- HEY, HEY, HEY...
I Hope ALL is well with you all!
I had such high hopes for this dress but unfortunately it did not turn out the way I wanted. Of course this mishap could have been avoided and in this video I give you my three reasons why.
Ugly projects are a waste of time! Don't make the same mistakes!
Thanks for stopping by,
Take care!
The dress looks great on you, and the fabric is awesome. It's the twist using that fabric that is an issue.
Thanks magi! 😎
T looks much better on you than you think. Great video.
Thanks Sandra! Your comment is much appreciated! 😊. Thanks for stopping by!
I like the dress.
Hey Vanessa! How are you? Hope ALL is well. I'm glad you like it...you want it? 😂😂😂 Just kidding. Good to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by. Take care!
I am well. The dress is cute. You could donate it. I am looking forward to the warm weather. I am currently working on Simplicity 8747. It is a vintage 1950s pattern. It is a skirt suit.
Terry enjoy the rest of your week.
@vanessajones3508 You and me both. Right now it’s all over the place…the weather…but I won’t complain! Consistently nice weather will be so enjoyable. 😊. Ooooh…I looked the pattern up that you are working on…niiiiiiiiice! That looks very nice! I’d love to see it. I know it’s going to be sharp! You too Vanessa…have a GREAT week!
GOoooooo Lady like that😄
😊
Thank you, I laughed so hard. So, Im not the only ugly dressmaker in the universe.
Hi Donna! No you are not...I'm with ya! 😎 Laughing is good for the soul! I'm happy to help! 😂. Thanks for stopping by!
Just found your channel and love your honesty and style. I get so frustrated when projects fail. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Cassandra! Glad you found us! Hope you love it here! Welcome! 🤗
I like the dress love the fabric
Hang on a moment you might find you fall for it again after sometime
Often things I make for myself I don’t like at completion especially if it’s given problems I guess I’m just over the item by then
But very often if I put it away and leave it a while the next time I try it I don’t remember why I disliked it so much and now kinda do like it and will wear it
I hope that happens with your dress because it looks good on, great fit, It seems comfortable and you certainly can move around in it
It’s different and fun I like it
THANKS! A BUNCH Louise! I appreciate that. You’re so right. Sometime you just gotta let things “simmer”. This wonderful community has reminded me of that. Thanks for taking the time! Take care!
The saddest thing is I can see your vision of that dress and if it had worked, it would have been spectacular! Can you use the dress/fabric to remake it into another, maybe chemise style, dress? The dresses and tops with the "knot" ... "twist?" ... anyway, are all over the place and I like the idea but I know I can't wear it. I know I just don't like fuss of any kind on that part of my body. I could deal with a little twist on the side seam/hem of a pair of linen pants, perhaps. You know as cute as something is and I find myself drawn to it, I always try to mentally put the garment on, style it and wear it around . . . that's my "avoid" the temptation exercise. Still I've made ugly . . . Beautiful fabric that looks makes you sparkle -- I hope you can find a way of reusing it! 💖
You are absolutely right! Knots ALL over the place. 😏. I think I that’s what got me! I need to follow your plan for being tempted! I love the community we have here. I’ve gotten some great ideas for a possible transformation. It may work out after all! Thanks for stopping by!
I think you look great in the dress! It looks good with the black cardigan. You're being too hard on yourself.
I wish my fails looked that good!
Hi there! Thank you! You are far too kind! I must admit I've gotten some good ideas about reconsideration. Imma hang on to it for a minute and see what the future holds. Thanks for stopping by!
It's not the dress is ugly, its that you have better style, I look at you and see a woman who is clearly classy with a dramatic classic style.
Well hey caroler4297! What a nice compliment. I appreciate that! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You look amazing in everything.
Thank you Cquiyah! 😊. Hope all is well with you! Happy Sewing!
@@VirginiasDaughterSews Everything is great, thanks for y
I like it I wouldnt wear a dress that targets my belly area because it isn’t flattering. I like it on you but you have to like it yourself to wear it. Maybe donate instead of trashing someone might enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you pjacks! I agree...not flattering at all for me either! Thanks for stopping by! Take care!
Oh, Miss Teri! You are too dang cute! Loved this video. Liked and subscribed as a result.
Thank you Miss Lorraine! 😊 WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME! So glad to have you here! Now let's have some fun! 😎
I do like your dress. I love those pants cannot wait to see all your makes
Why thank you "dsnyder"! ☺ I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I'm excited to share it all with you, so keep watching!😎 Take care!
