Hey!
This dress came to me off the top of my head and I decided to make it.
Most often, I don’t plan my projects out. Well, I do, but I rarely sew what I plan unless it’s a tutorial. Often times the inspiration hits me and ultimately depends on what fabric I have available.
I was getting ready to work on this project and I looked up and saw my camera. So, I just turned it on and pressed Record.
But…
THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL!
This is more of a Sew With Me type of thing. I just wanted to share with you my process, of sorts. I wanted to let you into my sewing studio when it’s pure chaos of cut fabric, tape measure sprawled across the floor, no makeup, and my hair sticking straight up because who cares.
Because, let’s face it. That’s what we all look like when we sew. Yes, you too. Matter of fact, I’m usually in my undies or less by the time I finish a project. Because I try on as I go and just don’t bother getting re-dressed. Okay, overshare.
This video is completely g-rated, though. I spared you the full monty. I sped this up to 4 minutes, but I completed this dress in one evening. I don’t know how long because I started and stopped a few times throughout the evening.
Anywho, I already know how I would do this dress differently, so if you’d like a tutorial on a better version, comment and let me know and I will add it to the list!
I didn’t forget about the wedding guest dress tutorial. Working on it!
Enjoy!

Ok thanks. I will try that.
Oh goodness, that was almost a year ago, I don’t remember. Maybe three yards, I don’t know.
Love it!! How many yards did you use?
I snipped mine about a 1/3 of the way in, not quite halfway.
Do you snip halfway of the front panel pieces?
This is so pretty, and the color is wonderful. What a perfect way to welcome summer! Good work!
Would love to see a tutorial – it’s a beautiful dress!
Looks amazing! I love watching your videos!
love the color also would like to see the back top or other top to use with the skirt
Would live to see a detailed tutorial and the items you would change. Would have loved to see the back and to know what different options for the top you would consider.
