ok so fun fact the imperial system developed over time through artisans-it's a measuring system that makes sense when you need measurements that don't require perfect accuracy but do require the ability to be kept in the head, especially if one is illiterate (which most people were!!). 3 is the largest number most people can reliably hold in their heads. so imperial developed as a base-12 system, not base-10. 12 is easily divisible through simple fractions, and those units often divide into quarters because they follow the rule of 4 units of measurement=new measurement. take baking! 3 cups is 3 cups, but 4 cups is a quart. 3 quarts is 3 quarts, but 4 quarts is a gallon. and so on. this applies to inches too, which divide into 4 as the standard. it's fascinating stuff once you get into it, but anyway all this to say there's a historical reason why your brain prefers imperial!
@fromcarlyb I'm from America, and most of our wrapping paper has a 1 inch grid on the back! It's funny since you like to sew using imperial, but I prefer metric lol I hate fractions, give me decimals any day!
@@hildywaddington8708 oooh I'm gonna have to source some of this wondrous American wrapping paper. It makes so much sense, because you could then easily cut in straight lines! Hahaha how funny about the numerical systems.
Fellow Aussie sewist here and imperial measurements with a tiny drizzle of metric perfectly sums up how I measure things while sewing! I hardly ever use imperial in any other aspect of life, but my brain just vibes so much better with it when sewing?! 😂
I'm 68, and I read Anne of Green Gables when I was 13, in 1969. It was my favorite childhood book, along with The Boxcar Children, which I read when I was 6. Your dress and pinafore are darling, and very well made! 🧡
My very first "real" book I read on my own at age 7. My mum was so patient, giving me definitions of all the words I'd never seen before - eventually, she gave me a dictionary, which was a game-changer. What a lot I learned from Anne! Still adore her character.
The entire book series is something to invest time and money into, it's a thousand times better than the movies, I promise. Wait until you meet Anne's children! Such darlings. And when Marilla adopts Dora and Davy the twins, long after Anne has grown up and left home. Theres a part with Davy that I think of so often, with him checking the roots of his plants to see how much they've grown. Its hilarious. The books are so special and if you do decide to read the entire series, I would love to hear your thoughts on them in future sewing videos. This is where true Kindred Spirits lay.
I LOVE this. You have inspired me as a great grandma of 2, 8 year old girls, to make them a dress and pinafore and purchase the Anne of Green Gables book for each one. So fun. Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas.
That's so cute!! Please (at least eventually) get them all 8 books - I loved them growing up and I can't wait to read them to my future children :) I hope your great granddaughters love them as much as I did
I got to meet Megan Follows a few years ago, and let me tell you, I nearly wept with joy. She was the kindest, loveliest human, and MY Anne. I am so happy to see a TH-camr giving these amazing films some love.
I absolutely love Anne Of Green Gables too! I have watched the 1985 trilogy thousands of times during my childhood and now as an adult. Anne just makes my heart ache with happiness. I am currently re reading the books and Lucy Maud Montgomery’s descriptive writing is absolutely beautiful. I’m from British Columbia, Canada, and wish to visit Prince Edward Island one day. One of my favourite quotes from her books is this…”It was November-the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pine land alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.” ♥️ I couldn’t think of a favourite scene because I love every single one haha!!
I love this!!! Fellow Anne aspirer here and I am absolutely devouring every drop of your content! I watched this last night after putting my two boys to sleep while working on a little sewing project - which deeply humbled me - but! so many valuable lessons learnt!
that down ward creasing is happening because the angle of the sleeve hole is too shallow for the arm scye/ armhole. its also fully up to you if its a problem or not! getting rid of the excess fabric wont always reduce mobility so if i can do it ill try and get rid of any excess draping but some times i just dont feel like it. just because you know the cause of a a certain draping on the body, doesnt mean ur obligated to fix it
I noticed when you started cutting your skirt out, there’s a better way of cutting that I could let you know. After you get your fabric folded, don’t hold the scissors on top the way you did. You left a curly edge on the bottom. Hold your scissors sideways so that they are truly at the spot where the two sides come together. Put a little slight pressure there as you push the scissors through, and you will end up with two flat sides that are perfectly cut in half. If your scissors are really sharp, doing it that way you don’t even need to open and close them, they will just slide through. Just a little tip that I have learned that makes my fabric lay flatter and need less ironing. You are doing very well with this, and I was quite impressed with your French seams and your finishing of that slit. You go girl.