It’s so good o see you!
MARTY! Hey Marty! 😍. It’s been waaaaay too long. Did you change your handle? Oh my goodness. Good to hear from you. I hope ALL is well with you and your family. I’ll always remember the way you reached out when I was going through! We need to catch up!
Would you consider dying it black, navy or another dark color? I think the twist would look better in a solid color. Another idea: make slashes to create panels and wear it in a shortened version over pants or leggings.
Oooooh la la. Design element advice. I love it! 👌🏾. I too thought about how it would look in a darker color. You may be on to something! Thanks for stopping by!
It's good to see you again! You look fabulous, love your hair! 😊
I have B6893 which also has a twist knot. I made it in bubble crepe and kinda felt the same way you do. So it's not just the fabric. Maybe there is just something about that style...😅
Hi there! Thank you! So good to hear from you. I know right…if it didn’t work for bubble crepe…there may be more to it! Thanks for sharing and thanks for tuning in’. Take care!
So glad to see you. You must be sending out some vibes as I just put this one on the sewing table to cut. Your dress ..the style is nice. The fabric is nice. The fabric was too much for the twist, or the twist was too much for that fabric.. I do feel like if you cut off the skirt n kept the top, it would be a winner. I was gonna use a loop back terry and clearly, that is not gonna work. So now I got to rethink my fabric choice. Thanks for sharing. And as normal, I am laughing bcuz I agree there is no styling something we think is ugly. Always here for you 😊. Keep on keeping on.
Cynthia
Hahaha! Hey Cynthia! Exactly! Something was too much for something! 😂. Oooooh. That’s a good idea! I may try that cuz that neckline is poppin’ 😜. If I could save the top that would be worth it. So glad you have an opportunity to rethink it! Yep. Sending those vibes. We kindred! 🙌🏾. Thanks for being there. That means a lot. I appreciate you! Take care!
@VirginiasDaughterSews I agree tgat neckline is popping. The whole top is fitting perfect. Shame to waste that pretty part....right. 😍
Right! 🤔. T’would be a shame! 😊
Take that twist out and make it a normal seam...love the fabric and I think you can make it better...I like the faux wrap much better than the twist...
Hahahaha! “Take that twist out”…good advice! 👏🏾. Interestingly enough…the faux wrap is really what drew me to the pattern. 🤦🏾♀️. Should’ve stuck with my original plan! Thanks for stopping by!
Lololol. I know it's not supposed to be funny, but he had me cracking up. I know NOT to pick that pattern up. 😅
Hi Zelda! Glad I could help 😂. I'm laughing with you! It's good for the soul. Thanks for stopping by!
You’re right, not a good look! But that fabric would do quite well in a jacket and skirt
Hi Jane. Agreed! Thanks for stopping by!
I like the wrap around modification pattern in stripe fabric for summer holiday wear.
Hi there! That’s the view that actually drew me to the pattern, interestingly enough. Perhaps I shout have gone with that one…🤔🤷🏾♀️😂. Thanks for stopping by!
I agree with @caroler4297 , the dress just isn’t what I have seen as YOUR style. Maybe just have it as a top? It looks good in your talking section.
Consistency is my word this year, too!
Why thank you! I hadn’t even thought about that until @caroler4297 mentioned it! I LOVE you guys! 😍. Great minds think alike 🧐. Somebody say…consistency! 🙌🏾. Always good to hear from you!
I have this pattern also. Actually I think it was one of the first 30 patterns I bought when I started in 2020. I keep flipping past it because of my experience with McCalls 7975- too much going on in that middle section for my body shape. I need to let goof my copy b/c I really don’t see me ever sewing it
He Ms. V. Good to hear from you. 😊 Okay. I just referenced that pattern and I see what you mean. Same thing but on the side. It only takes one time and when you know…you know! 🤓. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for stopping by!
I have made this pattern and I actually liked it. I think I made changes as I’ve made 2 or 3 other twist tie dresses.
Nice! Very nice and good to know. I like the style/idea of a twist tie so maybe I’ll research other patterns! 👍🏾Thanks for stopping by!
I like the dress I think the fabric is too heavy for the pattern. I have that pattern, but I will make a different view. The dress looks good on you, and the fit is perfect.
Hi Mary! You all reminded me that it was the faux wrap view that drew me to the pattern in the first place. Perhaps I’ll try that one after all…🤔. Thank you and thanks for stopping by!
