Oh Janelle it is so beautiful and I agree more Japanese sewing please. How many of us were yelling at tge TV - STOP Janelle the collar is the wrong way!! 😂 But you rescued it fabulously!
This pattern would be fun to make hacks on. Use the bodice and add different fabric on bib to match the skirt part with gathers or not. Yes, please more Japanese patterns!!! Found this one very interesting. You wear it very well ❤🎉❤
@@GarmentofPraiseSewing Yes, embroidery!!! A delicate heart in the center. Another option is a lace inlay on the bib. Just thought of that. Between the 2 of us she has her work cut out for her 😂
I so enjoy your videos. This episode was of interest to me because I like the Japanese patterns quite a bit. I love that you work around yardage issues and din’t give up!
I'd love to see more of these! I'm impressed you were able to trace the pattern..that looks like chaos. I love how it turned out and that color is beautiful! It looks so cozy and comfy!
I love 💕 your new dress. I would love to see more Japanese dresses. You are a great dressmaker. 😊You make it look so easy which encourages me to attempt making a garment myself. I look forward to your videos every Sunday morning. It is always exciting to see what you are going to show us next Many thanks ❤
LOVE the light in your new outside sewing space, it's going to be a gorgeous room. Beautifully made dress & great job of saving the neckline. I've made some big mistakes like that also, appreciate you including that bit. Such a cute dress!
Love this dress, great save of the collar/facing seam. We all have these moments of sewing face palm, kudos for showing it and the save. Please make the blouse too, I’ve wanted to try Japanese Drape Drape book patterns. So good to see a Japanese pattern book in use.
It's really cute, Janelle! I hope you keep it as is- the architecture of the dress is so interesting and adding waist ties will change the design intent, I think. Of course, you have to do what is best for you, but honestly, it is really lovely as is. Thanks for this video- I've always been curious about the Japanese pattern books.
Yes, I saw that mistake coming too! Would love a series on using Japanese patterns. I have one of the magazines you have and now feel much more confident to use it. The patterns are so stylish and unique.
What a beautiful dress, I remember having many dresses with sailor neck when I was a child and I loved them! Enjoy your new creation and I would love to see more Japanese style dresses, they are so cute💞
Pleats aren’t bad, you did just fine. 👍 I always mark mine at the top within the seam line. I use an arrow >< for direction and a small mark for where it is to meet. Then you don’t see the marker. I pin if I am making something in which the pleats are sewn down, so I can pin where it needs to stop. Pleating takes a lot of material, but so does gathering. 🫣😬 Your dress looks beautiful. ❤👍
I love this dress! Please do a whole Japanese series! I would love for you to make a similar pattern that we can purchase. Thank you and I think you are amazing.
yesss please more japanese sewing ! i am currently making a skirt from a sewing book i bought last summer, it is super easy but this book specifically did not come with patterns templates ! and i have the same problem with the fact that i brought back tons of fabric but most of them are not enough to make most of the pieces from the books haha.
The dress is fabulous and looks beautiful on you! The fabric is perfect for that design. I have a couple of these books that I bought online, but have never attempted as of yet, as I currently wear a much larger size. I am encouraged by your success and may give it a go now. I would love more videos on this! Great job Janelle! Hugs from Cincinnati Ohio.
Loved this video and I would love to see more sewing Japanese patterns. Japanese fashion can be so feminine in such a different way than we have here in the US. Great job.
I’ve been eyeing off these books for a while and always been too nervous to try sewing one , your gorgeous dress has convinced me to give it a try. I’ve bought my first pattern book online . 😀
The cutting space is FABULOUS!!! Love the cinematic effects from this end. Adjust slowly for the background is calming and all attention can be focus to cutting task. My .02 ❤️💪
Loved watching this! Please make all of the patterns and share - actually gave me so much hope for my sewing journey (anxiety was real with the collar though) ❤
I'm so glad you did this, I picked up a Japanese pattern book for menswear last year, I haven't been brave enough to attempt anything yet. Those over printed pattern sheets are very intimidating
The dress is lovely and I’d love to see you make more. I have made item from Japanese accessory sewing and knitting patterns and the illustrations are great. Two suggestions - Google Translate is great for translation pattern instructions when you need more details and a Japanese hold punch helps transfer pattern makings. Can’t wait to see what you make.
Stunning! And a brilliant save! It is so beautiful. I wouldn’t add ties! I think the view of the pleats at the back would be missed up. As it is at the moment is very distinctive.
I have the very same pattern book and that is the dress I wanted to sew first! It was fabulous to be able to watch you make it and I can’t wait to get started on mine. Please, please consider making some more of these gorgeous patterns. Thank you 🙏 🤗
Hello. I am new to your channel and I really enjoyed watching your process. I love linen and of course most things Japanese. I am seriously contemplating visiting Japan in September this year ffor the first time. Eeek! Thank you for the amazing gift you have.
You are so talented and have so much determination. Life is life sh* happens. Your excitement is contagious. I am fortunate to own a thrifted Necchi machine mainly used for thrift adjustments.
