When I do gathering I use a twin needle and put it on the longest stitch length and it saves me from doing two rows of stitches 🧵 for gathering happy 😊 sewing 🧵
too cute. You make me think outside the box when it comes to commercial patterns. I wouldn't have purchased this pattern because I would look preggo in that top as is. Extending the bodice, so simple yet so game changing. Thank you Mimi.
Thanks for sharing. I love that you are now including pics and video of you wearing finished garment. I don’t follow the blog so this is perfect! Now I’m gonna be making bows for everything.. lol
Thank you sew much for all the content on all the outlets you provide for us. It’s not something that you have to do and I for one am grateful. You teach, you inspire, you motivate... You are loved and appreciated and I pray God continues to bless you in all areas of your life.
Excellent video with great ideas for this pattern! The contrasting binding on the top is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing how to sew up such a cute bow. Inspired to add this to my makes for the week have just enough time to get this cut out today.
Nice little summer dress! I like to cut off the selvage edge. It seems to shrink at a different rate than the fabric sometimes and can pull the garment out of shape a little.
Hi Mimi. I love the dress. I also have one similar to it but I have sleeves on mine. The bow gives it a very different look. Thanks for sharing. I don't use ready made patterns so I make my own. Looks great.
You are the cutest ever ! Love your hair ! You can go from so cute to sophisticated chic in a snap ... Love the dress ... It looks so comfy and cool ... Your tutorials are the BEST !!!
Would love to see how a longer sleeve could be added. Is there a video where you add a sleeve to a sleeveless design? Enjoy your videos. Always learn something.
MiMi, you are a life saver. LOL. I am looking for something easy to make for a wedding and I might just make something like this but in a linen. Thank you, MiMi. Oh, and the wedding is tomorrow. :) You are such an inspiration. Take care.
I'm looking forward to doing the modified version also. I have a question though. I noticed that your white dress is longer than this striped one. Did you extend the bodice more than 1 inch on that one? Or is it that you left the white one unfinished on the bottom?
I made this top a few months ago with an fba and could not get the darts right! Any tips? I typically do a two inch fba and lower the apex about an inch. I had a hard time finding info online about armscye darts.
I would like to use this pattern but I am a petite size the arm holes are usually too large how would I adjust this is there is a dart in this pattern?
Well guess what? I didn't watch till the end. 😊 Usually when you say "all that's left to do is the hem and then you're all done", means the video is over "peace" ✌️. I love that you are now including pics and you modeling the garment. Eso es lo que yo quería. Gracias mija.
The pattern for a dress I have says to measure and cut the pattern for your bust size. According to the pattern, I have a bust size for an 8, but I know the rest of the pattern is going to be too large for the rest of me. How do I modify patterns for this? Do I cut everything out for the 8 then continue pinning and such until if fits me properly? There is some side paneling on the dress as well and I'm worried it will look odd if I do that. Any suggestions?
How long were you bias tapes strips? Did you measure around the armhole when making your bias tape? Thanks!! 😊 I saw this on your blog and fell in love 😍 I bought the pattern and is trying to make it..wish me luck
Hey Mimi, I realy like your videos. It's so inspiring. Last year you made a freebie wrap skirt, wich was so wonderful. I bought the fabric but now the video Is offline. Could you please upload it again. I'm so in love with this skirt and want to sew it. :)
this tutorial is easy to understand....straight forward and to the point. thank you

I have this pattern. Lovely idea. Your white dress look very pretty. Lovely hairstyle as well
I love A line style dresses, they are so forgiving when your shape is not up to par for a clingy knit style dress. We need to see more like these.
What a cutie! This is my favorite style dress. Would like to see more roaring twenties fashions. Me encanta
Adorable, I learned something new too;; love your details very easy to follow thank you
Congratulations on your lovely video clearly spoken clearly demonstrated what a treat .can’t wait to see more thanks a million.

Mimi l love your tutorials!! Quick question is it possible to gather an A line skirt? Or could you please make a video about it?
I made this top a few months ago with an fba and could not get the darts right! Any tips? I typically do a two inch fba and lower the apex about an inch. I had a hard time finding info online about armscye darts.
Me too Heather. I do like the idea of this long waisted dress - may try it.
I would like to use this pattern but I am a petite size the arm holes are usually too large how would I adjust this is there is a dart in this pattern?

I would like to know what the WALKAWAY dress (Butterick B4790) would look like on you.
Good morning Mimi G, can you tell me how you create your name that you put into your clothes you sew?
Thanks so much Mimi. Can you please do a basic bodice tutorial with bust darts please. Thanks in advance
Very cute
Mimi i love your tutorials. I have boys, would you consider doing a tutorial for boys clothes?
Waiting for processing to finish. Lol. 😍

Any tips for sewing in s straight line , it’s very difficult for me
Beatbydom you need to sign up for my online sewing school, we teach you everything! And it’s only $11 a month.
Mimi G Style can I do the school from my phone my laptop is broke. 😭
I wish you would show us the garment at the end. The pics in the beginning are too brief. I wanted to see it with the bow.
Super Z what are you talking about? Did you watch the entire video. I have pics at the end and video of me in it 🤦🏽♀️
