I love both of your dresses, they look fab. I love a nautical print :) video at end was brilliant loved how you styled them In the field.
Absolutely gorgeous dresses ladies! Love the fabric choices and the buttons! x
They look awesome! And love the anchor fabric too and the red!
Heather Thompson thanks Heather !
That was lovely, ladies, thanks for sharing.
Elizabeth Swan glad you liked it Elizabeth
The photos are the end were fabulous! It looked like you were having a lot of fun there. :) You're right about the difficulty of buying plain fabrics. Firstly, it's actually tricky to find decent plain fabrics in the first place; then there's the tricky issue of forcing yourself to purchase it. And I love finding nearly-new sewing patterns for next to nothing secondhand, especially when you can use them to make shirt dresses as lovely as these ones.
Katie Writes Stuff thanks Katie, I think we will definitely do more mini photo shoots at the end of videos. It's such fun but I definitely need more practice at the serious model face !
Both dresses are lovely 👍🏻. I'm addicted to prints myself and it is so hard to incorporate solids but I'm trying 😜 Thanks for sharing 😘
IGuessSeww best of luck with your sewing
Love these shirt dresses! I would be interested to see you do a tutorial on how to do a proper collar stand. Great photo shoot! 📷🌸👯♀️🌞
Your dresses turned out really nice, love the fabric on both. I have to post my entry later, but I did have a hard time with my shirtdress collar, so I ditched it - LOL!. I used McCall too, but 6891.
I really love these dresses! I've had this pattern for about a year, and you two just moved it way, way up in my que! PS: You girls seem like so much fun I want to fly over and hang out!
we2r1inhim aww that's so sweet of you to say, your always welcome to come hang out 😁✈️
Thanks for sharing. Have fun sewing, later
Hurray for shirt dresses! Yours have turned out so so so beautifully...same here about buying solid fabrics btw. I always end up buying something with some kind of print on it, mostly flowers. And yes: nautical prints also find their way into my shopping bag without me even noticing :P
Hattie sews best of luck with your sewing !
Quite LoVeRLy ! Thank you !
both are so great. Love you enthusiasm sisters. I need a sewing sister...lol!!! new subscriber here
monikita777 thanks so much
Lovely dresses girls. Love the picture Montage at the end although Nikki looks as if she is having trouble being serious.
Quiltygal I must practice more serious poses but I get too giggly and always act 😝
They look great. I have made this dress...well, the top and skirt separately, shoved to the back of the cupboard because I can't seem to fit the bodice correctly and scared of doing a button placket. Need to be brave and just try it... :)
Sian Sweet the button plaquet isn't too bad. Just take it one step at a time, it's very satisfying once it's in place 😘
You both just look great. I had the same problem with the back. How do you get the fullness out
Love your dresses! So summery! How did you a.) take the fullness out of the back and b.) decide how much fabric to remove (if you did)?
Laurie Carlson we tried to make the bodice the same size as the skirt at the waistband and just ended up adding one vent Pleat instead of all the gathers.
Stitch Sisters thanks!
Very nice, thank you :) could you do a video for a decorative topstitching, while using special thicker tread, as on jeans?,,
Ieva Alvidovna we are both doing jeans this summer so we will add some topstitching to the vlog list for you !
I have really enjoyed your videos. I used to make all my clothes but took about a 20 year hiatus from all sewing. Now I’m sewing again. Mostly quilting but looking to get back into garment sewing. My problem is that one of my shoulders is completely wrecked and I can’t manage a back zipper at all. Do you think a simple dress like a shift you can modify to put in a side zipper instead of a back zipper? I would really appreciate your input. Thanks.
Do you remember what size you made? I am looking at the pattern and it seems roomy. Are you glad you made it in cotton? I am looking to made it during this lockdown. Thanks!
:) 32 degrees!
hello can i ask in the video you made when you were shopping in london you mentioned a kimono which was just lovely, can you give me the details please ty
Beautiful ladies and lovely dresses! I want to ask you the age old question; do you wash your fabric before sewing? I know this will open a can of worms for sure! TIA
Colleen Isaac yes we do wash our fabric before sewing (generally !). We always wash anything with stretch but sometimes don’t worry too much with 100% cottons. 😁👍🏼💚
