The absolute cutest moment was when you and your sweet baby were both looking into the camera with such trepidation. You can't make that happen..that was so special.
You did an excellent job contructing that dress. You should be very proud of your accomplishment. You learned your patience and commitment to finish a task from someone and it shows. Great job!!❤❤❤❤❤
Your dress turned out beautiful. I do exactly as you mentioned; I walk away from a project, when it becomes overwhelming. Then, in a few days, I can go back to the project, with a fresh outlook, and the project just seems to fall into place, every time. Enjoy your dress. Looking forward to your next video.
Your dress is beautiful and worth all the effort (and frustration). Thank you for showing a "real" process and how your patience helped make a lovely garment.
I love this dress and the sleeves. I especially like the position of the elastic mid sleeve --it really complements the waistline. Excellent work--thank you for sharing!
Your dress is beautiful!!! I love your videos, when you take something so nice, and make it into something very beautiful. Looking forward to your next upcycle video.
it looks awesome, I love the sleeves! When I get stuck almost at the point of throwing it out, I actually take a break like you did but then I come back 'dressed as though I was ready to wear it' .. ie, do my hair, shoes, makeup etc as though I was about to toss on the outfit & head out the door. I find that helps as I'm normally sitting sewing covered in threads, cooking dinner at the same time and supervising arguing kids so if I come back ready to rock the outfit then I find my mind is in a better headspace!
Thank you so much for this video! Im so grateful you showed both ups and lows in this project. Its making me not feel so lonely when I look at the dress on my dess, halfway done.
I am just a few minutes in to this video and my mind is blowwwwwn, because I have this *exact* sheet in my stash, that I thrifted 3 weeks ago, specifically to make a DRESS! …. ah, serendipity, you are a sweet damsel! 💙💙💙
Wow really! I bought this sheet a few years back and have had it sitting on my shelf for the longest time. Knew I wanted to use it for something but finally came up with a design that I thought would work well with it. It’s so soft too.
Thank you for including footage of your thought process journey…I do this all the time!! Do I love it??? Do I hate it? Zipper or no zipper? Long sleeve or no? Is it spectacular or do I look like an out of date fool?
.......As opposed to that moment when your date is picking you up in 2 hours and you just completed the absolutely perfect zipper installation only to discover it is PERFECTLY upside down! Yes...that was my zipper nightmare and it had been 10 years since a zipper caused me any concern.
I really enjoyed this video. I was very relaxing yet entertaining. From one seamstress to another... Your dress turned out lovely. 😊 I recently made a 2-piece dress from a sheet and look forward to repeating the experience. HAPPY SEWING!
Thanks I liked that look too but I was trying to stay to my original sketch. Maybe I’ll make another in the future with the sleeves and the fitted waist 👍
Lovely dress. I glad that you decided to continue with long sleeves, they came out beautiful❤ the hole dress was beautiful, am sure you will shine at the wedding. Than you for sharing yhis experience.
I love your dress!!! Blue is one of my favorite colors. Kudos to you for sticking with it I think I would have given up. Great job!!! Love the sleeves too
Always love a puff sleeve and double elastic was great for this dress! 😻 Admittedly I was unsure what exact sleeves you’d end with when you first sent the dress but knew you’d figure it out 🙌🏻
Lovely results! I sew with thrifted sheets, curtains, tablecloths and even tapestry. I too have played the thread game with my serger. I've won many times by tying on a new spool to the old spool. YEHAW when it works. Maybe you can too. New subscriber.
Haha thread chicken is always a risky game to play :) gotta love sewing with second hand sheets. I’ve also made couch cushions and pillows for my outdoor furniture out of curtains and they held up so well. Thank you for subscribing ❤️
Argh! I am watching you deciding what to do right now. It is hard because I cant tell you. Get rid of those sleeves and make half puffy ones. Put the ties on and a strap across the shoulders. It will be adorable. P.S.: Okay, I see what you've done there. I looks great! love the sleeves.
About the width of a queen sized flat sheet haha. Didn’t seem to measure that out. I usually just measure for length and gather up as much fabric as I can muster for ample fullness.
Can't hear this... My volume is up as far as it goes. I can hear the narrative though. Love the blue and white bedsheet! Added:. Your baby is adorable. I applaud you for being able to continue your sewing and such with young ones underfoot. I never had children, but many animals and can't imagine how much more everything children require from us. Time, love, patience, when your tired, frustrated... It's all (emotions) multipled when it's your children needing you. The dress looks soooo pretty with, and without the sleeves. I agree that stepping away is the best way sometimes, to deal with the parts when you're not sure how to proceed. I do this all the time. Which probably explains why I have so many hobbies and projects. It's also hard to make clothes for ourselves because we just can't reach and see parts (sides and backs). Anyway... This is going to turn out just fine, despite setbacks and frustration. Sewing can be so...🤬😫😕😑🙃🙂😏🤪 . lol. 💃
@@brookedweller I hate to complain. I was a bit cranky... Lol. It can't be easy filming what you're doing. It just takes time to get proficient. Lord knows if I filmed myself it would be a sheetshow...😳😆😁. What's great is that we crafty types can understand the frustration and relate. I appreciate you being so open in that respect. Sew inward little sister (I'm an elder.. )
I wish I could but I found it years ago at the thrift store. I always keep my eye out for large bedsheets like this. They are usually 100%cotton and so soft
Crazy, eh? I watch a gal on TH-cam who sells her paper patterns for $45. And they're so simple/basic. If you're in USA, it'll cost as much at JoAnn if you don't hit the sales...

