I learned hand stitching at 4, I learned sewing at 8, I've been sewing most every week since 2011, I am a manager in a sewing and textile store. I was expecting to cringe, but really, i'm actually proud. Well done Lady like, well done
I am a fairly accomplished sewer (I've competed with my own pieces and placed very well nationally). I expected to be disappointed by this video, but am so impressed how seriously they took it.
Emma Vlogs use those star looking things if you use one of the them *the letters will be bolded* if you use two of them **the words will be bolded and have the stars things** hope it helps.
Ouch. When third wave feminists go too long without male interaction: THIS. "You have lived in LA too long when you for real crush on for real gay boys." Not you Caroline, mostly Niki Rose going full on 8th grade make up for their second meeting was adorable. Come visit SF ANYtime girls, you will have a BLAST. Don't forget your Wet n Wild. QUICK FIX: hire some handymen, you are courting a discrimination lawsuit with the wall to wall ovary work environment anyway. And that poor girl. Smh go to the local union hall, pronto, please.
Hardest part about sewing your own clothes is accepting that it's not actually cheaper like some people think it will be. Random sewing tip: Watch the edge of your fabric and where the seam should be when feeding fabric through, not the needle as it goes up and down.
I know right? People will say "you must save so much money" and I just mentally add up the cost of fabric, lining, interfacing, zipper(s), thread, and pattern and laugh and laugh and laugh.
god I know. but it's satisfying because you can fit it perfectly and I really struggle with my proportions :( thought sometimes it does cost me cheaper than buying ready-made, most knits are by far cheaper than buying in store. really depends I guess. but the last coat i sew cost so much with the interfacing and lining and all TT-TT lol and calculating the cost of my overlock and sewing machine... do you own a dress form? i'm trying to save for a dress form next
Chantel's and Your dresses are my style of clothing. Though I would like Chantel's as a blue shirt, and your dress a little longer in the skirt since I like longer skirts. 💙🖤
As a cosplayer, I was forced to learn how to sew since I knew my mom would not always be around to help. Nowadays I'm a fairly proficient sewer. I managed to create an entire tail coat for my Claude Faustus cosplay.
I started to sew at 13, and I know that’s kind of not really a long time because I’m only 18 but I just love to sew, my first thing I ever sewed is a purse made out of old jeans and I made it with the most basic straight stitch ever and I learned to do it by myself. After a few years, now I know how to do embroidery and crotchet. I will never stop sewing!!!
I started in the 2nd grade making Nintendo plushies, I found a pattern right here on youtube, Now I knit, embroider, quilt and make some of my own clothes
IT IS ESPECIALY GOOD FOR CUTTING OUT FURRY ITEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, I MADE MY BROTHER A SASQUATCH SUIT. THE FUR WAS TWO INCHES LONG. MY BROTHER IS 6'10. ALL THE PIECES WERE CUT WITHIN AN HOUR. THAT IS A LOT OF DIFFICULT FABRIC TO CUT WITH SCISSORS. THIS MADE IT EASY
Actually, with fur you'll usually want to cut with a razor blade, using it just to cut the backing of the fur and not the hair itself. It'll give better-looking results and less fur fallout. However, rotary cutters are amazing for just about every other textile!
This should be a recurring feature in this series--the girls could sew evening wear, swimwear, Halloween costumes, etc, create their own patterns, use their own clothes as patterns. And, if the budget gets too small to hire another real fashion designer, talk to me! You could also do knitting, crocheting, weaving. I've been sewing and knitting since I was 7, so this is a real treat to see other girls trying this and succeeding.
I've been sewing for years and I'm pretty advanced, I make and design my own clothes (I'm only 16). I'm very surprised that they picked dresses, depending on the style it can be a very difficult project especially when the dress has sleeves and you have never worked on a sewing machine before and don't understand the basics.
someone you might know no I was simply saying that It was a bold move I'm not bashing on them, they did a good job. A vest... really..... what's your style inspiration? Shrek
YO BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS where did Ashton get that hoodie? I need that in my life. Oh my gosh they turned out so well! I can't pick which one I liked the most honestly. Loved the pockets on Freddie's, Chantel's dress fit her body shape perfectly, and FREAKING SAFIYA WITH THE HOOD. Yes. I remember staying up late (and sometimes throughout the night) to help my sister cut pieces of fabric when she was in college. Let me tell you, this kind of stuff is NO joke. You need so much patience. I've broken 2 needles before and nearly stuck a needle through my finger before. Dangerous but it's still awesome to see the final product.
I'm currently a fashion major and I cannot tell you how many times everyone says my major is easy. 👀 "Oh, it's just a t-shirt! I can sew that!" Most of the people who say that don't even know how to thread a hand sewing needle. 😂 Thank you, Buzzfeed, for showing everyone the not so "glamorous" side of fashion. 💕
I feel you. I'm planning on becoming a fashion design major as soon as I graduate. People assume that designers drink champagne with the stars and attend runway shows all day when, in reality, you're going to lose at least six hours of sleep just to complete a garment and some designers don't even get credit their designs/talent. Sorry, this turned into a mini monologue. Btw, what design school are you attending and what advice do you have for picking schools? Is it better to go to FIT or a state school?
Amber Winstead I go to high school of fashion industries and luckily I live in NYC and FIT is right down the corner of my school and it's probably the most affordable option compared to Parson's and Pratt. It depends on your finances cause New York is extremely expensive to live in. Take all that into consideration before you get stuck paying tons of loans and paying thousands of dollars for a studio apartment while paying for school & probably working. Hope this helps
I'm a student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virgina! We're the #1 public arts school in the country! I really like it here because it's a nice transition from quaint hometown to city life. I was worried about a big shock by going from a small town to a big city like NYC so this was a nice middle ground for me. Also, Richmond offers fall and spring fashion weeks! You can submit your designs to be featured! And VCU offer a bunch of housing options so you won't have to worry about searching for an overpriced apartment.
I took some fashion classes in High School because I thought it was going to be an easy A. OMG I was wrong. It took me months to work that sewing needle and I can't tell you how many fabrics I messed up lol. I did end up learning and getting an A but I had to work for it. It's definitely not easy!
as someone who has been sewing for a while. i still make the worst mistakes. like how when i was making a body suit i decided that the back should be a little lower. but when i was cutting i cut through the front to and ended up with the worst and biggest v neck. i can't even wear it and it was gonna be so nice.
you could put a quite opaque lace piece in there to fix it? or maybe put eyelets in and lace it up with some nice ribbon front and back for a corset style
Lol it's okay, guys. I broke every machine in home ec when I was in middle school, and now as an adult, I've sewn dozens of elaborate costumes. Practice makes perfect :)
Fiery Wind Waker I got banned from home ec and one teacher there even said I should do the males of my area a favour and not ever marry. I married young knitted and sewed for all my family and home decor. I even sewed every costume for a full musical put on by my church
"I don't know how to sew. Don't know how to thread a needle." Makes perfect dress. I've figured a lot of people who underestimate themselves end up doing really good lolz 😋
I love the laugh after Freddie said she sewed the front and back of her dress together, because it is totally the laugh of someone who is like, "welcome to sewing! Learned that one the hard way too!"
I started working at a fabric store without knowing ANYTHING about sewing. Now I know about the parts of the machines, the different types of threads and needles, I know about zippers, buttons, fabrics and all of that, but I still not knowing how to sew.
I started learning how to sew at 18 and this video pretty much summed up all the mistakes I've made over the years. Now, at 28, I've just finished a woolen winter coat completely from scratch, including drafting my own pattern! It took me ten years and a lot of practice and patience and investing in good equipment (a sewing machine that tells you when the foot isn't down XD), but I'm pretty sure I can make almost anything now!