I sincerely love this dress. I have been looking to sew japanese patterns for a while and already bought a couple of books similar to yours (but translated into french fortunately!). You give me courage to start!! So far, I have only sewn pants from these books but you give me motivation to sew dresses. I love their charm. Thank you.
Janelle it's soo cute!!! Yes please do a Japanese pattern series, we're potentially going there this year and of course I'd buy some pattern books🤩 can't imagine how many cute little girl's patterns there must be as well, as I'm keen on sewing stuff for my daughter❤
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, the Japanese patterns and instructions are very meticulously done, with numbers to help with the order in which it must be done, and the illustrations are very clearly drawn. On the drawing we can see that the sailor collar was put reverse side on the body right side. I understand that read the Japanese can be a hurdle, but in fact it is easier than you would think.
Totally loved this, Janelle! You did a great job! Also, one thought on your Dreamy Workspace downstairs; a gorgeous rug would look fabulous and cut down on the echo. Though I’m sure you have all that stuff planned out considering your interior design background!
One tip I learned when I first started overlocking was to buy a couple of neutral thread colours rather than white or black. So I got natural and light grey and dark grey. They don’t stand out as much as white on your coloured items.
It looks lovely. Linen is such a beautiful fabric! 😍 And the colour is totally "you" 😊 I felt your pain when you realised the collar was back to front 😱 we've all done stuff like that... but thank goodness you managed to unpick it without mishap 🎉 Seam rippers are a sewist's best friend. Enjoy wearing your new dress!
FINALLY! I have the same kind of book that I was gifted, but couldn't understand how it works. Now, I can't wait to see the patterns in the book and try my best to attempt to sew
Loved that you, when you discovered the mistake, talked thru options and re-did it. We all make mistakes. My most "interesting" one was cutting a sleeve out of the back piece of the shirt I was making for my hubby. No more fabric! OOPS!
Wow that’s my favorite dress of all! So my style! It looks so complicated but really wasn’t. Love the pleats lying so nicely! And I could live in 100% linen if I could afford to do so!❤️
Love it! And give me pleats over gathers any day! I have a little girls dress with pleats and it's sooo less time consuming. I love the idea of those books but as a size 18 ish they just aren't practical because I'd need too many adjustments.
OMG. Gorgeous 😍😍😍😍. Great fix on the neckline. I was almost shouting at the screen as I could see what you had done!!! Happy sewing and thank you for sharing😊. Lynne
I love oversized dresses! ❤ especially with linen fabrics. And the pleading really did look easy, you gave me so much confidence into giving it a try myself too. (I’ve never dared to give it a try 🤭)
Beautiful dress ..I would love to see more tutorials of the Japanese patterns..I have a few of these books also..I find the sizing very tricky..you really have to read the instructions instructions
Beautiful dress on you. Love the style on you but for me I would make it without the collar as it wouldn’t suit me. Can’t wait to see your sewing room complete 😊
Janelle that is gorgeous! I love it so much and would love to see more of the same. Do you know if those pattern books are available to order? Thanks again would love a Japanese series - I spent 18 months in Japan as a 6 year old and have wonderful memories ❤️
this dress reminded me a bit of a traditional korean hanbok, which is gorgeous and very elegant when used with the appropriate undergarment. I'm forever in love with hanboks. they make the model wearing it look like a doll. it's the cutest
I would have been so upset with myself if I had made that collar mistake, good save! The dress is so cute on you, you look like a blond version of those cute Japanese models! The linen is perfect.
It really suits you ….yes PLEASE MAKE A SERIES ….BUT COULD YOU MAKE SOMETHING UNISEX …maybe for Mat ( ? ) perhaps a kimono or kaftan ? Thanks so much ….i watch all your videos to learn and I’m a bloke …😊
Yes please to make this a series! Love this dress.
I agree 🎉
Please, more sewing from your Japanese pattern books! I’m so jealous, that dress is gorgeous!!
Oh Janelle it is so beautiful and I agree more Japanese sewing please. How many of us were yelling at tge TV - STOP Janelle the collar is the wrong way!! 😂 But you rescued it fabulously!
I like doing pleats much more than gathering. Pleats in linen are the most beautiful thing! Lovely dress, Nice work!
Oh I was yelling at the screen "You've got the collar up the wrong way" I am so glad you fixed it ok. Looks gorgeous on you. 🌸🐨🌸
I was also shouting at the screen 😂. So frustrating for you Jonelle
me too!@@janechadwick2635
The dress is beautiful. So clever doing it from a pattern book in a foreign language!
This pattern would be fun to make hacks on. Use the bodice and add different fabric on bib to match the skirt part with gathers or not. Yes, please more Japanese patterns!!! Found this one very interesting. You wear it very well ❤🎉❤
Yes, I thought the same thing….some embroidery also would make this pop. Love 💕 this!
@@GarmentofPraiseSewing Yes, embroidery!!! A delicate heart in the center. Another option is a lace inlay on the bib. Just thought of that. Between the 2 of us she has her work cut out for her 😂
I so enjoy your videos. This episode was of interest to me because I like the Japanese patterns quite a bit. I love that you work around yardage issues and din’t give up!
Yes, sew more Japanese patterns. Beautifully made. Well done!❤

