Hey there gorgeous lady, with the bottoms that you cut off of that cxartigan you could add length or frills to those sleeves. You know, if you wanted them longer for winter? Keep in mind that long flowy frills & toddlers are not very practical together... if, I remember correctly? 😂😂 That blouse with those wide leg black pants is KILLER! Slay Queen!! 🤗💕💕

From a sleepless professional men’s tailor from Berlin i need to inform you: The cuffs don’t need 4 cufflinks, although they come with 4 holes each sleeve, but normally you fold the cuff in half so that all the holes align and then u get the button through. Like your videos, you are a calming, positive energie

The third is definitely my favorite, but the second also steals my heart. It would be interesting to see a skirt version of the dress and play around with what patterns are used in place of (or in addition to) the petals

I don't know what my favourite is. It's between that amazing dress and the beyond cool shirt. You are magic Wendy !!!

the last flip seemed challenging and ended up so crisp, but i think my fave is the bias tape flowers, what a cute look in all the styling options!

I will admit I do watch Wendy's videos like a tv series. I love her voice and sewing videos😊

Great flips! Love how you showed us the different way you'd style them

@shaydawn7376 2 ай бұрын

KZfaq stopped recommending you idk what happened 😭😭😭😭 I was an original to this channel and for about a year I haven't seen you recommended and I forgot! Seeing you again is like seeing an old friend. I think KZfaq's algorythm is sexist -- and I don't just say that because of you, many of the female creators I love are never recommended I have to remember who they are and search for them. 😢😢😢

@justinemchan 9 ай бұрын

My favourite is the wrap cardigan but mostly because the other ones are way past my skill level. Loved seeing you style the white shirt!! I liked your looks more than the runway

@JoGirl 9 ай бұрын

Love the shirt! Also love the validation that no matter how long you've been sewing, you still "completely miss the mark" sometimes. Oh so relatable.

Wowie that buttonup got me really nervous BC all through the process I couldn't really tell how it went and it seemed so bulky to me that it'd be unwearable, but you DELIVERED!!! holy moly it's so good when styled properly, and I love how doable it was!! Really inspiring for us less experienced sewists :D

I can’t pick a favourite, they are all so good and the styling of each was impeccable.

I'm in love with the White Button Down. Before you even started, just the cuffs alone was heaven to me. I want to give is a go as soon as I have sewing confidence.

Omg love. The Simone dupe is probably my fav, but I also loved the simplicity of the Ballet wrap top. As a sewing newbie, the first feels like a very doable project-- with room to recover if I make a mistake. Great work as always Wendy~~~~~

I am so glad Im not alone in not wanting to follow a traditional dress pattern that can be bought with overwhelming instructions that I barely understand! I want something I practically like and would like to clone it for myself in the most practical way of making it! You made me realize it's posible! Thank you so much!

@laceynagel5025 9 ай бұрын

9:09 I would actually love for you to wear your clothes as you usually would, because one of the things that makes me feel like a bit of a failure sewing is how long everything seems to take me, so when I can see creators with 10 different outfits hair / lighting in one video, it really helps me understand what is a realistic timeline for my own projects!

Hi! I think the Black dress needs some nude fabric inside. The way it is right now with the black inside and out it's not obvious that there are holes to the dress. It seems the ribbon is just attached to the fabric from outside. I hope you understand what I mean.