Lucy Muscroft Yikes! That sounds awful! I've always sewn in the comforts of my own home, so I've never had to deal with something like that. I hope the culprit(s) got punished! What were you sewing?
i had to make clothes at school when i was younger but i cant really remember anything anymore expect that i was pretty bad at making clothes lol. i wish i could..
I usually find high-fashion designers to be the kind with a stick up their butt, but Ashton is quite the opposite. It was nice to see how relaxed and adaptable he was, allowing Ladylike to choose everything and only giving advice if one of them hesitated--and playfully poking fun at their fashion (without the "Oh, _honey_ , no" condescension). He reminds me a lot of my costume design (and costume make-up) teacher, who was also quite laidback. Plus, it was fun to see each woman's style show through--as well as their evolution from "novice" to "not-so-novice". (I remember making so many of the same mistakes: not threading the bobbin, and having my sleeve fall apart; cutting the pattern on the wrong line--and once accidentally cutting a pin in half; forgetting to set the foot; matting the thread and the fabric; etc.) For newbies, they all did really well.
Aha I have a cousin who's currently making my other cousin a dress but I'm kinda the forgotten cousin that feels rude to ask for a dress but let's hope he's remembered about me!!😂
Just want to take a moment of appreciation for this video. 😂 The people who helped the girls were so nice an patient. The girls were rockstars. Sewing is hard. But they came in every day and kept at it. The dresses were stunning and dang those girls slayed walking down that runway. They are all so gorgeous and have beautiful personalities.
chloe blue yes she did. She decided on what style she wanted her dress to be, and derived it from a pre-made style. She made it her own by doing things like adjusting length, removing the collar etc. She styled it herself.
I think Chantel had the best looking dress! I'm proud of her learning so much when she didn't know anything!! Super inspiring but great dresses ladies!
It feels so weird watching Saf not on her own channel! I love how even at buzzfeed she talked about Tyler and she is so true to herself. With her black clothes and wanting a hood!
And to think....this is mostly how every wildly successful fashion designer started out. Imagine trying to learn how to use a sewing machine without the internet/an actual fashion designer to help
As a design major I had a sick satisfaction watching y'all struggle. But I also can not stress enough the lack of ironing in this video. It's giving me heart palpitations. So many unpressed seams.
I started sewing at ten and was ten when I got my sewing machine The first thing I sewed was a pair of leggings and then I wore them and they fell apart
Lauren Granger i learned how to hand sew when I was about ten too.But just got my sewing machine last year for my 17th birthday. Before i got a sewing machine all of my cosplays and costumes were hand sewn.so much of my time in the past 7 years has been spent sewing threw the night to finish stuff.
The first thing I made was a pillow, with a needle and thread. Then I took a sewing class and made a pair of pajama pants and a tote bag with a sewing machine. DISCLAIMER: The pants didn't fit properly XD
Lauren Granger I first started sweing by hand with a sewing kit and then for Christmas I got a macine and made a pillow and a shirt for one of my stuff animals ps:the shirt was wa to big ad there was something weird going on at the back
I have a cousin who's studying fashion design. She's been making clothing since 2013, and only now she's starting to get really "good" at it. Sewing is hard, guys!
Juni Cortez It depends on the design of the dress, the shape, how fitted, how detailed it is, if and how supportive it needs to be, what fabric you use and the shape of the person it's being made for.
hey, it's thanks to this video that i'm super passionate about fashion now. when i watched this for the first time a few years ago, i was mesmerized and super inspired, and i got my grandma to teach me hand sewing. i finally got my hands on a sewing machine two years ago and i've been machine sewing ever since. thank you, ladylike. i can officially say that at age 15 i'm a better seamstress than three grown women. no hate because you all did great. but thank you.
my first actual sewing project was an elizebeathin dress with: a bum role, a under skirt, a over skirt, a inner peace with long sleeves, and a corset. it was for a theater project and I got an A+ on it because I was extra. I love sewing. it really has helped me in the long run and making costumes.
CoffeeDragon 520 wow you must've been really confident with that! The most I did when I first started "sewing" was just a purse...it wasn't even a good purse lol I don't know what I did with it. I made SO. MANY. PURSES. Like I was amazed that I could sew I thought I was so cool. The first piece of clothing I made when I actually knew what I was doing was a half circle skirt with button closures...looking back at it, it's horrible, but I was super proud of it at the time so let's look past the horrible side to it Ps: I say "sewing" because I was 9 and had no idea what I was doing. I currently picked sewing back up and decided to forget about what I did when I was 9 and would like to think that this year was my first time sewing...lmao
it's definitely a hard skill to learn and perfect. I sew and I personally prefer pdf patterns over paper patterns. If you have a Facebook, try joining the George & Ginger pattern group. There are tons of free patterns offered and they are VERY easy and beginner friendly. The Patterns For Pirates group also offers free pattern codes for their shop on etsy for stretchy pants and a pencil skirt that I've seen complete beginners do in under 2 hours.
Karlie Ifthisis truthfully, they probably got a lot more help than the video gives credit for. I've been sewing my entire life. I work in a costume shop, so I meet all levels of costume builders. Truthfully, I have met only ONE whose work looked like a factory did it. She's been sewing for 20 years, patterning and cutting for 15 of those 20, working in the industry for the past 10, and is still taking courses to get better. It's not an easy art, no matter how many people try to tell you so. Don't feel bad if your garments aren't perfect! They will be with time, practice, and love!! (Also, my optimist look on my poorly made garments: they're an excuse to get better at alterations haha)
Like Making Things Completely From Scratch ? like making Make-up from Crushed Stones (Hematite or Malachite) , Mining the Stones , Making Pickaxes from Steel , Forging the Steel and so on
I started sewing when I was 10 or 11 and the day after I got my sewing machine and a crap ton of material, I made a circle skirt! It was wearable, but the stitching was really, really, messy.
The designer was so kind and patient w them
Marie Zac sameeeee
Is that the side profile of V I see?
Fatima Castro did you actually read the comment?
Marie Zac army!
Fatima Castro What? Did you read the comment? Lol 😂
The designer was so nice and humble and he had a lot of patience with them :) he's awesome
danny G YES he was so great 😢
his bowtie tattoo was cool
danny G and he is soooo into the marsha-one. 😂💘
+Heli Garp He totally is. XD
danny G I know he seemed like such a sweetheart
I learned hand stitching at 4, I learned sewing at 8, I've been sewing most every week since 2011, I am a manager in a sewing and textile store.
I was expecting to cringe, but really, i'm actually proud.
Well done Lady like, well done
btw, making your own patterns is way easier than expected
I learned hand sewing at maybe 6, but I never learned how to use a sewing machine.
I know nothing about sewing, but they ruled!
Those pockets though...
I am a fairly accomplished sewer (I've competed with my own pieces and placed very well nationally). I expected to be disappointed by this video, but am so impressed how seriously they took it.
BKaitsuki
Chantel: “I have a problem.”
Ashton: “me too, what’s yours?”
Me: “laughs my butt off lol.”
Ladylike is literally the only thing keeping buzzfeed alive
truuu
Alsø Alex yes
Try guys
The Try Guys and Ladylike are keeping BuzzFeed alive because of Eugene and Jen XD
Alsø Alex and wine mom
I'm the type that wants my jacket to have a hood, but never wears the hood.
Omg same!
I only wear the hood if i'm attempting at hiding from someone
Maggie Jiang same XD
Maggie Jiang same tho
Maggie Jiang same
Chantel needs to make more of those exact same dresses, in all sizes, and sell them. I want one.
Taylor they're not that hard to find they sell similar ones on fashion nova and forever 21
Taylor Be inspired by this video and make one!
Taylor xc zzcc

