Love the dresses they look great. Also love it when you tell us your mistakes, makes us non professionals feel a bit better about ours . can't wait for more videos, I'll be signing up for this class
The reason I think we all love you too is because you are so real!! We all do those things and it is good to hear that occasionally you do too. Love your channel.
Cute!!! Both fabrics and dresses!! Wow
Oh you two are a delight!
Very beautiful dresses!
I'm in the lucky position, that my dh is getting me wax prints from time to time, when he's coming home from family visits in Nigeria. I made dresses, duvet covers, pillow cases ... I just love the touch of wax prints and I love it that they are coming in to fashion now.
These dresses are so beautiful
I always look forward to your vids❤What I love most is that you keep it real. Thank you sew much. Very important to know that sometimes in sewing things will go wrong for each of us but perseverance pays off. I loved hearing Nikki say."I threw it across the room. " Lol. I have felt like that at times. The dresses are absolutely GORGEOUS! Always inspiring❤
I think you ladies are brilliant, and your dresses are gorgeous 😍
Your dresses are so amazing when i saw you guys on your Instagram wow wow wow African wax print fabric. So happy that my family from Nigeria were so happy to see your outfits made in their African fabrics it was a joy and i thank you from the bottom of my heart hear hiw much you loved sewing with this fabric and how easy the fabric works for you.
The colours on both the dresses suited you both. Amazing colours really do make you smile with the sun shining.
Thank you for sharing enjoy the rest of your day 😊😊😊😆😆😆😇😇😇
Thanks for the beautiful pictures. I love the dresses, very talented!! I also love the pictures of the British countryside. So amazing. Thanks ladies!!!
Both of you look gorgeous in the dresses love both fabrics and styles
Both dresses are beautiful in style and fabric, and you both look fantastic in them. Nikki, your lipstick matches your dress perfectly.
Another great video.. you both gorgeous and pics at the end so cool. Love the gathered bit on Nikki’s and the open back on Rachel’s.
Love the dresses!
You two are so cute together! Hope you continue to make videos for a long long run!
Hello Rachel and Nikki, great video again. I have been sewing from patterns for 4 decades and never changed anything in the making. But I have in the last 8 years have needed to learn how to draft a pattern for my own measurements. But wow, if I knew about querking patterns I could have done some amazing things. I had no-one to chat or inform me of doing such things as adjustments to fit me personally. I have started looking at patterns differently for about 5 years.
Great idea for classes. When I started sewing I had no idea. I made shorts and a skirt in a liberty fabric in a size 16. I could get both on without using the zips! Same about using your high bust measurement rather than full bust- shoulders, upper chest and back were huge. I took classes privately and through adult education. I would thoroughly recommend taking a class to anyone and yours seem lovely. I’m tempted by the puff quilt as I love the one you sent to Gabby and the one Robins Nest made.
Wow, they look amazing. Rachel, I love your pattern placement. Nikki, I love that pattern. Think I need to get it and give it a go. Another great vid! ♥️
I really needed to hear this today! Sometimes I just think to myself! Oh my goodness! I don't what I am doing!
Oh wow I absolutely love the African wax prints. I'm going to make myself a tunic in beautiful wax print x Your dresses are amazing yay !!! Love... The Nikki and The Rachel lol xxx ❣ Susan x
Rachel, I MUST HAVE that fabric! I found a hand full of designs of wax fabrics on Etsy and bought some, but nothing quite as peacock as yours. Must have it!!!!
Great video ladies loving the dresses. So vibrant 💕💕💕
Your dress looks lovely.
Thank you so much
Thank you both for being so honest and human, and sleeve gate made me splutter my cup of tea everywhere I giggled so much!
I’ll definitely be doing your class, I stopped using any of the big patterns years ago after my third dress in a row turned out huge and I was too inexperienced to know how to fix it.
The dresses look beautiful, you look great in them!!! Not a shameless plug at all! I am going to sign up for this class anyway becuase you are both so brilliant, and I would really like to see and sign up to a class if you do it on how to do a full bust adjustment, and how to take account of a bit of a belly if that makes sense. Just wanted to add that I really have such great regard for what you are doing!!! Take care and thank you. Susan
Fully agree re more complex fitting techniques. Would be wonderful
Niki and Rachel...kite string works fabulous when gathering as well. :)
Nice jobs ladies. I too Love Anakara. These colors look wonderful on you.
stunning dresses great work ! you both look fab
Love the dresses fab. Thank You for all of the shares. Can’t wait for more xxx
I’ve always wanted to use wax print fabric.... now I really want to try making a maxi dresses or a babydoll style top... your dresses are gorgeous and great colors
I just signed up for commercial pattern class it looks brilliant would recommend to anyone, thank you!
Delighted to hear you are doing a class on reading and understanding patterns. I think most people just pay lip service to measurements and sizing and ease - too much time is then spent trying to work out why something doesn't fit. Are you including actually measuring the paper pattern to check fit?
