Sewing Puns are always funny, Angela. Always. I love that you had a second go at this dress, as the original garment that inspired the Ikea dress was made in the city just over the mountain from where I live. Little Upstate Pride going on. The factory now houses small independent artists and businesses (like Aromatherapy, Tea, Pottery, etc) and when you walk the halls, you can see displays of the old machines used or original garments from when the factory was still in operation.
I adore the neckline trim! Such a sweet detail that really brings out your features, in a dress that would otherwise have been fine, but not really memorable. I'm concerned about the triangle buttonholes, because I imagine they would need a ton of ironing every time the dress is washed. Please give us an update how that mechanic works out for you after washing? These are my favorite type of videos that you do, the ones where you let us in on the thinking process behind the sewing. Mere instructions can be found anywhere. Facing problems, dealing with decisions, and compromising on solutions is what home sewing is all about! It's great to know we all have similar challenges, and interesting to see how they are handled.
Angela, I saw your Ikea Curtain dress tutorial ages ago, but I've re-discovered your channel recently, and I love your content so much! You're so well spoken and creative, and I LOVE that you're doing a lot of videos on garments that are meant to be worn on a regular basis. It's inspired me to pick sewing back up!!!
In some of my projects, it takes me a little motivation, but the end result is always what I look forward to. I find your candor refreshing and you are an incredibly talented young lady!
I love how you document the details that will take a garment from good to amazing, like different ways to finish raw edges, when you choose to handstitch things, and experimenting with things like how to do the shoulder ties.
Having worn a dress with an opening like this one has, let me suggest that the buttons might need reinforcing fabric under the buttons. A small circle of something medium weight will do. Or put a waist stay inside to take the strain. Or both. The stress on that fine fabric from your movement will pull holes in the fabric rather quickly. This is like the dresses I remember. SO SWEET and REFRESHING. I think this heat wave is ideal for wearing this dress. Lovely. This one even I am itching to wear, and I don't wear dresses anymore.
I love these sewing vlogs because I rarely watch sewing tutorials to actually follow the instructions and make something, I just like to watch people make stuff and see the progress. Also I really love this dress it’s so pretty 😍
I loved this 1950s style dress it is gorgeous just like the young lady wearing it. You are very talented keep up the great work. I haven't sewn in decades but I admire your skill.
Shaving cream is an amaaaaazing stain remover. Just a little bit on there and gently massage in, sit for a few, then rinse cool. But, I love the "oops" in sewing! It sometimes makes us do things that make the items even more great and unexpected 💖
I think you know but anyway I'm going to tell you. I use a very used and very thin piece of soap to mark patterns and all. That way you will never have to worried about living marks on the finale garment
I've never tried marking with soap. Is there any particular type or brand you would recommend? Are there any cautions you want to give about fabrics it might leave marks on? How do you keep your dots and lines thin and sharp?
Marialla i am a professional tailor and we use wax based chalk and it totally disappear when u hit it with an iron or steam. It comes in square pieces with a sharp edge on either side or it now comes in what looks like a giant crayon that u can sharpen in a pencil sharpener. I wouldnt be without it.😉
MarianaPastran I've always used soap to mark patterns as well. Even though I have tons of tailor's chalk in every color, I still revert to soap. The lines are much sharper and like you said never have to worry about any markings.
You can use hair spray, a dab of rubbing alcohol, or even hand sanitizer with a dry cloth or q-tip to blot the ink out. It's an extreme pain with a lot of ink, like a busted pen, but works great with little marks. I've had many a mishaps with ink so now I just use a yellow crayola washable marker for everything. Comes right in a wash or just a soak. The dress looks really cute especially the button placket
When it comes to markers that can be erased, I can't say enough about Frixion pens. They come in a variety of colors, and mark just like a ballpoint pen, but erase completely with just a little heat, such as from a dryer, an iron, or even a lightbulb. They don't bleed or smear, and are very crisp and easy to see. Good for making notes in a notebook too, like any other pen.
