Wow I swear every project of yours is getting better and better! Circle skirt was definitely the right choice (vs. straight skirt) for the twirly and poufy shape. I admire your patience in working with all those layers of tulle!
I loveeee how you show your "Mistakes" and share what you learned along the way! It's so refreshing to see that someone I look up to so as has their moments too and are not always "perfect" and that you're still learning too and it's so helpful to have the extra tipsl! I love how this one turned out and those candy hearts in the background are the cutest!
I loveeeee how it turned out! Sis you look snatched in that dress! Also props to you for showing how messy sewing can be! It was breath of fresh air when I saw your set up with all your tools surrounding you! When I usually watch sewing TH-camrs I legit only ever see like these clean shots on every step! Yet whenever I sew, gurl it’s a mess haha so after a while I got a bit stressed about it! Love the video! Keep up the amazing work!! ❤️🔥💕👌🏼
Joe Maldon what kind of things do you sew? I haven’t met many male sewer yet so I’m always open to meeting new people with my interests
joshua martinez Hi! I sew all types of things! Whether they’re alterations, custom clothing, to accessories! I also LOVE embellishing! I have a few videos on Pokémon embroidery! I noticed your pikachu profile pic! Hope you check my content out! I have many interests outside of sewing so Im planning to incorporate them with sewing ! Kinda like the pokemon embroideries where my love for gaming meets my addiction to sewing! I’m really grateful for the sub! Thank you 😊
I have always subscribed to the thought that a too clean sewing/craft room means one of two things:
#1. NOTHING is going on in that room sweetheart, so stop pretending you're "crafty" or "I sew ALL my clothes". Your numbers up. OR
#2. The sign of a sick mind,
(😂 j/k~sort of).
I sewed for about 40 years.
My sewing room was always what I called "organized chaos"!
It looked a nightmare but I knew where everything was so I'd tell anyone who asked how I found anything or rolled their eyes at the mess to "shut it"! My girls had the BEST prom or dance dresses and clothing that was entirely unique that no one could copy. I was a for real "hippie" in the early '70s and I sewed all my clothing too.
Listen, your process is your process. Please don't ever let a person or video make you feel insecure in your talent.
It's obvious you're passionate about this. And passion, whether in love or life, can get messy. So make that mess. Have stuff everywhere if you must.
It's what you produce from that chaos that matters.
Good luck Sweety. I hope you sew yourself into a coma! 💖 💖 💖

rhijulbec1 thank you so much for sharing your amazing memories, it’s always fascinating to hear stories of another person’s sewing experiences throughout their lives especially from a decade as revolutionary as the 70’s 💕 Im truly starting to trust and not overthinking my sewing process. I’m so thankful for your kind words ! They are both reassuring and inspiring ! thank you! 💕💝

Go mad! Be bold! Be creative!
Even if it's just for you. 💖 💖 💖
I absolutely love seeing someone as keen as you are.
☺ Hold that needle and thread high! ☺
And I'm humbled by your comment. Thank you.

The dress came out great! also love how you recreated the getting ready/opening scene - iconic. Susie Q and wish upon a star were my go to disney channel movies as a kid!
Never heard of that movie (I guess it looks like the "Pretty in pink" kind of movie) but I love the dress and I thank you for your tutorial, my daughter will love it!
Oh... I love this!!!
The dress is lovely and pretty close to the one from the movie.
I also love how you re-enacted the intro scene from movie.
I like how you always say "hope you can learn from my mistakes". That makes me want to just be brave and try even more. Love this DIY. You're a lovely genius.
I love that someone else loves this movie as much as I did! The dress came out beautifully! I love how you even recreated the opening scene!
That was a complicated project. Great job April.
I loved the dramatic ending!
I love that movie! I remember thinking, "omg the pink ranger is in this movie." Haha. Great job April. It came out beautiful.
I am so happy about this video. Not that I can sew the dress, but the fact that others know the movie Susie Q makes me happy. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing with us.
This is a fabulous creation! I’m a self- taught -home - sewer and your videos are not only really entertaining but also really useful and informative. I’m so glad I found your channel!
This is such a throw back, makes me want to watch it now to
Omg😍 i have prom soon and i struggled for weeks because i wanted to sew my dress by myself. I even have a similar pattern for the top part and this video helped me so much!
