Am sewing something completely different (a bandana for the dog we just adopted) but I just love to listen to other peope creating while I'm crafting myself🧡

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

You and me both! Happy to keep you company, thanks for watching! :)

@AllTheHappySquirrels 11 месяцев назад

Congratulations on your new family member! 🐾🩵

@prosie1968 11 месяцев назад

You did a really good explanation of finishing the French seam over a split opening. I’ve read it before but could not wrap my head around it. I’ve got it now!

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Oh good! Glad it made sense!

@lavadaroufs 4 месяца назад

I'm in love with that fabric and I missed what it is. You are an excellent instructor - very listener compatible. Thanks for the bias tape stretch tip I like the larger straps as they can hide bra straps

@MsSavvy9 11 месяцев назад

Wow, this video is PACKED with techniques!

@AnnBirchard 11 месяцев назад

Yeah! I've got the pattern and the fabric. Perfect timing! Tip for cutting the bias tape: drape it over the end of your ironing board so you only cut through one-layer. I've ruined a couple of continuous bias tape by cutting both layers.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you , Ann! That is a great tip! I was struggling trying not to cut through the two layers, actually!

@daxxydog5777 11 месяцев назад

I’m stealing that.

@maryegerton6848 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful! That dress is everything! It looks like something you picked up in a fancy overpriced boutique 😊 And that fabric is perfection. Well done! ❤

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thanks!! The fabric really drapes beautifully, such a great find!

@chlomo2618 11 месяцев назад

That's such a pretty colour on you! Looks like that fabric was such a great choice for the pattern.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! That fabric has such a beautiful drape, definitely a Joann Fabrics gem!

@janfranklin2114 11 месяцев назад

❤such a great summer dress. Congratulations on another pattern launch.😊

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, Jan!

@joonmade 11 месяцев назад

Gah! I'm so excited to make this. 🤩 That's a brilliant little trick with the slit finishing with french seams. Such a nice finish! And THANK YOU for the shout out! 🥰 All the bias all the time! 🙌

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

I know you'll do a beautiful job with the pattern! Thank you for making it! And you are so welcome--I had given up on the continuous bias method, until I watched your tutorial!

@jodigarrett6990 11 месяцев назад

Excited again to see your pattern on The Fold Line today.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you!! Me too! :)

@jennydeaville1464 9 месяцев назад

I have just finished a striped version of this beautiful pattern . The first time I have sewed pleats, it is such a classy dress. Thank so so much for the excellent tutorial. I shall be making this pattern again😊

@PatternScout 9 месяцев назад

Oh I'm so glad!! I bet it is beautiful in stripes. Thank you for making it!

@MsChaosbutterfly 11 месяцев назад

I'm making this right now in a vintage viscose-y/cottony fabric. I cut it a little wider than I needed (erring on the side of caution) and ended up adding one more tuck on each side. This worked out for me because I prefer the fuller volume. I also unstitched the tucks on the front bodice so they end three inches higher. I should have realized sooner that I'd do this since I prefer a waist that a little empire-style. But it is an easily modifiable part of the pattern.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Ooh great mods! Thanks so much for making the pattern! :)

@alannarhodes55 11 месяцев назад

I just made this version in a white viscose linen. I had to line it, so i sewed the tucks and then used that as a template for the lining and lined it until the slit. I love how it turned out and sewing the tucks was so enjoyable! ❤

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Ah that sounds gorgeous!! Thank you for making it! Love the idea to line it, so smart.

@blufaerie 11 месяцев назад

I watched the pleats portion of this video with glee. You made the process so accessible for me! I’ve never heard of stretching the bias tape. I’ll have to try it.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Oh good!! Thank you! And the bias tape trick was a game changer for me! 🙌

@christinadore8537 11 месяцев назад

Your new dress was featured on the Fold Line yesterday, and now I have seen your tutorial it is on my definite make list! I love how neatly you finish the inside of your garments.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Yay, thank you!

@carrieh922 11 месяцев назад

I love your patterns so much! You have such lovely style.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! So glad you like them!

@yvettefeyjoo-booth2670 11 месяцев назад

Hi Casey! Purchased your Flora pattern and can’t wait to start it. Thank you for the sew along I’ve never done tucks before so a little apprehensive lol 😀

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! I hope you love it! The tucks aren't too bad at all :)

@Sew_Learning 11 месяцев назад

Your Flora Dress is lovely, an easy sew and suits many body types. Brilliant! Sending best wishes from Down Under 💖🌸🌺💐🇦🇺😎 Now off to your website to buy this beauty ✨

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you!!

