You're welcome Tina!

Hi Dee! Thanks for stopping by. I wish you much success on your new sewing journey. Come back and visit.

Awesome! Thanks so much Sherie!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and enjoy making your dress.

I had to widen my hip width on the pattern my top was one size and the bottom was another. I used a French curve ruler to make the hip adjustment and made it bigger on purpose. Then altered using the by serging off the center back seam until it fit. (I opted not to use the slit). My first one was too tight and my second was just right after adjustment.

Yeeesss, don't you just love being able to fit your clothes to your body the way you like. Perks of sewing! I love this pattern.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Hi Esperanza! Thank you so much. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video.

Anita by Design what was made clear to me was, I never realized how important maneuvering fingers are when putting elastic together. My thoughts have always been placing and cutting the material so I stood away from elastic. After watching your video on a blouse I am so looking forward making a blouse with elastic. Do you recommend a material store on line?

Thank you

Thanks Carmen but I have no idea what I'm doing with the head wraps yet. There are tutorials on KZfaq. I'm gonna watch some so I can learn to do different styles.

I usually layout my fabric with the wrong side facing out. But you can also cut with right side out.

Hi Margaret! Thank you so much. Yes, I love inserting sleeves using the flat lay method. I use both stretch and ball point needles when sewing knits. I appreciate you for watching my videos.

Hi there. I can't do that for you. The best way to learn is by going onto the pattern websites and looking through their dress sections. The only way to familiarize yourself with the patterns is by doing the work yourself. You'll soon come to really enjoy it.

Yes, I sewed View A for this sew along. But I've sewn the longer version too. I've made this dress so many times. I love it!

Hi Jay Mac! Glad you liked the tutorial. I will do a tutorial on pants in the future.

Anita by Design thank you! Looking forward to it!

Thank you! I purchased the fabric from JoAnn's a while ago. It's been in my fabric stash.

Thank you .Hopefully they still have some left.

Hi Rita! It's probably best to remove the neckline and re-do it if you didn't trim away the seam allowance. Some things to check when you attach it the next time: 1. If you have a walking foot for your machine, use it. It helps to eliminate stretching when sewing with knit. 2. Check the tension on your presser foot. You may need to release the tension if it's too tight for your fabric. 3. Try a different stitch. Depending on the type of fabric you're using, sometimes the stretch stitch isn't the best choice. There's a lot of movement happening with that stitch which could stretch the fabric. Try a narrow zig zag stitch. Set the stitch width to 0.5mm and the stitch length to 2.5mm. 4. You may need to cut a smaller neckband. If the neckband is the same size or larger than the opening on the neckline, it will be wavy. It needs to be where you have to stretch it to fit the neckline while sewing. I hope that helps, Rita.

Thank you, I have the dual feed engaged, but will redo it with my walking foot! Thank you so much Anita!

Oh gosh! It was a gift from a dear friend. I love it so much.

You don't have to.

Kathryn Kastner Thank you so much! I don't have a tutorial for this particular t-shirt but I have one for a t-shirt with round neck line. I will likely have a v-neck tshirt tutorial in the future.

Razvan Razvan Thank you so much. That was my husband. He was so great with the camera.

Thanks

Hi Nick! I would just ignore it. Sometimes the pattern companies make mistakes. As long as the shoulders are lining up on front and back your good.

@@AnitabyDesign Awesome! Thank you!

Nick Epic I’m so glad to see this post response. I’ll be cutting a size xxl and I probably would have freaked out if I noticed the notches didn’t line up. I may make a up first before using my fashion fabric.

zimm919ang I did not.

Yes, absolutely!

Yes, but make sure you use knit bias tape because it needs to have stretch to fit over your head. Sew it at 1/4" to the neckline with the right sides facing. Press it to the inside, making sure to keep the other edge folded. Fold rest of tape over raw edge and stitching in place using stitch in the ditch or hand sew. I hope this helps.

Anita by Design thanks 🙏🏽

Donna Foster Thank you! It was a gift from a dear friend.

@@AnitabyDesign ok. Thanks for replying.

@@AnitabyDesign I enjoy watching your videos. Though they are detailed and thorough they are inspirational and informative. Your clothes look amazing

@@donnafoster1632 Thank you

Not necessarily. I know some people use that technique but a sway back adjustment is what's needed. I will do a tutorial on the method I use. Hopefully before the end of the year.

Anita by Design yes! I need a tutorial for it, alot of folks do.

Hi Annie! I don't see a reason why you can't use the walking foot on any type of fabric. I've only used it for knits and when sewing through thick layers of fabric. I would imagine there isn't enough pressure with the walking foot to sew sheers, but I could be wrong. That's a great question. You could always test it on different fabrics and see how it performs. Now that you've asked, I think I will test it too.

Thank You.Will you please post your results.I went to your website and saw all of your beautiful dresses. They are beautiful and you show what accessories to use to make them pop.I do not seem to visualize what materials to use for making making some of my patterns,thank you for your details on materials.

Thanks Annie! Which results are you referring to? I posted a picture of the finished dress at the end of this video.

The green one you just finished. The rest are Simplicity 8013, 8333 and McCall's 7567 and 7566. These are from your blog .

The green one was posted (July 1st), the same day the video posted.

Hi there! I got the Closet Maid cubicles and melamine top from Lowe's Department Store in my town. My husband added the moulding trim around the edges, and we got that from Lowe's as well.

Anita by Design thank u that's very helpful

Hi Takeisha! Awesome deal on the pattern! Yes, you can use the same pieces for your lining. Construct the lining the same as the main fabric. Instead of hemming the neckline, attach the lining to the dress at the neckline. Turn the lining to the inside and hem it shorter than the dress. I hope this helps.

Anita by Design I appreciate you taking time to reply to my comment. I'll be sure to follow you advice about the liner. I plan to attempt this pattern in the near future. Have a great day!

You're welcome Takeisha! Have a great weekend!

Anita by Design please help. I cut all my pattern pieces out and was ready to sew my dress together. However my fabric won't move from under the presser foot. I used a knit fabric that stretched according to the pattern envelope. It seems my fabric is too thin to move through on its own. I do not own a walk my foot. Is there any way to correct the issue?

I cut a size medium and increased the hips. Did you use a 4-way stretch fabric?

Anita by Design yes, I used a four way knit. I too cut a medium as well, but I did not increase the hips. I will try it again. Thank you

You're welcome!

Thank you so much. I've noted this in the description.

No, I haven't. LOL!

Hi Sandra! Are you new to sewing? If you haven't learned the basics yet, I can see how it would seem confusing. If you're new, check out my beginner's sewing course, then come back to this one. It would really help you to understand this better.