Reminds me of the movie Pretty in Pink💕
My favorite movie 💕💕
OMG April you should so create a dress from that movie!!
That is exactly why I click this video for.
This was so cool! I'm glad Susie Q is getting some recognition and love, it was a great movie from my childhood. Also, that dress turned out great and you look lovely in it. Keep up the great work!
Good golly Miss Molly, what a cute dress!! I cant imagine seeing all that tulle.
Omg! Sooo cute. One day I will be as good at sewing as you are. I currently prefer to work on simpler projects because get put off if I make a mistake. This looks fantastic!
keep practicing and push through the mistakes
Used to watched that movie all the time as a kid. Brings back a lot of memories. I love how the dress turned out. I’m inspired by this tutorial. I’ll have to try it out for Halloween
OMG IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO REMEMBERED THIS MOVIE! You nailed the scene and the look!!
AMAZING! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers this incredible film! Classic.
I swear to god whenever I bring up Susie Q NO ONE remembers it. I know I’m a year late to this video, but I feel so validated in my love for this movie, now.
Are you me??? Until I found the movie to watch online about a year ago, I was starting to think I dreamed the whole thing! I swear if one more person asked me if I meant Curly Sue... I'm pretty sure I've never even seen Curly Sue.
Your instructions on the bodice were so clear! I’ve watched like 20 tutorials on making corsets and none of them made sense but yours was perfect
I just watched your tutorial and the dress turned out very lovely😍I want to sew a dress for ballroom dancing for myself and this is a really good inspiration😊❤
such a cute recreation! just don't get into any cars wearing that dress!
Lol and if u have to get in a car, dont cross any bridges!!
Awe you look amazing in the dress it’s fabulous 😁
Absolutely stunning! It amazes me how you work from scratch!
Loved this movie, and the dress too! Renact the scene was just brilliant, I was even looking forward the scene where she applies the lipstick multiple times lol. Thank you for sharing this
Months late to commenting... but Susie Q is the reason why I wore a bubblegum pink ballgown to my prom! I love that you recreated her dress!
You did a grt job girl, I really love this sort of dresses, I also want to wear one but I'm scared all the time what if it fell down, plz share some tips how we can make dresses without shoulders more secure.
Yessss, notification squad 🔔 love your videos ❤️ and that dress 😍😍
This is SOOO COOOL! I haven't seen this movie, but every time I come across an old prom dress like this in a vintage store, I always gasp at their prettiness, but they're all so tiny and fragile (probably why they survived, as special occasion clothes with sentimental value.) So omg. Seeing the sewing techniques, some of the same problems I've had with cosplay was cool, (SEWING TULLE. IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!) but it also just had me appreciating the sewing my mom did for me for special outfits, her dislike of zippers, etc. :) She sewed her own clothes in the 1960s, so seeing a vintage prom dress being made by hand is so beautiful and encouraging for me to get back to the machine.
I wanted to look like Susie Q for my prom nearly 10 years ago! Love this!
I haven’t even watched it yet but I loved this movie when it came out early 90s nostalgia!! You rock!
Bless you, April, for bringing on so much nostalgia. I forgot how great Susie Q was
Oh I've been waiting for this!!!! So cute!!! Cant wait to try it for myself 😍😍 also your hair looks so cute like that!!!!
OMG I looooved this movie. I haven't thought about it in years. You did a fantastic job!
Love it! I also loved the movie, Susie Q. You did a great job! Wearing white sneakers like she switched into in the car later would have been good to wear with it, too.
I love your flip, which is what we called in my day.
I follow your channel since 2011. I'm so happy these tubechannell still here!! Go!Go! Go! Coolirpa!! Greatings from Argentina.
WOW! I am always amazed at your talent April! So talented. That dress is just darling!
Jenn
So cute! What a throwback haha. Loved this movie as a kid.
Too cute! That pink works great on you.
I absolutely loved that movie!!! So glad to see you doing her dress! 💕
I literally got chill all over brings be back to my all time fave Disney movie!!!
I want a dress like that now, oh my goodness, how beautiful!!!
I LOVE HOW YOU RECREATED HER Scene!!!! God yessss
Your recreation of the opening scene from the movie is so cute!
Omg, I thought no one else remembered Susie Q! It looks great 😊💕
I loved this movie!!! So excited to see a reference to it. It looks great!
