When I first saw that fabric with the pearls, I thought it would be a nightmare to sew. But you just worked around them and the dress is just lovely. Well done and such a thoughtful gift for your sister!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Aw, thank you so much! I was a little nervous about the fabric as well, but it turned out to not be as difficult as I expected!

I am so happy to see you post another video! I’ve been watching for it and waiting. You make everything look so easy when you are selling. I’m a little confused, where do I find your Vlog of London?

[@LaurenJohnson]

Aw, thank you so much Margaret! I'm so happy to be back-- on summer break from teaching too, so I'll be here a lot more often! The London vlog should be up next week! When I filmed this I thought I'd already have it up, but switched the order. Thanks so much for watching!

[@lauratenreiro]

So beautiful! Lauren the dress you are wearing at the graduation was made by you? It is so lovely!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Laura, mine was actually store bought from Hillhouse- the only thing I had in school colors!

[@PatMcFadyenGrowingGradeByGrade]

What a great job, Lauren, and a beautiful dress! So, did you adjust the seam allowances by cutting them larger to account for the French seam or does it not affect that? Thank you!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Pat! I didn't change the seam allowance, but typically just divide the given seam allowance in half, so if it's a 1/2 inch seam allowance, I would sew two 1/4 inch seams to create the French seam. Thank you for watching!