You are just so adorable. I love the way you work through what you are going to do. I am a little old woman who still loves to sew as much now as I did when I first learned 70 years ago. I also like that you iron what you are making. So many people choose not to. It makes an immense difference in your garments. Keep doing a great job. You are delightful to watch. Thank you.
I just started my first foray into sewing and had to come watch this after your Anne reference in your "stop brainrot" video haha. I didn't even know there was a movie trilogy, but I read (and reread) the whole 8 book shebang as a kid. My favorite children's series for sure. The final work looks amazing! Love all the detail with the finish and definitely inspired me to dive deeper into making my own clothes.
I’m a grandmother and we watched and fell in love with the movies when my daughter was a pre-teen. I have always loved those movies, and it’s impossible to pick out one favorite scene. And I understand you wishing the characters were real. There are so many books I have read that I wish the characters were real because they were such like-able people that I could imagine having them for a friend. I love all your sewing projects- this one was totally spot-on. My oldest granddaughter is your age… you are also a girl after my own heart. I learned to sew at age 16 and I’m still sewing.
Thank you for giving and showing the steps to french seam pockets. I tried doing this on a nightgown and couldn't figure out why it didn't work. It seems like it should be super simple. But my brain just wouldn't grasp it. 😂❤ This turned out really cute. And suits you perfectly. My favorite Anne movie is the first one. And my favorite scene is where Anne meets Marilla and discovers that she isn't wanted because she was a girl. It reminds me of when we were first fostering our son. Long story short, we had parakeets at the time. One of them died. And because of the circumstances surrounding my son being taken away from his mom, he thought that whenever there was a death, he would have to go back to the children's home. So when he found out the parakeet had died, he went to his room, packed up his Thomas and Friends trains (his favorite toys) and came and told us he was ready to go. Poor little guy.😢 That Anne scene breaks my heart every time.
I am so glad you get the chance to bring back some of that childlike whimsy through your creations!!! I kive your work and energy! Have a wonderful day Carly B❤
Your dress and apron are beautiful. I have never seen any of the films, I don’t have a television or computer, just a mobile phone - but I have read all the books and they are amazing. There are lots of other books by the same author and a lot of the characters are the same, but with different names - they are comforting to read and re-read! This is the first video of yours that I’ve ever seen, so I’m going to catch up with your back catalogue. Sending you a friendly wave from the north west of England 👋🏼 :-)
Love the tone on tone check you chose. Anne and most importantly...Marilla would approve! ♡ My VHS copies wore out from watching it so much as a kid...of course the book written by L.M. Montgomery is also timeless. I have listened to the audio book a few times while creating in the studio and dreaming of kindred spirits or contemplating sleeping up in a cherry tree.
i havent watched the movies from the 1980s yet but i did fall in love with anne from watching the netflix adaptation. i love how you designed the dress and how nice it came out! ive been wanting to get into sewing for awhile now (technically since childhood but i wasnt able to really use needles at the time) and this made me more eager to ask my grandmother to show me how to use her sewing machine more :) excellent work!
Stop. I just came from your patchwork quilt making video and LOVED IT! And now Anne of Green Gables, I absolutely adore her. Glad I found you at the beginning of my sewing journey, I love to see what you create and you really make me excited :)
My obscure faves are the two youtube webseries "Green Gables Fables" and "Project Green Gables." They invision the characters in modern day and do a really good job. My fave scene is when Anne gets the puff sleeve dress, I feel like thats when she knows she is truly a part of the family. The dress turned out wonderful!
I’ve been really enjoying putting in pockets that are also sewed into the waste band! They hold weight much better because of the extra support from the waste band and are just as easy to sew in 😊 they also sit flatter under the dress / skirt ❤
❤❤❤ it’s been a long time since I’ve watched Anne of Green Gables. But when I heard you say “bosom friend” ah, my heart. I did love her once. I think my favorite that stayed with me was Anne floating down the river like lady shallott. I always did love her interactions with Gilbert.
You did such a great job! I think you would totally kick a vest/skirt/undershirt combo's butt! I hope you like the project you made, and that you have the most wonderful rest of your week. 😊
I absolutely love Anne of green gables. And only the 1985 version! I got the trilogy under my pillow from the tooth fairy as a kid and I still have them. I loved Anne so much my grandma took me to PEI and we went to the house that inspired it. I have too many favorite scenes but from the first movie maybe it’s when Anne apologizes to Rachel but doesn’t really apologize. This dress is so cute and very Anne. This makes me need to make a gingham dress and pinafore
Wow -- what a twist of fate! I just downloaded the Anne of GG movie because I saw the play in PEI this summer and am in an Anne deep dive since the spring. I'm from a neighbouring province and never got into Anne until I had my daughter. My worlds are colliding in the best way here!!
