GET INSPIRED #SewingStevie
I made the stevie dress with neck ties, cuffs and pockets for my first dressmaking project. There’s lots of tutorials available on YouTube. It took me much longer than other reviewers (4/5 days of sustained multi-hour sewing sessions)!!but I was very happy with the results and other people can’t believe I sewed it myself! Would recommend!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of dressmaking, B!
It's such a lovely feeling when people can't believe you made your clothes yourself, isn't it? I'm so pleased to hear you are happy with your Stevie dress. Here's to many more DIY makes to come :)
I’d recommend watching the YouTube tutorial if doing the arm cuffs. I bodged that bit up. Still looks great though.
Hi Alyson, thanks so much for your lovely review! I hope you enjoy wearing your cute dress, and happy sewing! Virginija x
The pattern looks so easy to follow, have not made yet but photo will follow when made, first time using your patterns but I’ve heard great reviews.
Yay, Karen! We can’t wait to see your Stevie - so excited for your first TATB make. Happy sewing! Abi x
I havent used the pattern yet, it’s on my to do list.
It looks very simple & versatile. I think it will look smart or casual depending on fabric used. I love the idea I saw on Pinterest of having the neck ties at the front.
Hi Murriel, thanks for your review! I’m glad to hear you’re planning on sewing the pattern soon, yay! I’m looking forward to seeing your make, and yes, ties at the front will look really unique. Happy sewing! Virginija x
Loved making my Stevie! Did a summer dress for my holiday. I bought the add ons so will try that in a different fabric for autumn. Love the clear instructions and accompanying you tube videos!
So glad you loved making Stevie! A summer holiday dress sounds perfect, can’t wait to hear how your autumn version turns out with the add-ons. Happy sewing! Abi x
