I'm not sponsored to talk about any pattern or fabric - I choose everything myself and don't receive an income to run this channel.
That would make an awesome nightie, too!
The perfect dress for a warm Greek holiday! 40+ degrees calls for Camis :) Love your dress as always Cheryl - gorgeous fabric! A helpful suggestion re lengthening a Tee or Cami to a dress length.
Kathleen Meadows thank you Kathleen 😘💐
Hi Cheryl love the dress .I did try to do one with the cami pattern because I loved it so much.I cut the line to lenghten on the pattern and saw it didnt line up so just made another cami.Like magic there you were with instructions of how to make a dress ,great thank you so much.Have a great holiday,I live in Spain it is so hot here at the moment so this little dress would work for me to.This is the best pattern ever .x

love your odgen hack. Your vlogs are so inspiring. I've just released my first two vlogs myself. Once it's done, it feels good, took me ages to just press the button and released to the world.
I love that crepe - it's so beautiful and it really suits you, hope you had a wonderful holiday!

Lovely dress! Have a great trip!
Debbie Chittick thanks Debbie, I do like simple 😃🌸
What a great hack! I loved your top and love this dress. Yeah, for me I'd had to widen the straps somehow because certain bras just don't seem to work for me - LOL! Have a wonderful vacation!
NaturalDane thank you 😘😘 Totally know what you mean, I do prefer a proper bra most of the time. X
Lovely dress, have a great holiday 😘
Thank you Jacqueline 🌸😘

A very lovelydress it is. Have a nice holiday .

602redroses thank you so much 🌸
Don't you love it when you can get more than one item out of a pattern? I love the Ogden, both the cami and the dress and they look great on you but I can't wear strappy tops (too white and wrinkly!) so I steer clear. However after our lovely heatwave I felt the need of something sleeveless so I have just made 3 sleeveless shift tops from the GBSB book and it is a great pattern. You can wear a bra with it, which I find essential now, and change it up with trims, different necklines and I added white piping and a breast pocket to my last one. Next I intend to lengthen it to dress length so will use the method you did. I love your videos. You are so calm and low key and have good advice. Happy holiday.
Jenny Larking ahh thanks Jenny. It's great when you find patterns that work for you. I have a sewing bee book, have yet to try the patterns, but they look great. Thanks for watching and happy sewing. 😘💐
Thanks so much! This is exactly what I wanted to do with the pattern so you saved me a lot of time. Love how your dress turned out. Many many thanks
Melissa Hall thank you so much Melissa 🌷
Have a lovely holiday x
Tracey Meads thank you Tracey 🌸
Looking great, thank you for sharing!
hinke s thank you 💐
Lovely. Turned out well!
Helenasew thank you 😘
Lobe your dress.
Jacqueline Roos thank you 🌸
I love your videos!
I am definitely going to do this hack! It looks fab on you! Did you also lengthen the facings or just keep them as they are?
Amy Bates thanks Amy 👍🏻🌷 I kept the facings the same but it’s a great idea to lengthen, especially if your fabric is a bit sheer.
Thank you. I bought the Ogden pattern after watching your last video and made it yesterday - wore it today. I quite like it but the armhole gapes slightly - don't know how to change that (I can't go down a size). Love your dress hack, may have to try that too. I've also bought the Emerson shorts pattern from True Bias - have you tried that one? Just cut it out today but no time to sew yet. Have a lovely holiday in Greece. I live in Cyprus and its hot hot hot here. 🌞
Joanne Robinson thanks Joanne, ahh that's a shame about the armhole, maybe try a size down with a full bust adjustment? Haven't done one myself, but there are loads of good tutorials online 👍🏻
Not tried any other True Bias patterns yet, but good luck with yours. Ooh must be lovely in Cyprus, hope you can keep cool 😘
I know this is an old video but wanted to pick your knowledge, on the Cami can you widen the straps without compromising the top in general?
CraftyClaire75 Hi Claire, yes you could but you’d need to widen where the strap fits into the top 👍🏻
love Greece and love your dress. I got married in Greece 10 years ago tomorrow (28/06) so am very envious of your hols and your dress - have a great time - yamas x
Alison Green ahh, Happy Anniversary Alison 😘💐 It's my fave place in the world.
Love it 😊
Hi. Love the dress. This is a great hack!! Did you extend the pattern from the bottom of the Ogden pattern or did you work out where your waist is and cut the bottom of the Ogden pattern.?
Shelley thanks Shelley 🌸 I extended from the bottom hem 👍🏻
Thanks for a great video! Do you remember the width of the fabric that you used. I think my fabric might be too narrow to make the dress hack.
Would you please tell me what "crepe" fabric is? Here in the states it is not a common term for a fabric. Looking at how your lovely dress flows, I wondered if it is rayon, silk or lightweight polyester. Thank you for the inspiration to make a top into a dress.
spatch1000 hello, butting in here; a crepe can be made of all these options. It refers to the type of weave which leaves a (tiny) crinkly look to the surface of the fabric. Crepe fabrics, whatever they're made from have a lovely soft drape :)
Thank you.
spatch1000 thanks lovely, I'm not sure how it's categorised in the U.S, but it's polyester, so maybe that. 😘💙
I’d love to make this but not sure I’m good enough to extend it
Yes you are 😊😘
Hello are you not sewing enny more?
What have you got your camera on to get it at that height? X
Elizabeth Butters ha! It's on a tripod on top of my sewing machine table..have used a small table before too. 😃🌸
Lovely dress!! Have a great vacation!!
Aquilterknits thank you so much 😘
