If you love all those ruffles. You should get a ruffle foot. That way you don't have to pull thread. Also just a reminder those are sheets.They will show any protein stains. I would leave it as is.
I have a ruffle foot but I dont love the way the ruffles turn out when I use it, mostly because I usually try to pack way more fabric than is recommended into the allotted gathering space 😅 I am the master of my own demise
Hey. The dress turned out lovely! I'm not sure it's easily available in your area, but if you can get it - fabric dye for use directly in the washing machine is great at giving nice, uniform colour. I use it all the time and the results are always very good.
Thanks!! I have used fabric dye in my washing machine before and had somewhat mixed results, however with this dress being 100% cotton I think thats a really good idea and I just might give it a try!
If you do not already have one, I highly reccomend getting a clothing steamer. They are now reasonably priced and in my opinion, invaluable! For pieces that have gathers, pockets, hard to iron places, a steamer is brilliant. The dress is so very lovely.
I absolutely yelled when I saw your podcast reccs! Morbid is my favorite, and I love the dress! I think the color wheel may be against you as far as getting a true pink without bleaching it, but it would be a fun experiment!
I love meeting fellow true crime fans!! Morbid is a great podcast!! Lol I feel the same as far as the color wheel goes, its one of my big hesitations for actually dying it 😅 I might just see if I can thrift some pink fabric instead
I love this!!! I moved to Miami and can't wear anything more than this dress lmao so I'm making a lot of these! 😂 Also try "and that's why we drink" with em and Christine! They're hilarious and similar to your style of humor ❤
I guess I wouldn't mind if it were purple, but I agree, I dont think I could actually get it very pink 😅 lol now that its done I am feeling very lazy and might just leave it blue
Sorry you didn’t get chicken nuggets! But the dress came out so cute! And dying pink would also be so nice! Or find new bedsheets hahaha. I’m definitely a huge dang of using bedsheets for dresses so I approve of this hahaha
Roll the dress on a broom stick to line up the wrinkles in a pattern so that you don't have to iron it. Aka " broomstick skirt" I roll all my full width, full-length skirts without a broomstick and tie the result in a knot.
I love the dress you made! I've got a lot of Burda paterns and they are all very good. Here in the Netherlands they have a magazine each month with a lot of paterns in it.
The dress is beautiful! 😍 I worry about the idea of dyeing it now it's made - personally I'd have dyed the fabric first and then sewed it up - but maybe I'm just a chicken 🐔 and I hope I'm proved wrong and it works out well 🤞
Ok but that’s exactly how I feel about it!! I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m just going to leave this dress blue and if I really really want a pink one then I just need to MAKE another dress 😂😂🤦🏻♀️👍🏼
I'm very excited to see you dye this! Every time I've tried to dye something, it always comes out more tie dye looking than just one color so watching people do it well is fascinating to me. Also, I don't use store bought patterns often but I just bought one to make my kid an eevee onesie and after hearing how you struggled with a pattern, I'm nervous! haha
I would say most patterns are pretty easy to follow, its just a few that I have found that I struggled with 😂 good luck on the eevvee onesie!!! eevvee is one of my favorite Pokemon!!
Where I live ( South Eastern, Massachusetts) I feel like we didn't really even get much of a winter. And Friday is going to be 87 😓 I don't like the heat... It's barely Spring..
oh dang, thats hot! I live in northern Utah and it was a constant blizzard for 6 months and now that its warming up, everyone is expecting it to flood really bad this year, so I have to move all my stuff up from my basement as a precaution 😅
@@AlexandriaLayne I've only experienced flooding once. It was from a Nor'Easter while I was living one street over from the harbor and the storm came in at high tide so the tide came in and the street behind me was flooded. Ironically it's named Water Street. I said "Well, its living up to it's name."
Your videos are literally amazing and everything is on my to sew list 😭💕💕💕 I'm only a beginner too only I recently made trousers out of this gorgeous coloured poly mix fabric that frays so zo much but I guess it's practice. Even though it's the completely wrong fabric to use as ironing doesn't get creases out and it's like permanent But I really want to use up the rest of the fabric I had 3 yards when I started and according to the pattern it uses 1 and half yards to 2 yards of fabric. I was wondering if you have any ideas on what I could do with the rest. I wish I could link photos of the fabric ahahaha the colours so beautiful on each side. H
thats awesome you sewed a pair of trousers!! yam poly mix fabric can be pretty tricky to work with for sure! you could always try making a matching top? or a cool tote bag? lol I struggle with coming up with ideas sometimes because I feel like I dont want to *waste* my cool fabrics on something silly 😅😅😅
Do you know I've been sewing over 35 years and I NEVER thought to cut out the dart on the pattern piece 😑. How did I never think to do that. Do you know the struggle of marking a dart through paper?? Well. Thank you for that. Lol
I’m just getting into sewing here and I hope this question doesn’t sound stupid, but I’m wondering how two long rectangles that are gathered have the ability to twirl like a circle skirt? How do I get that effect because I love it!
In my experience, the rectangles need to be at LEAST as long as 3 times your waist circumference. Good luck with your sewing!!! It’s a really fun hobby! Albeit quite frustrating at times 😂
Oh, boy. I have never gotten ill listening to someone talking about trouble with a pattern. Oh me. I just got extremely ill. The Simplicity pattern you had trouble with.....Oh, me. Alas. I started sewing my own clothes 60 years ago. Due to life, I quit sewing 30 years ago. Recently I've decided to go back to something that was always enjoyable to me. I went to find a possible pattern. They only had 1 that should cover my very complicated body issues. It is the exact pattern you hate. Oh no. I have already bought expensive fabric to use this pattern with. Even with the 60 % off sale it was $40.00. Oh, please. I truly hope I actually know what I am doing. Do I actually know how to sew?!?!?! If you pray, please pray for me. BTY..Do you happen to have a sister living in California. She reminds me of you. Yall sorta look a lot alike. She is a very twirley gal, too. I watch her videos.
The measurements do lie! I'm also super cautious when I do tissue patterns like that, because when you're starting out you never have any idea of how it will actually fit.