That's SO PRETTY!!! I've never even heard of that movie. (i guess because we didn't have disney channel) But i ADORE the 50's. The style, the tv shows, the cars, the music, everything! I'll have to find that movie and watch it. Would love to make the dress too! Another great video!!
adrianna Well, i don't like the segregation or the hate against other races, but i have researched the era and have asked my grandparents about different things from that era. I have yet to find anything i don't like other than the dislike alot of people had for other races, especially blacks. I'm not the type to only like the surface of something. I research everything. The reason i only mentioned the more "popular" parts is because that is what most people will know and identify with.
I would never be able to make anything like this, but its so relaxing to watch your videos 👌🏻
Looks so cute, looks like my first prom dress I made. I'd do a 3 layer net top for the skirt. Don't hem till last and you can even off the bottom or add a tutu slip would have been a good a nice touch. Altogether, looks good, keep sewing
That montage of you getting ready was awesome!!
I used to loveeee this movie! I watched it so many times as a kid
Gosh i loved Susie Q when i was younger too! This brought back memories and your version is amazing
The dress is adorable
I found ur channel a few days ago and I’ve literally watched every thrift flip plus some made from scratch and other videos
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING US HOW TO SEW THIS KIND OF BODICE!!!
This was quite an undertaking with the many layers. Great work!! God Bless.
Wow I love this dress so so so much! You are a genius April!
I love how the dress turned out! Thank you for sharing🤗
This looks great! Amazing job finishing what looks like a pretty finciky project!
This dress came out really beautiful. April, great job.
You are amazing. If I had HALF the talent you have I would never buy clothes again
Wow! How did you know this movie popped back into my head today? So happy you made the dress!
you look like a princess great job
That was the second best thing I've seen you make. The first was a dress you turned into a two piece.
I have never seen that movie. I will have to look it up! You did a beautiful job with this.
Living for this!!! I’d wish they could release Susie Q.
Totally gonna go find susie q to watch again!! Thanks for the fond memories April!!! 😉😉😉
Oh my god, the camera work at the end was just phenomenal... film quality. Well done!
Yet another brilliant tutorial and a sweet outfit - love the little hat/fascinator; you really managed well considering your 'source material' was so fuzzy! You really rock the look.
Your hair is adorable! Love the dress
This dress turned out great!! You are so so talented. Love the little storyline at the end, this is an awesome video 😊
Too cute! Love the movie, love how the dress turned out!💖
i loooove that flipped up hairstyle
This is the BEST most helpful video I’ve actually ever watched! Well done, it turned out so good x
You look like a pink Barbie doll! You're so talented!! 😍
That is a beautiful dress, and pink suits you!
April, this dress is soooooo cute, what a lot of work but one of a kind, love it!!! Judy
Congratulation for your new studio i loved your new syle of filming 🎉you look like a fairy princess 😍
That is sooooo cute! Thanks for sharing this challenging sew!
You blow my mind with your talent!!! Great stuff!!!
Omg I love Susie Q. so much!!! It turned out so good! 😍😍😍
I 💖 making stuff from scratch also. Have used your videos, thanks for the inspiration. My nickname in school was Susie Q.
Yes!!! Back to your roots.
Awww the ending scenes are soooo cute!! I love it!
I love the pink dress its so pretty
I love this! I’ve made a few of these dresses before! If this video doesn’t get the views you want think of changing the title to something like “susie q” diy 1950s prom dress. I saw this because I subscribed to your fabulousness, but I’ve been searching for years for one of these videos and this is the very first one I’ve seen. I wonder if there are more hidden with random titles. I search making a 1950s prom dress, diy 1950s prom dress, diy gathered tulle prom dress! I hope this video gets tonnes of views! Great job
Something neat you could add to your videos is a text definition at the bottom of the screen when you use sewing terms like French seam. This dress is so pretty and I loved watching suzie q on the disney channel when I was little. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great production on this video April! Lovely dress too
I loved that movie growing up. Great video!
Wao that came out amazing you look so lovely I love it all and I love that what ever you put your mind and heart in it you make it happen,,thank you for showing us how to sew
this was so pretty!
Such a cute dress! And I really loved the ending!
You are beyond talented! I'm so inspired by you!
Well done! So cute!!!!
You are such a GREAT teacher!!!
