A Sparkling Linen Blend (Flappies v.2) Dress

You work so hard! Amazing work xxx

Beautiful dress! I recently got my hands on a 99k sewing machine and I am excited to make that my new full-time machine 🥹

Gorgeous detail my friend. Thank you!

I love the tangents your commentaries take! They’re fun to listen to and the music in this featured some new selections which were quite nice! The flappies on the old pattern picture you showed us look like eyes, which made me think of Rosalind Russell’s amazing “eyes” top in the movie, The Women. That would be an entertaining make, eh? I love that movie. Her top is the second picture in this link: https://trufauxjewels.com/blogs/blog/costume-designer-adrian Loved your fabric here and Oliver’s feet, as always.🐈‍⬛

I mean, I am a huge fan of your rambling nonsense... it's like my brain is speaking to me in a lovely voice :D

Love the sassy commentary and the video. The dress looks lovely. Thank you for sharing

If you're looking for some pirate media that slaps, I can't recommend Our Flag Means Death highly enough. Two seasons of the queerest pirate shit you've ever seen. And if you get a library card (always a good idea) you get access to the Libby app, which is a huge database of ebooks and audiobooks for free! Listen to audiobooks AND support your local library! Win win!

Your Chief Morale Officer, Oliver, is working hard in this video!

I'm so glad your floors are finally livable! Shoutout to Mama and Papa Historian for the help!

'Empress line' allegedly came from Empress Josephine (Napoleon's bint). She preferred her dress waistline right up under her bust, supposedly to mimicking the lines of ancient Greek fashion where dresses were simple fabric tubes and fit was achieved by cords / ribbons tied strategically around the body. I'm not sure yours would count as an Empress line, but who cares because: GAWJUZ!

Gorgeous! Iridescent raven colors! In re walks, may be an opportunity for an epic walking cape?

I have no clue where Seneca Falls is at in relation to Albany region. But there is a festival every December for It's a Wonderful Life. https://www.wonderfullifemuseum.com/2021-festival/

Nice pattern drafting, as always! One question about the flappies: for the skirt ones, I noticed the slashes you do aren't parallel to one another: the one closer to the center front seems to have a lot more angle. Is there a reason for that?

“The kind of betrayal that at least ends in antiques” 😂💯

Beautiful cut and beautiful fabric! I think you gave the flappies just the right amount of floof. I'm currently refurbishing a 99k and I just noticed it has the same decals as yours. Fun fact! There's a big sheet of asbestos in the pedal! Apparently it's fine to use since it's safely encased in there and not shedding any fibres, just... don't unscrew the bottom like I did. (I'm still getting a new pedal though, mine's really rusty)

Oh wow what a gorgeous dress! Great tutorial as always 🖤

Just wanted to chime in that you're a very good teacher. I started watching you a few years ago (admittedly to fall asleep to), back when I didn't even own a sewing machine, and now I've made multiple garments! I credit a lot of my early confidence in sewing to what I learned from watching your content.

It would probably be better for me to listen to Dracula again, I have read it before, but I have a subscription to an email list that will email the part of the book that supposedly happens on the day. I get behind so fast 😅 so small chunks from May 3rd to November 7th.

Love the double flap at the hip. Have you ever thought about doing a Charles James petal dress, or is that too much hip flare for you?

The dress is gorgeous, I love it! Yay for flooring! ❤️

I love seeing all your new backdrops (aka your home) for your outfit pics as they get completed!

You are such an honest Trooper. I am so amazed at all you have accomplished

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to make some fabulous outerwear for the temperatures so you can keep going on your mental health walks. I would love to see a parka that is fashionable. If anyone can come up with attractive cold weather outerwear, it's you. I am researching a down puffer coat and trying to figure out how to 1) make an attractive one that 2) has two layers of down filled fabric with 3) offset down channel seams for a warm but lightweight outerwear. It's a struggle.

Excellent flappies. Love them!