I've done this before and it's just made the marks bigger (although lighter in color) and I didn't want to risk it! I LOVE the wash out pen I use. It rinses out from everything, even after ironing. It's just that it transferred ink from the pattern onto the dress. It would have happened regardless of what marking pen I used!
Angela Clayton an easy and safe way to remove ink from fabric is to soak the stain in a bowl of milk. You might have to rub some remaining ink with the milk, but usually it comes right out after a good soak (I let it soak for several hours, if it's a big stain).
Hi Angela, I really love your videos ! I always watch them while sewing (or unsewing !) and they're really fun, se please keep going ! And I also have a tip for you, for marking fabric : you can use a frixion pen (from the brand pilot) : it says that it can be erased by frixion, but in fact it's heat that makes the ink transparent. So you can use it to mark fabric and then iron it, or if you can't iron the fabric you can use a blow-dryer to heat it up gently and it turns invisible (plus, you can buy that kind of pen in any supermarket and they can be refilled !)
Gathering skirts used to be a pain because my thread frequently broke. I started using button thread on the bobbin. It’s stronger and doesn’t break. The thickness also helps keep the gathers in place better until the final stitching.
I actually really like the waist band on this dress. I think it makes the dress look really cute. Love the fabric and the way you did the shoulder straps!
Could you possibly do a series of videos of some of the hand sewing you do like you did with the hem video? How you see on your buttons, sew down the bias binding, ect. Thank you for all of your lovely content 💚💚💚
This dress is so darn cute! it makes me feel happy! It makes me think of glamourous Hollywood actresses posing in their summer frock or shorts. the headdress is so sweet, i wish you would show how you made that or where you got it from. it adds just the right touch. it reminds of picnics, meeting a date in a cafe, walking in a park eating ice cream...hahaha.
Hi Angela, I love your work. Sometimes glycerin is the solvent for ink (often available at a health food store). You can experiment on a scrap of your fabric with vegetable glycerin, and remove the glycerin with a mild detergent, and rinse and repeat if necessary. You gently apply it a few drops at a time with a soft old toothbrush and gently scrub, then rinse and dry. Also sometimes alcohol (I think it is the 91% Isopropyl) after the glycerin and detergent and rinsing is helpful. When there is more than one component of a stain, it can seem worse after you try the first solvent, but you actually are making progress, you just have to know not to give up. So you would continue with the next solvent. And any stain that is on your work in progress you could recreate on a scrap, before you try anything on the stain on the dress. Good luck, now I’ll watch the rest of the video : - )
Ink stains can usually be removed by spraying it with hairspray or using rubbing alcohol and blotting. (This works even on Sharpies and on regular ink pens, but gel pens require other solvents (google is your friend!) besides hairspray.) I know because I have to wear a white cotton uniform and have had to remove ink stains using this method! Gorgeous dress and I love your videos!
I love this dress. I would love to have a pattern for this. It would make a great vintage pattern for your new collection with McCall's. The material and trim look great and very comfortable.
Hello Miss Angela! while I was at Fabricville, I came across a pattern package...by you. I wanted to say that it was awesome and that I love you videos. Thank you
Hi Angela, great vid & lovely dress; I absolutely love that trim, it's just to-die-for! I agree that your method is quicker than the safety-pin method for turning spaghetti straps, but you might find a loop turner is even quicker, purely because of their length. They're about $5-$10 from haberdashery companies, but I prefer to make my own from a piece of wire. That way, I can shape the loop section more like the eye of a needle & less like a basketball hoop. Love your videos - it's wonderful to watch someone who speaks so clearly, so those of us in other countries can understand :D
The clover brand water soluble pencils are the best! They have a different texture than chalk and don't rub off as easily after accidentally rubbing it.
That dress is absolutely beautiful. Love everything about it... and very flattering on you. For the waist you could maybe incorporate a waist stay instead of a hook and eye for added security. It would keep it safely closed and take some strain of the buttons, too. I think I have seen them in similar designs from that decade in books.
