    I love how you finish your seams , how this pattern is accessible to every one , how there is minimal waist and that if you have no sewing machine, that you would be able to make it by hand. Relay enjoyed this. Thank you.

    I’m so glad I found you! I’ve been wanting an everyday linen dress for years. I can’t find anything my style in ready to wear anymore!
    I’m a quilter, but I made my own clothes in high school. I’m confident I can do this! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern. I’m probably your Mother’s age, or a bit older. She’s gorgeous in that color! Also, I love vintage sewing machines, so seeing yours was a treat for me. Thanks again!

    Well I just stumbled across your channel and after watching Video of making your mom a dress I’m inspired to try one for myself! I’ve been looking for linen things and they are either over the top too expensive or they are so cheaply made they aren’t worth buying.
    This will get me back into sewing after many years. Thank you so much for the free pattern and your video!!

    I’ve just found your Chanel. I really like it and the dress for your mother is beautiful. Such a great colour. I’m probably a bit older than your mum….I’m so interested in the fact that she is a farrier. Could you maybe get her to tell us about her work and even see her in action with a horse? Here in England, there a few female farriers. Thank you.

' you approach sewing is like my grand mother and friends of her generation, getting as much as possible from the fabric what is left will become either a quilt or a rug...and it is no nonsense and doesn't take days to do...love it. I did see your video of the v neck dress as well, my first video of yours... I want that one as well.

    Hi Ella, Just found your channel. I am sewing all weekend long and will be binge listening to your music and watching your sewing/life videos. Thank you for your simple yet comfortable designs made from one of my favorite fabrics. What model sewing machine are you using. It looks like a Singer but because of the zig zag ability it may be a Meister. I wondered if you could say. I have a zig zag attachment that I use on my Singer treadle machines.

    Hi Ella! I downloaded the pattern from the video where you were making your unbleached (?) linen dress. Is the pattern the same for the one you made for your mother, just a different size? I think that since I haven’t sewn clothes in a long time, I’m going to do plain seams first, wash it and then see if I need to make corrections before doing the finished seams. Sound feasible? Thank you for sharing! ❤️😎🐈‍⬛

    • @EllaHarp
      @EllaHarp  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep it's the same! I made a small for myself and a medium for my mom. If fit is of concern, I would probably pre wash then sew plain seams to test fit. Washing with plain seams has a tendency to make raw edges fray like mad and could cause a headache going to fix. Happy sewing to you!

    • @SuzanneWho
      @SuzanneWho 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@EllaHarp Thanks so much for getting back to me. I think if I made the same size as you it would work. I’m about the same weight but a little shorter! Maybe I should do a muslin version first. Can you tell I’m a little ADD. 😉
      Hope you’re having a good weekend 👍😎