There's a PLAY!!! I would love to see it live :') Hehehe I hope you enjoy your Anne deep dive. Such a beautiful world in Green Gables with inspiring & heartwarming characters.
I love it! I have has several Anne/Anne inspired outfits including a couple (made from the same pattern but in different sizes) similar to this one. I think my fav movie is the first one but I love them all. The books are even better.
Oh Carly! You had me in tears when you were talking about the movies! Those are such a huge part of my childhood and who I am as a person! Your dress and pinafore are perfect! (If you ever come to Canada and plan on visiting Green Gables, you must put that dress/pinafore in your baggage! ❤)
Beautiful, Carly! The opening at the back is such a lovely detail, im glad you decided to keep it open 😃 I have sweet memories of watching Anne of Green Gables at my Nana's house 🥰
I read all of the books, and watched these movies over and over and over in high school (aka 1985). I’m always delighted to discover other kindred spirits in the world!
FYI: the Internet Archive USED to provide access to a ton of those sewing textbooks. Sadly, they are in copyright litigation with publishing corporations, and over 500,000 books are no longer available.... nearly all of the sewing textbooks can no longer be read.
I never thought about doing pockets like this before!! I always made the pocket pouch and then tried to awkwardly inset it into an opening in the side seam. Genius!!!
@@claudiakneutgen4485 omg you're kidding. I could probably learn a lot from following actual patterns and not trying to copy existing garments... thanks!
I love the finished outfit! I like Anne's clothes but I must admit I absolutely love Diana's clothes, I plan to sew some of both Anne's and Diana's outfits.
Me find the two biggest issue with printed fabric is the white back get visable on skirts and stuff when you move around or sit down. And the print is rarely on grid so can't use the lines on the fabric don't match whatever you do and make it look crocked something if go on grid on fabric or have the pieces cut out slightly off grid.
This is literally what thought of the moment I finished the Anne of Green Gables Trilogy! So thankful I'm not the only one. I had no idea where to start. Might you be able to share your Anne of Green Gables Project board with us? If not, I totally understand.
These came out sooo good! I think something about your sleeve cap curves might have needed to be adjusted (not sure if that’s what you did in the end) but it’s always a guessing game for me. Sleeves are tricky, yours came out great though!
I’m curious if you’ve ever seen Road to Avonlea? It’s set in the some town a while after Anne of Green Gables, with some familiar characters. It’s got some beautiful outfits!
absolutely love your creation, this video, and AOGG. my fave is the first movie, the fishing for lake trout scene! (though there are so many good ones, it's really hard to choose)
I loved Anne of Green Gables enough that I named my first child from it. I have a Marylla (but people liked to add letters when they pronounce it) I loved Coleen Duherst as Marilla which is why I used that name.
IDK about Australians using Imperial, but I'm from the United States, and I use the metric system when millimeters work better than fractions of inches Love Ann Of Green Gables. I remember reading her books when I was little. There was a line about wishing her red hair would darken when she got older, and I had the same wish...and I was so glad when it came true. She was such a great character for me to read
Love making french seams. Thanks for all the pocket tips. I have problems with sleeves all the time. After years of sewing you would think i can do them perfect now ..not. ugh. Anne with an E as well.
The screenshots tickle some very old hidden memory in my brain.... I think I've watched at least the first movie when I was very little?? But I can't remember properly D: This way or another, I love your energy/your enthusiasm!! I really love working beside your videos :D
To fix your sleeve, unpick just the cap of the armscye., leaving the underarm. Allow the sleeve to droop on your arm until the diangle creases lessen. Measure how much you need to add to the cap and alter your pattern as required.
if you do another video based on the more recent show this time, though it’s not really one you can easily modernise, anne’s green/blue dress at the very end of anne with an e is my absolute favourite! though with period clothing you kinda need to have the right under layers for it to look how it’s supposed to, which adds another layer of difficulty in translating it to a modern interpretation that will still register as what it’s based on
@@fromcarlyb I am sure you hear it all the time... but you are such an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT. Every time your videos come across my feed, they bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. But seriously, same girl... someday, I'll run away to Prince Edward Island and trek across the fields with a bosom friend.
@@AmandaJAlonso whaaaat this is so nice of you to say. :') i'm so glad they can bring a little sparkle to the day! hahahah YES PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND IS CALLING!!!!!!!!
