making THAT gingham dress from The Queen's Gambit
It's a new video! Finally!
I'll have an update with more info soon, but I've had awful luck over the past month when it comes to sewing projects. I've had nearly a half dozen things end in failure in a row which has really soured my sewing spirit...and my video schedule! But I should still have more to share before the end of the month.
Along with this video, which I'm sharing now! It's all about making a gingham dress based on the one Beth wears in "The Queen's Gambit". I tried to get my version as close to the original as possible, and I think I was decently successful. Though it was definitely a struggle to get it there.
I'm working on digitizing the pattern I drafted for this, and it should be available to download for the $6+ tiers tomorrow. It will be followed by a vlog on making the jacket, and a pattern for that too.
Thanks for being patient with me this month, and I hope your projects have been better behaved than mine!

I love the dress! Thank you for the pattern, I can't wait to give it a try! You look great with red hair by the way, maybe an idea for next time you dye your hair a fun color?
Fantastic job on this dress! It’s perfect!🐙
That dress looks so beautiful on you and has this stunning movement, i just had to join your patreon after watching the video!
This was great! Your voice over went so quickly that I didn't catch the info on getting the pattern I saw this series and really liked it. I can see though why some would not. I really liked this dress in the movie too! I am a plus size though, so I don't think it would look so well on me. I appreciated seeing how you did the hem extension and the cutting on the bias. Cutting with pinking shears was a great idea as well. Thank you for braving the cold weather for us too!!
Omg Angela, as perhaps the one other person in the world who doesn't love Queen's Gambit, I feel you! I wanted to love it, I really did, but... This dress, though - it's absolutely amazing and I have been hankering for a gingham dress for years now. Think this may be the one!!
Slow down please!!!! I love the dress and would like to try to make this one, but I'm going to have to rewind and replay every step multiple times in order to follow what's going on. But the dress is beautiful and it's wonderful to see you back again.
I haven't seen this show but omg this dress has my name on it!!! Thank you for providing your pattern, once i get my shapewear situation in order I'm absolutely making one.
Missed you!! So glad to see a new video. And I don't imagine they are very fun to film, but your projects that don't turn out so great are sometimes your most interesting videos (not sure what the YouTube numbers are on those, though). Your 18 century dress you did twice last year - once with the not so great fit and again with improved fit - was fantastic! I learned so much about how to evaluate fit and troubleshooting. Edited to add how much I loved how this turned out. And how I only trust people with green hair and hundreds of unicorn statues.
oh it's perfect and super beautiful... and I have a perfect fabric for my, just tadd different
The dress is gorgeous but the jacket, the jacket is superb! 🥰💖
Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you. I found you based on your Tokidoki video but then, just couldn't stop watching! I have an old singer sewing machine from the late 1800's and never learned how to use it, I still don't and I don't really sew...but wow...have you gotten my creativity going! My mom passed away 9 years ago this week...and since she passed, I haven't been able to go into my scrapbook room, picture your sewing room, but for a scrapbooker..my family has been unbelievably patient with me...and finally after sitting down one Sunday and watching that video of yours..followed by countless others....I went into my room and did some pages...the next day I made some cards...a few days later..I finished a crocheted blanket I had around for ages....I know you are going through a difficult time...but just know...you are inspirational...and not because you sew....because you are you...and something about you and your personality has reopened a piece of my heart that had been closed tight for a long time. Thank you.
Love how this dress turned out, and all the details of the collar, the bias drape....it is lovely! Thank you for braving that snow for us. I'm hearing re frustrating sewing...I'm looking for inspiration to get back into it. You helped with that, thank you!! I'm wondering if 2021 is the year of sewing stuff-ups. Stay safe. Sending best wishes from Down Under ❤️🌺🇦🇺😎
This looks amazing! I really like how the fabric pattern works with the shape of the dress too! Thank you so much!!
I made a pretty green corset, and a linen wrapper