Thank you so much :) and yes the separation is definitely needed when I get into those ruts
Great job sticking to it - definitely worth the outcome!!!!!
I Love thrift shopping gor fabric!
Your dress is beautiful and worth all the effort (and frustration). Thank you for showing a "real" process and how your patience helped make a lovely garment.
Thank you :) most of my sewing process is very experimental but perseverance is all a part of the journey haha
I appreciate the day of despair. Glad I am not the only one!! And beautiful dress, perfect for a wedding!
You are definitely not alone ❤️thank you
This is the exact dress tutorial i was looking for.
Look beautiful and very comfortable!
I love this dress and the sleeves. I especially like the position of the elastic mid sleeve --it really complements the waistline. Excellent work--thank you for sharing!
Cute Baby didn't look too impressed. But, dress turned out just fine in the end. Well done.

Thank you so much :)
It turned out absolutely beautiful! Good job!
Thank you:)
Beautiful dress!
you would never know it was thrifted fabric, I luv it.
Thank you:)

Oh definitely. Trying it on with hair and makeup helps the whole picture come together.

Gorgeous!
This is so cute!
I also liked the no sleeve version so sweet
Cute!😊
Your dress is beautiful!! Awesome job!!
Your dress turned out beautiful! Sometimes you just have to walk away for a while and come back to it with fresh eyes! The sleeves are gorgeous!
Truely. Time apart is definitely needed when I get to those funks ❤️
The finished product is so beautiful. Glad you stuck with it!
Really wish I could sew like that it takes talent
a lot of years practice but you just have to keep trying ❤️
Awesome work!!! 👏👏👏😍
What a great example you set and it looks really lovely on you, very femenine - love it!
Thank you so much :)❤️
🤗💃good job
Gorgeous, it looks great on you
This came out amazing, love those sleeves so much and the pattern suits the style so well
Thank you:) so happy with how they turned out. I’ll have to make something with this sleeve pattern again.
These fabrics are just so pretty! and the pattern that you used is really nice! 😃
Thanks. Thrifted bedsheets and a self drafted pattern are what I like best :)
Turned out lovely
Take a deep breath and do something that makes you smile so sweet
This dress is delightfully pretty!
Thank you ❤️I’m very happy with it
Thank you for including footage of your thought process journey…I do this all the time!! Do I love it??? Do I hate it? Zipper or no zipper? Long sleeve or no? Is it spectacular or do I look like an out of date fool?
This is such a pretty dress ♥
Love it! It turned out just fabulously ❤
That moment of happiness when you realize you don't have to put in a zipper 😂❤
Exactly. I try to avoid it when possible ❤️
@@brookedweller 😅. I've not seen any zippers yet but when I do, I hope all.goes well😊
😊
Right !?!?!
.......As opposed to that moment when your date is picking you up in 2 hours and you just completed the absolutely perfect zipper installation only to discover it is PERFECTLY upside down!

