(Family consumer science) 💖🤗👩👦👦👦

Thank you for for giving very clear, understandable patterns and clear instructions. I've watched a LOT of sewing videos over the last few days, and your is the best I've seen so far.

I believe it’s better to sew the placket to the gathered bodice with the gathers face down so that the feed dogs move the gathers along smoothly. This works for me.

Thank You, Rooney Sewing Patterns 🧵your dress design is cute!

How lovely!

I finished the dress today. I added zippers to the pockets. That was a challenge since I haven't done that in years. Many thanks for the beautiful dress and directions. Enjoy your videos.

So, i've watched your video and saved it to make it when I came across the right material. I thrifted a very beautiful white cotton curtain with a hombre effect bluish flowers across bottom and i had to do it. I didn't cut in half i used the with for front and back bodice and cut top of curtain for the shoulder straps and chest placket. It turned out so beautiful. I'm so proud of myself. I'm a begginer sewer 😊. I made chest placket 12 inches and it's a bit loose under the arms, so next one w be 10 inches. I'm a size 10 but i use 12s or 14s for a looser fit and the dress ended up as a 14ish. 😊😊 Thank you so much❤ Looking thru my fabric stash to make more ❤😂 and more shower curtains when thrifting.

I really love this comfortable dress 🩶🩶🩶🩶

Buying sheets is such a great idea! I do it sometimes, too. This dress is perfect! I am, totally in love with it! Thank you for the video!

Love this style for a nightgown.

My grandmother taught me to pull out a long string ,bobbin and top thread.then zig zag st over the thread and walla you have perfect gathering every time

I love the pleats at the bottom! Great tutorial

Your creation turned out beautifully and the fabric was perfect for lounging. Great job.

Thank you for this tutorial. A lovely dress in a gorgeous colour 🧡

Спасибо! Я обязательно попробую сшить! 😊🌷🌷🌷

Just sewed this lovely dress and I struggled with the turn up. So I made another and did the turn ups on the flat before sewing side seams together. So much easier for my brain. I also added pretty external pockets which I love. Thank you so very much for all the hard work that I know goes into creating a garment and then filming for utube. Excellent work and a joy to watch you create. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Bellissimo nella sua semplicità! Complimenti

Gracias! Tus tutoriales me encantan porque hacer ver la costura como algo fácil, descomplicado y divertido! Felicidades!

What a greaf tutorial..Thank you so much

Hl, how can something so simple be so pretty too. Thanks for sharing. Am going over to your page to check out other videos. Your talk through was also good, no rush, no unusual word, easy to follow alone. Perfect

Thank you for sharing this wonderful dress pattern

I have these white linen curtains that would be perfect for this! Might need to line it but still! Wish I’d seen this before sewfrugal!!

So cute!

Wow, I have just thought of what I can do instead if cutting off the bottom of a long dress, I can do your layer idea instead. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge with us and hello from Queensland Australia. 😊

BRILLIANT idea for a dress from cotton/ linen table cloth Finished dress looks simply adorable and comfortable... Thanks so much for sharing...👍👏❤️💖💝🌹🥰

I made it! Sew easy ;) Thank you so much for this video.

Precioso vestido!!!

I love this dress, I will make one soon. Try the bias tape maker along with the iron for the straps, it's so much easier.

this is very pretty

I Love This!!!! It just gives the feeling of Beauty that connects with Nature!!!

Gorgeous ❤

❤I LOVE IT ❤

So beautiful. If I can find a white linen sheet and dye it to that sage color, I’d be really happy 😁

Me gusta el vestido XL

I have a beautiful sheet & I don't have the bed for it anymore. NOW I know what to do with it 😊❤

جميل

I love this! I was wondering if there was a simple way to add sleeves to this?

Sou Eliza esse vestido é lindo esse é meu estilo à cara do meu país Brasil 😅

Спасибо всё так мило 💋💋

I have fallen in love with this dress, it is my project right now! I need you to help me with the armhole pattern. when printing the pattern it comes out small. How can I print it? Or how can I get my armhole out? Thank you!!

