I think she's improving but she's still not home yet. Fingers crossed she gets back home. I understand they think she should go into care. Much against her will. 😘
it probably doesn't Karen but I had some spare fabric and I wanted to try it out to see how it looked. it's turned 2 similar dresses into 2 slightly different ones. 😉👍😘
Thank you so much. I was interested in the site as soon as you showed it. But I never pictured the line drawing to make such a cute dress. I am going to look the site up. I hope it accommodates more than the bust, waist and hip measurements. I have not tried fitting yet.
Hi there. Their patterns are only a few dollars so not expensive like other pattern companies. In my opinion. It's worth a try. Test on cheap fabric so nothing lost. It never fails to please me. 👍😘
Great tutorial - it makes so much sense and you make it look easy. I like the dress before and after but I think some of the effect of the collar is lost in the busyness of the fabric’s pattern.
I totally agree about the loss of style because of the pattern. it was just that that was the only dress that I had spare fabric for. if there is a next one with frills it will be more plain and have wider frills that are the same width all the way down. 😉😘
Happy with the idea. If I do make it again it would be better on a less 'loud' pattern. And I'd prefer it to be wider and the same width all the way around. So I would work on achieving that. 👍😉😘
Wow you never fail to amaze me with your talents, I think you are so clever. I’ve got a sewist account and put my measurements in but never took it any further, perhaps I’ll go and take another look it just my fire up some enthusiasm. Love your dresses Micheline. Hugs x
Go for something quick like a top first Hazel. Then you'll be able to see if the measurements work for you without wasting too much time and effort. 😉😘
I’ve had a few patterns from Lekala after you mentioned them previously & found them good. I looked at sewist site & one of the designers was previously with Lekala. Do you think this site is better & has better options? Just had a quick look & think I might try something simple like a top first. Your tutorials are great & your dress with & without looks super. Thank you Micheline.❤
Hi Alison They are both the same companies, the sewist company allows you to create your own style either through the process that I've explained or for some people to design completely themselves from start to finish. I've noticed that if someone produces a nice garment pattern then they move it across to the lekala site so you can purchase it ready to print (apart from uploading your own measurements). So you should get the same satisfactory result from sewist as you do from Lekala. Enjoy. 😉😘👍
Thank you Michou for sharing. Love the dress and I'm going to go to that web site! I'm in America does that matter when it comes to paying for pattern? And is it PDF or a shipped pattern? Have a great week.
I do hope your neighbor is doing better.
Lovely way to show us your talents as a teacher. Thank you so much.
I think she's improving but she's still not home yet. Fingers crossed she gets back home. I understand they think she should go into care. Much against her will. 😘
Oh wow, wow, wow - that blue spotty dress is just stunning on you Michou! I’m also in love with the website that you showed us.
It's one of my favourite sewing patterns sites. 😉
Perfect ruffle finish to a lovely dress on you.
Thanks Lorraine. One tries ones best. 😉😘
WOW that dress is so pretty! Great job Micheline!
+Angela Wagnon
thanks Angela 👍😉
Enjoyed watching how to add a ruffle on a dress already made up! Thanks for the good instructions!!
+Cheryl Ross
I'm pleased you enjoyed watching it Cheryl. 👍😘
I like the collar. At first I thought your dress didn’t need one, but it does add a design detail. It’s a lovely fitting dress.
it probably doesn't Karen but I had some spare fabric and I wanted to try it out to see how it looked. it's turned 2 similar dresses into 2 slightly different ones.
😉👍😘
The dress is lovely with the plain V-neck, but the ruffled frill is a nice addition. Thanks for the tutorial, Micheline. xx
thanks Laura. Now I have 2 dresses...1 without a ruffle a d the other without. 😉😘👍
I love your dress 👗 as it was and as it is now - we’ll done you. The fabric is really really lovely x Heather, New Zealand 🇳🇿 👗
+Heather Penman
thank you Heather. 👍😘
I love all of dresses. Thank you for explaining the process of changing the top to frills. Awesome job explaining. Made it sound easy.
You are so welcome! It just shows how easy it is to achieve on any dress or top you've created. 👍😉😘
That style of dress is so pretty on you Micheline and the ruffle goes perfectly with it. Lee x
Thank you Lee. 👍😉😘

thank you Elaine 👍😉😘
That’s the cutest little ruffle collar. Thank you for sharing ❤
a hack worth knowing about Julie. thanks 👍😉😘
Your dress is beautiful ,thank you for showing us how to do it.💐
Thanks so much 😊
I love that dress and it looks so nice with or without the frill. The frill is a great idea for adding interest to a garment. Clever! 🤗🤗
Thanks Vicky. It's a nice way to change the effect of the dress. 👍😉😘

It certainly is and so easy to add up any top too.

Thanks so much. 😉😘

Thank you for showing us how to draft that on our own. Looks great.
cheap enough to be worth a try too. 😉👍😘
What a lovely dress. Such a cool idea 😊
Thank you Aluson! 😊😉😘
Very nice, are you happy with it? Will you do it again for another dress? It's definitely a good look!
Happy with the idea. If I do make it again it would be better on a less 'loud' pattern. And I'd prefer it to be wider and the same width all the way around. So I would work on achieving that. 👍😉😘
Wonderful vlog, your dress looks fabulous, Deb 🪡💕🧵
thanks so much Deb. 👍😉😘

Great tutorial thank you. I’m sat here in my niche trousers, they are so comfortable and like you I’m looking for the fabric to make my own!
They're great aren't they. So comfortable and make you look that little bit trendier in the process. 😉👍😘
Pound fabrics, first for fabrics do a French Terry range x
👍 excellent. worth checking out then. 😉😘

The cost is usually in dollars so I would think they're used to selling over your way too Sheila. 👍😉😘
Brilliant! ❤

Wonderful video Micheline. I sent you an email showing you the top I made from your lovely orange fabric but I must have got your email address wrong.
