Wow, a full tutorial! I'm just getting ready to make my first Mica, so I'm super grateful for these step-by-step instructions.

[@closetcorepatterns]

Have fun!

[@DonnaDeCourcy]

I am so happy with my Mica Dress. Just putting the buttons and hemming now. This tutorial was so helpful. Merci, Judith.

[@closetcorepatterns]

You are so welcome!

[@chickenbobblehat4701]

It was such a great addition to crew membership to have this sewalong. Please consider doing these more often as they are really useful 😊

[@closetcorepatterns]

That's great to hear! We do plan on doing them for more complex projects :)

[@donnadecourcy7332]

Ooh, you sneaked this ahead of time! Very pretty! Maybe the snow will be gone before I get this made!❤

[@KD-ob1go]

An excellent tutorial, very nicely explained! This is not a pattern, it is a masterpiece!

[@closetcorepatterns]

Thank you very much!

[@Sewassemblyrequired]

Judith is THE BEST! I consider myself an experienced sewist and I always learn something new, a tip or trick when watching Judith.

[@closetcorepatterns]

She really is!

[@cindywinkler4172]

Thanks so much for a wonderful tutorial, you took your time and it wasn't rushed, which is appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@closetcorepatterns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xandravanderlinden3082]

How can you combine a size 44 bottom to 40 top?

[@closetcorepatterns]

You would grade between them! There is a bodice fitting guide as well as a grading guide for Mica when you sign up for Crew for this month

[@bairbreguilfoyle2233]

I've watched it over and over again and I can't understand how you're doing the burrito method. The fabric is too close to the bottom of the screen to see exactly what's going on.

[@KarmenSpiljak]

I'm also trying to figure out how this works. The video shows something different than the instructions and it's not 100% clear what the starting position of the fabric is when you flip it and how you roll it into a burrito

[@cindywinkler4172]

Do you mean " understitch"?

[@judithmalenfant1525]

Yes I meant to say understitch and kept on saying topstitch 😂

[@closetcorepatterns]

Exactly!