"I do plan on wearing this dress. Grocery store, home, work... the cat gonna see it" Freddie I love you
Ashton was awesome! Totally fell in love with his personality, he was such a sweetheart
Niki Rose I just fell in love with him full stop 😂😂😂
Niki Rose ikr his personality was so cute and happy
Niki Rose me too
he has one of those instantly likable personalities
Niki Rose yes!
chantel said she didn't know anything about sewing yet her piece came out the best😂💁🏽
Izzy & Jazzy TV ikr?! 😂💙
She came in knowing nothing which is sometimes better. She was able to learn tips and tricks that weren't already taught to her a different way.
Izzy & Jazzy TV ikr!! i thought that chantels dress was probably the most difficult in my inexperienced opinion
Izzy & Jazzy TV it totally did! I love the shoulder cut outs! 😍😊
Helen Hill 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
*“I often tell my boyfriend.”*
We’ve come so far.
😭
so, so far.

Queen Savage yes I so did
True
Queen Savage that's not a queen of darkness outfit
JEDI queen of darkness 😉
Freddie is so cute and pretty!!!!!
she also reminds me a lot of leigh Anne from little mix.
Mark Jenkin she has braids right now and i keep thinking that too!! they are both queens
Safiya Nygaard OMG SAFIYA ILYSM URS WAS THE BEST
I am le crybaby THEY CALL ME CRYBABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am le crybaby I really liked the brown one
If a friend ever asks me for fashion advice I'm just gonna say "if the fashion gods are pulling you that direction then you should just do it."
Hardest part about sewing your own clothes is accepting that it's not actually cheaper like some people think it will be.
Random sewing tip: Watch the edge of your fabric and where the seam should be when feeding fabric through, not the needle as it goes up and down.
Pooh Bear a www. a a 21stê
It breaks my heart how expensive fabric is...
I know right? People will say "you must save so much money" and I just mentally add up the cost of fabric, lining, interfacing, zipper(s), thread, and pattern and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I guess it's cheaper than buying designer wear that is custom tailored. But no stores have cheaper garments
god I know.
but it's satisfying because you can fit it perfectly and I really struggle with my proportions :(
thought sometimes it does cost me cheaper than buying ready-made, most knits are by far cheaper than buying in store.
really depends I guess.
but the last coat i sew cost so much with the interfacing and lining and all TT-TT
lol and calculating the cost of my overlock and sewing machine...
do you own a dress form?
i'm trying to save for a dress form next
Safs dress is awesome! I want it bad.
Moka Akashiya Thanks babe! I kind of want to make another so I can fix my mistakes :) 🖤
Safiya Nygaard you have a channel ?!
Dee Night obviously you just replied to her channel .... duhgh
Chantel's and Your dresses are my style of clothing. Though I would like Chantel's as a blue shirt, and your dress a little longer in the skirt since I like longer skirts. 💙🖤

