When life gives you lemons, sew them into a dress! Looks really cute on you.
Hi Sue! 👋 Yep! You are right! Make a dress out of lemons 😆 🤣 Thanks for watching!
This is such a beautiful dress! You look beautiful in it too! I absolutely love the fabric and the big lemons!! I love the neckline on this dress is amazing! I have thus pattern and this is definitely on my list to sew now. That's so strange about the fabric requirements but definitely not unheard of! Thank you for the heads-up because sometimes I won't even buy a pattern if I have to use too much fabric. Thank you for sharing and love the pictures!
Hey Tee! Thanks for watching. Yes I thought so too. Sometimes they estimate too high and/or too low. 😆 I would love to see you in a dress like this!
that lemon print is so lovely! it's great as a maxi dress.
Hi Sara! Thanks so much! I think so too.
This video was so helpful! I’ve been waiting to cut mine because my fabric was only 4 yards. I was also concerned and my full bust. Yours came out beautifully. I think I’ll make it without the belt and just wear a leather belt. Thank you! Well done!
You’re welcome Sheree. It will be so easy to do an FBA or go up a size. The pattern is semi-loose fitting. I’m so glad this review was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful dress! It really looks lovely on you! Thanks for the review.👏
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! I really enjoyed making this video.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Love the dress 👗
Thank you Peaches! ☺️
Hi, Tea. Your dress is so pretty. It’s great that you were able to get the dress cut out with the shorter amount of fabric. Such a great idea to cut the skirt pieces on the fold. That was brilliant.
Why thank you! That's a lovely compliment! I always enjoy your hacks. So coming from you that's an awesome compliment! 😁
Aww. You are so sweet. You deserve it, and thank you so much! Made me smile. :)
You look so pretty in this dress. I love this floral print and the unique neckline. Thanks for the heads up about the fabric requirements. Cutting the skirt pieces on the fold was a great idea for this large-scale print. It really makes the fabric shine!😊
Hey Crystal! Yea that skirt requirement is a bit much. I just knew I could get a dress with almost 4 yards of fabric if I used my on fabric layout. Love this print too.
Thank you for such a thoughtful pattern review.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Ty so much for the review of this pattern as it's one of my favorite ones but I'm a beginner so I was dreadful of even starting it...I'll probably warm up towards in awhile
Hi Roya! Thanks for watching. It’s a pretty straight forward pattern, and the instructions are good. If you have questions when making it let me know and I’ll see if I can help you. Blessings!
@@crumpetsteaandsewing awww you're too sweet, tysm for the encouragement and yes if I come across any questions I'll know who to ask, blessings to you as well! 🥰
Beautiful!!! Love the dress!! And fabric is so cute
Hi Debbie! Thank you! I know this is a spring/summer fabric. But I couldn't pass up an opportunity to make something with this gorgeous lemon print. 😁
The dress looks great on you. Love the fabric.
Thank you Denise! I excited to wear this one next spring!
Thanks for the review! I almost never use the amount of fabric suggested on patterns, and it makes me think that I missed pieces or did it wrong, lol. Maybe I’m just more efficient when I lay it out? IDK. lol.
Glad it was helpful!
This dress looks stunning on you! I bought the pattern recently and now that I see your, I can’t wait to make it.
Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. I hope you enjoy the pattern as much as I do!
Tea...this dress looks beautiful on you!
Thank you!
Thumbs up! Looks great!
Thank you Donna! Much appreciated!
Thank you for your review! Have you ever done a video with your adjustments? I’m especially interested in your bicep adjustment.
👋 Sheryl! I did a bicep adjustment on this channel about two years ago. I guess it is time to update that. Thanks for mentioning this.
Very pretty dress. I too have trouble with sleeves due to my big biceps. I can never find a winter coat for this reason. They just scale up patterns which is not the way to do it, as not everything on a larger body increases by the same amount! I am a true pear shape so it never works for me.
I agree! I hate the scale up method. I’m a triangle, so everything on my lower half is much smaller than my busy, back and arms. It’s a pain. The only way I can avoid bicep adjustments is if I make patterns that have flutter, puff, or bishop sleeves. Even then, sometimes I still have to do a bicep adjustment on a bishop sleeve. It’s so frustrating.
