Hey everyone !! Thanks for being here! Let me know in the comments what projects y’all have been working on 💖
Ah LOVE the idea of layering a sheer neon on top of the patchwork!! Can’t wait to see what else you make, my friend ❤ I’m about to start working on a quilted valentines dress 😅 wish me ALL DA LUCK
Thank you mate !! Appreciate it a lot. Sending all the sewing luck to you & please show the finished result!! Sounds like an amazing project. 💖
My gosh! Both legends in the same chat 🤯
@@thegirlwhoeats8863 that's what I thought!! Love @KathleenIllustrated and @fromcarlyb
so excited to see more from you here on youtube, love getting a glimpse of your wild creative process! plus the quality of the video is amazing, wouldn't have guessed this was your first video
This is so lovely & kind. Thank you for watching & appreciating the process!! ( hehe) My little brother helped me make it look all professional - all him!!
Carly!! I love that you are branching out to youtube. You are so creative, and overall just a rad and genuine person. Thank you for your joy and for sharing it with all of us
Thank you friend !! Appreciate it a lot 💖💖💖
Just wondering if you ever did updates on this dress after washing and drying it? I would think it would be softer and not as stiff. I love this idea.
Yippee!!! Love this tutorial, very well made
Thank you mr fridge !!!!!
It turned out so cute! Great video :)
Thank you!! 😊
The outer lime-tulle layer was such a smart idea! I've done patchwork stuff before but never thought of that and it really gives you two huge benefits over not including it; I love how it "contains" everything, so any fraying or unraveling over time wont cause catching on stuff and it creates a great unifying "filter" so you can really just use any fabric together and it will all blend. Thank you so much for sharing this project, I feel like you really opened my eyes and now I want to "tulle" something. Not sure what yet, but it's such a great idea!
Thank you so much! It does keep everything neat & contained - it's so ideal!! and yes I totally agree about the filter!! Good luck with your future projects!!
Everything about this video was amazing 😍
Love all the close up shots and the camera angles and all the cuts were just the right amount of time ☺️👌🏻
This is definitely not first video vibes!
Matt did an incredible job editing this tutorial too ☺️👌🏻
Thank you Bridie !! Means a lot coming from you!!
You sew girl! I love your recycle/reuse fabric scraps! Great for the environment and planet. I started using my scraps from quilting to make yardage for homemade teddy bears. now I can keep making yardage to make clothes. Fantastic idea!
It’s a joy to watch you create - it’s such an alive and fun process! ✨
I love this, thank you so much for watching!! 🥹💖
I was not expecting this to come together this well!!! It looks so good, especially with the top you paired it with.
Aw thank you so much!!
Can’t wait for more videos! Absolutely loved this one, so helpful and easy to follow along ❤
ahh you’re so cute!! that tip for the bias tape is amazing thank uuu!
I LOVE bias tape !!! Hehehe
Bless the algorithm for dropping you in my feed
Thank you for stopping by!!! Means so much
Such a rad dress!! So cool to see scraps used this way ❤
Thank you so much!
I found you on instagram and I am so happy to see you now on youtube because you are an amazing girl and artist💖 I wish u the best honey! 😘
Awhhh this is lovely & so kind. Appreciate you! Thanks for the encouragement.
Sooooo cute 😍😍😍 I love the way you use up all your scraps! Definitely going to use this technique for my scraps ❤️❤️❤️
It’s so satisfying to use those awkward sized scraps that just sit around !! Happy sewing !!!
I would love to hear more about your sewing machines 😊
oooooh yes i will definitely do a video on this soon!
Its so great to see you expanding into a new medium! If you're taking video ideas it would be really cool to see you do something about how you draft patterns and where you get all these beautiful fabrics
Thank you for your kindness!! I love this & I’ll add it to my video idea list💖
Would love to here more about the industrial & what the difference is❤️ so glad I can now watch your content on UA-cam aswell as instagram 🥰
Ooooh absolutely !! I’ll talk about it in my next video!! 💖 Thank you for watching!!
I just discovered you today! I watch a lot of sewing videos, so I guess the Algorithm Gods smiled on me. :-D I absolutely LOVE your style - I just really connect with the whimsy and patchwork.... the whole vibe. I'm a lifelong knitter, but I guess I'd call myself an "advanced beginner" sewist. (I've made about 10 dresses, 3 quilts, 5 or 6 handbags, an apron, and tons of mending for my boyfriend :-) You are inspiring me to create with even MORE whimsy than I already do. (I'm 50 - am I too old for whimsy?) Oh, and I'm currently working on a babydoll dress - inspired by a floral-print border print fabric of which I bought two yards on clearance for a whopping $4.
oh hey!!!! thanks for being here!! you sound like a natural creative !!! you're NEVER too old for whimsy!!!! That's what I reckon! Oh I love it, I hope it goes well!!
I've followed you on instagram for quite some time and I love everything you make, so I hit the subscribe button in seconds 😊I love love love that you're promoting upcycling too and cannot wait to see more!!
