  • So bittersweet seeing this series come to an end. Kathie truly is my real life fairy godmother. I'm cherishing this dress forever because it was made with so much love! I hope you enjoyed watching and get to experience making your own special dress one day--just make sure to finish your dress 1 month before instead of working on it the month before like me lol. #weddingdress #handmade #coolirpa

    Yes - any tips or tricks Kathie wants to share would make a great video or segment to a video! You can tell that she's a wonderful & talented woman. Love the added button detail on the back! Your dress is so stunning! Congratulations on everything!💖

    • @dashaalbert1228

      Or even a mini series!

    • @hopegold883
      @hopegold883 2 роки тому +7

      Yes! The zipper! I also like science and math, and puzzle videos. And sewing in an invisible zipper ranks right up there with the mysteries of reconciling relativity and quantum mechanics.

  • @aksez2u
    @aksez2u 2 роки тому +146

    A whole series of Kathie and April sewing tips would be most welcome! (especially zipper installation)

  • @bobthesquirrel666

    @heywhitneyragan 2 роки тому +89

    Thank you for sharing this process with us, April! And Kathie too! She's such a gem and her teaching style reminds me of my late grandmother (also a talented seamstress). Congrats on your big day and can't wait to see the final result with all of the finishing touches!

    Its awesome that you included Kathie in making this gorgeous dress... One thing I've learned over the last few years of sewing is ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS! Amazing job ladies👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    Your dress is absolutely gorgeous! What a nice time you had with Kathie....who is truly talented. Would love to see the two of you do technique videos, yet you did show some in this video. Can't wait to see the reception video reveal.

  • @15430Eve
    @15430Eve 2 роки тому +1

    I would suggest using a press cloth always! Just a piece of cotton between iron and garment, never know what might accidentally have been burned or melted onto the iron that you could accidentally transfer to your pristine white gown

  • @tahvishhernandez2084
    @tahvishhernandez2084 2 роки тому +2

  • @deannacesar5595
    @deannacesar5595 2 роки тому +1

    Quick tip- Next time you sew appliqués to mesh (or any translucent fabric) sew it from the opposite side, much smoother without getting caught on pins and beads.

    I sew everything by hand. I have two sewing machines, but I'm more comfortable doing it by hand. I've sewn a king size quilt together by hand.
