VIDEO: The Cobbler Dress and Set
Hi everyone! Hope you're loving the Cobbler Dress and Set. In this month's video, I'm sewing this gorgeous dress from start to finish, and I’ll also walk you through everything you need to know for the capris. If you don’t feel like sitting through two hours of sewing content (who are you??) here's a silly highlights reel!
Hope you love the video! Don't forget to download the pattern and instructions in my separate post.
Xoxo,
Gertie

Can't wait to make my wearable muslin this weekend
Oh my goodness! After seeing Modern June Cleaver’s Christmas version, I decided I had to jump in and make this. My muslin came out PERFECT. I would say I’m an advanced beginner, but clothing patterns scare me. I had a bilateral mastectomy and I basically know I’m going to have to be a pattern wizard or wear my prostheses. But, because of the A-cup sizing and the fit, I didn’t have to do anything. The ruffles helped so much. I watched the bust fit clinic so I’d be ready, read the pattern all the way through, sewed along with the video and my muslin is perfect. I can’t wait to make my actual cobbler top. This is also the first pattern I’ve ever used where all the notches lined up, etc. I can’t wait to see the rest of the patterns now. I mostly have been buying them as a fantasy purchase just because they make me happy but now I’m actually going to make EVERYTHING!!!!! Thank you so much for the fit clinics, great patterns that work, bust sizing, and videos!!!!
I am obsessed with this pattern!!! Making a wardrobe of cotton summer dresses!
I love your videos, you are hands down the best teacher I've ever had! I'm so happy you do this.
Totally agree. Makes me feel not so stupid.
I know it bugs you to do things like forget to change your stitch from the basting stitch, but trust me when I say that's so encouraging for beginners to see. (Even Gertie does that!) It was so cute when you were like...I was feeling so good about myself...you crack me up. I say it all the time, I love you, Gertie. You are such a bright spot in my life for realz.
I always feel the same!
I need the fabric in the video!!! 🌹
love this set. Not sure I will try the capris as I have very skinny legs and a very thick waist but the ruffles are so sweet so thrilled with this month's pattern
The videos on Patreon are truly priceless. I'm more of a cigarette pant kind of girl, so I probably won't make the Cobbler pants, but I'm so excited to learn about the waistband. I've been planning a spooky spiderweb overlay skirt and want to make the waistband with an elastic portion, just like in the Cobbler set and now I can! My sewing skills improve and broaden with each video.
Super cute! The devil is in the details indeed…;-)
When doing the gathers, would it be okay to do them on my serger with my ruffler foot??? Will this make my seam to bulky??? What do Y'all think???
You can’t control the exactness you need to fit the length from shoulder seam to vanishing point that way, unfortunately. The serger gathering, as well as using a ruffler foot on a regular machine, totally works if you can just let machine go and you have unending ruffling fabric to just let it feed in. (I love ruffling so n serger and regular machine whenever possible)
ok that was super entertaining! i am still smiling! so i can basically delete my saved search for vtg 1940s pinafore pattern from ebay now. THANK YOU GERTIE! 40s pinafores are my fave. i love you. 💕
This seems maternity friendly (anyone with experience sewing maternity styles help me out)! Currently 6 months looking to make things that will fit now and later- I made a popover top and used the pants from the hostess set to create a matching set but very excited for these pants with a flat front and possible hidden zipper in the ruffle for nursing down the road.
hi! i made a 40s maternity wrap dress. i’m not pg and never will be, but i liked the pattern! maybe try something like a wrap or adding darts that you don’t sew down- you make them optional with hooks and eyes or just looser darts you can unpick.
Yes!!!! I was so hoping for cute capris like these!!!
The musical accompaniment is cute and steady!
I absolutely LOVE this pattern set! I'm outta here to dig through my fabric stash!!
The hilights reel commentary is a hoot 🤣
This is so cute!
I cant wait to watch this all the way through! 😍😍😍
Freaking adorable. 😍
I really like this! I'm going to have to stop thinking about sewing and actually start doing sewing!. Thank you!
This is perfect. I'm a potter, not a cobbler but the pockets!! Nice work.
Great content thank you!
So cute I can't wait to make it
Omg it's so perfect. Thank u so much!!!! I totally needed this.
Ok this might be obvious but can you watch these videos on the YouTube app and not the patreon app? I don’t love watching them on the patreon app but can’t figure out how to open it on YouTube. 😬
