Hey everybody!! I forgot to ask in the video !! What are YOU working on this week?!!
I’m actually making a weddinguest dress for my sister for my own wedding! It’s a bustier with a simple gathered skirt in a beautiful green ❤ loved this video, really inspired to do more patchworking!
I am making the gathered skirt from your last video!! I am finally on the last tier and it is also green! Great work btw!!
Working on a triangular pieced jacket! Your dress is stellar! I love it, and you are delightful. Thank you.
The end result of this is INCREDIBLE!! 😍
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
What wonderful two-tone design. Beautiful flow. So interesting and satisfying to look at.
Dress looks amazing 🤩 the patchwork definitely elevates it to the next level 💖💖💖
ahhh thank you for understanding my vision!!!! :')
This dress turned out soooooo stunning!! LOVE the color and fit and flow of the patchwork and you look so so pretty in it! X
What a gorgeous dress! The color-blocking takes it up so many levels!
Thank you so much!!
Wow Carly, you have a perfect sense of how the lines should flow over the garment and your body. Looks amazing!
Oh thank you, that's such a kind thing to say - I TRIED hahah!!!
Just WOW. You are amazing.
I love your approach to trying new things! You dive right in and make gorgeous things 🤩
The dress looks fantastic on you.
This video was just the perfect vibes!!! I love seeing you documents new techniques you learn, as well as trialling new things like this project. As I was watching, I'm just hand sewing a little neck corset for a little fair jester look I'm creating. Immaculate vibes 10/10
Aw that's so nice!! I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
One of the most stunning dresses I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing your process! ❤️🧡 Love love love the color blocking! 😍
I just finished helping make a prom dress with satin and mesh embroidered fabric! Quite tricky 😅 but satisfying! Now working on some fun drawstring bags ✨
Aw wow, that is so lovely. Thank you! Ooooh that sounds amazing - must have been fiddly! Good luck with your bags.
The dress looks wonderful! I am honestly thinking that I should purchase any sewing machine and start sewing right now because I am wedding guest in week and I have nothing appropriate to wear 😀
Aw thank you so much!! OOoooh a sewing machine opens up a whole new world - you can make anything your heart desires!!
That dress looks amazing! I'm working on a wedding guest dress too. Vogue 9100. It's the first dress I'm making for myself, first time inserting an invisible zip, sewing princess seams and fitting princess seams. After 6 or so muslins, it's looking pretty good. Enjoy the wedding party!
Thank you so much! Ooooh I just looked it up & it's sooo pretty. I hope it goes well. Keep me posted!! Enjoy!!
Luckily for me, I could reach this interesting channel!!!
I am looking forward to your video uploaded from Japan.
Your dress looks stunning, well done 👍
thank you!!
Looks gorgeous
The dress turned out just perfect 😍⚘ Congratulations on such a great job 👍
Aw thank you so much!!
I bought the pattern ! Gah! I'd love to try a pink and green design inspired by your version :). I definitely have found using a walking foot on my domestic machine so so helpful when needing to sew straight stitches on knit fabrics for anyone struggling ❤
Ah so exciting for you!! I hope you enjoy making it!! Ooh that's a great tip - appreciate it!
Well done for being so patient. All that work really paid off!
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely fabulous. Painstaking for you but so worth it. Congratulations!

Great video! What iron do you use?
I use a Tefal iron! It's awesome.
What do you use to film your videos?
I worked on upsizing my saree blouse. And I realised what a poor job the so-called professional tailor had done. In my country people get their clothes made by tailors on a regular basis.
I noticed the following problems:
1. Horribly done invisible zipper
2. One of the sleeves had one side cut smaller than the other.
3. One half of the bodice was not the same size of the other half.
It was as if the bodice and the arms were cut on the same side ( I hope it makes sense) 😅
I literally cried while fixing it and realised the professional tailors do not actually sew professionally for everyone and me learning to sew is paying its dividends.
Also I have a question:
Is there a specific reason you chose to use your domestic for this fabric rather than your Juki?
sorry for all the fuss with your shirt! I hope it is looking good now. Also I originally started with my domestic because I had ball point needles to use & they only fit my domestic... I didn't end up using them so I definitley could've/should've used my industrial but I had already threaded my domestic & I was just too lazy to change haha!!
I have confession, I love your videos and your makes, your personality shining through, but I am not huge fan of patchwork overall. Its usually too busy for me. But I absolutely fall in love with this make of yours. So this is how to get to me, with little bit more simplicity but huge intrigue. I will probably attempt something similar 😍 Thank you for inspiration!
Aw thank you for this comment. I appreciate a lot! I don't often refine my ideas this much but I'm glad it resonated with you. Good luck if you give it a go!!
