Making an Iridescent Velvet Lace Dress
I found this absolutely beautiful but also slightly weird fabric at Mood in Los Angeles (not spon of course) and just had to put it to use, despite my fears it might misbehave! Luckily it was pretty tame compared to actual burnout velvet, as this duo-chrome iridescent version has an almost mesh backing which helped immensely. Despite my bad hair day, (headband for the save?) I hope you enjoy the sparkling finished results 😅 Music and Sound Effects from Epidemic Sound. Thank you Patrons! Need to make a block pattern? There are many options, and I talk about several in this playlist! : • Making a Bodice Block From a Fitting Shell... Where I get my pattern drafting paper: https://atlaslevy.3dcartstores.com/Pa...

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
