I have never heard an explanation about lining up your pattern pieces with in your available fabric that made so much sense. Thank you for the inspiration to do a better job with pattern matching and working with the correct grain line
Ugh you are a gift! I’m new to sewing and I want my pieces to look and feel more well made, and I haven’t been able to find instructional videos that explain underlining/muslin in a way that I can understand! Until I found this series, of course! Also your voice is so nice I think it makes it easier to follow along to the instructions lol
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your progression on your couture dress. Your fabric is SO gorgeous! You make a great teacher and I look forward to following along with your sewing journey!
Bless your heart Paige, I hope you aren't too disappointed with the length being shorter. I am sure this dress is going to be beautiful. I love the fabric and the skirt looks pretty long. Great video.
This made me laugh! I looked at it for a very long time and put it away for the night. Then undid all the pins the next morning and repinned it. I'm committed to this project.
This is so helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to document the process. It really helps novice seamstresses like myself get our heads around good habits when sewing (:
I didn't know how to do lining, so I literally cut out two pattern pieces of each, then stitched the lining piece together with the fabric! This looks far more accurate, lol. Also helpful for managing absurdly slippery fabric like silk and satin.
Hello paige, thank you so much for this step by step tutorial on how to make couture dress! I finished mine yesterday and I am excited to share it with you. I don't know if you have instagram, but if you have I will tag you. Thank you so much Paige, I owe everything from you. More powers to you and God bless. ❤️🇵🇭
@@PaigeHandmade This is true for historical sewing as well! It may seem counterintuitive for many today, but throughout history, dress pins were more used for, well.. getting dressed. Like front closures on dresses/jackets and pinning on interchangeable (and often reversible) sleeves. Trying to hand sew something like a fitted Herjolfsnes dress with all those narrow side panels using pins instead of basting might actually cause one to bleed out long before the garment is ever finished. Not to mention stays, giant petticoats or anything made from boiled wool. Sorry for the unsolicited TEDtalk, and thanks for a very enjoyable video. I appreciated the thorough explanation, and your voice is quite pleasant, which was a nice bonus.
So often fabric is supplied with such uneven cut edge. Can be disastrous as you have found.....I am inclined to send back fabric in future if bought online....as it means I can so often not work with the fabric because it was cut so very badly....grrrrr
An uneven cut edge can be fixed as I explained in this video, as long as you have enough fabric. In this case, I bought the remaining fabric from the tube at mood and swatches had been cut from it for customers; which is totally normal. I asked for more fabric but they rolled it out and it was less. I accepted it and knew I could make it work. A bit of creativity and adjustments was all I needed.

I added extra length from the start in case I needed it. Turns out I did. I am not disappointed. It will turn out as it should.
7:55 the point at which one usually puts the project away and it never sees the light of day again!

This is actually really nice unintentional ASMR! And this is also amazing work! I love the fabric too!

I'm so glad you appreciate it! Thank you for letting me know. Yes, good habits are best formed early.
Nice to see these attention to detail standards on utube....thank you. More please .... x

Your knowledge is so appreciated! Thank you for all the tips throughout this series!
Your video is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so very much for your efforts and detail.
Awesome! I am so glad I found your channel. I have several items I will be underlining. You have made it much more simple! Thank you!
Very beautiful job , thanks for sharing
Love the teaching, what type of machine are you using?
Brilliant great video thank you
MARAVILHOSA..........INCRÍVEL........
How do you choose the quality of underlining to use?
Pick something that is similar to the main fabric.
Wouldn’t it be enough to tear along the grainline instead of unpicking the fabric?

So exciting! Congratulations! 👏 Yes, I am "Paige Handmade" on Instagram too. Can't wait to see.
Did you baste the darts?
Yes, for couture, baste everything.

I love learning, thank you. One comment, the music playing while you are talking is a little much for me. I prefer just your voice.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the music with me.