Crocheting is my drug, sewing and crocheting is just like so relaxing to me
Hi ARMY
I started when I was 11
GET A ROTARY CUTTER. IT MAKES CUTTING FABRIC SO MUCH FASTER AND EASIER. THINK PIZZA CUTTER, BUT FOR FABRIC
SNOWBOARDINGFISHER This is such solid advice
IT IS ESPECIALY GOOD FOR CUTTING OUT FURRY ITEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, I MADE MY BROTHER A SASQUATCH SUIT. THE FUR WAS TWO INCHES LONG. MY BROTHER IS 6'10. ALL THE PIECES WERE CUT WITHIN AN HOUR. THAT IS A LOT OF DIFFICULT FABRIC TO CUT WITH SCISSORS. THIS MADE IT EASY
SNOWBOARDINGFISHER YES! I would die without my rotary cutter!
Actually, with fur you'll usually want to cut with a razor blade, using it just to cut the backing of the fur and not the hair itself. It'll give better-looking results and less fur fallout.
However, rotary cutters are amazing for just about every other textile!
Miranda Beatrix I TRIM THE FUR AROUND THE SEAMS SO THERE IS GOING TO BE FUR EVERYWHERE ANYWAYS.
honestly imo, the hardest part of making your own clothes is the prep (measuring cutting patterns etc) not the actual sewing machine
Jennie true that!!!
This should be a recurring feature in this series--the girls could sew evening wear, swimwear, Halloween costumes, etc, create their own patterns, use their own clothes as patterns. And, if the budget gets too small to hire another real fashion designer, talk to me! You could also do knitting, crocheting, weaving.