Ahhh this is so lovely!! Thank you so much for following on IG & now here too - appreciate you! Lots of Love!
So excited for this!
I would love a video dedicated to your JUKI🌸
I can do this!!!
This is such a fun idea!
WOW. that turned otu really cute. Great job!
Very creative idea!
Glad to see you on UA-cam!
heya! suuuper excited to see u here, when i first discovered your insta i was sad not to find you on youtube -- glad to see thats changed! loved this tutorial, super easy to follow along, except for how you made the bias tape and facing -- i am glad for the video's that you linked to and will def check them out, but i wouldve liked to see you go into just a liiiittle bit more detail, so that an intermediate sewer could sew along if they paid close enough attention to the video. I wouldn't want you to go into great detail, there are, indeed, seperate videos that already explain these things in detail, but a few more lingering shots on you making the bias tape wouldve been really helpful! right now its juuuust a bit too short for me to figure out what you were doing during those shots. anyway thats just a small thing, all and all im just super excited to see you here!
thank you so much for following along on Insta and now on UA-cam too! So kind. I did kind of speed through that part, I hope the linked videos help fill in the blanks. I'll try add more detail in future videos for sure. Thank you for the feedback!
Very cute idea, suits you well😊
I love the spirit of this dress.
Thank you!!!
love your work so much!! so excited for your videos 💗💗
Thank you for being here !!! 💖
Love this, and can't wait to see more from you!
Thank you so much for watching !!! 💖
Yayyyy loved this so much!! Such a gorgeous dress! Love the creativity 😍 would love to see something with ruffles next! Maybe even chiffon ✨🤍
Thank you Kimmy !!! Appreciate you !! Ooooh yes ruffles & chiffon coming right uppppp
¡Hola! desde Mexico , que hermoso trabajo, me gusta mucho la costura solo que a veces me causa mucha frustración. Seguire en la lucha, gracias por compartir, me has inspirado mucho. 💫
So excited you are on UA-cam now!! Congratulations! 🥳 Thank you for sharing your process of making beautiful dresses! I love your style and your creative spirit! And I’d love to hear more about your industrial machine! 💚
Ellen! Thank you so much. Thanks for taking the time to watch too! I will absolutely rave on about the industrial machine very soon ( you don’t have to ask me twice haha!!)
Omg im so excited to make this!!!
Happy sewing!
Turned out so lovely. I absolutely love it. ❤
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love this tutorial!!! When you were finishing it up with the sleeves I was curious how it would come out. It looks fantastic. If you have time to go into detail how you did it that would be amazing!!
Thank you so much for watching!! I will do my best to break it down in future videos
Carly!! I'm so excited that you're on UA-cam now too! This was such a lovely video and your dress turned out gorgeous! Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for watching friend!! Means a lot!!

Hehehe aw ! Thank you for watching. 💖
I’m new at sewing , I’m currently working on a dress made from a button up shirt for my toddler , I would love to see a video of your machines. Also the dress is fantastic! I like the hints of sparkle from the scrap sparkle fabric and the color of the organza makes the dress look like it’s glowing. Amazing work , can’t wait for more! 💕
That sounds amazing !! I hope it turns out great!! Also thank you so much 💖💖💖
You are very smart and very talented ❤
I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WOOT! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

AHHH SO STOKED CARLY!!! I'm making a patchwork skirt rn :))
That sounds AMAZING !!! Good luck !!
Woooow!!! That Dress!!! I love it!! Waiting for tutorials 🤩🙌
Thank you Karin! More to come, every Sunday!
Great idea. Love the dress. Really enjoyed watching 😀
Thank you Lynnie!
I cannot wait for more!! I always wondered how you did these dresses and you've made it look so easy (although time consuming). The end result is amazing!!
This is so lovely!! All good things take time, hopefully this way people can follow along & join in too!
Wahouuuu I’m so happy !!!! Congratulation for a New Channel ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yehawwww thank you so much friend !! Appreciate you. 💖
Hello! Can you make a tutorial in making long skirts? Kindly include the pattern also. Thank you much! I hope you'll notice. ✨💓
Hi Carly! Thank you for your video 🥰
I make pieces fabric also using this technique. The first time I made it using my wedding viel , over 120 years old. I love using embroidered vintage fabrics from table cloths, etc. I use whites, creams and pastels and the result is so lovely with the veil. I also place bits on top of the veil for even more added interest.
I love your dress, very cute. This material is also great for bags.
