Lindsay…..I have been sewing for longer than you are years old. Your excellent is outstanding. I’ve been
following you for some time and have purchased some of you patterns. Have not tried them as of yet,
but it is definitely on the agenda this winter while I “snowbird” here in Florida. I have always loved
piping and have even made my own. Looking so forward to installment #2…once again, this was a
terrific video 🙂
so sorry….should have previewed my comment. I meant to say that your video is outstanding…I liked
“outstanding” better than “excellent.”
Outstanding video. Like the variations.
Thank You
did anyone catch the fabric designer/manufacturer? I’ve watched the beginning twice now and can’t find
it
She said it was Michael Miller fabric.
Lindsey, Thank you so much for this video. I look forward to part 2! Great job! Now I feel like I can try piping. Ann
I am new to the garment making world. I cannot wait for the next installment but I really cannot wait to make my little one this beautiful dress. Thank you for your lessons.
You are definitely a very, very good teacher. Thank you so much for your instructions; i love it and it helps me a lot to sew this dress !

Super video! I am looking forward to picking out the fabrics for the pattern and carving out some time to make this sweet dress. I’ve not sewn with piping before and am really pleased to have watched the video to see how it was sewn in. I could never have guessed that such a colorful fabric would have, in its final form, been so discreet while giving the dress the perfect pop. My biggest surprise was that I found watching you sew was almost as relaxing as actually sewing! LOL
Thank you so much for this video! I love this pattern but always get frustrated making the button loops, this alternate way is awesome.
I really enjoyed the video, even having made the dress before. I loved hearing your new methods and liked seeing how the bodice came together. How you have time to do all you do and obviously be a great mama as well, I’ll never know. Thank you so much for giving your time to help inspire us!

PS Where do you buy your ready made piping (hopefully online)? I tried to do a google search for decorative piping, but I wasn’t very successful. I’d love a good source.
PPS Oh yes – the quilt behind you in the video – did you make that or was that something Babylock used as a backdrop. I love the pattern – if you know what it is, I’d love to find out the name of it.
Love this! I’m going to make this dress for Easter! Did you make the cotton piping or is there a brand you recommend buying?