Such a wonderful pattern and fabric. Love the Japanese designs.
Lovely to see a mother fellow lefty, I also cut with my right hand. Your are so talented and creative!
On my comment it should read another not mother ! Silly phone!ipad!
The dress turned out so cute! Looks great on you.
I love the Japanese style. I want more of these videos. Wearing oversized clothes is so comfortable.
Yes, I saw that mistake coming too! Would love a series on using Japanese patterns. I have one of the magazines you have and now feel much more confident to use it. The patterns are so stylish and unique.
I love your new location it looks amazing, would love to see more Japanese styled garments very unusual styles.

The dress is so beautiful! Gorgeous!
Yes please! More Japanese patterns!!
What a lovely make. The "sailor collar" provides a wonderful canvas for hand embellishment.
you can never get enough of japanese sewing books 😍
yesss please more japanese sewing ! i am currently making a skirt from a sewing book i bought last summer, it is super easy but this book specifically did not come with patterns templates ! and i have the same problem with the fact that i brought back tons of fabric but most of them are not enough to make most of the pieces from the books haha.

That dress is so pretty! 😍 I would sew some embroidery onto the collor 😍🤩
When I saw it laid out I was screaming noooooo stop! So glad you unpacked it and it looks amazing. Well done.

The dress is gorgeous... love it, please make more. I bought the same pattern book in Malaysia because of the cover too.
I didn't catch the title of the book. would you mind telling us, pls? I'm dying to get a digital copy
Stunning! And a brilliant save! It is so beautiful. I wouldn’t add ties! I think the view of the pleats at the back would be missed up. As it is at the moment is very distinctive.
I have the very same pattern book and that is the dress I wanted to sew first! It was fabulous to be able to watch you make it and I can’t wait to get started on mine. Please, please consider making some more of these gorgeous patterns. Thank you 🙏 🤗
It turned out fabulous 😍 I would love it if you could do a box pleated skirt. They are so beautiful but intimidating for me. Thank you ❤
Really enjoyed watching a Japanese pattern in the making. Beautiful dress and colour. And it looks really cute too!
Oh my! How lovely.
Fantastic dress! Thanks for the tuition. Would love more of same.
Hello. I am new to your channel and I really enjoyed watching your process. I love linen and of course most things Japanese. I am seriously contemplating visiting Japan in September this year ffor the first time. Eeek! Thank you for the amazing gift you have.

Wow this is absolutely stunning x
I sincerely love this dress. I have been looking to sew japanese patterns for a while and already bought a couple of books similar to yours (but translated into french fortunately!). You give me courage to start!! So far, I have only sewn pants from these books but you give me motivation to sew dresses. I love their charm. Thank you.
It's gorgeous, really suits you!
Janelle it's soo cute!!! Yes please do a Japanese pattern series, we're potentially going there this year and of course I'd buy some pattern books🤩 can't imagine how many cute little girl's patterns there must be as well, as I'm keen on sewing stuff for my daughter❤
Ooh enjoy! Yeah there are so many cute kids ones too 😍
Oh my, the dress turned out beautifully. The colour is perfect as well. I love it. 🥰🥰