Safiya's dress was frickin awesome and can I have one please?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Omg yeeeees!
A Frankenstein dress?
Yes! Oh gosh! Yes!
We love the hoodie not surprise she chose black😂
I've been sewing for years and I'm pretty advanced, I make and design my own clothes (I'm only 16). I'm very surprised that they picked dresses, depending on the style it can be a very difficult project especially when the dress has sleeves and you have never worked on a sewing machine before and don't understand the basics.
I know sleeves are the worst, so much pinning and tacking and repinning and then sewing. But sleeves are better than button holes.
I'm quite young (under 14 not saying my age on the Internet) and at the age of ten I had my own sewing machine and could easily sew and stuff
I started sewing recently and I was surprised they picked dresses too. A-line skirts are much easier.
جرايس هال what would you want them to do? :') pants? vests?
someone you might know
no I was simply saying that It was a bold move I'm not bashing on them, they did a good job. A vest... really..... what's your style inspiration? Shrek
im really loving Chantel's dress
and Safiyas, Freddie's is also okay
Sukhmani Sidhu ME TOO
Sukhmani Sidhu I have the same dress 😂😂😂 but for kids cause I'm tiny
YO BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS where did Ashton get that hoodie? I need that in my life.
Oh my gosh they turned out so well! I can't pick which one I liked the most honestly. Loved the pockets on Freddie's, Chantel's dress fit her body shape perfectly, and FREAKING SAFIYA WITH THE HOOD. Yes.