This dress looks gorgeous, I've got some reversible lemon yellow and white stripes (one side candy stripe, the other pinstripe), and I was thinking of making a dress out of them, too :D 3/4 sleeves with small white lace trim, Queen Anne bustline, and a full double-circle skirt, all in the pinstripe, maybe use the candy stripe for an underskirt or lining... I don't know if I'd manage anything near as good as you manage, though! Keep up the good work, I love your videos and all your projects- Alex
Very cute dress. The fabric is adorable. I look forward to all of your projects. Wondering if you have ever used tailor tacks to mark your darts etc instead of marker pens...yes it takes time and there is thread to clean up, but leaves no marks when done. Might be worth the extra effort since your projects are so special.
Penny Welch I was taught tailor tacking way back in the Stone age, and I still use them today. Taught my daughter about them too, but she says they are too much work. Lol 😄
I love your channel! It is so inspiring. Have you ever tried using Pilot Frixion pens for marking your fabric? The ink is erasable on paper but also comes out of fabric when you iron. They are great for lighter fabrics that you can’t use chalk on. Just be sure to test them on the fabric first because they can sometimes leave ghost marks on fabrics like chiffon. I have never had them stain a fabric either.
The problem with the Frixion pens is that the ink doesn't go away, it still is on the fabric. Put the fabric in the freezer for a couple of hours and it will show up again. This means it might not be as wearable for actual clothing. Perfect for quilting though!
I have heard that before, about the ink being returnable by freezing. But how often does one freeze a garment? Even in winter it is worn close to the skin, which keeps it warm enough not to freeze. I've used Frixion pens for years, and cannot say enough good things about them. I've never had a problem with a fabric it wouldn't work well on, both writing and disappearing. Plus they make handy note pens.
Dear Angela, thank you so much for the nice video. What a beautiful dress! Your videos are always inspiring and motivating for me and I love the realness in them :) Have you tried marking your patterns with threat that you lighty stitch in by hand on the places that require marking, like dart ends, notches...? This is a great way to prevent little accidents with markers, pensils or crayons. I know it might seem like more work but in the end you will have a smoother ride and will know that the markings are easily unstitched. I learned this from my teachers in fashion school and have been using it in several workplaces I have been at :)
I love yellow. I also love the ccute jaquard floral trim. I bought some for a dress outfit for me that has a side band of sheer net lined with yellow on the edges. Idk if you understood my.discription of my trim , but I really think it cute. I was just.going to embroider a trim on but now i dont.need.to. oh yeah what I was going to say is ..... I love that fabric and it look soft . Sorry I went on a tangent about the trim. 2nd time watching at.least.
hey angela! i use frixion erasable ball pens for my fabric to mark stuff since they just dissappear when ironed over bc of the heat... maybe that would be easier than watering your patterns all the time and having to wait!
One of the most successful removers for pencil lines is a small amount of water (a few tablespoons) with a few drops of Ivory dish liquid (free and clear, unscented and undyed preferred) and a teaspoon or so of 91% Isopropyl alcohol. Sorry not to have the exact amounts but it’s been a while since I had to use it. Then you gently apply it a few drops at a time (on an inch or two of the pencil line) with a soft old toothbrush and gently scrub, then rinse and dry. It works on many fabrics and rarely needs a second round. Many thanks to the late, great Lyn Piercy, a national prize-winning quilter from San Francisco, for this solution.
This is darling! I need to figure out how to draft a bodice with darts. My latest little sundress is just a pullover style but I'd like to get more fitted like this!
to avoid stains on fabric after marking use Frixon erasable pens. they ink disappears with heat. you can use it on your pattern assuming you won't put heat on the paper.
It would be sew cool to see this dress as a pattern with McCall’s !! I would buy it if you made a pattern for McCall’s ! I am always on the hunt for retro patterns !!
Can you explain the shields you talked about in the bodice? Are they pads? I hate wearing bras with certain pieces and I haven’t heard about this technique.
You're right.. actually I'm very inspired and want to try it, but I don't have normal sewing machine.. I've only got very old one that I don't know how to use.. but my plan is to take it out and still try to make it work..
1950's is my favorite time period. The lemon color is so happy and cheerful.

