I just bought this pattern and checked Pattern Review which led me to your video. Thank you for the heads up on the facing issue. You handled that well!😊
Aww. That’s great. So glad you picked up this pattern and watched the video. I have been loving this dress since I made it. You’re welcome. Thank you so much.
I love how your dress turned out. That leather pocket adds a cool element to the front. That wash away thread is really neat. I'd love to try it. The dress looks great on you and it's so versatile because you can add a long sleeve tee under it for the fall and winter months.
Thank you. I think the dress is versatile too. I can see wearing something under it, as you mentioned, and even wearing a jacket or cardigan on top. I’m looking forward to wearing it in different ways. I hope you try the wash away thread. It’s really great and comes in handy. Thanks again.
That was a nice touch to add the pocket on the bodice. I'm inspired to give this pattern a try. Thanks! Also, I'm definitely adding dissolving basting thread to my sewing kit.
You said you made an extra small. What size dress would you normally wear? Thanks. Looking at the pattern pieces, it looks like it is plenty big. I usually wear a size 4 or sometimes a size 6 so an extra small is what I'm leaning toward. Thanks. Your video is great! Dress looked so nice on you.
Hi. Thank you. Like you, I normally wear a 4 in ready-to-wear garments. The dress is roomy. I hope that helps. I think you are going to love this pattern. So cute. Thanks again.
Just observed the dress, mcCalls 8281, cute and fits very well as always. Just curious to know do you read about different items to use such as the wash away thread, or question the employees at the store. Such great ideas to make your outfits and creations easier. Such a joy to watch you having fun!! More exciting than the movies, for it's someone I love so dearly, and enjoy watching the beginning and end results. Keep it coming! Love Auntie Irene
Thank you so much. Yes. I read and learn about different things. I browse through things on the internet and learn about different things that way too. You are so sweet. Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoy the videos. It definitely motivates me to keep making them. Love you more.
I’ve just got this pattern and went to pattern review and found your video. Your dress is awesome. I have some heavyish linen. Do you think it would work if I used the pattern bodice for a top? Is it quite loose fitting? Thanks in anticipation of your reply and thanks for all the tips. The wash away thread is on my shopping list. 😊
Hi, Kay. Thank you for clicking the link on Pattern Review. I have a feeling that the linen that you have will work as a top. I do think the top/bodice is loose fitting, and I think you are going to love the wash away thread. So handy.
Thank you for the teachable moments! Your dress is beautiful.
Hi, Lauri. You’re most welcome. Thank YOU!!

Washable thread for marking! WHAT A GREAT TIP!
Thank you. It works really well too. If you try it, I think you’ll love it. Thank you for watching.
Great review of pattern, great sewing tips. You have a wonderful ability to match fabric and patterns that suit you.
Hi, Gerry. Thank you so much. I appreciate hearing that. :)
thank you for the wash-away thread tip. I will definitely use it. The dress is cute on you 😍
You’re so very welcome. I’m so glad the video was helpful. I think you’ll love the thread. Thank you so much!!!
I love it. I’m making one in linen right now. I’m hoping I’ll reuse this pattern. Tfs❤
Nice. Your dress should be really nice in linen. That will be perfect for warm/hot weather. You’re welcome. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love!!! Beautiful!
Thank you so much, Tea. :) I’m really looking forward to wearing this often this fall and winter season.
Super cute. Very you! Thanks 😊
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed sewing this dress. You’re welcome.
ooh, I really love this dress! That little leather pocket gives it great style- I never knew about the washaway tape!!
The washaway tape is so helpful. I love it. Thank you so much. I love using scraps when I can.
I love how your dress turned out. That leather pocket adds a cool element to the front. That wash away thread is really neat. I'd love to try it. The dress looks great on you and it's so versatile because you can add a long sleeve tee under it for the fall and winter months.

Great idea to use corduroy for this dress, perfect for the fall. 🧵🪡😁
Thank you so much, Maime. I was so happy to sew up this corduroy that I had for a while now. :)
I love your sewing makes. Great choice of fabrics!
Thank you so very much!!!
I hate pockets anywhere around the chest area. I love the dress though. It's so classy. I don't think it needs the pocket.
Thank you.
Your video is invaluable to me as a new sewist. Thank you for sharing your process. PS water soluble THREAD?! Who knew? ❤
You’re welcome. Water soluble thread is wonderful.
Looks great on you. Thank you for the wash away thread tip.
Hi, Carmen. Thank you so much. You’re welcome!!!! It’s my pleasure to share.

What a gorgeous dress! I love this style on you, it’s so pretty! And thank you so much for the tip on the wash away basting thread!
You’re welcome. I don’t think to use the basting thread all the time, but it is good to have. Thank you so much, Myra!!
Loving every thing you make. Great video, thank you
Thank you so very much. I greatly appreciate you watching. You’re welcome.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I’m going to go ahead and cut it out!😊
You’re so welcome! Best of luck with your top.
I was just at Joann’s and wanted this pattern but it was unavailable.
Aww. That stinks. I hope you’re able to get it eventually!!!