❤

the music is fine

I would add pictures of my make if it were possible, following your instructions. 9 Surprising Health and Wellness Benefits of Linen #1 - It's ultra-hygienic. #2 - It's anti-static. #3 - It's antibacterial. #4 - It may help to stimulate healthy blood flow. #5 - It's very breathable. #6 - It's eco-friendly. #7 - It's long-lasting and very durable. #8 - It's odor-resistant. Wait! There's more!

❤❤❤❤

Made tops like this in the ‘60s out of pillowcases…

Nice

🌷🕊great!

This is my night dress😁😁

Subbed

This is such a great tutorial and I can't wait to make this for myself. Just curious, I have a large bust and have to wear a bra. With that said, should I increase the size of the placard to the same width as straps I need to have a more uniformed look or would it be fine as it? And thank you so much for sharing this!

How do you download slip dress pocket pieces and armhole pieces?

What would be the best fabrics to use for this gorgeous dress please?

How do we get the pattern pieces for the armholes? The tutorial pdf has then mini. How much do I expand it to print? Thanks!

Beautiful dress! Would there be a simple way to make the straps thicker to make the dress more modest on top? Or would that end up throwing everything off?

I’m just cutting out my fabric now and have a couple questions. The armhole pattern was printed 100% to scale but mine seems to be a bit smaller than your armhole cutout in the video. My armhole cut out to the size small is under five inches and yours seems to be a few inches bigger-I just wanted to make sure that that is correct. Also in the video you said to line the armhole cutout up to the top of the fabric but it appears you placed it a few inches from the top to cut it out and I was just wondering if I am missing something! Thank you so much and I apologize if these questions are stupid (I’m a beginner at sewing)!

I just tried to download and it keeps coming up as an error

Hi, they look so lovely but I’m wondering what do you do with the tie at the back? In your video there is no bulging tie that is visible how do you hide the tie at the back so it’s flat? Thank you

Were do I find the free pattern

Do we need to add seam allowance and ease to all the pattern pieces or is it included in the measurements?

This is such a beautiful dress ❤❤ i have subscribed and looked for the pattern but couldn’t find. Could I please have the pattern?

How do I get this pattern to print out?

🎉

I am on my computer and the pattern is not available but i am positive i can figure it out. Probably make this into a nightgown/house dress as this is the perfect pattern for it! Thank you.

Beautiful work!! I subscribed to your emails, last night. But I am still unable to find the pattern for this dress (I didnt get any emails). I'm excited to make this dress!

Please let me know what does “measure across the bust” mean? Measuring only the front of the bust 2x or all the way around 2x? Thank you❤

𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕪𝕠𝕦🙏

Как-то интересно вы ручку держите?

Do you think this would work with a more flowy/drapier fabric?

Thank you for this beautiful pattern! Sooo… I am a super beginner when it comes to garment sewing. Actually, this is my first try… I’ve only made a couple of curtains before. My pieces are cut (except for pockets… don’t feel ready for that yet 😊), and now I have a super rookie question 😂 My front and back pieces happen to have salvage edge both up at the bust and down at my ankles. Should I cut off the salvage edge at the top? I am thinking that the fabric is slightly thicker, and might fall better with the gathering if I cut it off? My fabric is a linen/viscose blend. I assume that with the hemming at the ankles, the salvage edge is just a plus.

Hi have tried to download this tutorial for the slip dress but keep getting an error. Is it possible to provide an updated link ? Many thanks

Ahhh how do I add sleeves to this

Page 8 and 9 seems to be super small when I'm printing, what am I doing wrong?

Are you only measuring the front of the bust x2 or all the way around x2?

I've used the same Brother machine since age 18 and now almost 59. What are you using? And....beautifully created dress!

My hips are wider than the other measurements, this method wouldn’t work out. So cutting a rectangle to my bust measurement then grading out the hip would be better for me.

I’ve never seen anyone grasp a pencil the way you do. I love how different it is. (I personally think it’s cool and I wonder does it reduce stress on your joints? I love writing but my hands cramp so bad)

The website for the pattern have error

How many metres do I need?