Whoa!! Everything turned out so good!!! I feel like you could use the same dress pattern you made to do a Kiki's Delivery Service dress too! Ive loved both of these movies since i was a kid ❤️ i wish i had the space to make these myself! I might have to do something about that lol

ohhh thank you for watching !!!! good luck with your sewing
Love the pinnafore!
We must be kindred spirits because this was everything! Anne and sewing, too much! TFS
As a Canadian, I find the 1985 Anne the quintessential Anne of Green Gables ❤❤❤
As a fellow Canadian, I agree wholeheartedly with you! ❤❤❤
that down ward creasing is happening because the angle of the sleeve hole is too shallow for the arm scye/ armhole. its also fully up to you if its a problem or not! getting rid of the excess fabric wont always reduce mobility so if i can do it ill try and get rid of any excess draping but some times i just dont feel like it.
just because you know the cause of a a certain draping on the body, doesnt mean ur obligated to fix it

You are doing very well with this, and I was quite impressed with your French seams and your finishing of that slit. You go girl.

Meeee tooo! I love Anne! Especially with being red-haired and teased about it!
Awww it must have been so comforting to have a fictional red haired friend!! She refused to cop any of that bullying!!!
Your timing is perfect. I’m sitting in PEI looking at the water as I watch this video.

I found an apple tree to climb but being over 50 it is maybe not a good idea! Love your videos.
maybe it's a WONDERFUL idea!!!!!
I only watched Anne with an E as an adult and it made me cry, laugh, and feel many more emotions. So it’s my favorite!
I am so glad you get the chance to bring back some of that childlike whimsy through your creations!!! I kive your work and energy! Have a wonderful day Carly B❤
Thank you so much for watching!! Aw. You have a wonderful day too mate!

Great dress!
Both pieces are fabulous!! I love your focus on nice finishings - it inspires me to put in the extra time to make quality garments.
I wanna kind and adventurous like Anne Shirley too
I am old and in the UK so it’s mostly imperial with a metric filling and some metric cherries on top xx
1985 Anne of Green Gables...
Love your work. I too sew in imperial with a touch of metric

I absolutely love Anne of green gables. And only the 1985 version! I got the trilogy under my pillow from the tooth fairy as a kid and I still have them. I loved Anne so much my grandma took me to PEI and we went to the house that inspired it.
I have too many favorite scenes but from the first movie maybe it’s when Anne apologizes to Rachel but doesn’t really apologize.
This dress is so cute and very Anne. This makes me need to make a gingham dress and pinafore
Wow -- what a twist of fate! I just downloaded the Anne of GG movie because I saw the play in PEI this summer and am in an Anne deep dive since the spring. I'm from a neighbouring province and never got into Anne until I had my daughter. My worlds are colliding in the best way here!!
There's a PLAY!!! I would love to see it live :') Hehehe I hope you enjoy your Anne deep dive. Such a beautiful world in Green Gables with inspiring & heartwarming characters.
@@fromcarlybyes! It's a 3h long musical that's been on every summer since the 70s. It's always at the Confederation arts center in Charlottetown!
I love the very "in the moment" feeling when you are cutting the fabric in the beginning. It gives Anne ❤️
Late to the party but wonderfully done - you definitely hit the goal of Anne-inspired! And you won’t regret the effort of those seams!
CARLY that pinafore is EVERYTHING! I want one so badly! Beautiful job!
Wow!!!! Sooooo beautiful! You inspired me to make something similar too. I also love Mrs. Stacy's looks so much
I have that patternmaking book!! I haven't figured out how to use it really, but I love looking through it.
Both the dress and pinafore are so perfect. Im in love with all your videos, projects and personality ❤
Beautiful! You are a fantastic seamstress! Thanks for sharing.
I'd really like the sleeve drafting tutorial.
You certainly did the Anne character proud.
My favorite movie is the first one, but honestly the books are so much better somehow
i have to read to books!!!!!
I love it! I have has several Anne/Anne inspired outfits including a couple (made from the same pattern but in different sizes) similar to this one. I think my fav movie is the first one but I love them all. The books are even better.
I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables - this was so fun!
Loved these books!!! And the shows are always fun!
I a;m in love with the dress and pinafore. It looks cool with those boots too.
the dress!!!!!! omg i need to make myself one right this moment!!!!
Oh Carly! You had me in tears when you were talking about the movies! Those are such a huge part of my childhood and who I am as a person! Your dress and pinafore are perfect!

I ordered the dvd full collection of A of GG recently. Haven’t seen it for years. Love the scene where she visits Gil when he’s ill.
Marilla would 100% use the selvedge!