Welcome back! You were missed! Love the dancing and loved the dress.
Hi Ms. Beverly! Thank you! ☺
The bodice is great on you. I don’t like the twist but the pattern and color looks great. Can you remove the twist gimmick?
Hi Jane. Thank you! Good question 😂 …gimmick describes it well! I may need to consider a “transformation”…🤔. Thanks for tuning in!
I love the fabric. The dress fits you well but if you hate it you won't wear it. Any way you can remake it into something else?
Hi Linda. Thank you! Ya’ll got me to thinking. I may have to consider how I can “transform” it 🤔. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey T, it’s so good to see you. Alls well with me, I’m completing 2 unfinished projects. They were both 1960’s coats, that I’m upcycling into 1940’s inspired suits. I’m going to enter them into frugalisima’s sew frugal challenge for this month. I really want to do a video about it but, I need to wait and see. Ok, about your dress, I like it. The fabric is the bomb. I don’t have that pattern, so I wouldn’t have made it. I need no help in the mid section. I looking forward to your upcoming posts.
Hey Stelly! Glad to hear that all is well with you! ! Sounds like you are busy! I would LOVE to see them but if I don't I KNOW you will wear them well! 😎. ALWAYS good to hear from you! Take care!
Sorry about your sweater knit Butterick dress, I guess it's better to "let it go"😢. You've made a valiant effort to salvage the situation. The fit on the neck bodice is nice. I've been chasing that Simplicity 9785 pattern on sale for months but keep missing the sale or they don't have it available 😢. Love what you are doing with the Gucci treatment ! Looks like they are going to be some nice 👖
Hi lunieblue..."valiant effort" makes me feel much better 😊. Thank you! I love the fit around the neck! That's the one thing that worked out! I should have taken a before pic. Oh keep looking...you are going to love S9785. I hope you get it sooner than later. 🙏🏾. Thanks a bunch for stopping by! Take care!
I have missed your videos. They are always entertaining, and your makes are always so well done. You sometimes have different themes for your videos, including finishing old projects, going through patterns, etc., and I like that format. You make me laugh, and I do admire your workmanship. Sorry to disagree with you, but if that's an ugly dress, then I am Emma Stone (and I definitely am not). The fabric is great, and I think the dress looks good on you. But if you pass it along to someone else, I hope she likes it. (By the way, big Ohio State fan here, so I enjoy it when you wear an OSU shirt--which may not appeal to all of your followers, but it does make me happy.)
Hey bawtosu! O-H.... 😍 That's all you had to say. Let me get my Buckeye gear in order! 🤩 You've got great taste in college football! So good to hear from you and thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support. Are you sure this isn't Emma Stone...😂. Take care!
@@VirginiasDaughterSews I-O!
@bawtosu5269 ❤️❤️❤️
Are you kidding? I thought the dress looked adorable on you! And, I really liked how you styled it with the black cardigan and boots! Maybe, give it a week am
Me have a friend or two give their unvarnished opinions. Just saying….❤️
Hi Katherine! Thank you. That’s some sound advice right there! 🤓 Thanks for stopping by!
The dress is figure skimming. Nothing the matter with the style. Beige is not my favourite colour.
Loved the dance! But, I need to correct you, if I may. The past tense of squeeze is "sqwoze" not "sqwuz." 😂LOL
😂. I stand to be corrected then! 😂 Thanks for stopping by!
That fabric color is unflattering to you, and the fabric is too stiff to get a nice flowing knot effect.
Hi lazy! I think you're right about the color. Thanks for stopping by.
@@VirginiasDaughterSews I'm psyching myself up to get back to sewing, watching all kinds of videos to remind myself what I can do.
And I thought ... a softer knit, and a solid mid-tone hue for the checks and that would be a different video.
@lazygardens hey lazy! I get it but honestly…just do it! You’ve obviously got what it takes. Just do it. Don’t search for in others what’s already in you!…and don’t forget to enjoy the process! You’ve got this! 🧵 🪡😎. Take care!
You made me laugh, but I really like your dress and thought it was very handsome/ chic ( but not with the brown vest)
Thanks Monica! Laughing is good for the soul! Thanks for stopping by.
Did you serve in the Navy? I served in the Air Force.
Hey Zelda! My Fellow Veteran! 😎 Army. I remember wishing I had enlisted in the AF instead but wouldn't trade that experience for anything. Glad you mentioned it!
