would have bought that fabric. Lucky you, because it really suits you.
Thank you. Yes I’m lucky that my fave colour combo suits me!
Very lovely hack. I hadn’t really been interested in the salt water but I love this version. Fabric is beautiful and so you.
Thank you! 😊
This is the first time I’ve heard of this hack, and I like it! Your dress is lovely, Ruan. I’ll have to try it; that’s saying a lot for me, as I’ve avoided regular slip dresses so far. You’ve finally sold me! 😘
Yay! So glad x
I honestly think from watching you and others I am slowly morphing into an animal print lover 😂😂😂
Absolutely love both yours and Becky’s dresses ❤❤❤
Yessssssss. My work here is done 🤪
Love the dress! You look lovely and that fabric just makes you glow.
Oh thank you!
Your dress is stunning,love the hacked version on you ❤ fabric is gorgeous
Thank you so much!
The dress is gorgeous and looks so good on you! I prefer the standard version for my own style. And this fabric!!! You are glowing
Thank you so much!
Love the saltwater slip hack dress and love the bright fabric too
Thank you x
Love that version so much better , you look lovely in it 👍
Thank you ☺️
I like the hack
☺️
That’s a beautiful hack & looks absolutely fabulous on you 😍🤩
Aww thanks lovely!
Dress is gorgeous Ruan, it really suits you, and I love the hack. Well done 😊
Glad you like it!
Looks fabulous and I think the hack is great. Really good that you tried something new - well done 👍
Thank you! 😊
Your slip dress is amazing! You look lovely in it!
Oh thank you!
❤I always like using patterns in different ways…more bang for your buck 😊
Yes absolutely!!
Hi, I love this version of the dress on you (also love the original). What really makes this dress is the gorgeous fabric - just perfect for you. 🌸
Thank you so much! The fabric is just so pretty 😍
Love this! Yes 👍 the girls looking good!
Aww thanks honey x
Love love love ❤️ 💗
Looks great on you Ruan! All the bows look so pretty and feminine. I will be making this for sure 🎉 Lisa x 🇦🇺
Yay! Thank you!
Your version is absolutely glorious Ruan, knocking it out the park again! And now I need to make another one, once I got round the video a few times it was all go go go!
Thanks lovely! It’s such a great pattern isn’t it xx
So cute, the fabric is amazing.
Thank you! 😊
This version of the dress looks amazing on you, perfect fabric choice. Prefer the hack to the original pattern. Thanks for sharing x
Thank you! 😊
I love this version. It looks great on you.
Thank you so much xx
I love it the perfect dress. Well done! Clever Hack I think above my skill level but you have done a great job.
I thought I couldn’t do it but was so much easier than I thought 👍🏼
The dress looks fantastic on you Ruan 😍
Aww thank you ☺️
You look fabulous! Love the fabric.
Thank you!
Ruan all your versions are beautiful. I like both. I agree with your method of adding the bias . I always have problems if I try the way they tell you and then it's a glaring mistake to me even if others don't see it. I love all your pink and red. You're encouraging me to use bright colors too.
Love to hear this! ❤️
Your hack is truly lovely and slimming. 🎉
Thank you ☺️
Absolutely love it Ruan ❤❤
Thank you ☺️
Thank you ☺️
I love your dress Ruan xx
Thank you x
Your dress hack looks lovely but so do your other versions. I like the ruching over the bust as it’s very flattering.i think the waist tie also looks very nice. 😊
Oh thank you! 🤩
Love the hack, definitely encouraged me to make one! I suit that shape more than the flat front version. Thankyou for trying it, it looks amazing ❤
You are so welcome!
Beautiful dress.. suits you so well.. enjoy..
Thank you so much 😊
The hack looks fab on you and your bust is perfect,it really suits you.I like both of the saltwater slip dresses.You explained the hack great but I think it would be nice to have a tutorial.
Thank you. There is a tutorial on the Friday Pattern Company UA-cam channel which I’ve linked in the description box 👍🏼
It’s definitely your colours and style … it’s a 10 from me
Thank you so much ☺️
Love hack so much better than regular dress!!!😅
Aww glad you like it 😊
Love this fabric and this version on you, perfect combination of style & colour😍
I need to try this hack. I’m wondering if I could make the ruched section slightly longer then have the ties at same level to pull it in at that point, do you think that would work?
Yes absolutely 👍🏼
Love the salt water slip hack, in fact I think I like it better than the original, it looks great on you Ruan x
Thanks so much! 😊
❤
❤️
Your dress looks great, I actually prefer the hacked version to the original one 😃💞
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely fabric great hack, I am drawn to your knitted sign behind you, did you make it ?
No I bought it years ago…just never got round to putting it up in my new sewing room 🙈