I love love love how you incorporated the selvage into the hem facing on the dress!! Gorgeous and inspiring and joyful as always Carly 🥲😍💜✨
Proper Anne of Green Gables vibes, yes please.
So adorable!!! ❤❤❤
ive been learning to weave because i only seem to find printed fabrics in store near me
ah this turned out so good and cute!! I love it
I never thought about doing pockets like this before!! I always made the pocket pouch and then tried to awkwardly inset it into an opening in the side seam. Genius!!!
😂 she did it quite normal as you will find it in each pattern with side pockets. Thats the way to do it
@@claudiakneutgen4485 omg you're kidding. I could probably learn a lot from following actual patterns and not trying to copy existing garments... thanks!
AHH IT CAME OUT PERFECT :) BRAVO
I love the finished outfit! I like Anne's clothes but I must admit I absolutely love Diana's clothes, I plan to sew some of both Anne's and Diana's outfits.
Me find the two biggest issue with printed fabric is the white back get visable on skirts and stuff when you move around or sit down. And the print is rarely on grid so can't use the lines on the fabric don't match whatever you do and make it look crocked something if go on grid on fabric or have the pieces cut out slightly off grid.
This is literally what thought of the moment I finished the Anne of Green Gables Trilogy! So thankful I'm not the only one. I had no idea where to start. Might you be able to share your Anne of Green Gables Project board with us? If not, I totally understand.
im sorry but SLEEVES IN FRENCH SEAM?????? ARE YOU CRAZY? chapeau girl, chapeau
I only watched the first movie, but I read all 8 books :) I adored them growing up and I now really want to go and reread them
These came out sooo good! I think something about your sleeve cap curves might have needed to be adjusted (not sure if that’s what you did in the end) but it’s always a guessing game for me. Sleeves are tricky, yours came out great though!
I’m curious if you’ve ever seen Road to Avonlea? It’s set in the some town a while after Anne of Green Gables, with some familiar characters. It’s got some beautiful outfits!
absolutely love your creation, this video, and AOGG. my fave is the first movie, the fishing for lake trout scene! (though there are so many good ones, it's really hard to choose)
I love it! For tis halloween, I'm doing a Marilla inspired outfit.
I loved Anne of Green Gables enough that I named my first child from it. I have a Marylla (but people liked to add letters when they pronounce it) I loved Coleen Duherst as Marilla which is why I used that name.
I really love this dress:)
IDK about Australians using Imperial, but I'm from the United States, and I use the metric system when millimeters work better than fractions of inches
Love Ann Of Green Gables. I remember reading her books when I was little. There was a line about wishing her red hair would darken when she got older, and I had the same wish...and I was so glad when it came true. She was such a great character for me to read
Love making french seams. Thanks for all the pocket tips. I have problems with sleeves all the time. After years of sewing you would think i can do them perfect now ..not. ugh. Anne with an E as well.
The screenshots tickle some very old hidden memory in my brain.... I think I've watched at least the first movie when I was very little?? But I can't remember properly D: This way or another, I love your energy/your enthusiasm!! I really love working beside your videos :D
The title of this video is so relatable
To fix your sleeve, unpick just the cap of the armscye., leaving the underarm. Allow the sleeve to droop on your arm until the diangle creases lessen. Measure how much you need to add to the cap and alter your pattern as required.
if you do another video based on the more recent show this time, though it’s not really one you can easily modernise, anne’s green/blue dress at the very end of anne with an e is my absolute favourite! though with period clothing you kinda need to have the right under layers for it to look how it’s supposed to, which adds another layer of difficulty in translating it to a modern interpretation that will still register as what it’s based on
Oh dear! Me too!
hiiiiii!!!
@@fromcarlyb I am sure you hear it all the time... but you are such an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT. Every time your videos come across my feed, they bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. But seriously, same girl... someday, I'll run away to Prince Edward Island and trek across the fields with a bosom friend.
@@AmandaJAlonso whaaaat this is so nice of you to say. :') i'm so glad they can bring a little sparkle to the day! hahahah YES PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND IS CALLING!!!!!!!!
Whoa!! Everything turned out so good!!! I feel like you could use the same dress pattern you made to do a Kiki's Delivery Service dress too! Ive loved both of these movies since i was a kid ❤️ i wish i had the space to make these myself! I might have to do something about that lol
Thank you for explaining things,im re learning sewing again so your vids have been super helpful 🫶🏻💜 with love from a fellow Aussie
Gilbert saving Ann as she enacted the Lady of the Lake. Ann Sherly what are you doing? Such a lovely dress and pinafore.
