    After many years of thrift flipping, and even more years of watching Project Runway, I finally decided to face my fear of rolled hems and invisible zippers, and try to sew clothing from scratch. I bought some vintage dress patterns from the 1950’s, and with the help of my trusty sewing machine, the DIY moms of youtube, and way too much caffeine, I managed to sew a brand new summer dress from scratch. And it looks pretty darn good, as long as you stay more than six feet away.

    You picked SILK as your first sewing project from scratch? INCREDIBLE. I've been sewing for four years now (plus a few years in high school but that was eons ago), and I'm still intimidated by silk. Your dress turned out lovely! And if it makes you feel any better I just miscut some deadstock fabric that's sold out everywhere, so mistakes don't end with experience.. ;)

    You could probably sew around the eye holes with a zigzag stitch until they're properly bound (to look like fully embroidered edges, like you would with a button hole) with matching thread and that would keep it together, look intentional and get rid of the entire struggle with the eyelets. All the tiny bits of extra paper from the tissue would also likely come out in the wash if it's too tedious to get every last scrap.

      but since she's doing it by machine, it's relevant to suggest she could try a zigzag stitch, because that's what people use when they don't have a special buttonhole function on their machine, since she probably doesn't want to do it by hand.
      She could reinforce the fabric with tissue the same way, and not worry about it staying in the finished garment after a wash.

And, I'm astounded that you have had such success on your very first make-from-scratch pattern - you look utterly gorgeous in it. I think the bigger eyelets add a bit of a punk edge to it which contrasts perfectly with the feminine fabric. Yes please, more videos of you sewing please Ashley.

    I think all of us need to take a moment to appreciate the FUCKING HARD WORK this girl puts in all of her videos. I mean, I know she's upset because she hasn't posted in a month but honestly, quality over quantity? And for Ashley to take all the shots in all these different angles, the editing, the music selection, even the titles which are bombass just show how much effort she puts in. And she did that while she's all by herself in the global center of a fucking pandemic while also managing projects on the side!All I want to say is, you're doing your best Ashley and we love you for this. Please take care of yourself and ffs, start eating something if you're going to pull in so much work in a few days!