This dress is so beautiful. Nice Make as usual!
Hi Debbie! Thanks! I love this dress. The pattern is pretty good. I would like to make a dress with a cotton sateen. That would be fun! Happy sewing! 😊

I am pretty good at sewing but working to be able to choose fabrics as well as you🤗
I love it, you look gorgeous.
Thank You! 😊
Such a beautiful fabric. Love what you did with it.
Thank you! It really is a beautiful fabric. I wish they had more of this.
Hi Tea, loved this video. Now I have to get this pattern and make this dress. It is gorgeous. Thank you very much!!!❤️❤️
Hi Ruth! That’s always good to hear. Thanks so much for watching!
This dress looked so good on you! Now I add another pattern to my collection. LOL! Love the fabric, it did this dress justice.
Hi Karen! Thank you! I agree! Fabric choice is everything!
I love that dress on you
Beautiful! I used this pattern for short sleeved knee-length version. I steered away from the maxi length because of the yardage requirement/suggestion. When you cut pieces, did you use their layout form or cut pieces as you saw fit?
And you may have answered my question further in your vlog. Thanks!
Hi Charina! I cut my skirt pieces on fold and I didn’t follow their layout. I want to make the knee length version as well. Thanks for watching.
@@crumpetsteaandsewing thanks for responding so quickly! Looking forward to upcoming!
This dress looks gorgeous on you. I have the pattern as well, you mentioned that you cut the skirt on the fold, which I would like to copy. I am a beginner , may I ask do you fold the skirt pattern in half and than cut on fold. But then you only have one cut and you needed two each for the back and front. I can't wrap my head around it, could you explain that a little more please? Apologies for this question, but I really love the dress especially on you. Many Thanks
Hi Iwi! This is a good question! I’m so glad you asked this before cutting into your fabric. I should have been more clear. My apologies! In sewing “cutting on the fold” is referred to as placing your pattern pieces on the folded side of your fabric. When you purchase your fabric from the store most likely it will be on a bolt, and the fabric will already folded in half. One side will be folded, the other side will be the selvage, which is the edge of the fabric (usually marked by a copyright or label of some sort). Sometimes, pattern pieces need to be placed on that folded end of the fabric in order to avoid center seams. Other times, patterns need to be placed on the grain line (the length of the fabric which is horizontal). In my case, the pattern suggests to cut two pieces of fabric for the front skirt and two pieces of fabric for the back skirt on the grain line. Instead, I subtracted the seam allowance for both pattern pieces and placed the skirt pattern pieces on the folded edge of my fabric. I removed the seam allowance because I no longer needed it since I wasn’t sewing the two front pieces and the two back pieces together. So instead of 4 skirt panel pieces, I now had two skirt panel pieces, one for the front and one for the back. There are a few things you should know before doing this though. First, be sure you understand what you are doing and why you’re doing it. You can’t do this with any pattern. Second, look at the design of the pattern featured on the pattern’s cover. You may find that cutting two pieces instead of cutting on fold is a design feature that drew you to the pattern. Lastly, cutting two pieces instead of cutting on fold may be necessary for your closures like buttons or zippers. In this case you won’t be able to avoid cutting two pieces out without some major modifications. I hope this was helpful. If you need me to clarify anything I said here let me know. Thanks!
@@crumpetsteaandsewing I really appreciate your explanation in this very detail. I will definitely go now and hopefully tackle the pattern. Apologies again for such a beginner question. In my head I could not figure out why I now only have one piece instead of two and it would make the same with. Many thanks
Do you think the elastic may be removed and just gather the waist?
That's possible
@@crumpetsteaandsewing I really like that you placed the pattern on the fold and removed 5/8 inch. That was a pro move and I do that too sometimes. I have come a long way in my sewing journey too so to revisit this video and hear you say it is exciting for me. Yah willing, I am making this pattern soon. Also do not like the fact that this pattern is so fabric greedy and placing it on the fold appears to help with the amount needed.
How is the fabric sold, in yards or or 1/2 yard? I'm new to sewing.
The fabric in this video was sold by the yard (all fabric on Fabric Mart site is sold by the yard.)
@@crumpetsteaandsewing Thank you so much.
