My cats don't sit on top of my machine, but they do occasionally get curious and hop on my sewing table to sniff my sewing machine and fabric while I'm sewing something 😄
I was taught to baste the seam and iron it open before sewing in the zipper. Then taping or pinning the zipper centered on the seam. This way the fabric meets over the zipper to kinda hide the zipper (and two sides match up). The goal was, of course, to get the zipper perfectly aligned with the seam 🙂 Since I can’t recall seeing it done this way on the sewing channels I watch, I am wondering if this is not taught anymore? I think I learned it in Home Ec. in the mid 60‘s. P.S. I love the fabric and the dress and was so happy to see you hand sew the hem. This is the way that I was taught was correct for just about every hem😁.
I'm more of a one sided placket type of gal, I've done it the middle way but find the one sided placket suits me better? and yes I love handsewing the hem, it is one of my favorite parts.
What a cute little dress. The fabric makes this something fun but neat. You always do a great job of finishing those details. It makes such a difference to the finished look.
Your beautiful dress looks lovely on you - the style, fabric and buttons all work together perfectly. Also, I’m happy to sew for people as a gift but not when they expect it. Someone said recently I could sew something I was wearing for them. It was a demand. I said I already did a full time job plus this. She said ‘that’s ok, I don’t need it till the summer. You’ve got till then! ’ 🙄(It’s not gonna happen!) 💗🌸
Very cute and springy. I just bought a vintage Vogue with a tie front. My cat wants to sit on the fabric I'm sewing . I've given her a chair with fabric scraps piled on it.
haha spooky likes to play in most fabric scraps but when I cut silk it is her favorite and I have a silk scrap pile I store and use to try to keep her from the silk I'm cutting lol
My cat, Luna has two places where she likes to perch while I’m sewing: her cat tree (which is right next to my sewing table) and my shoulder 😐 She’s still tiny for a three year old kitty, so she doesn’t weigh anything. But my shoulders bear many scars from her. I call her my parrot 🦜. I also wanted to say that I love that technique for cutting out pockets! Why have I never thought to just fold the fabric twice and cut it out once! 🤯 As always, this project came out amazing and I really dig your use of color
Amazing work, looks beautiful and like such a breezy wear -- I feel like the tie would be a comfortable "hug" and make me less conscious about buttons at the waistline
This dress is so cute! And you look great! I would love to be able to have a 1950's dress, but were do you find the patterns? And then the harder part (finding a right🥺😭 size)!? Thank you for sharing it all P.S I like when you were talking about the cost to make. The materials are ok, but the labor not so good. Then also when you said about doing things for free. I have made a few clothing things (years and years ago.) But I do do other craftings. And I remember making a very large crochet afghan for a person at my husbands work, (he said he would pay for me to do it) Then later after, all he talked about was the cost!? Really I made what he wanted the size he needed and in the colors he asked for, but it was like my time was nothing?! Sorry I just was listening to you and was thinking, your so right. Our time does cost! Thank you again, very much 💜
5 minutes in & I know I'm going to love this, but I have to ask a question. I'm making a dress for my daughter & in all my decades of sewing, I've never relocated a zipper. Is there anything special I need to do to move it to the back from the side?
@@HaleyMarieVintage since there's already a center back seam, all I have to do is close up the side? It's really that simple? I love your dress!! It's so bright & springy 💐
Thanks for the help! I moved the zipper to the back & it's perfect!! And thank you for repeating that you understitch the facings. I heard you in my head as I was adding those facings & understitched them to help keep it clean.
Love your dress the colors are so pretty and bright! I have that pattern in my stash and watching you has enspired me to sew that pattern into a dress. Thank you. Love your channel.
Love more than you know that you cover the financials. I despise that people expect sewists to do pro bono
My cats don't sit on top of my machine, but they do occasionally get curious and hop on my sewing table to sniff my sewing machine and fabric while I'm sewing something 😄
LOVE this fabric and the dress is so elegant! Spooky is the cutest supervisor ever! The shenanigans and “strict supervision” is too cute!

Lovely fabric and spring dress!
Another fabulous dress I love your material 😊😊😊xx
Oh my gosh this looks so cute! I love that tie detail. I think it probably wouldn’t be too hard to draft if one isn’t blessed to find the pattern!
Your new dress 👗 looks wonderful on you 🥰😊. Pockets on dresses👗 are wonderful to have for your keys and phone 📱 😊. Or delicious 😋 snacks😊.
Thank you!
That dress came out great! Glad you liked the hand basting tip!
That dress is amazing! It The quality craftmanship is obvious and it moves beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!

Lol it is so funny I've yet to really have someone expect me to sew for them but the day it happens they're getting a heavy dose of sass
Hi Haley Marie. I love the dress and the patterned material you used. It suits you so well.
Thank you!
So inspiring for Spring! Delightful fabric choice! Perfect pattern for Spring. Great fit! Love it!

Omg that is so cute, I love cats that sit on shoulders! and yes I am always trying to do the least amount of cutting possible lol. Thank you!
Oooohhhhh, such a cute dress! I was also happy to see the Spooky appearances :-) Thanks for sharing
I'm trying to give her more screen time since people worry when she is not involved lol
The ties are cute!
Love the style and fabric you used for this project it looks beautiful on you
Your dress is beautiful!❤

Lovely dress. Love the fabric
Thank you!
Fabric is adorable! Looks like a great dress for work in the office.
Yes is definitely works great for the office!
Adorable! 🤩❤
Amazing work, looks beautiful and like such a breezy wear -- I feel like the tie would be a comfortable "hug" and make me less conscious about buttons at the waistline
That is a good point, it definitely helps with the awkwardness of waistline buttons!
So pretty! I like it a lot.
Great dress! I hav been waiting for you to use this fabric :)
In the intro, you match your vase & flowers so well that you look like a human bouquet 💕 Great eye for detail!
Thank you!
Very pretty, great job, love your videos

I find the patterns on Etsy and Ebay and only buy ones close to my size!
Nah. That dress can move from Spring to Summer.

Make sure to add seam allowance if you forget it it becomes a problem, otherwise it is just as simple as adding a seam where you want the zip!

Where did you find your pattern weights
They are from stylemakerfabrics.com/ but I don't see any on her site right now, I'll ask if she plans on restocking them!

It is a fantastic pattern, I feel like it turned out even cuter than the envelope!