Lol he probably made it
A'chynee Edmundson Lol so true
Why do all of their dresses look better than everything in my closet?😂
Cause they chose them themselves
i was going to say a sewing pun but i have no good material :/
jchristine242 omg that was awsome

you could put a quite opaque lace piece in there to fix it? or maybe put eyelets in and lace it up with some nice ribbon front and back for a corset style
Redbell L girl once I was making overalls and accidently sewed part of the pocket to the bottom of the pant leg...lol
Lol it's okay, guys. I broke every machine in home ec when I was in middle school, and now as an adult, I've sewn dozens of elaborate costumes. Practice makes perfect :)

Practice and patience.

I love safs creativity like when she freaking wore 9 ft jeans that are hundreds of dollars

We need more humble people like Ashton in this world.

Hannah Paige at my school this girl had a speech about letting a Jedi academy (it was a joke speech) she was so funny and she won our speech comp
I love the laugh after Freddie said she sewed the front and back of her dress together, because it is totally the laugh of someone who is like, "welcome to sewing! Learned that one the hard way too!"
Chantel looks amazing in that dress

"own your mistakes and just sell it to everybody, they won't even know." That is so true.
I started working at a fabric store without knowing ANYTHING about sewing.
Now I know about the parts of the machines, the different types of threads and needles, I know about zippers, buttons, fabrics and all of that, but I still not knowing how to sew.
😂

