Everybody's entire wardrobe is handmade by this definition. There is no clothes sewing machine. All clothes are put through a sewing machine by a person, usually a woman or a girl who is being exploited or enslaved.

“Sewist” is that a word? Fabric artist is more appropriate.👍🏼

Super easy additional single-use swaps: Install a bidet-I only buy tp for guests now Buy a large stack of Terry cloth rags, so that you’ll always have enough toweling to clean up big messes or clean the bathroom. Replaces paper towels Reusable “tissues”-cut up old tshirts or flannel or Terry cloth (towels) into your preferred tissue size. I store them in a pretty box at my bedside with a mesh bag hanging from my bed stand for used ones. My nose doesn’t get rubbed raw after a bad cold anymore :) Handkerchief-when going on a cold walk or hike, my typical was to take a huge wad of toilet paper with me to get me through the endless nose drips. A handkerchief is so much better for this!

String bikini would be one way to accommodate nonstretch brief style underwear. Or, boudoir shorts or mens style boxers

How do you fold up your patterns so small to fit in fold cabinets? I find that once I tape them together, they don’t fold well. I end up rolling them , but storing large rolls of taped computer paper isn’t my ideal organization method.

I'm planning on making a robe in a similar-ish fabric... how did you like the serged insides to this? Did it make it uncomfortable or scratchy? I'm considering doing serged seams or french seams and I can't tell if it would be worth the extra effort for the french seams. Plus, I'm not sure how you would do a french seam for a robe's underarm point where it's a square point. Anyway, just thought I'd ask your experience with how it feels inside. EDIT - sewing and the city has a tutorial called "French seams on a 90° angle" or similar and I think it's perfect and helpful!

Where did you get the cutting table

I'm in the process of making a bathrobe style qipao from a very lightly used Waverly cabbage roses quilt. I couldn't stand to think of parting with it so I'm fashioning it into a bathrobe. I was very happy to see when you removed the bias binding from your quilt but also reused it. I had removed mine sometime prior to viewing your video. I was a bit surprised when you didn't use button loops to close your jacket. Does the tie get in the way of using the right pocket? Your video has been the most thorough that I've viewed and I picked up on some really great tips 😊

Love your setup and aesthetic. Thanks for the tour. I might actually check out one of those monitor stands for my own space.

I think that you did a great job and you are a wonderful sewist!

❤❤

Die Farbkombination ist perfekt 👍🏾

I like both but d curtain one is awesome 👍🏻

So beautiful

That’s a tempting diy tbh.

I especially loved the white one. How can I get that pattern in California ?

Good job. I like Eloise.

One of the things I miss about not having a dress form anymore is being able to construct a collar, dampen or steam it and leave it on the dress form to dry. Your dress form looks really good.

Not sure if you showed this but how did you insert the plastic pipe with sleeve all the way up past the fiber fill? I would have placed the pipe inside then packed in the fiber fill. Looks good!

Well done! Great job so,professional! Love them both!👏

You did a great job. I bought a cheap polystyrene mannequin from Amazon. It was smaller than me. I used fleece blankets and wadding to pad it out to my size and made a cover from stretch material. I used an extending pole and a christmas tree stand to support it. To try it out I put a dress with a known fitting problem on the mannequin and was pleased to see the problem was the same as when I tried the dress on. I was really happy with the result and it was a lot cheaper than buying one.

Beautifully done and very impressive. You are so talented!

I have a bootstrap dress form. I made it because I couldn't find a dress form that was as short waisted as me. I stuffed it with the filling from some huge pillows that I got from the thrift store. I love it because I can put a corset on it and it squishes like me which is good for the historical sewing that I do, a commercial mannequin won't do that. It's great to pin into, I use it for fitting and for placing trim. I prefer flat pattern to draping but it's nice for when I do drape something.

Thank you for this in-depth video! I’ve been considering making myself one for a while but have felt unsure of how successful it might be, so it’s super helpful to have this as a reference! I would also love to see you actually use it, and hear your thoughts on using it, etc 😊

You’re gonna love this for all the reasons you mentioned. Congratulations 👏🏻 enjoy’

I loved this video, plus the ideas that you included in your suggestions; such as possibly getting an old clothes hangar. I definitely will try this pattern and idea. Thanks for your great work!

Your name is Emily, the dress form should be an “E” name as well. Edna, Eloise, Elvis…

Thanks, very helpful. Yes, please do post a follow up video of your experiences using the form and anything you think would have improved it. Thanks again

Years later but just in case you'll see this: what is the top that youxre wearing in the video and did you make it? I've been looking for a collar/curved collar-less top like this!

I would love to see your new dress form in use. I also think that your DIY version is great and the pattern service is very good.

That turned out beautiful and it actually looked like a lot of fun to make. I have seen custom made dress forms ‘I think on a closet core blog years ago’. But making one also gives you the flexibility to change it a little bit if you need to - as you get older parts move ;)

Callie Bonnie Bella All meaning “beautiful”

Welcome back. What a project. Interesting video

Wow! Emily, I'm so impressed with your expertise, orderly process & skill!🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for this excellent video. I'm sure it'll guide generations of intrepid sewists to make their body double. I've loved watching your sewing journey. 👍❤️⚘️🌻🌷🌹💐

This is impressive! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you for sharing your sewing room tour. ❤❤❤

oh i LOOOOVe your button loop technique! making this dress tonight for an event on thursday pray for me

What type of fabric are you using and wearing looks like cotton natural dyed?

I bought the coat pattern from the same lady and I cannot figure it out. Could you help me?

Can you share the pattern for the one you made out of a curtain.?

This is a lovely video all around! Well done. The music in the background is quite relaxing and very enjoyable! PS what’s for breaky? 😊

Love the pattern of the “curtain coat” it looks designer!

Great job! 👏👏👏

👏👏👏😍😍😍👍

Use double sided tape that is used for rugs to attach the top to the drawers. It's thick and sturdy.

Please do a update! Spring/ summer plans, what did you end up making in fall/winter?😊

Very nice and classy 😊😊😊

I really like the extra bit of style you got from your elastic decisions. Both the divided elastic channels and the small “ruffle” above one channel are so cute.
