Hi Dana! Thank you for all your bright, fun and easy to understand video's! Love from the Netherlands
Love it, thanks Dana! I'm a novice sewer, but your videos make it so easy to follow along and now I have something else to make for my 6mo girl! 😊
Your sewing videos are the best!! You explain so clearly and show exactly what you are doing, I love it!! Such a cute dress.
Thank you so much for the amazingly clear and detailed pattern and video. I just finished this dress for my granddaughter and it’s beautiful. I’m 52 years old and this is the first garment I’ve ever sewn since learning to sew a couple of months ago! I’m so proud of myself right now!
Your presentations are so simple to follow and encouraging. Your colors and patterns are so 'Doris Day'... love it!!
Wow! So Beautifully Made. I Loved The Pattern.
Love love love your tutorials! Stubbled across your videos last week when I was searching for a tutorial on shorts. You made it super easy to learn and the shorts turned out great!
I love this pattern.❤️ brought it yesterday and made a size 6 yrs,today I'm making a size 7,just for the extra room.
I did a little trick my mum taught me with the elastic cord and that is to tape the loop together before you insert it in between the fabric pieces as this keeps the loop together, works a treat.
Still a newbie after 20 plus years of sewing so watched this video over and over. I nailed it. 😁
Taping the cord can make the needle sticky if it goes through it. The best way to hold the cord together is to take a stitch or two through it to secure it. That way, the needle doesn't get sticky and jam-up.
Good to see you after a long time... It's was a wonderful video 😁
Just wanted to say you're awesome and I love your sewing tutorials
I'm making the peplum swing dress that forms part of the pattern for the 5th time now! I watch this video everytime. Thank you again. So helpful. My friends go gaga for the tops my daughter are wearing
your videos have helped me SO much! i just started sewing my kids clothes and your videos are so much better than others out there! they are easy to follow and are so helpful! Love your fabric too!!! Thank you so much!
I really, really enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you so much! 😊
Made mine... easy to follow instructions and so pleased with the result for my first dressmaking attempt. Thank you
Wow, lovely. I just made my daughter a beautiful dress thanks to your guidance. Good job.
I love watching your video tutorials. You are so precise and specific when giving your tutorial. I am going to make this for my 2 years old niece. Love your channel. - From Toledo, Ohio.
Thanks Theresa! That makes me happy to hear....and keeps me wanting to make more! :) Dana
I love your tutorials, you take out any anxieties around sewing, you make it seem so easy which made me feel so comfortable trying more and more detailed projects like this dress for my daughters. You inspire me to keep sewing, cant wait to see more videos, keep up the great work 👏 🥰
Thanks Kelly! I'm so happy to hear that! Have lots of fun sewing! Dana
Thank you so much, I was able to sew my first dress. It came out great, thanks for your instructions. 100% satisfied.
Yaaay!!! So excited to see this dress tute. I love your patterns and your tutorials are my favorite. You make everything with a smile ❤️ Off to purchase this pattern and make some dresses for my littlest girl.
Awww Thanks Annette! :) Dana
Thank you so much for this, one little girls book day costume done! Fantastic easy clear instructions :)
I am so thankful for you!!! I just finished the dress and I feel so happy! It's adorable. This is the first time I've sewn anything since home ec class way back in the late 1970's!!! I usually knit, but this was so quick compared to knitting a dress! Again thank you for the pattern and the video makes it doable for someone like me!
Aww that is the best!! I'm so happy to hear that! YES. Sewing something and watching it transform from fabric into an actual cute, useful item is so empowering. I'm glad you got to experience that again! I hope you have fun sewing more projects. Thanks for sharing Tracy! :) - Dana
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing 💕
I loved this video! Thank you so much. I would love it if you could do a small video on how to attach the sleeve when working with a lining. It make it so much easier for us novice sewers. Thanks again for all the awesome videos!
Love it Dana. Sewing one for my granddaughter as I watch your video. Thank you. xx
I love this!!! I think I will try this in flannel. It will be super cute paired with a turtle neck and tights for my 6 year old.
That was brilliant. ..one of the best tutorials I have seen for a long time. Thank you
Thank u for sharing! I like how u carefully stitched n sewed slow. I will try to make this dress, looks so easy to make
Hey Dana I'm so glad you posted a new video. Your tutorials are so good.. thanks. Love from Mauritius
Your so lylu
you give me motivation and make it seem so easy! i love watching your videos!
I just made this dress today for Easter for my daughter. It looks so good. The lining really adds an element of polish. As a new sewer I’m very proud of myself.