@daxxydog5777 11 месяцев назад

Just printed the pattern! Going to work on it this weekend. I’ll update my comment with the results, I have such good luck with your patterns fitting me right “out of the box”. 😂

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Yay! Thank you! That is so good to know!

@katmccrystal 11 месяцев назад

Good Morning Casey! Not sure if you are aware, but your dress was featured on The Fold Line this morning! She loved the design and thought it was "clever." I am looking forward to making this dress! Have a great day.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for letting me know, that's awesome! I hope you enjoy the pattern! :)

@gretchenw2613 10 месяцев назад

This is a beautiful summer dress. You should draft this into a romper pattern, it would be equally cute ❤

@jenniferrich5292 11 месяцев назад

I absolutely love this, kept thinking about it after you posted, and bought the pattern last night. I want more shoulder coverage (personal preference) so I’m going use my own bodice block to add a scoop neckline and shoulder seams. Your finishes are always outstanding, and I love the way you sewed the side slits. I learn so much from your channel🥰

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Ah thank you so much, I appreciate that! I love your hack idea for more coverage!

@barbarameeker7986 11 месяцев назад

@user-xj1jy3mf4d 9 месяцев назад

@tianleong4506 11 месяцев назад

Good tip to sew the straps as a backup for them coming untied

@brendawyber6556 11 месяцев назад

Just watching your video. I do love the dress, but am afraid it is just a bit young for me. But your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. I love listening to you explain everything. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. ❤️❤️❤️

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! :)

@daxxydog5777 11 месяцев назад

I’m curious as to why you think it’s “too young” for you? I’m in my 60s and it’s a pretty basic dress, not tightly fitted or anything. You could always add a shelf bra or wear a strapless bra if needed. Now the “milkmaid” dress, puffy sleeve trend right now is definitely too young for me!

@brendawyber6556 11 месяцев назад

@@daxxydog5777well my boobs have just gone too far south, and I have tried, but still not found one that is comfortable and holds the girls up nicely, but thanks for the comment. Have fun sewing

@brendawyber6556 11 месяцев назад

A bra that fits & is comfortable. 😂😂

@libbykilpatrick1578 11 месяцев назад

Casey I have waited so long for this dress....and shared the tutorialwith all my friends. Fantastic pattern!!!!

@seamsuneven7824 11 месяцев назад

Casey I don't usually like dresses but this is gorgeous! Do you get all 3 in the one pattern? Thanks

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Honestly, this dress has turned me into a "dress person" haha. I wear it so much. And yes, all three versions come in the same pattern. :)

@karolmolpus9536 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful dress 👗 ❤❤❤

@Tillypants19 10 месяцев назад

Love the pattern, Casey - especially for the shorter (top) version - I will definitely give it a go! I've also been meaning to ask you where you got the earrings you're wearing in this video - they are very chic! 🙂

@PatternScout 10 месяцев назад

Thank you!! I got those earring from a handmade business called Kerij Jewelry. Love them! havekerij.com/

@julianachandler2975 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful dress.

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@beverlyrund8488 11 месяцев назад

Great video as usual! I’m also curious as to the bibs you are wearing. Are they a me made or ready made? You look so good in them!

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I did make those, they are McCalls 7547 (I modified them to have an elastic waist).

@beverlyrund8488 11 месяцев назад

And I’d love to see either a review with mods or a sew along please.

@menezesj8 11 месяцев назад

Oh! Can you please do a sewalong to the Nellie Joggers? I’ve had the pattern in my cart but haven’t jumped to purchase because trousers scare me!

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

That one has been on my list to do a video for so long! I've been enjoying my Nellies so much this season and really need to get a sewalong up here (thanks for bumping it up in my brain!). I have a written sewalong with photos on the blog as well: patternscoutstudio.com/blogs/nellie-joggers-shorts-sewalong

@susankidd9963 11 месяцев назад

It’s just lovely well done I think the longer length broad strap would be ok for me as I am an older gal😂

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Yes, the broad strap is much more bra friendly, which I also like!

@aml66 11 месяцев назад

Great tutorial, Casey! I purchase the pattern the day I received the email. The continuous bias tape is a new technique for me. Question, what is the brand of the mini steam iron you use in this video? Thanks!

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

Thank you, Am! I think that little iron is a Dritz...it is so handy and I love it. I bought it for travel, but sometimes i actually prefer it over my big iron.

@AllTheHappySquirrels 11 месяцев назад

What fortuitous timing - I'm currently between projects and some delicious handkerchief linen was just delivered. I would be a fool to ignore these signs 😅

@PatternScout 11 месяцев назад

I will not argue with that! 🤣❤