Me: NOOOOOOO YOU’RE WASTING SO MUCH FABRIC
I started learning how to sew at 18 and this video pretty much summed up all the mistakes I've made over the years. Now, at 28, I've just finished a woolen winter coat completely from scratch, including drafting my own pattern! It took me ten years and a lot of practice and patience and investing in good equipment (a sewing machine that tells you when the foot isn't down XD), but I'm pretty sure I can make almost anything now!
MewJera I was using a sewing machine in my class and someone threw an airplane at me so I lost concentration and almost lost two fingers
Lucy Muscroft Yikes! That sounds awful! I've always sewn in the comforts of my own home, so I've never had to deal with something like that. I hope the culprit(s) got punished! What were you sewing?
MewJera I started seeing when I was 7, I started cross stitching when I was 8, but I haven't used a sewing machine because I love hand sewing things
i had to make clothes at school when i was younger but i cant really remember anything anymore expect that i was pretty bad at making clothes lol. i wish i could..
MewJera well done I'm jealius
I usually find high-fashion designers to be the kind with a stick up their butt, but Ashton is quite the opposite. It was nice to see how relaxed and adaptable he was, allowing Ladylike to choose everything and only giving advice if one of them hesitated--and playfully poking fun at their fashion (without the "Oh, _honey_ , no" condescension). He reminds me a lot of my costume design (and costume make-up) teacher, who was also quite laidback.
Plus, it was fun to see each woman's style show through--as well as their evolution from "novice" to "not-so-novice". (I remember making so many of the same mistakes: not threading the bobbin, and having my sleeve fall apart; cutting the pattern on the wrong line--and once accidentally cutting a pin in half; forgetting to set the foot; matting the thread and the fabric; etc.) For newbies, they all did really well.
Chantel's dress is amazing!!
I know right sooooooo cute
edit: thanks so much for the like, never got one before
*hello*
Nobody:
Saf 6:44 : look at my scissors
Lmao
Thank u for pointing out this gem
That guy is such a sweetheart ! I hope he is so successful in life ! I love humble people .
Kaitlin Kal Lee IKR
Raina Tietjens go
Kaitlin Kal Lee He already IS!
+Maha S. Right
Kaitlin Kal Lee he has designed for celebrities i am pretty sure he's successful in life
life goal: get an ashton for a best friend
Yes everyone needs an Ashton
NekoGames
i have a friend named ashton dose that count?
Tess Reed I
I have a one boy friends like him but a lot of sassy
Aha I have a cousin who's currently making my other cousin a dress but I'm kinda the forgotten cousin that feels rude to ask for a dress but let's hope he's remembered about me!!😂
I love that they all made something that fits their personal styles so well. They did amazing!
J
When you realize that Ashton is from the new show on Netflix
Mya Holcomb yeah! He’s amazing
What show
Its a sewing competition show i can't think of the name right now
@@myaholcomb9520 cool
Next in Fashion!
I really liked Chantel's dress like I would buy it
Just want to take a moment of appreciation for this video. 😂 The people who helped the girls were so nice an patient. The girls were rockstars. Sewing is hard. But they came in every day and kept at it. The dresses were stunning and dang those girls slayed walking down that runway. They are all so gorgeous and have beautiful personalities.
Is no one gonna talk about how Chantel's looks like it was professionally designed? It's perfect 😍
Savannah Thomas it was professionally designed remember they just picked patterns
chloe blue Chantel also cut everything, sewed everything, worked the machine. She did almost everything. Don't take away her hard effort.
Rogue Battles I'm not taking away her effort but she herself did not design it
chloe blue yes she did. She decided on what style she wanted her dress to be, and derived it from a pre-made style. She made it her own by doing things like adjusting length, removing the collar etc. She styled it herself.
Rogue Battles she altered a pre-made design don't take away the countless hours the person who actually created the pattern from them
6:43 Saf! She does look like a murderer
I think Chantel had the best looking dress! I'm proud of her learning so much when she didn't know anything!! Super inspiring but great dresses ladies!
I'd make the most comfortable oversized hoodie that could go over my head so I could hide from society
DaBookyOtter 345 yaasss!!
Love it
Omg samee
Sameeeeee
I only talk to my bf
If I had Freddie's legs I'd wear skirts and shorts everyday! The ladies did a great job 😊
It feels so weird watching Saf not on her own channel! I love how even at buzzfeed she talked about Tyler and she is so true to herself. With her black clothes and wanting a hood!
And to think....this is mostly how every wildly successful fashion designer started out. Imagine trying to learn how to use a sewing machine without the internet/an actual fashion designer to help
I learned with my granny. She was a seamstress. Simple. I sew my clothes when they rip off and sometimes I make some clothing
I learned with my granny. She was a seamstress. She learned with her uncle. Everyone need a teacher.
rileytibbles actually how to thread the machine is in the manual and you just follow a dress pattern. It's really not that hard.
As a design major I had a sick satisfaction watching y'all struggle.
But I also can not stress enough the lack of ironing in this video. It's giving me heart palpitations. So many unpressed seams.
Shelbie Nicholson I was thinking the same thing.
Shelbie Nicholson then why did you watch it?
Shelbie Nicholson we get it, your probably a really nice person and you're probably amazing at sewing but don't come on here to hate please.😩
888 777 Agreed. I didn't see any hate in her comment. She just stated an observation and shared how she felt about it.
Freddie's unaligned pockets really annoyed me but they did pretty good
I've made my own clothes...they looked bad but I made them.
Aryahnaisnotonfire all that matters :)
Aryahnaisnotonfire hey Pham
Aryahnaisnotonfire hey phamily member
Im crafting so hard right now.
Okay this is the most important desicion of your ENTIRE LIFE. Dan or Phil?
Me- *Sees Saf*
Me- *Clicks the video*
Saf looks so gorgeous in the thumbnail
Jen would've rocked this video
stiles winchester Why does everyone like Jen so much? I like Saf way better
+Vol de Mort but an adorable, hilarious hazard. Like a kitten!
stiles winchester ö
I would fear for her safety lmao
stiles winchester 😑
I started sewing at ten and was ten when I got my sewing machine
The first thing I sewed was a pair of leggings and then I wore them and they fell apart
Lauren Granger i learned how to hand sew when I was about ten too.But just got my sewing machine last year for my 17th birthday. Before i got a sewing machine all of my cosplays and costumes were hand sewn.so much of my time in the past 7 years has been spent sewing threw the night to finish stuff.
Ouch 😂 were you in public??😄
The first thing I made was a pillow, with a needle and thread.
Then I took a sewing class and made a pair of pajama pants and a tote bag with a sewing machine.
DISCLAIMER: The pants didn't fit properly XD
Lauren Granger I first started sweing by hand with a sewing kit and then for Christmas I got a macine and made a pillow and a shirt for one of my stuff animals ps:the shirt was wa to big ad there was something weird going on at the back
Lauren Granger LOL
I have a cousin who's studying fashion design. She's been making clothing since 2013, and only now she's starting to get really "good" at it. Sewing is hard, guys!
Arhtur Mezacasa Can you ask your cousin how do you make dresses and how hard is it lol
Juni Cortez It depends on the design of the dress, the shape, how fitted, how detailed it is, if and how supportive it needs to be, what fabric you use and the shape of the person it's being made for.
I'm 10 and can make doll clothes
Well we have to sew sitbags and stuff like that in school but i think this is wayyyyyy more difficult
hey, it's thanks to this video that i'm super passionate about fashion now. when i watched this for the first time a few years ago, i was mesmerized and super inspired, and i got my grandma to teach me hand sewing. i finally got my hands on a sewing machine two years ago and i've been machine sewing ever since. thank you, ladylike. i can officially say that at age 15 i'm a better seamstress than three grown women. no hate because you all did great. but thank you.
my first actual sewing project was an elizebeathin dress with: a bum role, a under skirt, a over skirt, a inner peace with long sleeves, and a corset. it was for a theater project and I got an A+ on it because I was extra. I love sewing. it really has helped me in the long run and making costumes.
Alois Trancy fan yayyy cosplay power ^^
CoffeeDragon 520 wow you must've been really confident with that! The most I did when I first started "sewing" was just a purse...it wasn't even a good purse lol I don't know what I did with it. I made SO. MANY. PURSES. Like I was amazed that I could sew I thought I was so cool. The first piece of clothing I made when I actually knew what I was doing was a half circle skirt with button closures...looking back at it, it's horrible, but I was super proud of it at the time so let's look past the horrible side to it
Ps: I say "sewing" because I was 9 and had no idea what I was doing. I currently picked sewing back up and decided to forget about what I did when I was 9 and would like to think that this year was my first time sewing...lmao
CoffeeDragon 520 I bet you're lying, nobody can do that well on their first project lol
Ashton looks like he low-key has a crush on Saf lmao
But he is zaddy af
I'd feel so guilty if he wasn't, but, isn't Ashton... gay???
I'd think he'd be more of her gay bestfriend XD
Debby Ek pretty sure he's gay ...
oh hes gay lmao i never knevv looool
Ashton was totally cheking out Chantel😂
Andjelija Markov 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I started sewing at 4 with a napkin lol
Kelly Duncan omg same however i started sewing wen i was 8
SAME

