The Green Bean Podcast Episode 50: New Favourite Dress 

I eagerly watch for your Monday episodes, Katie! After watching your latest projects and your wonderful walks with Jack, I feel calmed and rested and inspired. Thank you!

I’ve recently discovered the podcast and I am so glad that I did.

Love your new dress. Great button collection! I do so enjoy watching you and Jack out and about. ❤

So interesting! I also used to sort my great grandmother’s jars of buttons every time I visited her! I loved it.😊

Love love both the green dresses! And buttons...reminds me of looking through my grandmother's tin and when my mom passed hers on to me; my collection hasn't grown as I wish--I need to see about that! Thanks for an enjoyable and calming episode! Your happiness with your new dress shines through the screen.

I love to see the meticulous care you take with your garments! It is a joy to watch! The dress is lovely and suits you perfectly! Thank you for a lovely video!

I love how happy you look wearing your new dress!

Oh wow! I used to do the same think when I would visit my great grandparents! And I to got my great little grandma’s buttons! Now my great grandfather had a collection of little doggie ceramics. I got to play with and still have now! ❤️ such great memories!

Wow Katie what a wonderful dress you make, and you looking a gorgeous with.I like to watching your podcast, get inspiration for myself. Thank you very much, and I looking forward for your next podcast .

💕 Buttons ❤️ Beautiful moment and memories.

Your new green dress is both swishy and practical, perfection! 💚 I'm enjoying seeing your project process. Thanks for sharing.

I'm enjoying your company so much :) Thank you. xx Maria

A lovely practical dress Katie. I enjoyed watching. Thank you n

I love your button collection, it reminds me of mine.

Your dress looks beautiful and I very much enjoyed seeing your button collection too ❤

It is so peaceful here, on your podcasts...

Oh katie what a joy to meet someone who enjoys buttons, just like you I have draws and draws of buttons many years ago when charity shops were brilliant to browse in you could pick oodles of vintage buttons in every choice of jars, tins,and different containers and I would spend ages picking out the best specimens to take home and add to my collection. Not so good now though as they just packet them up in plastic bags. I spent ages going through my buttons and finding draws for different colours, if i am fed up i can go and get a draw out and spend ages running my fingers through the buttons and wonder what garment it came off and who wore it. Love the dress you have made it really suits you the other green dress with the wide neck you could take off the gathers of the sleeve and that would fit better under a cardigan and wearing a shawl helps the neckline. Thank you for taking the time and trouble from your busy life to share with us hope the move is progressing for you

Wonderful dress,has it all ,the length is perfect

Love hearing your thought process and seeing your finished perfect dress..

I love all your episodes but especially enjoy the sewing! Your dress is such an inspiration as I have 2 linen dresses waiting to be made and now I am motivated to get going.

I too played with my mothers and paternal grandmothers button collections and inherited from them both. But, recently I won at auction, a huge glass container of buttons and what transformed my life was the way they were stored; in this “win”, the matching buttons were kept on a piece of thread or floss, then I could easily look for matching buttons because they were tied together. Brilliant!

Oh, wonderful! I went to Etsy and got the McCalls pattern immediately - humm . . . thinking of a gingham! Yea!

Your neckline is perfect. Stop complaining. I'm about to make something similar. Keep sewing girl!🤗🧡

OH! I DO love buttons!!!! ❤ Couple of years ago I spent two weeks sorting, color and size coordinating them and finding matching groups which I secured together with thread. My mum had lots of buttons in a wooden box. Spent hours with them when I was a child. It makes you feel rich to see and feel this abundance of beautiful objects. 🌟

Lovely, swinging dress, Katie, and as always, beautifully made. I do admire your attention to detail👍😊 I have my mum's button boxes. Never find the right button but it's fun to have a rummage and come across old favourites. Jill. Cumbria. UK

What a lovely episode! Thank you so much! I do recognize myself, especially in terms of the buttons. Sitting in my grandparents kitchen, sorting out my dear grandmothers buttons and then as a grown up inhereting the tin box with all her lovely buttons. Love your beautiful dress too!

You are inspiring me to start sewing again. I sewed nearly all of my clothing, and my children's clothing, for decades and stopped about 10 years ago. I think I will dust off the machine and give it a go. I need some warm slacks for the cold weather ahead. I always look forward to your podcasts. Give Jack a pet for me. He is such a good dog.

Hi Katie, I hope you're well xx ❣️ Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. Your Dress 👗 is lovely. I like the Gingham in the colours you used, it makes it suitable for all ages. I'd have pockets in everything if I could. I love mixing and matching stuff, to make something with my own take on it. Thanks for sharing yours and Jacks walk. Take care and stay safe Love and hugs to you and Jack..Jen xx ❤️❤️🫂🫂🐕

Thanks so much...really enjoyed the classical methodology...shoutout to the camera person of " The Walks" :)

The dress is fabulous and the buttons are perfect. Thanks for sharing ❤

Love this video so much, thank you!

Lovely dress Katie. I am a details person so really appreciate all your efforts to get everything just right and I do notice them on other people's garments too 😊

Love your new dress 👗 how satisfying to make your own clothing! Always such a relaxing moment to watch you and Jack 💕👏👍

Hello Katie Even though you've finished the Green dress, you can still make modifications to it. The neckline is easy to fix, you take the facing off, recut the neckline a little lower and resew facing. The facing doesn't to be the same fabric. With the pockets..turn the dress inside out, cut the pocket off at about 2 inches from the side seam, make a larger pocket and sew it to the fabric left from the cutting.

I do the same swishing around when I have on a favourite dress or skirt!

I always enjoy discovering the multi-talented people making vlogs! I’ve never been much of a risk taker when sewing. I’m venturing more into it because I need to know how to alter patterns prior to cutting out a garment. One of my fav methods to finishing sleeveless garments is bias cut tape from the fabric; I’ve also used to finish necklines (no collar). Pockets being added to a dress; I discovered this is not so easily accomplished and I don’t like my small side pockets! 😮 Thank you for sharing your journey🥰 Cheryl

Love your dress!

Lovely, lovely dress and episode, thank you. 💚

Enjoy your videos and so happy I found your podcast. Just got my package of goodies and can’t wait to share them with the friends I ordered them for at Christmas.

My darling Sewist, get a presser point. You can press the seams of your collar open in seconds flat and it makes pressing the right side so much easier!

i love your podcast and share with my friends. great dress - really suits you.

Hi Katie! I love your Podcast and I am looking forward to each new episode. This one was once again very interesting but a bit difficult for me to watch, as I am one of the people with koumpounophobia. To see so many buttons was very uncomfortable for me but I bravely watched the whole episode because I wanted to see your finished dress. A jar full of buttons is a horrible thing for me, I am a zipper girl. 😉 I am looking forward to your next episode and I hope for lots of knitting and zero buttons. 😂 😂

I wish I enjoyed sewing but, sadly, it is a process that I just have never embraced.

Hallo Katie Vielen Dank für den tollen Podcast. Dein Kleid gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Jacke passt wunderbar dazu. Leider verstehe ich nicht alles. Keine Untertitel 😔Liebe Grüße 🙋‍♀️Silvia
