oh wow, I think I have found the Holy Grail! the style of dress I prefer, from a lovely person who explains things so thoroughly and well. Explaining so many things, that are "assumed knowledge", even in beginner sewing patterns. I searched this video firstly, because I couldn't work out from the pattern itself, if the higher neck version, needed a zip or not. Thank you so much Anita! I seem to have a Janome sewing machine that has nowhere to install a double needle, but I will try to hem stretch fabric with single needle. Didn't even know there was such a thing as stretch interfacing, have only sewing wovens up til now. (from Australia).

I can categorically state, without want of offending anyone, that our black sisters just have that special flair when it comes to dressmaking and this video is no exception! Madam, your sewing is NEAT! I am IMPRESSED at how meticulously you have lined up those stripes on the ribbed fabrIc and even on the fine mottled lines on the brown fabric. This distinguishes between just 'home made' to handmade couture. Whenever I'm interested in a specific pattern, I always Google the pattern review images, and have found time and time again how our black sisters and mommas just ROCK whatever they've made, OWNING the garment! This is well presented. Well done!

Hi, Anita! First of, yes, I love Jesus and a sewing machine!! Secondly, the makes are gorgeous! I am getting more into the knit family of fabric than ever before. Thirdly, can you take a few moments of your valuable time to create a Bible bookmark? I have followed you for some years now and I have seen you sew clothing versus crafts and I highly respect that but I think such a challenge as this could possibly encourage sewing in itself, on levels of both garment making (my passion as well) and crafting- a double score. Thank you in advance for all that you are and do; many continued blessings!

Hi Maribel. The serger is different from the coverstitch. If your serger has a hemmer foot, you can hem the dress on your serger.You can use a twin needle for hemming and topstitching. The twin needle is universal so it should fit your Janome. I hope that helps.

These dresses are stunning and I'm anxious to get started. I purchased the pattern ON SALE for 99 cents at JoAnn's. I'm confused as to how much fabric to purchase since I plan to make the final dress you made. It's the one with Bodice A, long skirt, and sleeves with ties. I love the ITY fabric and plan to purchase that but don't know how much to order. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. You sew just like my dear mother used to sew. She was a perfectionist and would always tell me not to 'cut corners' as my garments screamed 'homemade' and not in a good way. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn! I'm so glad you got your pattern on sale. I used the yardage suggestion for View B with the sleeves and long skirt. But I added an additional 1/2 yard for the longer sleeves and ties, plus possible shrinkage during pretreating in the washing machine. Adding 1/4 - 1/2 yard is plenty enough extra fabric. I hope that helps.
