DRAPING WITHOUT A MANNEQUIN | Recycled Bedsheet Dress 

April: Draping on yourself is difficult, you should consider getting a dress form. Micarah Tewers: Just lay on your fabric and trace yourself. Don't overthink it

I was NOT expecting to like a dress made from bedsheets as much as I like this! That peplum detail took it to another level!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! I've been letting the fact that I don't have a dress form keep me from practicing basic draping. I have officially run out of excuses after watching this! Thank you so much!

What a coincidence, I'm currently attempting to gain experience in making a sweetheart dress, I'm using a bed sheet and no body form! 😅 Thanks for all the tips in this video!

That dress in the background in intro is so gorgeous

Lol love the matching mask. That’s the fashion of the future.

Supercute dress! Will there be a „how to use a dressform“ for beginners? 🙂

I love how your dress came out and I really appreciate the tips on how to drape without a dress form. I hope you’ll consider doing more videos without a dress form!

OMG AND IT HAS POCKETS...she literally makes it look so easy

the mask sends but its really cool how you use your platform to inspire other to helping fight the virus too! All my respect and much love from Germany ❤️

Omg I have these sheets. I’ve had them since I was a kid. Had the whole bed set!

The whole making a dress from a bedsheet reminds me of the movie enchanted!

The face mask at the end was a sobering reminder. 😩 I’ve been sewing like crazy the past couple of weeks.

Hi from Argentina 🇦🇷... I love this DIY!! The print of the fabric is really cute, and I love the design of the dress.. thank you for making a dress without using a mannequin!!

Gorgeous Dress, You are a true talent. Your idea would also make a Super Cute summer top without the skirt. LOVE the pockets. I like how the stripes are going side to side while the dress stripes are up and down. Very Cute, Well Done.

I have these pillowcases in my airbnb! They are such a soft cotton and cute pattern, they make a lovely sundress!

Can you do a series that’s like upcycling wish dresses or something lol 😂 we’ve all be caught out with the “what I thought I’d get vs what I got” lol and where best to start then with wish dresses lol 😂 x

Thank you April! 💕 This is such a great video especially for those of us who are in fashion design and have to complete our assignment at home without a mannequin! I personally just flat patterned everything since that is the best way but I still found your video very helpful and entertaining ❤️

Very cute. With all the prints on sheets anymore, they can be a cheap alternative to make so many things. I use to make curtains and comforters, etc from them. It was fun.

Wow so cute. Gone with the wind movie from curtains, and now the bed sheets. Adorable !

Thank you so much for explaining this in a way that's easy to understand 💗 love this 1950s inspired dress you made.

I just trace pattern pieces out of clothes similar to what I’m trying to make and hope for the best lol. I drape made pieces on me and just keep adjusting as I go. I want a proper dress form so bad

Would love to see you create a dress with hidden pockets on the sides.

I was JUST asking someone how to do this. You’re a lifesaver, thank you!! 😭

I live alone and have no dress form. This is really helpful!

this dress is ADORABLE!!!!

This girl is a mechanical genius!

Very pretty! It got spring-summery vibe. 😊

Sheets make great garments. And this one is perfect for the style of the dress. I wasn't going to like the peplum but as it turns out I do. And the great big pockets. You're wearing it well. I doubt I could make a garment this well even with a form.

Reminds me of a "book" I wrote about 30 years ago : "Rip and sew " by Helen Durow ❤🌻❤

I love the peplum part of the dress...it made it so unique...love the video!!!

Can’t believe yours in the only draping on a person rather than a dress form video I found. I can’t see the point of draping on a form, if a person has the same measurements as a dress form they can easily use commercial patterns. It’s where a person is quite different that draping should come into its own. The challenges were more for you as you were doing it on yourself rather than a friend but that is the reality of being a home sewer. Pls make more videos like this one.

Looks fantastic. Once again you demonstrate your talent and style.

Thanks this was so awesome! This helped me make my first ever dress out of an old bedsheet!!

This is by far my favorite outfit you’ve created! So pretty!!!

Wow, I've never seen a bed sheet look so pretty! What a beautiful dress! You are very talented! The details are great... the pleated side pockets, ties in the front and the peplum!!!!🤩

Omgerd, so cute. Everything you do is adorable.

*Random comment for today* : A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it. The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because the said it looks pretty worn out.” The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old car.” The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, it's an iconic car and sought by many collectors” Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you......Never stay in a place where no one sees your value. Never! Anyways have a good rest of your day

The peplum addition is amazing! The whole dress has a vintage feel, super nice!