Kelly Duncan lol

That nude color dress made the girl SEEM like she was a professional.
GhostCat101 the pun would've worked better if you'd said SEAM. Wait... was this a pun? Or am I just hallucinating puns where they aren't.
Freddie said "the cat gone see it" 😂😂😭
love it how safiya was using the scissors in the back round

“i have a problem”
“i do too what’s yours?”
I feel like they never include Jen or Kristin anymore
Michelle Le ikr
Michelle Le kristen had a video yesterday
Hannah evdx I mean in ladylike
I'm glad they don't include Kristen anymore.
mishiux why
I'm so upset their dresses turned out so perfect and I've been getting lessons on sewing for a year and my dresses still look pooy
Karlie Ifthisis You haven't had a world class designer helping you! don't be so hard on yourself :)
Karlie Ifthisis they make it seem easy so others want to do it, they had tons of people help them if you watch the video xx don't worry about it ;) :3
Karlie Ifthisis yeah..... I can relate to you😒
it's definitely a hard skill to learn and perfect. I sew and I personally prefer pdf patterns over paper patterns. If you have a Facebook, try joining the George & Ginger pattern group. There are tons of free patterns offered and they are VERY easy and beginner friendly. The Patterns For Pirates group also offers free pattern codes for their shop on etsy for stretchy pants and a pencil skirt that I've seen complete beginners do in under 2 hours.
Karlie Ifthisis truthfully, they probably got a lot more help than the video gives credit for. I've been sewing my entire life. I work in a costume shop, so I meet all levels of costume builders. Truthfully, I have met only ONE whose work looked like a factory did it. She's been sewing for 20 years, patterning and cutting for 15 of those 20, working in the industry for the past 10, and is still taking courses to get better. It's not an easy art, no matter how many people try to tell you so. Don't feel bad if your garments aren't perfect! They will be with time, practice, and love!! (Also, my optimist look on my poorly made garments: they're an excuse to get better at alterations haha)
Could you make this a series? To have clothes making?
Ainhoa True! Haha!!

“The cats gon See It”
Um... Freddie said that 😆
I started sewing when I was 10 or 11 and the day after I got my sewing machine and a crap ton of material, I made a circle skirt! It was wearable, but the stitching was really, really, messy.
I wish I could be apart of the buzzfeed team 😭 they get to try so many fun things and get paid for it
Lenaxheart you have to go threw a lot more before you actually get to make the buzzfeed videos
Lenaxheart IKRRR
Lenaxheart nah, nah nah

"I couldn't even sew a pincushion"
*Sews sexiest dress ever*

UnknownVengeance personally I find hand sewing easier
