Recreating a Christy Dawn Dress

The first 1,000 people to click the link will get a full year of Premium membership to Craftsy for only $1.49: https://go.craftsy.com/mindfulmae/ Today I’m recreating the Christy Dawn Calico Blues dress — a dreamy, romantic cottagecore-inspired dress that’s sadly sold out. Using my free Merry Maker dress pattern (with some creative hacks), I’ll walk you through my process of sewing a maxi dress with puff sleeves, a tie front & tassel, pockets, & a ruffle hem. This was such a fun sewing challenge & I’m thrilled with how it turned out! I’ll share the alterations I made, the fabrics & trims I used, & tips for sewing this style yourself. Whether you’re into slow fashion, thrift flips, pattern hacking, or sewing your own clothes, I hope this inspires your next DIY project. If you love Christy Dawn, cottagecore style, & handmade clothing — you’re in the right place. Let’s sew something beautiful together! ✂️ Links mentioned: ~ My Merry Maker free dress pattern: https://mindful-mae.kit.com/e4077a3872 ~ Fabrics & notions: https://www.hobbylobby.com/fabric-sew... ~ Christy Dawn Dress: https://christydawn.com/products/the-... 🌿 Subscribe for more sewing projects, pattern hacks & DIY fashion TIME-STAMPS ~ 00:00 intro and plan 01:20 coffee and start project! 02:15 changes from original pattern 04:19 cutting it out 05:53 today's sponser 07:06 starting assembly 08:23 sleeves 09:27 buttonholes/top drawstring 10:21 sleeve elastic 11:19 drawstring cont. 12:06 ruffle! 14:13 she's done! 14:31 final reveal 14:51 outro and surprising analytics C O N N E C T 〰️ Insta:   / mindful.mae   Website: https://shopmindfulmae.square.site/ Poshmark closet: https://poshmark.com/closet/mae_anne LINKS〰️ ✰Microphone: DJI https://amzn.to/4dW40uY (Amazon) ✰Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mindfulma...