Oh that's so exciting and makes me so happy to hear! Good job!! And yes, it's fun to have a lining in there :) Virtual High five! - Dana
That is so encouraging! As a new sewer, myself, I am concerned how long this is going to take! How long did it take you?
If I recall, between kids, chores, life etc it took me two days but I think maybe 5 or 6 hours all together.
@@Lyonfam6 I have followed several more of her patterns since then and they are all very simple and nice looking.
Thanks so much for this, I bought the pattern and followed the video and now have completed my first lined dress. I want to brave the sleeves next time. Lovely project for lockdown when you can't go to clothes shops.
Dont ever stop making videos please!!! Love love love them! 💓
This is pretty cute!!! Gonna to make for my 2 lovely little nieces :D
I love how understanding your videos are and I’d like u to do more adults stuff though
Lovely to see you back Dana. Brilliant tutorial 😘
Your easy, neat dress lining INSPIRED me. Took pic of a similar retail 24mo. dress, while holding a slide rule. Having shortened my dear friend's long sundress to above the knee, she's being surprised
with that toddler A-line, with enough outside scrap material left, for her newborn baby granddaughter. Used a Co-ording solid, lining fabric. Thanks :-}
Clear voice
Perfect way steps
Full explanation
I hope more videos and success 💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful fabric. Thank you for teaching. Greetings from Mexico, I love to watch your tutorials.
Thank you Pabeoli! :) Dana
Such a lovely and so educative video. Thanks for sharing.
Got your wonderful pattern yesterday. Made one of the dresses today. Fabulous. So easy with your great instructions. Thank you so much. Margaret in Glasgow Scotland
Thank you sooo much for your clear pattern. I have never bought before a pattern which can fit for a beginner like yours. You really know how to make things simple. I highly recommend this pattern to anyone regardless of their sewing skill. The only thing which I really would like the seam allowance instead of 3/8, 4/8 would give more room and comfort to sew with less error.
Thank you again,
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
I am a new sewer and my first project was your zipper lined pouch. It came out so pretty! Now, I want to try this dress for my niece. I know she will love it! Thanks for the super helpful videos.
Awesome! Good job! Have fun sewing :) Dana
Great job, I am going to make one for my granddaughter!!
I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE SO CREATIVE
Hello from Pflugerville! :D I can't tell you how much I appreciate this tutorial. I was following a pattern yesterday that did an extremely poor job of explaining the back of the dress slit and cord concept. I spent hours trying to understand what they were saying, and eventually just gave up. This tutorial made COMPLETE sense, and I thank you so much for it! Happy sewing. :)
Oh good! I'm glad it all made sense! Thanks for sharing that. And Hello from nearby Austin! Have fun sewing :) Dana
I'm happy your back! I love your videos! I love your fabric too!
Adorable dress!! Thanks for the tutorial!
Oh my gosh! You are so talented and make this look so easy! I can't wait to try making this dress. Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Headed to your site to look at your adorable fabrics now. :)
It's not hard! Just take it a step at a time, and have fun. 😊
Great to see you again!
You present very well and just elegant and classy and fabulous
Thank you very much. from the bottom of my heart.
Oh she’s so cute. The looks amazing on her🙏👌💕
Yay!! You uploaded another video!!! You are my favorite person on youtube!!!. Thanks!!!!
Thanks Andrea! :) Dana
I just love your videos! Your way of teaching is amazing!
Thank you Arlene! That's really nice to hear---keeps me motivated to make more videos :) Dana
This was a great video to learn from. I just started sewing and finally got a sewing machine to make things easier and very excited to try this.
Got one for Christmas myself was feeling overwhelmed since didn't know where to start
This was an amazing video thank you so much it turned out great made one for my daughter and my wife and now I'm hooked
I'll b 66 this yr n I've never really sewn much except for some half-completed sch sewing work.As I watch u teaching n demonstrating how easy it is to sew that dress, my heart was thumping fast n I visualise myself actually making a homemade dress for my 1yr old granddaughter.Still thinking abt it n hope to make it a beautiful wearable reality!
You’re back 🎉🎊🙋🏽♀️ 💜💜💜 xx
Because of you….i got into sewing baby blankets….burp cloths…bibs!! Now I have a granddaughter 2yrs old n I want to sew cute stuff for her!! 😊
Aloha from Hawaii! Love your videos. You make it encouraging for a novice like me to continue. Mahalo!
what a great thing for YT..I am 62, was a textile designer in the 80's... sewed since I'm 15...and how fortunate you can design your own fabric, sell it and have a YT channel to do all that. That didnt exist in the past....
