How To Sew A Waterfall Dress (With Big Flowy Sleeves) | Sewing Therapy Tutorial

Sew Along 2023

The Waterfall Dress is a lovely top and dress with dramatic standout sleeves.

Hi, Sara here. What is your usual project process? Do you choose your pattern first or fabric first? While I normally pick the pattern before the fabric, this time I was inspired by this incredible fabric! When I saw this fabric, I immediately thought about making the Waterfall DressThis cotton ikat fabric was generously sponsored by Needle Sharp, a company renowned for curating sewing kits that include a pattern, fabric, and any accessories needed for the project. I have tried their kits and think they’re fantastic. If you want to give them a try, use the code SEWING THERAPY on your first purchase to enjoy a delightful 10% discount.

I started the Waterfall Dress project a while ago, and I am just getting back to finishing it as I accidentally deleted some sewing clips and lost the motivation to sew again. After some time away from frustration, I’m feeling refreshed and ready to resume. I’m so pleased I completed my Waterfall Dress in time for the fall season. I’m all set!

The Waterfall Dress is a lovely top and dress with dramatic standout sleeves, which you may know by now, I absolutely adore. And just a heads up: the dress has a narrow neckline and you may want to adjust yours or even use a larger bodice size just for the neck.

Sewing Therapy Tips & Tricks | How To Downsize The Waist

Sew Along 2023 / Useful Sewing Tips

Welcome back to Sewing Therapy! I’m, Sara.

Today, we’re tackling an interesting and very useful project: downsizing the waist of a pair of pants, from the front. While waist alterations from the back are more common, there are certain times when a front alteration is called for, like this one! The back of these pants has an elastic waistband, making the front a simpler choice for alteration. I’ve already completed one side for a quick Instagram reel, so let’s get started on the other side.

My favourite feature of this hat is definitely the wide brim and with some effort, it’s just the right stiffness and bendable, thanks to the flower wire. I’d love to hear how your hat turned out! Please tag me and feel free to leave any thoughts and questions in the comments section below. And if you want to see the Sunni Visor version, check out that video on my blog and let me know which Sunni you prefer. Until next time, 안녕!

How To Sew Jale Dress From Schnittchen Patterns | Garment Sewing Tutorial From Sewing Therapy

Garment Sewing Tutorials / Sew Along 2023

Welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara and I invite you to sew a Jale Dress with me. The Jale is a new pattern by Schnittchen Patterns that is a Blouse or Dress with an oversized fit with wide cuffed three-quarters length sleeves. Schnittchen recently relaunched their shop along with some new patterns and I had the pleasure of making the Jale Dress! Congratulations Schnittchen Patterns on your shop relaunch and we are excited to see what the future holds for you!

I found the Jale to be perfect for the transition between seasons as it can be worn as a shacket or a standalone dress. Although the dress has an oversized fit, it still retains a feminine tone and shape, which is something I really love about it. I added pockets to mine as I always feel the need to have somewhere to put my hands. The Jale has some really lovely details and I’m feeling delighted with how my newest dress is coming along!

And to celebrate their new pattern, Schnittchen Patterns is generously offering our Sewing Therapy community a discount! You can find more details in the description section below.

Before we get into the pattern, just a quick highlight of the subscribe to help us grow our Sewing Therapy community. Thank you!

Schnittchen Patterns kindly offer Sewing Therapy community 15% of the Jale!

How To Sew A Button Up Shirt For Beginners – Feat. Cameron Button Up By Helen’s Closet

Garment Sewing Tutorials / Sew Along 2023

Hello and welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara, I love to sew along with you and it’s been a while since I made a sew-along video! Today’s sew-along is for the Cameron Button Up. Lately, I have been preoccupied with creating short-form content as well as collaborating with CBC …

HOW TO SEW A STYLISH PHEN SHIRT – The Ultimate Step-by-Step Sewing Guide

Garment Sewing Tutorials / Sew Along 2023

Hello and welcome back to Sewing Therapy. I’m Sara and today I’m sewing a Phen Shirt by Pattern Fantastique. When Nicole from Finchley Designs generously gifted me her self-designed fabric printed from Spoonflower, she also sent me the Phen Shirt pattern – thank you, Nicole! I envision making a really cute and unique Phen Shirt with this khaki-printed modern jersey fabric. But since the gifted fabric is precious to me, I first made a wearable muslin using a green linen fabric to avoid any mistakes in my final version. You’ll be able to see my second Phen Shirt made using this fabric on my social media! Thanks to Nicole, I am able to make this top and I invite you to join me!

Do you recall the Vali Dress video from about a year or so ago? That pattern was also by Pattern Fantastique and I am a huge fan of their designs as they are one-of-a-kind and really well-crafted. Pattern Fantastique describes the Phen shirt as the not-so-classic, classic shirt and I love these dramatic oversized batwing sleeves and the very unique nipped-in high hip hemline. However, it can be challenging to envision how the shirt is made as it is constructed uniquely and they rate the skill level as intermediate/advanced. But I am here to help you and sew along with you!

All three versions give off very different moods with the only difference being the collar styles. It can be unclear as to which collar is which, as there is no identification provided. My guess is that the version with the collar stand only must be Collar Option A and the other is Collar Option C, according to what the pattern pieces are called in the instructions. All three options are charming, and today I will make Option C with you. The process is the same for all options so please choose the style that you like best.
