In this quick and easy video I would like to share with you how I created a very simple, but beautiful dress! You can sew this in one day and because it uses simple techniques - I believe that you can surely do it!
Fabric used was 100% cotton, woven, non stretch. 42" wide and 2 yds long.

So disappointed - haven't even really watched the video yet. But spaghetti straps - all these "easy dresses" videos won't work with someone like me, who is, er, somewhat larger than normal upstairs. I cannot go without a bra, especially in public. :sigh. Never have found a bra that will hold up the girls without straps.

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

@@stormdancer0 then maybe watch the video first? And make thick straps and lining like the cami top from which this dress is made? Use the IDEA of this dress and problem solve to fit you...

@stormdancer0 2 года назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity Watching it now - I always watch it - Love your tips. It's just disappointing that so many fabric artists concentrate on smaller chested people.

Hi. I think about 1 year ago, we sewed at about the same level. Now you have passed me like a whiz. Good for you and great job 💕

@rhondaadams4013 2 года назад

Those are very nice. I love your videos. I'm learning how to draft patterns and sew mainly through your videos. I'm so excited to be sewing now. Thank you (sew) much!

@broganmckoko 2 года назад

Beautiful design! I love how you teach us basic pattern drafting and design skills. That's what I love about sewing. It's the creativity of making your own garments. Please do more of these types of tutorials that use 100% cotton. That way we can take advantage of all the pretty prints in the quilting cotton offerings

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

My pleasure! Oh... Have you seen the most recent Members Extra for the pleated jacket? You can use 100% cotton there, just need to go for a medium heavy fabric, so that it has some weight to it, at the very end of the Members Extra I go through the fabric examples and show them! :) I hope that helps! Oh... And the wide leg pants (the blue linen ones) you can make them in cotton too, it would ve great!

@broganmckoko 2 года назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity thanks for the tip. I wanted to make a jacket as my next project. I missed that one. I've just been so busy I haven't caught all of your notifications lately. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed seeing you expand your offerings. You got me into the Dress A Girl thing too

@pavlal.4552 2 года назад

That's a great idea. I was always admiring those lovely prints, but never knew what to sew with them.

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

@@broganmckoko Thank YOU for being here! No worries, I just wanted to help! I will make another dress-a-girl-pattern for little girls this year :)

Thanks for teaching basic DIY sewing summer dresses. I love the design of your garments and the basic pattern. my perfect size.

@Musicwarmsmysoul 2 года назад

Oh! Dress a Girl! Of course, that's why you made 3. They all turned out really cute. The girls will like them!

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

I hope so, these are really cute, even I like them and I don't wear dresses much! :) But I will be making a pattern for a small dress this years as well, so that people can participate :)

@dale3404 2 года назад

I like to sew two rows of gathering stitches: one at 1/2 inch and the other at 3/4 inch. I find the gathers are neater when I attach the two pieces together with a 5/8 inch sewn. I also zigzag over elastic thread sometimes.

@shellylemons 2 года назад

Love the pattern and style. It’s a perfect maternity dress especially as small as my daughter is.

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

It really is! Plenty of room for the baby bump and does not restrict the movement, I remember that was a key thing for me when I was pregnant.

@shellylemons 2 года назад

@@ThoughtfulCreativity My daughter lives in Lewisburg, TN and we both know how humid it is here in our state. She is very much like me and is use to the heat and humidity. I understand how it is to pregnant at this time of year because I was with her. She’s due December 7th and in a size 8 at 4 1/2 months.

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Omg, I was due in December too and the fall season in TN was the worst - hot and humid, but it was worth it. But yes... I hear you and totally understand what she is going through!

@helen4997 Год назад

@dale3404 2 года назад

I have some fabric that needs to be used. I’ve been contemplating what to do with it. Now I know. I may not get to it for awhile, but you’ve given me inspiration. Thank you. ❤️

@victoriahannah1633 2 года назад

Such pretty dresses. I hope to give it a try soon. Gathering kind of scares me that I won’t get it even looking. I will probably wear a muslin slap out before I’m satisfied.

@Amoresable 4 месяца назад

Love your videos how you make it look so easy you inspire me thank you. Where is the dress you made with your fabric???

@aleciab83 2 года назад

That exact design but with a built in shelf-bra would be even more amazing.

@gerriebell2128 Год назад

There are videos on how to draft/make/insert a shelf bra into a cami or tank top.

@shellylemons 2 года назад

Have you ever thought to do a tutorial on how to add lace to a denim jacket? I want to do this with lace that I have. I know it’s best to use a jacket that is mostly cotton and I have one.

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Shelly, hello there! I have not, but you should be able to do that without a problem, it all depends where you want to add it. In the most recent Members Extra - the sweater with lace sleeves, I go over a few things when I attached lace to the knit, how to join lace together and etc. Good be a good use for you for your project!

@Denise11Schultz 2 года назад

Wonderful dress, TY ☺️. I am interested in doing it with self bias. Do you have an idea how much more yardage I would need to do that? (Even an estimate of the linear inches would help me, I can do the math from there). TY .

UGH that pansy fabric at the end is what dreams are made of. where is it from?

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

All 3 are from Hobby Lobby, the shop I showed in the video :)

@kathyburt3294 2 года назад

why don't you just surge the seams? You sew them and then surge the edges. Can't this be done in one step with the surger? I'm wondering what I'm not getting right in my brain about the surger. Maybe different for knits vs wovens?? thanks.

Good Evening, I joined about a month ago, they took $2.49 Out but I haven't seen anywhere to watch the member videos etc. Need to know where to look. Thanks

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

Sandra, hello there... so sorry to hear about that, but currently you're not a Member as I don't see a badge next to your name. At 4:40 in this Membership trailer that you see when you join I explain where to find the perks - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uP9qSamkVkk.html as RU-vid takes care of all payments, unfortunately I cannot help you with that (also, the price is odd, the Membership is $4.99) - I would suggest contacting RU-vid customer support to sort out what is happening with your account or you can simply go to your profile, circle in the right top corner, and go to subscriptions and purchases and see what is happening there.

Love your voice! Now< I have a question, could you make a video on,...I don't know what its called but something like lining in the top so one dosent have to wear a bra but can still be modest?

@ThoughtfulCreativity 2 года назад

The cami top tutorial used as a base here has a lining in it - go take a look at that tutorial and the ruffle sleeve silk blouse from "the most expensive fabric" episode just recently has a lining.
