Very nice! Particularly like the way you sew your pockets, and the hem facing. I will lengthen the pattern and add a tie belt. Sadly my legs aren’t that great, but I know I will enjoy wearing this dress, very feminine. Thank you❤
Fantastic tutorial; very clear and easy to follow. I wonder if you would do one for the Andrea Woven Vest? I started it and was unable to figure out all the instructions. Thanks in advance!
I have to agree with others that the elevator music is annoying; I too prefer spoken instructions during a tutorial. Having said that, I will definitely keep this tutorial at hand on my laptop when I start sewing this dress. Seeing the steps is extremely useful for me, especially since I am not a native speaker and do not necessarily know all the sewing jargon in English.

Love, love…the tutorials. I specifically look for your video clips as I have learnt heaps from them. Don’t get me wrong…I have been sewing for several years and I have had ‘one on one’ tuition with a fairly professional seamstress but I do like to watch the videos and then ‘sew and stop’ as I go…thank you for sharing. What’s next?
Excellent tutorial and beautiful pattern, I love it❤❤❤. Waiting for my Queenie Woven dress pattern to arrive and just noticed this pattern. Oh well, I’ll need to make another order. Thank you for sharing😊.
Firstly, thank you for providing a tutorial - much appreciated! However, I do agree that the written instructions are much too small, and I also would prefer some spoken instruction as opposed to the musical background. I think using a stronger coloured fabric would make identifying the right and wrong side a bit easier but overall, this tutorial was very useful.
Also not a fan of the music, for me the whole point of a tutorial is for someone to talk through what they are doing not for me to have to read the instructions on the screen if I wanted to do that i would read the instruction book. You can’t watch and read at the same time whilst also trying to follow along. It would also be helpful to have time markers for different sectors if you need to go to a particular section , another way to do it would be to break the tutorial up so it matches the sections in the instructions.
Unfortunately as Elani is an older style, we don't have a tutorial for this pattern. Please feel free to email us at enquiries@stylearc.com.au if you're having trouble while sewing :)
I find it interesting that the sewer puts the bulk of the garment under the arch of the sewing machine instead of letting the bulk lie on the table and flow freely uncreased and uncrumpled.
This was just to show sewing the facing from the centre front to the back on each side to obtain a nice point at the V. I usually would have flipped the garment but wanted to have the facing upwards to make it easier to see! Sorry if it looked strange!!
I wondered if it had to do with being right or left handed 😂 I always have my fabric to the left of the machine and thought I might be doing something wrong. The music is quite soothing? Fantastic tutorial, very clear. Thank you😊
I am having alot of trouble getting the interfaced hem to lay flat. I see you didn't follow instructions to interface the hem and aren't having those issues. Suggest you amend the pattern instructions!
The hem facings in the video are interfaced, it's just tricky to see as it is white interfacing on white fabric. Please feel free to email us at enquries@stylearc.com.au and we can help you out there :)
I tend to agree with the first comment - the writing instructions are small. Apart from that clear instructions but just wondering about the seam allowance as I have sewn some Style Arc patterns and from memory the allowance was 1cm. Is this the new seam allowance for new patterns?
Thank you for your feedback. The seam allowance is 1cm throughout (except for the facing which is sewn with a 6mm seam allowance) and the centre front and back seams which are sewn with a 1.5cm seam allowance so that a 1cm topstitching can be sewn on top.
Thank you for your feedback. The seam allowance for the centre back and centre front seams only is 1.5cm. This is to allow for a 1cm topstich to be sewn on each side of the seam and for the seam allowance to be caught in this topstitching so that it sits flat. All other seam allowances are 1cm or 6mm (at the neckline).
Why do you do these types of tutorials? The music is so distracting, and the font is so small on the iPhone There’s no way to sew this pattern simultaneously. My attention is focused on reading the directions, can’t I do that on the pattern. Also, written directions are so impersonal, as a company that has created copious patterns, I still don’t know the person behind Style Arc, like I do other small Indy pattern makers. I was so happy to learn of a tutorial but so disappointed when I watched.
You can turn your iphone sideways / landscape and turn the sound off. We cannot get these patterns in South Africa so I have a basic pattern that I use for many garments and adapt them to the garments shown on you tube.
Turn your sound off so you don’t hear the music. Either screen shot so you can enlarge the writing to read it, or use a magnifying glass. Put your device on pause while you catch up and then unpause and continue. This is a very good video and of much use to others, perhaps if you bought an iPad you would be better pleased.
Don’t believe the cranks. Super helpful tutorial - just what I needed before I start cutting. Thanks!
Thank you! Happy sewing :)
Gorgeous dress. Love the details.
Thanks for your kind feedback!

We hope you love yours as much as we love ours!
Thank you for the tutorial, very good idea!
Thanks for taking the time to offer feedback
Loving these tutorials x My favourite pattern designer, thank you.
Thanks for your feedback we are in the process of making a new one ;)
Excellent tutorial.
We are so glad that you found it useful

I, too, found the elevator music annoying.
beautifully demonstrated, thank you so very much. I'm now confident I can sew the dress and do a great job.
Thanks for your feedback!
Gorgeous simple, but flattering at the same time, I absolutely have to get this pattern and give it a go. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Thank you and happy sewing!

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes it is easier to have a visual. Especially when there are multiple ways that you can approach some skills
Thank you..getting ready to making that dress
We hope you had fun sewing up your version!
Excellent tutorial and beautiful pattern, I love it❤❤❤. Waiting for my Queenie Woven dress pattern to arrive and just noticed this pattern. Oh well, I’ll need to make another order. Thank you for sharing😊.
We hope you had fun sewing your Queenie!
Are the Style Arc stickers to define right and wrong side of the fabric??? That’s genius 🤦🏼♀️ why didn’t I think of that sooner!!
Yes! A great tip to use at home. We will aim to use prints in the future so that it is easier to see.
Firstly, thank you for providing a tutorial - much appreciated!
However, I do agree that the written instructions are much too small, and I also would prefer some spoken instruction as opposed to the musical background. I think using a stronger coloured fabric would make identifying the right and wrong side a bit easier but overall, this tutorial was very useful.
Thanks for the tips!
Enjoyed the tutorial and the music ❤
It's always a challenge picking music from the limited list we have ;)
very nice, I do love a balloon sleeve :)
It's a fun sleeve to make and wear!
@@StyleArcSewingPatterns that is true! Watching the "inflation" of the balloon is the best!
Beautiful work! Thank you.
Appreciate your kind words
Great tutorial thank you for that
Thanks so much for your feedback!

Beautiful!
Thanks for your feedback
Not a fan of the music. I prefer no music and more talking about what you're doing
Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly take this on board.
Gorgeous
Appreciate that!
First time seeing this. I have the Elani Tunic pattern. Do you have a tutorial for it? Thanks.
Unfortunately as Elani is an older style, we don't have a tutorial for this pattern. Please feel free to email us at enquiries@stylearc.com.au if you're having trouble while sewing :)
@@StyleArcSewingPatterns thanks much will do
Beautiful dress. Can I know what's this sleeve name please...
it is a balloon sleeve
Music is distracting but thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks for the feedback. You can always mute the sound :)

What type of fabric is that?
We have used a midweight linen for our Zalia Dress :)

I think just by watching the tutorial is great but didn’t like the music
Kindly noted
Turn your sound off 🤷♀️
That font is so tiny!!!!
