Thank you so much! Your blouse came out great and you figured out the back neck band. I'm still puzzled. I may call Simplicity and see if they can assist. I do want to sew up the color block top and make that into a dress also. Have a great week!
The dress turned out so well and the fabric flows beautifully! Rayon challis is so nice for hot weather. I have that pattern and have not tried it yet - good to know that facing might be tricky. We learn so much from each other! Hope you enjoyed the embroidery event and that you were so inspired there!
Oh thank you! It was definitely the perfect choice fabric for that bias cut pattern. I'm still trying to figure out Step 8 back neck facing. I enjoyed the 2 day embroidery event and I was most definitely INSPIRED! Have a great week!
Grace I just want to thank you for posting that Joanns had patterns on sale in plenty of time for all of us to take advantage instead of those that show the patterns they got on sale after the sale is over and then I didn't know about it! I bought 10 patterns today from all 3 companies offering the $1.99 price. I simply can't afford to pay full price for patterns anymore. Again thank you.😘
I'm so happy I can help Caroline! Be sure to check my Community page frequently. I post sales as I become aware of them. Vogue will be going on sale for $5.99 on July 8th. From now until the 7th, Butterick, McCalls, and Simplicity are $1.99. ENJOY!! 🥰
Your biased cowl neck dress is beautiful 🤩 🤩. A great Date Night dress😉😉😉 with hubby. I know you will have a great time at the embroidery workshop, and I can’t wait to see your new embroidery creations🙌🏻🙌🏻.
Thank you so much Karen! 🤗 I love that dress! I just got home from the 2 day embroidery event. I'm exhausted but I had a lot of fun! Hope you're having a great weekend.
Hi Grace! I hope that you are doing well. I like your mug. Yes, sewing keeps me sane too my sewing sister!!! You did an excellent job with making the blouse into a dress. Absolutely beautiful, my sewing sister 😊😊❤❤🥰🥰🥰!!!! Cute fabric too!!! Yes!!!!! Sis, it is a perfect fit. I love how you modeled it and styled it as well. I am glad that you are good, and you have a generator too. There is nothing like having a backup when your lights go out. Love it!!! I hope that you enjoy the event. Love you sis ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘!!!!
Thanks Sis! I love this dress! One of my top fave dresses now. 🥰 I just got home now from the 2 day embroidery event. It was fun! Have a great weekend! 💖💖💖💖
Hi Grace! I just love seeing all the gorgeous and chic clothing pieces that you make!!! You always look so AMAZING in them! Just beautiful!!! And you carry yourself so well!! Do you work out? You have a great shape!!! Your husband is one lucky man!!! Cheers! 🥂
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that. No, I do not work out. I'm too busy sewing LOL. I actually try to only eat 2 meals a day within an 8 hour window. I also try to eat healthy. No special diet. Thanks again!
Hi Deb! It's a great event. I love the projects. The only challenge is that we are using Bernina machines. I'm used to BabyLock. But I met some great people and having a blast! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 💖
Coffee is a must!! The dresses that you made from the blouse pattern is just perfect!! Have fun at the embroidery event! Only 30min! You are so lucky, our last one was 3 days. Luckily it was in winter. Happy sewing
Yes. I know how you endure endless power outages. WOW! TERRIBLE. I'm very fortunate that it came back so quick. 😍 Yes, ☕️ is a must! Have a great weekend 💗
ABSOLUTELY always doing my own thing! JUST LIKE YOU!!! 🌹🌹You will definitely see more of this attitude! It's fun and liberating. I hope you are having a great weekend! 💝💝💝💝
Hi Grace, I love this new dress. I agree about wearing what you like. I've been told that animal print is out, however, I have two items in this print that I wear because I like it and that's all that matters. Living in Florida, as Texas where I am, we can sometimes wear sleeveless all year, so his print is perfect for fall as well. Many blessings to you.
Thanks Cherrie! I love my dress too! Who told you animal print is out? Hmmm. Well, I'm telling you it's in! LOL I set trends, I don't follow them. If I like something, I will wear it. If you like it, wear it and ENJOY!!! Many blessings to you as well!!!
