So my niece is having a yellow themed birthday party! and since I currently have zero yellow garments in my possession therefore I needed a new dress… obviously.
I needed to test something out for our Yallingup dress pattern… an add-on that Cassie really wants to introduce for it; but didn’t have any suitable fabric so I had to go out and actually BUY new fabric… imagine! It’s been quite a while! I found some suitable yellow linen in Spotlight.
Even though it’s our own pattern and maybe I shouldn’t play favourites like this, but I REALLY love this style… it’s really so comfy and fun to wear.
I made another youtube video on the process… it’s slower paced than my previous few. Honestly not sure what is my motivation to keep making videos since they get very few views and even less “thumbs up”! so I guess they’re pretty bad but I’m going to keep going and try new things to hopefully improve. I might try doing a voiceover next time because maybe that’s the problem and maybe the music is a little irritating?… but this is a scary thought. What on earth am I going to say?
it’s here should you be be so curious…

btw, very pleasantly surprised that I managed to get Thing 1 and Thing 2 on the neckline binding like this.. total serendipitous!
also.. yallingup in action!
I love your videos!
Great dress! Your video was lovely, showing how very skilled and precise you are at sewing. If that is the intent, it came through clearly. If you want to teach something about your process, some narrative about it could be helpful. There are people, for example, who may not know about stay-stitching and seam grading and why you might do that. I liked watching it! It was an inspiring and meditative way to start off my morning. Thank you!
I loved your video. There were some great tips demonstrated on sewing methods. I might like to hear your voice in some of it just to get a sense of the maker. This was a very cute and innovative dress. I am always so impressed. Thanks!!
Just watched the video — very cute dress! Nice to see how the ties change the shape – so easily! Guessing that the front top is two layers….talking it through to explain would be helpful!
Keep up the great sewing projects — get through that stash!! Judy