I will eternally advocate for gathered chunks
I feel this, and I support you 😂👍🏽
Cool, when it was in your house it looked green but outside in the sun it looked blue

It looks so warm and sunny, the perfect dress for such an occasion . You suit the colour blue.
It was sooooo warm and sunny! lol almost too sunny to be out taking pictures, but we made it work!
You should try Crime Chat with Nat and KAT - love them
oh thank you!!! I am in desperate need of a new podcast!!
Just recently found your channel - you have THE BEST reveals! This turned out very cute 😊
To quote Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty: Blue!
Seriously, it looks great & shout out from fellow 'Morbid' lover.
I also recommend 'Criminal'.
Thanks for the recommendation!!! Ill definitely check it out! lol, after reading these comments I am thinking ill just leave it blue too 😂😂👍🏽
Literally obsessed
Im so glad you like it!!!!!💕💕

I might make something like this

Also try "and that's why we drink" with em and Christine! They're hilarious and similar to your style of humor ❤
thanks for the recommendation!! I will definitely give it a listen! lol if you make one of these dresses I want to see a picture!!!
Veery cute.❤
My sewing clothes of choice are leggings and a comfy Tshirt/sweatshirt
Leave it blue. It looks pretty, plus if you add pink to that it'll end up purple instead.
I guess I wouldn't mind if it were purple, but I agree, I dont think I could actually get it very pink 😅 lol now that its done I am feeling very lazy and might just leave it blue
I am in love with your energy and this dress is super cute!!
dude thank you for saying so! 💕
Sorry you didn’t get chicken nuggets! But the dress came out so cute! And dying pink would also be so nice! Or find new bedsheets hahaha.
I’m definitely a huge dang of using bedsheets for dresses so I approve of this hahaha
Huge dang? I meant huge fan 😂
lol we are super similar 😂👍🏽💕 i am all for using cheep and thrift fabric!!

@@AlexandriaLayne Thanks 😊 We are very proud of her pokemon preferences haha
I have thought about dyeing clothes but watching a few videos on how to do it, put me right off the idea. More trouble than I want to go to.

Oooh you should try avocado skin to dye it.
so funny you say that because I JUST saw a tiktok where the creator used avocado skins as dye an it was really cool!
@@AlexandriaLayne I bet we saw the same tiktok!
@@amandapichon4023 we probably did!!!