That is amazing. The dress looks terrific on you!! Would love to see more of these.
Yes please would love a series of these Japanese pattern videos
One tip I learned when I first started overlocking was to buy a couple of neutral thread colours rather than white or black. So I got natural and light grey and dark grey. They don’t stand out as much as white on your coloured items.
Love the dress! Would enjoy seeing a few more makes from your Japanese pattern books.
Oh my goodness..the dress is so adorable…love the fabric and the colour…Superb…x Dottie
Yes please to more Japanese ones. I actually bought the book with the white blouse.
Any chance you would be able to link the book(s)?
Extremely interested!
It looks lovely. Linen is such a beautiful fabric! 😍 And the colour is totally "you" 😊 I felt your pain when you realised the collar was back to front 😱 we've all done stuff like that... but thank goodness you managed to unpick it without mishap 🎉 Seam rippers are a sewist's best friend. Enjoy wearing your new dress!
Yes please. Give us more of the Japanese patterns content 😍
FINALLY! I have the same kind of book that I was gifted, but couldn't understand how it works. Now, I can't wait to see the patterns in the book and try my best to attempt to sew
The fabric is perfect with the style of dress, great job!
Love the idea of more Japanese patterns

Wow that’s my favorite dress of all!
So my style!
It looks so complicated but really wasn’t.
Love the pleats lying so nicely!
And I could live in 100% linen if I could afford to do so!❤️
Thank you! 🧡🧡
Yes please, make more I could watch you make anything. I love the dress its very you!!
Love it! And give me pleats over gathers any day! I have a little girls dress with pleats and it's sooo less time consuming. I love the idea of those books but as a size 18 ish they just aren't practical because I'd need too many adjustments.
The dress looks beautiful, I am surprised how well it turned out.
OMG. Gorgeous 😍😍😍😍. Great fix on the neckline. I was almost shouting at the screen as I could see what you had done!!! Happy sewing and thank you for sharing😊. Lynne
I love oversized dresses! ❤ especially with linen fabrics.
And the pleading really did look easy, you gave me so much confidence into giving it a try myself too. (I’ve never dared to give it a try 🤭)
Finally, one honest Taylor who shows that shit can happen, thank you for your good mood and a beautiful dress. So feminin and cosy.
Ugh, I studied abroad in Japan before I got into sewing. I wish I had been into it when I went so I could have picked up some patterns ...
I’m halfway through and love that you are unpicking
Love it, really beautiful and looks great on you ❤
I love it on you!
So beautiful, I love it! 😍
Beautiful dress ..I would love to see more tutorials of the Japanese patterns..I have a few of these books also..I find the sizing very tricky..you really have to read the instructions instructions
Beautiful yes make more styles thanks
Very nice! Suits you!😊
So perfect and pretty!
Series please!
Beautiful dress on you. Love the style on you but for me I would make it without the collar as it wouldn’t suit me. Can’t wait to see your sewing room complete 😊
Janelle that is gorgeous! I love it so much and would love to see more of the same. Do you know if those pattern books are available to order? Thanks again would love a Japanese series - I spent 18 months in Japan as a 6 year old and have wonderful memories ❤️
this dress reminded me a bit of a traditional korean hanbok, which is gorgeous and very elegant when used with the appropriate undergarment. I'm forever in love with hanboks. they make the model wearing it look like a doll. it's the cutest
in europe we have those books as well. I didn't know they sound weird to some people from other continents!
I would have been so upset with myself if I had made that collar mistake, good save!
The dress is so cute on you, you look like a blond version of those cute Japanese models! The linen is perfect.
Maybe make a skurt with pleades.i tink they are så classic too.fits a lot og bodies😊
Beautiful!
I love the oversized look! It looks so flowy in the back 😊ps the black floral dress in your background during the video, will we be seeing that soon?
YES MA’AM! Its lovely! And how skilled are you for it to have lined up perfectly. Question: do you pre-wash your linen fabrics before sewing with them
It really suits you ….yes PLEASE MAKE A SERIES ….BUT COULD YOU MAKE SOMETHING UNISEX …maybe for Mat ( ? ) perhaps a kimono or kaftan ? Thanks so much ….i watch all your videos to learn and I’m a bloke …😊
It so lovely on you.
Hermoso!!!!
Çok çok güzel bi kalıp,güzel bi renk seçimi ,muhteşem olmuş Rosary👍🏻
