Thank you so much to ‪@TillyButtons‬ for gifting me a copy of their latest pattern, the Nell dress. I absolutely loved sewing this dress up. It was such a simple and fun sew and I was able to use some thrifted curtains which I'd had in my stash for a while. I hope you enjoy watching this thrift flip sewing vlog!

Love your videos. Just one question-would it be possible to turn the music down a little while you are speaking? It’s a little hard to hear you. Your dress is beautiful. I just ordered the pattern from seeing yours. Thank you so very much for sharing with us. 🩵

Thank you Dory! Hope you enjoy making your Nell pattern 🩷🩷

This dress is great early 90s vibes and I might need one. I had a few dresses like this as a young teenager and wore them until I outgrew them! Now in my 40s, I may need to revisit that ultimate comfort, yet pulled together dress style.

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Oooo yes I thought the same! Very early 90s and so comfy. Definitely the perfect summer make ❤️

@patriciawilliams3006 16 дней назад

Beautiful dress I have purchased the pattern, looking forward to it arriving, not chosen my fabric yet.

@RachelBearn 16 дней назад

Thank you ❤️ ah that’s so exciting! It’s such a great pattern for summer

Lolol. Love the singing.

Hi Rachel, I think the dress suits you. Re the buttonhole function letting you down half way through, that happened to me once. I got the machine manual out and followed instructions to do a deep clean, took the feed dog off and saw a large lint ball just sitting there. It all worked fine after a deep clean up. Worth a try. Thanks for your videos

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Oh thank you! I did actually wonder if that was the issue because my machine is in dire need of a good clean. I will take your advice and give it one!

@heatherbowser3635 Месяц назад

Totally giving me 90's Laura Ashley vibes. Love it!

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Ahh thank you! ❤️

@imamonstr Месяц назад

I just found your channel and I'm in love with your aesthetic and vision for life ! As a mom of 4-- I love the idea of slowing down but they tend to keep me quite busy. I LOVE the idea of a faux bow front ... I might have to make that super soon ! Thanks for sharing your make and excuse me while I go into a deep dive of all your past videos. 😍😁 (Just as a suggestion -- you should make a few playlists of your videos ! BiMonthly roundups, cooking videos, gardening, etc!) So glad to have found you !

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Ah thank you so much! It’s so lovely to have you hear and yes that’s a great tip! I will look into making some playlists 😊🩷

Nice vlog. I'm planning to make the Nell with bows out of cotton poplin this weekend ❤

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

That sounds so lovely!! Happy sewing ❤️

@louiseking9726 Месяц назад

Lovely dress! I’m going to order the pattern, brand new sewer in retirement and excited to try a few things but taking it step by step!

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

That’s so exciting! This is a great first pattern. Take it nice and slow, best way to do it ❤️

@debbiebrannam8252 Месяц назад

Hi Rachel , your dress is lovely and what a bargain for the fabric.❤ I bought the pattern on the day it was released and have some gorgeous Liberty fabric that was a birthday treat to make it in

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Thank you so much. Oooh that sounds so lovely! Liberty fabric is beautiful 😻

@sherioreilly7546 Месяц назад

I’ve just bought some dark green linen look viscose from pound fabric…green gutterman thread and green horn shell buttons. Your vlog has really inspired me to make this dress. I bought the pattern last week, but I’m a bit nervous to start it…as I am a beginner. But seeing it in the flesh has made me really want one.. as the fabric is fairly cheap, it is going to be my wearable twirl. And I’ve always wanted a plain linen prairie style dress, so this pattern is perfect. It looks so lovely on you.

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Sounds like a great plan ☺️ it’ll be lovely! ❤️

@SeamStressedRuth Месяц назад

Hi Rachel 😊 I just love your version of the Nell, that curtain fabric is such a perfect match for it. I’ve made the same version and I am so happy with it. My next one will be in red linen. Will you make it again? Ruth x

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Hi Ruth! Thank you so much ❤️ glad you like the pattern too. I definitely will make it again and funnily enough I was thinking of using some red linen I have! We might be matching 😆❤️

@hoppaheedahoe2581 Месяц назад

I am so curious on how the puffball sleeve is constructed and feels. Will you make that version? And if so, a brief sew along/tutorial/top tips video would be great! I really love Tilly’s patterns but I have so much on my list to sew!

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Yes I am curious too actually haha I will definitely make that version one day and will try to film a sew along 😊❤️

@lizann3058 Месяц назад

So pretty and looks nothing like curtain fabric. Maybe ties each side would pull it in a tad if you're worrying about it being oversized. It looks lovely on you.

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Thank you Liz! I did wonder about that but think I’ve decided to keep it oversized for those comfy days ❤️

@ZeldaSews Месяц назад

Wow! The dress looks absolutely beautiful on you. What size does that go up to on the bust area?

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Thank you ❤️ I made size 7 so think it was a 125cm bust

@ZeldaSews Месяц назад

@RachelBearn is size 7 the largest size. You are much smaller than me.

@theseamstressatthecottage 26 дней назад

Oh my, my 90's teen self just got excited! The dresse looks lovely on you

@CatherineElizabeth728 Месяц назад

Just found your channel, and I love your videos! Lots of inspiration to be gleaned! Question - what pattern is the dress/top in your introduction clip? It's so cute!

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Thank you! So lovely to have you here ❤️ it’s the Pansy dress by Rosery apparel ☺️❤️

@CatherineElizabeth728 Месяц назад

@@RachelBearn I LOVE the Pansy pattern! I should have known haha. Now I simply must make one out of a sewing related printed cotton.

@marywallace5248 Месяц назад

Hi Rachel, I’ve just bought a Nell kit from Jenny Stitches with a gingham cotton. What size did you sew? A couple of folk have said it comes up quite big, did you find that. I love the idea of using a vintage curtain! I think it is going to be my favourite summer dress.

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Hi Mary! Yes I did find it came up big and I think I might size down next time. I do like having a comfy oversized dress though so might trace off the pattern so I can have it in two sizes. It’s going to be lovely in the gingham you’ve bought 😻

@donnamarks9799 Месяц назад

What do you mean by 'stitch in the ditch'? I've heard of it in quilting but never in dressmaking. Lovely dress, your sewing is beautiful. Also, how do you decide what size to make in comparison to buying your normal size on the high street ? X

@RachelBearn Месяц назад

Hi Donna, stitching in the ditch is sewing a line of stitching right inside a seam so it can’t be seen. Probably the same as quilting! Normally it’s done to hold down a facing. Thank you very much ❤️ I always go by my measurements and look at the finished garment measurements and decide which will look best. In this case I went for the size which was bigger then my measurements for that over sized look but next time I might go down a size instead. I never use my high street size as it’s so variable. Always measure with a tape measure for sewing 😊 hope that helps x

@india1422 Месяц назад

I appreciate that you give your own opinion but I always have a chuckle when I hear that a brand did not ask the giftee to talk about their gift. I'm not really a Tilly fan. I buy her patterns and then they just sit unused. I do really like this pattern but I have so many patterns which are basically the same. Still tempted though.