I really loved the sash. It would compliment the medeiva-inspired sleeves and give more definition to the waist.
Thanks I liked that look too but I was trying to stay to my original sketch. Maybe I’ll make another in the future with the sleeves and the fitted waist 👍
Lovely dress. I glad that you decided to continue with long sleeves, they came out beautiful❤ the hole dress was beautiful, am sure you will shine at the wedding. Than you for sharing yhis experience.
Thank you:) I’m really glad with how it came out
It looks so good!
Hi! The result is fantastic! The sleeves really put the whole thing together 👏
Thank you I think so too :)
It’s gorgeous. Love the sleeve variation.
Thank you:)
I love your dress!!! Blue is one of my favorite colors. Kudos to you for sticking with it I think I would have given up. Great job!!! Love the sleeves too
Thanks I’m glad I stuck with it too:)
I watch rosery apparel. Love how simple her dresses are.
I love the final version and also the sleeveless version too, but I do understand that it's cold outside. Really pretty fabric too.
Thank you :) yes the sleeves were necessary. It was freezing at the beginning of March. Rained that day too ☔️
Yes the sleeves were necessary ☔️early March rain was chilllllly
I love the sheet fabric. I would want to use it gir a dress too❤
I love how it turned out 😍
Brilliant!
Very cute!
Well done it’s beautiful.
Such a sweet dress . Your very creative .
Thank you :)
The dress is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your process

Great success! What a cute and well executed dress.
I think it would look great with some lace-ups in the back.
Beautiful ❤
So beautiful! 😍 Great job!
Thank you :)
Спасибо
I love the dress on you. It is stunning! I have a simplicity pattern almost identical to yours. Good job.
Thank you :) I usually just draft my own patterns but I would like to get into using a lot of the patterns I have stashed
Loved the dress and loved your process! Bravo!!❤️
Thank you ☺️
Thank you :)
It is very beautiful :)
Always love a puff sleeve and double elastic was great for this dress! 😻 Admittedly I was unsure what exact sleeves you’d end with when you first sent the dress but knew you’d figure it out 🙌🏻
Thanks kinda a trust the process situation and thankfully I did ❤️
Beautiful dress! Love the sleeves

I just came across you and have now subscribed 😊
Thank you so much :)
your dress turned out well. I can't wear that style as it looks too 'maternity' on me as a shorter person :)
Très jolie robe ❤❤❤❤
Merci❤️❤️
❤❤❤

Lovely! Waiting the next video! Soy la subs numero 51 :D saludos desde México!
Thank you so much ❤️
Great job! The final sleeve choice is fantastic. Did people love it at the wedding?
Yes I got quite a few compliments at the wedding:)
Love your blouse from 2:33-2:47.... can you point to a pattern thereabouts?
That’s actually a thrifted blouse I found a few years back. I’d love to recommend a pattern but I don’t have one :(
How much fabric do we need for skirt part?
About the width of a queen sized flat sheet haha. Didn’t seem to measure that out. I usually just measure for length and gather up as much fabric as I can muster for ample fullness.

yes, I found that the music sometimes drowned out the voice
thread chicken!
Can you please post a link for the floral fabric?
the floral fabric was a thrifted bedsheet - she says as much at the beginning!
I wish I could but I found it years ago at the thrift store. I always keep my eye out for large bedsheets like this. They are usually 100%cotton and so soft
The pattern is 35$???
Crazy, eh? I watch a gal on TH-cam who sells her paper patterns for $45. And they're so simple/basic. If you're in USA, it'll cost as much at JoAnn if you don't hit the sales...
What's a Dutch angle? 😂 I mean, why is it called like that specifically?
It’s a term they use in movies and camera shots where the angle of the camera goes diagonal. Usually implies something intense or obscure haha
@@brookedweller that's so interesting! I've never heard of it. Not even after moving to the Netherlands 😁