You did such a nice job on making that pattern into a dress. I’ve done the same with some patterns. Animal print is timeless, love it. Lovely, Grace.😊❤️
Thank you so much Aribella! ❤️ This is one of my favorite dresses 👗 and patterns. I love animal prints and i also can't wait to sew up the color block one. 💕💕💕♥️♥️
Very sophisticated dress. I'm not usually drawn to animal prints as I think I'd feel conspicuous in them, that one reads "subtle" even though it's clearly not. Maybe the value of the colors is similar? Maybe a consideration for the future. I hope you are having a fabulous time this weekend. Maybe we will get to see more of your new machine and what you create. Re: power outages and modern sewing machines - the owner of my sewing/vac shop recommended buying a power back up to avoid damage. I do turn my machine off when not in use, but given the ammout of hours I'm on it, the odds are pretty good it would be on use if the power went out unexpectedly. Worth considering if anyone hasn't thought of it before. 🌻🍄
Animal prints! GO FOR IT!! 👍😍 I'm at Day 2 of the embroidery event. Lots of projects and fun. A power pack is a good 👍 idea. Don't be afraid to experiment with different fabrics and make it your own. Have a great weekend 💗
I am ecstatic to have seen this video as I own a knit dress with a cowl neckline that I wanted to eventually recreate. I have the pattern in my Etsy shopping cart. Thanks for sharing 😊
Wow gorgeous dress my dearest Grace❤ You make me want to buy every pattern you show. Wow what an idea to extend to a dress. I loved the fabric. Absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤
This turned out lovely! Be sure and let us know how you worked out the back neck facing! I have this pattern in my ‘wish list’ now, but will want to know how to do that back neckline! Enjoy your event!
I'm stumped! I don't know why I don't get it but I need to re-focus. I may email Simplicity Customer Support next week and ask for assistance. I enjoyed Day 1 of the embroidery event. I'm looking forward to tomorrow Day 2. Lots of fun!
Beautiful dress, Grace!!! I'm generally not one for animal prints, but yours is gorgeous!!! I like yours because its full of rich color, whereas some animal prints are cheap and cheesy-looking. I'm definitely going to get that Vogue pattern and add it to my pattern inventory. GREAT MAKE! 🥰 Dori
YEAHSSSSSSS!!!!!! Very nice. If you were participating in the ‘hack-ah-thon’, this would be a hit there also. Thank you so much for sharing my coffee sew sister. You look amazing. I am SEW INSPIRED❤
Gorgeous dress Grace, it looks great on you. Hope you are having fun at your embroidery event. I’m sure you’ll bring home lots of goodies. Coffee and sewing are my recipe for a great day too. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Diane, I love my dress. The fabric is fun. Day 1 of the embroidery event was so exciting. I'm looking forward to Day 2! Lots of goodies for sure. Coffee, sewing and a big party. 🥳🎉 Yes, they have coffee ☕and they feed us too. It's a lot of fun! 💖
Another winner, Grace. You look wonderful :) Maybe you'd be interested in making Pomona Pants by Anne Allen. There's no side seam. It's one piece only, that you flip over lol. Heard about them from Sarah Sews.
Thank you! I love that dress. And thank you for the pattern suggestion. I don't usually buy PDF patterns because of the printing. But I do appreciate your suggestion.
Wow!!! That dress looks amazing on you! That is definitely a date night dress. Also, that animal print looks great with your coloring. You are the second TH-camr (first one was Kittenish Behavior), I have seen recently talking about and liking this pattern. I am tempted to purchase this pattern during the next Joann pattern sale, even though I have a few similar other knit and woven cowl neck tops. I think that bias-cut, cowl neck dresses or tops flatter defined waist, big-busted body types.
Thank you so much ❤️ Yes, Kittenish Behavior agreed it was challenging but doable. The bias cut is very attractive 😍 pick up the pattern. I can't wait to make it color blocked!
I think you have enough fabric left to make a matching hat. You could use a coordinating fabric for the lining. I love making matching hats for dresses! I wore a 2 piece dress and matching hat while grocery shopping. A little girl was looking at me and turned to her Mom, she said, "Look Mom. Just like in the movies!" I had to stop and thank her for making me feel like a movie star. You look like a movie star in this dress. Imagine with a matching hat!
@@sewlovelywithgrace YES I do. McCall's 7766 or Butterick 6641. If you've never made a hat before, make a mockup first. Sizing can be a bit different than with clothes. Would love to see you in a matching hat. I think they really are a great statement piece.
Hi Grace I love all your mugs! How many do you have? I love, love, love your dress!! I am a sucker for animal print and I really like the cowneck detail ❤❤❤
Hi Kesha! How many mugs do I have??? Too many to count LOL 🤣🤣🤣 I love my coffee! ☕ That dress is fun too. Animal print rocks. Thanks so much Kesha! Have a great weekend. See you Sunday! 🥰❤❤❤❤😻😻😻
I love the your dress!! You didn't let the neck facing instruction stop you and the result is amazing😊

It's really a great pattern. 👍 I just hope to figure out the neckband. 😍
Grace, that dress looks so good on you. I have turned tops into dresses several times it"s a very easy hack don't you think so?
Thanks Mary! Yes, this one worked out great.