Greta video, informative, precise, and well edited. Love that you go over all steps, without beeing boring... Good job
Yay! So happy to see a new video. I thought I would just watch a few min and get back to the rest later but I ended up watching all 24:28 at once! LOL. Your demos are absolutely the best. 🙌👏👏👏
Thanks for the tutorial Dana. I've bought and printed the pattern. Now I'm gonna start cutting it and the material right away. Wish me luck! 😊
Loved this tutorial. I've seen many tutorial on little girl dresses and this is far the best I've seen yet. I've been searching exhaustingly because I so want to sew dresses for my 2 yr old. Thanks to you, I've got a project to start. *****
Absolutely love this tutorial! Definitely making this for my daughter 😍😍
Ur way of explaining the steps is awesome...looking forward to more from such a talented lady as u..love from Pakistan.
Thank you Ayesha! :) Dana
Just purchased the pattern. Thanks so much for making it look so easy. Can't wait to try it! :)
Thank you, Lurinda! Have fun sewing :)
I Luv❤️ this baby’s dress 👗 I
Totally want to make this for my grand daughter!!!!!💕💕💕
you are very old
I love this it was so easy and simple ❤️😍
How funny! I just made my first a couple of weeks ago and sat down tonight to make my second and this popped up! Love this pattern. Thank you so much!! 💛 Now I'm going to watch the video and make sure I've been doing it properly 😆
mum.me right? Lol I'm learning too. So comparing helps me guide my thought process
@@KouzyFox absolutely! Love a good video tutorial!
Lovely tutorial. You take the fear out of sewing :D I can't wait to have a go at this for my 1yr old grandbaby. Thank you so much for your tutorials, I've learned a fair bit since I found you.
Oh that's great, I'm glad it's less scary. :) Enjoy sewing for your grandbaby!
Thank you :D
Thankyou so much! You instructions are so clear. Just beautiful.
Thank you Kate! That's nice to hear. Have fun sewing 😊
Wow very pretty dress looks easy 😀 also very pretty little girl! Thank you for Sharing!!! Liz x
Fantastic!!!!! Just what I've been looking for once again job well done!!!! Please keep these videos coming!!
Fab video. U make it look so easy lol. Uve sold me on the speed control option- hunting for new sewing machine lol x
LOVE IT!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Can't wait to try this when I get home!
It so beautiful! I will do it for my girls!
I love the simplicity of this dress as I’m new to sewing garments. It’s nice to have a pattern that uses cotton instead of knit! I wish you had an instructional video for the sleeved swing dress!
Thanks! And yes, I've always planned to do a video of the swing version, I just haven't gotten around to it! I'll have to do that soon :)
So cute! For educational purposes it might be better to use a slightly darker lining fabric next time as your table and sewing machine are all so white too!
Hi there. Yep. Sorry about that! I wanted a white lining to work with the dress, but that would have been a better idea :) Thanks for watching! Dana
I made my first pair of pants when I was 9 years old. Enjoy yourself, it's great fun to make your own clothes.
I love watching you it's full of details... And I get my new sewing machine to learned more
Thank for this brilliant pattern and tutorial...I am primarily a quilter who makes dresses for charity on the side. This pattern eliminated all the skills I am challenged on: bias binding, gathering, and buttonholes. It is a win-win for me. Thank you 😊
Perfect! Awesome!
Thanks a million learnt a lot from it even though I already make garments like this. We sure learn everyday cos methods are different. Thumbs up.
Am so loving this video thanks much
You are such a great teacher!!!!
Great job You have good way of explaining the details of sewing
You make it look so easy to make this dress. I wish I had time to make the dress so my granddaughter could wear it the first day of school.
Watching this restored my faith in myself to try this! Thanks! Great tutorial
Love you Dana!
My project this weekend :) I was saying - "Wow! Such a smart, great teacher!", my daughter - "She looks like Elsa!" Thank you for a great pattern and teaching video!
Hahaha. Thanks! Have fun sewing :) Dana
Absolutely fantastic! Would love to see more adult patterns too!
Yes that would be wonderful! I keep looking for adult patterns as I am trying to begin sewing some of my own clothes and I can only find examples of children clothes. As lovely as they are they wouldn't work for me.
Absolutely fantastic work would love to see adults patterns too and I would love to get the website for little girls pattern also thank you
I agree! I would love to make this dress for myself, but I'm such a newbie I have no concept of how to make it bigger. LOL Adult patters would be terrific.
I love your fabric line!
Como no entiendo una sola palabra de lo que decís, me quede encantada con tu peinado. ❤
Thank you, awesome from Catherine NZ
This is so beautiful! I want to make this for my daughter. Very clear & precise instructions! Thank you for sharing!