I love it so much. You always make it look so easy but keep it honest at the same time. I've been watching you for a VERY long time and you've came so far. You continue to inspire so many peole every single day to do what they love! Keep it up April, you're changing lives. Stay healthy and take care.

What a gorgeous dress you made. I wish I could find sheets that pretty to make into clothes. I love that you also made a matching face mask.

That's the cutest dress! it fits you nice too and i know it's hard to do that. The pockets were a nice touch, if I make dresses like that, I'll have to keep the pocket idea in mind.

Omg that pattern is to DIE for!! And the cut of the dress really compliments it. Love this one. Good job, April!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much. I'm not really good at the math portion or understanding the patterns, so this helps so so much.

Thanks a lot I was trying to make a princess Seam top or something out of leftover fabric but it’s so hard to adjust patterns without having a strong understanding of the technical drawings It’s so much easier to drape it on yourself and just draw on it

-I love your channel, it inspired me to start my own. Thank you so much and I wish everyone who is reading this has many blessings💕.

I Loved it. I don't know how to sew yet. But I absolutely love watching your videos. I've been following for a while now. Love you April! ❤

I've been sewing masks like crazy, too! Not as fast as I'd like, isn't that just the way? I'm glad to see you doing it also. We all have to do our part!

Really great conceptual on how the princess seams are formed and come together.

The pattern of the sheet makes such pretty dress omg

This is absolutely amazing!!! I don't get how anyone would thumbs down this video let alone over 100!!!! The world is full of jealous people and that's what's wrong with the world today.

This is so unique. You are indeed God gifted. Awesome!!!!👍

I have seen every video you have ever made. I enjoyed this one so much. It was methodical, pace was perfect to follow along and It was so relaxing. Music was 👍🏻. You seemed relaxed ! Great job and thanks for helping all of us be better sewers. Love ❤️ your channel !

There it is. I've been waiting for this ever since face masks were becoming mandatory. Pretty flowery face masks!

I love it specially the ruffled peplum, the pockets I could do without.

Very nice. So creative. I really like watching you work, as you create from scratch. You have wonderful skills. You've been blessed with a great gift. Thanks for sharing.

Well done! That looked awkward but you managed to do it! I love that you used a thrifted bed sheet!

This is adorable, April! Thank you for teaching us, I have been wanting to drape for years!

It's incredibly cute on you!!

You are incredibly talented and creative! What a beautiful dress!! 💜

Love the dress and the last touch at the end with the face mask. Fashion masks are going to be the new norm!

I looooove the matching face mask. I really want to do this now; matching face masks with your clothing and treat it as another fun and beautiful accessory. I think i really wouldn't mind wearing one when i go out that way. It'll just be part of a beutifully put together outfit

There There's something very 40's-ish about this dress and I really like it. You look like a Farmers daughter from an old american folk story. Super cute.

So cute like modern 50's house wife vibe but the cool mom all the kids want to be around... Awesome and thank because I don't have a dress form

One thing I really like about the idea of sewing for myself? Those pockets. Those pockets are to die for. I want those pockets on everything that I own.

amazing and really sweeeeeet dress! this bedsheet will have a wonderfull new life! colour suits you beautifully and the mask is adorable "compliment"! Love this look so much!

Your dress looks just amazing Plus those pockets bow and peplum

This is so cute and you are very skilled and creative. thanks for sharing!

This dress is a dream!!

Honestly your creative ideas make sewing so fun and much easier! ♥️

You are so good at teaching how to make the dress you're making! And of course, the dress looks amazing.

I love that dress 😍 wish i could do something as pretty as this. Right now I have 4 days experience with sewing- usually face masks for my family.

I would have added the ruffle at the bottom and made it knee lenght This looks super cute. And I love the pockets

That just couldn't be cuter. I love it, and your creativity. 💛

Cute! Wouldn’t have known it was a bed sheet 😂

Amazing instructional. And love the thrift up with a nice printed bed sheets. My male option is overalls!!!! Thanks for the tips, April!!!

I love the waisted ruffle &side pockets were my favorite parts! The whole design is adorable!

Dear April, thank you so much, for sharing your talents with us!.....May God Bless you!!

I'm always used to flat patterns since I don't have my own dress form. This shows a whole new perspective for me 😌

I love your channel miss coolirpa 😊 I’m inspired to pursue and develop my skills in sewing.. God bless!

That is a super cute dress. This is a dress I would wear.

It’s so cute! Can you also explain how to draft a pattern without dressform and draping? Just with a measuring tape and paper?

50s vibes, so cuteee

You’re so talented it’s unreal
