This Month's Live Streams (Submit Your Melisha and Makeup Questions!)

One more question: I like sewing foam cups inside my dresses so i can wear them without a bra, but they never give me a proper vintage look. Do you know any ways that i can achieve that pointy/bullet look easily (maybe diy cups?), without all the crazy spiral stitching? Thank you so much!

#Lyons_Lines_Fashion_Design

Hiii Getie and Melisha! Im so glad to be apart of your journy. I have a couple questions. 1) How did you guys meet :) and why the partnership now! What made your bond so strong to be able to work together 💕 2) which Patteren company was your favorite grewing up/learning from example McCall or Butterick 😁 3) How do you make this a living or how did you! Its difficult to keep the energy going after working all day ( no exercise but sometimes i wish i worked a part time job just to be home sewing instead 💕 love it that much 🤗

I would LOVE to know where you got your stud, dangly circle earrings from. Audrey Hepburn wore similar ones... and I need them in my life! Also, do you have plans for many more vintage-casual patterns/designs? I LOVE dressy items, but I wear a lot more casual clothes on a day-to-day basis. It would be fun to have more vintage inspired casual things to incorporate into my wardrobe.

I would love to hear your tips on accessories that add to the vintage look, like shoes, bags, jewelry etc!

Make up! Lashes and lips - what do you use, how do you make them stay 😁

Melisha, who are your fashion icons? Vintage and/or current.

Melisha, you’re always gushing over Henry and Hattie; do you have any fur babies at home?

Melisha, are you going to sing in the band Gertie is in? Your speaking voice is amazing and I kinda demand a duet please 😊

Have you ever thought of auctioning off your dresses?

I'm loving all the new patreon projects please keep em coming! My question is: What would be your dream pattern to create, and why?

Where do you get your nails done? I live 15 mins away from beacon in Wappingers. Also thank you for signing my lamour dress pattern when I went to beetle and Fred!

Cute pets are always a bonus! Since my own hair is particularly skilled at sneaking into my work when I crochet, I wonder how you deal with cat hair on clothes and fabrics?

I want to know what Is both of yours favorite pattern to sew? Also what are some of the special meanings behind some of your amazing tattoos? ( I hope that is not too personal of a question. If so I apologize, I love seeing people's artwork and the stories behind them)

What are you most excited for in the upcoming patreon/charm pattern to come

Your false eyelashes always look great. Whenever I (try) to put them on or wear them they refuse to stay put, especially the ends on the inside goes *boing* up. What are tricks and products for long-lasting falsies, are those new magnetic liner ones any good? Thank you!

Question: where do purchase your fabrics? What online retailers do you use? How can we determine if the fabric we are purchasing is high quality and will last. When I sew a piece, I want it to last. I have noticed fabric from big box craft stores isn’t the best quality.

I'd love to know how you met.

My question is: apart from dressing with a 50s/60s flavour, what else do you both do along the vintage lines? For me, I jive dance as much as I can 💃

Loving everything both you and Melisha are doing - and the patreon is a fab idea. Cant wait to see what the new Charm patterns are. Got everything waiting to make my princess coat now - just gotta finish this quilt for my grand daughter and I'm there (weekend only sewer tho so maybe a month....) x

Oh also! Are there any plans to expand the sizing on the night & day dress? I bought the pattern ages ago and haven’t actually made anything because I hate busy adjustments so much 😅

Melisha, I love the knowledge you brought to the recent Peter Pan Bolero video! 💕 For both of you: What’s your favourite Charm Pattern so far that you’ve worked on?

Melisha - what type of challenges do you face when you are assisting Gertie with test sewing? I’ve heard her mention that you do a lot of the hands on type of fiddling and I’m wondering how one figures out that kind of activity? PS - you are wonderful on camera, give us more of that sparkling personality and face! 😍

I'd love to see a live tutorial on how to get that perfect cat eye liner and how to practice. Thanks! Can't wait!

I'm keen to hear tips on working with tulle/sheers! I like to think I'm a pretty competent sewer but sheers TERRIFY me for some reason :P

What prompted you to start making your own patterns as opposed to using commercial ones? And did you do any courses or anything to learn all this or are you self taught?

My other idea... you should host a GertieCon. It can be in Beacon or Vegas or NYC or Paris or somewhere that we all just show up for a girls weekend and wear our pretty dresses and hang out. (although, not in the near future because I don't want to get on an airplane until this virus is gone)

So excited to for the makeup tutorial, I've got very stuck in a rut with mine! I would love to know what eyeliner brand you use, it was amazing in the hair tutorial!

Gertie, how did you and Melisha meet and how did your work relationship begin? Love the Patreon and love seeing you and Melisha in the studio working on all this great content!!

Love everything so far. Thanks so much! <3 Bonnie's question: Can you do a video on print matching at seams? Plaids, etc. Like, how to know where to place the pattern on the fabric so that you know it will line up at the seam.
