Wow just Wow! Thank you so much for this video. I am new to sewing and this was my second attempt at making a dress- it is wearable but seeing your video I am able to see where I made some mistakes! Going to attempt to make another one!
Paige, you are amazing!!!!!!!! You are gorgeous, kind, patient and soooooo skilled! You are beyond inspiring!!! Since finding your channel I have bought several patterns and fabrics you worked on and can’t wait to get started on them. You take everything to a higher level!!! I recently finished my first college course in apparel construction but have been sewing apparel for many years. I love your thorough and patient approach. I will pay more attention to fit going forward. You have an eye for design. I’m so impressed with you! I also liked your tips on sewing with kids. I’m teaching my daughter to sew and it is a bonding experience. I love, love, love your fabric here. Where did you buy it? Is there a link? It looks stunning!!!!! I could go on and on about you! (I have also bought 2 books you recommended and am currently indulging in diving into them!!) Thank you very much for sharing your talent, knowledge and beauty with the world!!! I know HOW MUCH work these videos are, especially with small kids (I have 3 myself: 2, 6 and 8 years old). Paige- you are the sunshine after a storm!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Paige, I'm finding it difficult to read the measurements, etc, for extending the sleeve. Is this extension, and how to do it, posted anywhere else? I can see the general idea, but the white writing is what I can't view in parts. Thanks in advance and I love this green velvet. I'm about to make it in an olive green colour. Cheers, Catherine
Hi Paige! Thanks for the video, I love the dress and will be buying the pattern this week. Quick question: where did you get your ironing board cover with all of the clothing care symbols?
hi Paige after watching your video, i decided to make one so i bought the pattern cause you explained so easy and helpful. just wanted to ask one question. did you change any part from pattern? thanks
Another wonderful video, thank you. I have a question about the crocheted jumper 🥰 you were wearing during the video; Did you make the jumper, if so what pattern did you use?? 😊😍🥰
Thank you! I did make it. I made it up using granny squares. Sort of like a vest and then adding on the sleeves in the round. I knit the button band and cuffs. I didn't use a pattern and I'm not sure of one that is similar.
Have you noticed that nearly all patterns produce a size or three too large of a garment? I find it irritating and I feel bad that I wasted time and material making something that is too big.
Many people do find that to be true. I think the big brands, such as McCalls, are one size too big for my taste. I look at the finished garment measurements before making the garment to gauge how it would fit. A lot is learned through trial and error, but some skills help you find a better fit from the start. Some people paper/tissue fit before cutting out the fabric. Some make up a muslin/toile to check fit.

Probably not necessary to serge the seams. Velvet doesn’t fray. Beautiful dress!

Yes, McCalls 7974.