The triangle placket is so very cute!! On my next skirt I'm definitely doing something like that. Thanks for the inspiration.
Absolutely adorable! You’ll be invited to all the fanciest garden parties 🌸
Such a lovely dress. I'm glad you put the trim on. It elevates the design, making it a bit more special.

Thank you
OH my goodness. I love this dress so much!!! Super wishing I could get a pattern and/or detailed tutorial on it, lol.

Oh, my gosh, how cute is this! I so wish that I was your size, these dresses are just darling on you!!
The clover brand water soluble pencils are the best! They have a different texture than chalk and don't rub off as easily after accidentally rubbing it.
it's winter here and I am so over the cold! Looking forward to spring and summer and making some lovely retro dresses :)
Wow! you look great in yellow.
Beautiful yellow dress

Awesome!i like the 50's dress thanks miss angela
Such a beautiful dress! Lovely job!
Loooove it it’s really cute ! Always a treat to see a new video of your work ! Thank you so much for sharing you inspire me ☺️
Aww what a beautiful dress!
I am pretty new here and love your videos. Would love to see a wardrobe tour of what you have made and wear regularly. Keep up the awesome work!
I wish my procrastination ended up with me making more things to avoid the thing I need to make...
Love how this turned out!
Adorable dress

You’re such a doll and inspiration ❤️
Better than the curtain. I'm into the cooler colors more. So can you consider one in the cool colors in the color wheel.
Yellow is my favorite color!! Angela you look so beautiful girl and you have great talent!! :)
Wow You look so cute in lemon . Very inspiring
I know this channel is all about costuming/sewing/general awesomeness...but please show us your unicorno collection please?!
Ooh I love the ribbon idea! I've had the safety pin method and had it open waaay too many times.
I hate puns sew much. They may seam funny to some but I think they're a pin in the butt.
The Tide pen lifts stains really well and for me never damaged the fabric :)
Love the color
Enjoying your contents!! 💞💝💗💘💓that yellow fabric really goes well with your dress
Hey lady! This dress is sooo cute. Would you be willing to make a video about how you drafted all the details etc?
It turned out beautiful! I love it!
It is really really cute 🤩
I love your channel! It is so inspiring.
Have you ever tried using Pilot Frixion pens for marking your fabric? The ink is erasable on paper but also comes out of fabric when you iron. They are great for lighter fabrics that you can’t use chalk on. Just be sure to test them on the fabric first because they can sometimes leave ghost marks on fabrics like chiffon. I have never had them stain a fabric either.
Created to Create Looking into this asap! Thank you!
The problem with the Frixion pens is that the ink doesn't go away, it still is on the fabric. Put the fabric in the freezer for a couple of hours and it will show up again. This means it might not be as wearable for actual clothing. Perfect for quilting though!

I second this! I love these pens and love how easily they come out. I think they also make a marker that shows up a little more easily.
Dear Angela, thank you so much for the nice video. What a beautiful dress! Your videos are always inspiring and motivating for me and I love the realness in them :)
Have you tried marking your patterns with threat that you lighty stitch in by hand on the places that require marking, like dart ends, notches...? This is a great way to prevent little accidents with markers, pensils or crayons. I know it might seem like more work but in the end you will have a smoother ride and will know that the markings are easily unstitched.

Hi Angela...this dress is awesome and you did a good job sewing it. Keep up the good job. You have so much talent.xoxoo
I really like this dress, it is beautiful as are you!
I love yellow. I also love the ccute jaquard floral trim. I bought some for a dress outfit for me that has a side band of sheer net lined with yellow on the edges. Idk if you understood my.discription of my trim , but I really think it cute. I was just.going to embroider a trim on but now i dont.need.to. oh yeah what I was going to say is ..... I love that fabric and it look soft . Sorry I went on a tangent about the trim. 2nd time watching at.least.
I love your hat/fastenator
hey angela! i use frixion erasable ball pens for my fabric to mark stuff since they just dissappear when ironed over bc of the heat... maybe that would be easier than watering your patterns all the time and having to wait!
Such a pretty dress
Very pretty dress.
One of the most successful removers for pencil lines is a small amount of water (a few tablespoons) with a few drops of Ivory dish liquid (free and clear, unscented and undyed preferred) and a teaspoon or so of 91% Isopropyl alcohol. Sorry not to have the exact amounts but it’s been a while since I had to use it. Then you gently apply it a few drops at a time (on an inch or two of the pencil line) with a soft old toothbrush and gently scrub, then rinse and dry. It works on many fabrics and rarely needs a second round. Many thanks to the late, great Lyn Piercy, a national prize-winning quilter from San Francisco, for this solution.
Beautiful dress
I use a safety pin that's sticky taped shut to avoid the very issue you mentioned.
This is darling! I need to figure out how to draft a bodice with darts. My latest little sundress is just a pullover style but I'd like to get more fitted like this!
to avoid stains on fabric after marking use Frixon erasable pens. they ink disappears with heat. you can use it on your pattern assuming you won't put heat on the paper.
Yellow reminds me of fall or christmas
oh my god Angela you're so adorable I can't handle it sometimes
I may have already seen this video on Patreon but I will watch it again
love the dress
Super cute!
I have vintage pattern, but seen your videos give me inspiration. Love ❤️ your videos.
I would love to be able to sew patterns like you!!!
That looks nice. 😁
It would be sew cool to see this dress as a pattern with McCall’s !! I would buy it if you made a pattern for McCall’s ! I am always on the hunt for retro patterns !!
I LOVE your videos!
Can you explain the shields you talked about in the bodice? Are they pads? I hate wearing bras with certain pieces and I haven’t heard about this technique.
I love how you directly pin your pattern and fabric on your table!! What kind of table is that??? I want one. Also i loooove the dress its so cute!
Trise Perez I can't remember which video she said it in, but from memory it's just pin board foam that she put on top of her normal table 😊
maidenrohina Ohh okay thank you😊
Can you share where you found that gorgeous flower/ribbon trim?
Angela, I love the dress, but also love the little hair piece, too. How did you make that?
Teresa Morgan I believe the hairpiece is actually a hat from her vintage hat collection !
You always looks so beautiful.
OMG that dress is sooo beautiful.. I wish I could sow too.. I love the neckline and how the straps are tied in the bows 😍😍
everybody can sew - it just takes time, practice & a desire to learn. you can do it! :D
You're right.. actually I'm very inspired and want to try it, but I don't have normal sewing machine.. I've only got very old one that I don't know how to use.. but my plan is to take it out and still try to make it work..
Love your sewing and videos