I'm working on a cute pinafore dress made from some thrifted gingham fabric! really excited that you have a UA-cam channel now!!
i LOVE this!! i hope it goes so well friend. happy sewing
Welcome to scrappy UA-cam :) lovely video, I'm so inspired by these kind of projects
heheh I love that!! Thank you
Hey Carly, this dress 👗 is lovely and so are you. You are such an inspiration to me in my sewing journey. Now I’m going to search for your video about the Juki industrial. My late grandmother had one and I was always in love with looking at it but now on UA-cam when I see people using the Juki, the sewing sounds and looks very smooth, it’s very satisfying to watch so I dream of getting one some day 😄 love you content ❤
aw thank you so much!!! The sound is DELIGHTFUL from the Juki - one of my favourite functions besides the actual sewing quality and speed!! Thanks for watching
Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️!!! Thank you for sharing this textile technique 😍😍😍 I'll definitely apply this on my next sewing project ✨✨✨
I love it !! Happy Sewing!!
What a lovely video! Echoing some of the other comments here, the quality is so good I wouldn't have thought it was your first! Keen to follow your creative adventures in this new way 💕
Thank you Emily
Love it how the glitter patches glimmer in the light. Really beautiful dress and what a wonderful idea in general. Oh, and you seem to be such a cool, creative, kind and cheerful person, I just watched a few of your videos and immediately subscribed!
OMG you are beyond adorable and so talented! I don't know why or how the UA-cam algorithm brought me to you, but I'm so glad it did. I absolutely want to try this method of making fabric. It would amazing for sofa throw pillows as well as the bucket hat and jacket you suggested. Thank you for the vid. I will be spending today (Sunday) finding other vids you've done and following you everywhere on social media. Proud to be a fellow Aussie!
Aw thank you so much!! Thank you for watching! It absolutely would be - it's such an interesting and eye catching textile! Take care & thank you for taking the time to comment
I have discovered your channel through this video and am so excited!!! I absolutely love finding fellow Aussie sewing lovers and am really wanting to get into making more garments for myself this year so cannot wait to watch and support your channel!! Would love to know how you go about making patterns (if you do) or what brands you like using? Best wishes, Jemma x
Ah that is so cool! Thank you for clicking & taking the time to watch and comment. I will definitely do a video on this in the future! Although I mainly use my own patterns, some of my favourites are from Etsy (Hubbading & VikiSews are great) and DIY Daisy has a great book too!
Lovely! I really would like to know how you made the jean top you wore in the beginning of your video.
Oooooh yes I might do a tutorial for this sometime!! It is such a special piece to me.
Great first video. Looking forward to many more. Good luck for all your future endeavors🤗👍🌼
Thank you so much Andrea!
Omg! You’re welcome! 🥹🍭🎪🎨
id really love a video on how you self draft your patterns because im in love with everything you make and im so inspired but when it comes to drafting a pattern its like i get hit in the head with a coconut and have no idea what im doing 😭 gorgeous work 🫶🫶🫶
Спасибо🌺
Carlie i love the process. Would be great for mini quilts. Wondering if top organza is cotton?
This video came up on my home page, so I thought I'd check it out, and I'm so glad I did! Had a look at your Insta as well; you are extremely talented, and I love how this dress turned out. Looking forward to seeing more content from you in the future. P.S You did so well with the filming and editing here!
That is so exciting! Thank you stopping by & taking the time to comment too. It means a lot! Thanks again & sending lots of love.
@@fromcarlyb De nada! I'm excited to see your channel grow; lots of love to you as well!
I really like the outfit you are wearing in this video. Did you make it?
Please do tell us all about your Juki. It is MY DREAM MACHINE as well! How much was it? Where did you buy? Did you have o set it up? I am thinking of getting a used one.
Great idea! Did you use silk organza? I would think that Poly would melt under the iron
I wonder if you were to use a type of interfacing, like a pf44, instead of the cotton back, to make it not as heavy 🤔 but I like how it has that corset effect to it
I love this idea!! I'll have to give it a go!
This is genius!! What method is this called, if it has a name?
Ooh I have no idea!! I guess it's like a scrap sandwhich!!
Congratulations on making your first youtube video. I hope it won't be your last! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽P.S. A washable fabric glue stick might be really helpful when trying to place the various scraps instead of pins.
It certainly won't! There will be new videos every week. Also that is such a great idea, i love it!
What kind of material is the sheer outter fabric?
I used a sparkling organza but any sheer & lightweight fabric would work great. A lace or chiffon would be cool too!
@@fromcarlyb Thank you!
Ooh glad I came across your Chanel I think you will give me a lot of inspiration for my daughter, she has a quirky style too and loves sustainable clothing 😊 hope to see more 😊
That is so cool! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Where to get the pattern?
This pattern is self drafted but hopefully the video helps with the pattern making process a little bit!
In reality, you made a reversible dress, right?
The neckhole facing would show if she reversed it, but if instead of that she'd finished that and the bottom hem with bias tape as well, the dress would then be reversible, yes.
Si no es en español no me interesa
It's ugly.
You should've dyed it instead of putting that sheer fabric on top then it might have a chance.
Okay! Thanks for sharing that!
Hello! Can you make a tutorial in making long skirts? Kindly include the pattern also. Thank you much! I hope you'll notice. ✨💓