Lovely dresses ladies. 😍
Hi you both look nice in your dresses 👗👚
Wow your dresses are wonderful! You look great and I just want to make one for myself now..... TFS
Both dresses are beautiful and love the fabric! BTW, just recently purchases my fabrics and notions for my cross body bag, so that will be coming up soon.
Ive got B5917 you have encouraged me to make another one.
annnnnnd I am buying that class for commercial patterns!!! for sure!
Oh my how did I not see this challenge!! I have tons of wax prints. I’ve even seen the ones you’re wearing while fabric shopping in Rwanda. I have a few videos about it coming out soon. I wish I jumped on this one....but maybe I’ll make an excuse to get down and sew up a quick something 😉
If you want to remove the stiffness a spray of fabric conditioner and a hot iron will do the trick yay xxxx
Beautiful
There are days when I struggle to put in a zipper too. Speaking of pattern ease, on a commercial pattern I have to add length to any bodice pattern.
Hey girls do you think you guys could do full busy adjustment video?
I’m the same in that I am petite but big busted in proportion to the rest of my body. I’ve not been brave enough to try patterns where I require FBAs yet
Rachel - your dress looks fine. I would not bother fixing it up, as it would take me too much time and you cannot see the mistake in the busy print you have chosen. Although I would sew the Butterick 5919 again in a less busy fabric so that the style lines can be seen - which would make a beautiful dress.
Butterick B5919
and Butterick B5917 are not shift dress patterns, but they are nice dress patterns.
Shift dress patterns are alot more simple than these 2 dress patterns.
I think both of these dress patterns would look good with flared skirts, so if you sewed these patterns again - could you make them with flared skirts?
Really love those dresses! And, it's your channel, so you plug anything you want to. One tiny quibble; in watching the photos at the end, I couldn't help wanting you to swap shoes with each other! I wanted to see Rachel's dress with the yellow shoes and Nikki's with the red.
Wait, did you even show the back of the dress? Wear a long line bra like for wedding dresses. Cuts way down in the back and all that trussing at the ribs holds the bra cups in place for any size. Not a problem. Sounds like someone doesn't like bra shopping unless it's at Nikki's ;D the dresses are very smart looking. I like both!
Hi Ladies! Gorgeous dresses! Just wondering if you prewashed/preshrunk the fabric before you created your dresses and weather that step is even necessary. Thanks!
Great dresses. One question. Did you wash the fabric before you used it? And if so, did it change the fabric feel?
Thanks for the videos. You make me smile. Debra
Wow! How did I miss this challenge? I had bought African wax print not too long ago. Still wondering what I will make with it. I love both your dress. I own the pattern that has the ruffle in the front. I've yet to make it. I love the pattern tho'. The creases wouldn't be there if the skirt is fuller. Is this true?
And a random comment, Rachel, you remind me of an actress (I forget her name, but the red head) on the tv show Workin Moms on CBC. I think both of you would like it if you get the chance to watch it. 😃
love workin moms
Beautiful ❤️
I've recently got the SOI Betty dress pattern..... Wax print should work for that shouldn't it?! (Non directional of course 😉) x
Is the “SscissorsS” in the circle your new logo? I haven’t heard you talk about that before!
You guys are so cute...you remind me of me and my best friend. My husband just looks at us, shakes his head, and walks away laughing 😂 I do have a question though...I just recently made a pair of pants in wax print from a pattern that I’ve used before. The first pair turned out perfect! However, the wax print pair is too tight. I thought I had gained weight since making the first pair, but they still fit just fine. When using wax print fabric do you need to go up a size? The pattern envelope said I could use light weight denim so I figured 100% cotton was ok to use as well. Thanks for your help!
Angela Bowles-Barrett Could it be the different way the fabric is woven? Demin is a twill weave, which gives it a bit of stretch. Waxprint is a plain weave, which has no give. And than the fibers are also highly saturated with the dyes, resulting in an even stiffer fabric which give it its characteristic crispness. How much extra ease you would need to compensate for the lack of give, I don’t know. Have not worked with waxprint yet. But definitely interested after seeing this.
Lily Bogaards Thank you! I didn’t think about that since it’s the first time I’ve worked with the fabric. I’ll definitely give it another shot though.
💝💝💝👌😁😘
I can't decide if you want to subscribe to your channel. You talk over each other so much that it's hard to make out what you are saying sometimes. And laughing when the other one is talking, pretty annoying. Your makes look ok, I think you need to find your true shape and then you may find it's easier to fit patterns. Good luck
We are like marmite, you love us or hate us! But our friendship is real (warts and all) and that means excitedly talking over each other and finishing each others sentences - and of course lots of laughing! You can't please all of the people all of the time, but we have to keep it real. Thanks for commenting x
