    All the way through this video I just couldn't take my eyes of your pretty 🌹dress, you did a wonderful job with it and I loved the frilled hem. Re your Easter dress, you can imagine the hairs on the back of my neck sticking up when you said lining 😂😂. A slip is SO much easier! Cannot wait to see you tomorrow ❤❤❤💃🏻🎉 xx

    Polyester is a trickster fabric. Sometimes it tries to fool you by feeling so nice when you touch it in the store and misbehaving later. I love plan B dress!

    Higher thread count or percale sheets are very tightly woven which is why you need a very sharp needle… something learned in quilting when using bedsheets for backing. ❤

    Hello, Jen! Happy Easter😊 the dress you made out of a sheet is really pretty! Thanks for the heads up on the issues with pattern. I love dresses but I don’t make many. I just finished my Sidney Dress today; it will be my Easter dress.
    I’ve been studying scripture more and more. Just makes me feel so good to read and study. May the peace of our risen Lord be with you❤️

    I've been playing catch-up, watching a bunch of your videos. What a pleasure! Trusting that your Resurrection Sunday was lovely and blessed for you and yours. I'm with you, no better celebration day for those of us walking with our Lord Jesus!
    Your yellow dress is darling, perfect for Spring time and I love the blue maxi you showed - simply stunning!! I wonder which you wore.🤗
    Happy belated birthday to your daughter. My youngest brother is a March baby whose birthday fell on Easter Sunday this year, kind of special as he is music worship leader at their church! Now that we're living in Miamisburg, we don't see him often being four and a half hours away. Same goes for my middle brother (I'm oldest), also located in N.E. Ohio.
    Love the cute dress you're wearing, and even more so since it's done from a sheet! Need to get busy myself with a cute sheet Hubby bought for me for a summer dress! Sadly between headaches, winter sickness and now recovering from pulling my back - oi! I just want to get to do normal stuff again!!
    Need to bring this book length comment to an end, so 🤗🤗🤗to you!💖

    Instead of buying distilled water I have been heating my tap water to boiling on the stove. As soon as it hits boiling I turn it off and place a lid on it and wait for it to cool. The initial steaming before boiling is suppose to remove contaminates and additives. once it's cooled I add it to my bottle. So far so good but I do need to do a vinegar cleaning like I do with my coffee maker.

    The only birthday this month in my family is a sweet niece. I made her a card and sent it. I don’t think you can put photos in a comment or maybe I just don’t know how or I’d slip in a picture. Love the sheet dress, that’s a cute pattern. Looking forward to see the Easter dress modeled. Happy Resurrection Day. So thankful He arose.

    I only use spring water. I got an oliso in 2020 and that's what it recommended.
    I love that bible quote!
    My favorite is Roman's 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us ❤

    March is a big birthday month for many in my family ~ including me!, as well as a couple of friends. I found myself shaking my head "yes, good idea/fix to wear a slip with your Easter dress". Hope you can get it finished in time to wear it on Sunday....if not both the blue dress you showed a photo off and the dress you are wearing would be lovely. AND....wow, what fun to hear you call my name as the winner of Nancy Zieman's book! Thank you so much Jen! I've sent you an email. ~ Gail

      Good for you, you deserved those shirts! Happy birthday! And I wore something completely different, a dress I'd had in my closet for a couple of years that's made from a microfiber sheet. Crazy - but it just felt right and ended up being perfect.

    Happy Easter, love that dress your wearing it's really cute. are you making your daughter's wedding dress? it's beautiful. Yes, we have many March birthdays, me (I turned 70 and can't believe I'm this old) my Neice who turned 48, my aunt who turned 77 (my mom and grandma were having babies at the same time my sister is 75), my middle grandson who turned 17 and my nephew who turned 52.

    Hi Jen, your dress is beautiful! I love the Easter alternative too. I wanted to ask: I've finally decided to start a UA-cam channel... is anyone able to post with the FridaySews hashtag? I wasn't sure if it was by invitation so I thought I'd check first. Thanks so much for starting it, and all the wonderful channels I have found to watch as a result. Also, I have some home dec fabric I never used... and was just thinking I should make some trousers from it, maybe I finally will!
