    (New sewer and new to this channel). I learned that I should sew the front and back arm facing together prior to sewing it to the dress. This makes perfect sense. I need to work on a muslin for this. it does look like a great dress for many occasions

      @martikajmakes  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much! That is correct, they should be sewn together before attaching. Thanks for watching and I hope my channel will help you further in your new sewing journey!

    Love your fabric choice and your dress looks like the pattern cover. Fabric choice gives it an elegant vibe and the bag is a beautiful accessory. Extra, indeed. Thanks for the tip on the armhole facing. I will be making.

    I LOVE this pattern! Made my first version in July 2022 from a Mood Fabrics quirky cotton poplin. The design is a vintage era "bathing beauties" that's the perfect dress for summer weather regardless of whatever time of the year. Like Talisha, I did have issues with those oversized armholes so thankfully I made a muslin first so I could raise the armholes on the pattern. I'm ready to make another version soon in a smaller size...YAY!
    Absolutely LOVE your dress and the print that you used. Always inspiring to see what other sewists have made because it reminds me of what I can do with the fabric in my stash 😉😊
    Thanks for sharing. I just now subscribed to your channel.

    • @martikajmakes
      @martikajmakes  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much and thank for subscribing! I'm going to raise my armholes a little the next time I make it as well. My muslin armholes didn't dip like the actual fabric did once completed. Luckily, I was able to get away with a black bra that complimented the black in the fabric.

    I love your dress! the fabric is so summery, but can go with a lot of different things. I can't remember if I have this one or not, but your (and Talisha's) dresses make me want to get it if I don't! Thanks so much for sharing!

    • @martikajmakes
      @martikajmakes  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much! You should definitely add both patterns to your list to make for easy patterns. The dress nor the bag has any notions, and neither of them have a lot of pieces to put together.

    Your dress came out so good! It looks great on you and I love your bag! I made that dress last year in a fabric like yours except it was orange and white! Anyway, my dress was way too big and I need to try to fix it so I can wear it!!! Thanks for sharing! And happy Mother’s Day!😊

    Very nice and inexpensive dress to make. Of course, you can't put a price on the joy of making it, and learning to deal with those facings.
    Happy mother's Day!

      Thank you so much! Those facings had me second guessing my comprehension...😂. Talisha actually explains the purpose of the 2 different widths in her video.

    Happy Mother's Day! The dress is beautiful and linen is perfect for this time of year. I was supposed to make this dress last year, but I didn't get to it. Thanks for the heads up on the sizing. Will the size of the arm hole cover undergarments? Thanks!

    • @martikajmakes
      @martikajmakes  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much! The armhole is actually pretty big, and next time I will raise mine a little to cover. I was able to get away with a black bra with this fabric. Make sure to watch Talisha's video because she explains the armhole in detail.

    Nice dress. For the facing I cut the wider one down to match the smaller one. I thought it was a pattern error 🤷🏽‍♀️

    • @martikajmakes
      @martikajmakes  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much! I almost did the same thing!!! LOL! I'm glad I didn't though, because Talisha explains in her video the reason for the two sizes.
