 Hi you guys! Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside to Him. Oh, I bet you're wondering what took me so long to get this video uploaded and I really don't have a very good excuse. So sorry it's two weeks late but here we are. Here is everything that I made in April. The first thing is this super super super cute dress that I am just obsessed with at the moment. I wish I could wear it every single day. It is the Dana Marie Design Co a little something extra dress. So I told you all about Dana Marie Design Co last month. A lot of you commented that you hadn't heard of her patterns before so I'm glad that you were able to go check them out and learn about a new pattern designer, new to you pattern designer. This was my first time sewing a Dana Marie Design Co pattern and I gotta say I really loved it. I mean her instructions are not you know very professionally laid out but they were definitely clear, definitely easy to understand and my favorite part was when you go to sew the little X in the back your mind is telling you to lay the pieces down this one way and in her instructions she says don't lay them down this way and I'm like my mind is saying lay them down this way but I'm reading don't lay them down this way and so I'm going back and forth back and forth and so I was able to stop myself, think for a minute, comprehend what she was really trying to say instead of what I thought it should be and prevented myself from stitching something down and having to rip it out so I loved that she had a don't do this you know so often the instructions are like just do this do this do this do this never is there like a warning you're gonna want to do it this way but don't do it that way so I really loved that she had that in there it shows me that she got into our minds into the people that would be sewing this for the first time and knew anticipated that we would be trying to do it this other way and warned us before we could get that far which saves frustration saves time so I thought that that was really really great something else I wanted to point out about this pattern that I didn't notice whenever I was first telling you guys about it that I think is really cool is that there is not a sorry I have so much here that there is not a shoulder seam how cool is that so the little seam that makes the X like the one that's like right here all of this is one piece all the way down the whole bodice front and all of this is all one piece so that is super cool because if you are using a fabric that has any kind of design that goes top to bottom it will wrap around your body how cool is that right also if you're like same thing goes for stripes so all of your strikes will go up and over and be completely uninterrupted by any kind of seam in here it'll just be a beautiful you know visual thing all coming all the way over your shoulders down you're the whole length of your body which I think is just really really neat and I love that those two things didn't get separated and chopped up into smaller pieces also I was able to use this fabric that has this really cool embroidered design on the hem which I absolutely love and adore and my only only fear is that this fabric is not going to hold up and that I'm not going to be able to wear this dress to my grave like I want to only because the fabric isn't going to hold up I got it at in the New York City garment district at this store that's lovingly called jenki store and I want to say it was like five or six dollars a yard so not very expensive not that that doesn't mean it's not good quality it just makes me pause I just love this neckline so much and I even thought about adding a seam line along the waist and then adding a fuller skirt to give more of a fit and flair I just really think you can take this bodice and do so much with it so just like last month Dana Marie design code is offering all of you guys a coupon code again you can check the description box and get a link to her website her website includes more than just patterns she also sells a ton of different notions and tools and things that you guys might like to have in your toolbox so the coupon code is good for patterns and all of that stuff as well so check the link in the description box and also make note of the coupon code that's there in case you buy anything you can save a couple of bucks just for watching my videos how awesome is that um the next thing I made was simplicity 8389 remember these pants remember the bubblegum pink linen here is how they turned out apologize for the wrinkling I literally pulled these out of the laundry to show you today because I've been trying to wear them I gotta say though I don't think they're super flattering I know that you guys will be honest with me and I know that like I'm not at my like ideal weight at the moment but they just I don't know I feel like they make me look larger than I really am and so then that makes me wonder is this like wide leg pant just like not gonna work for me am I just not gonna like the way I look in wide leg pants and I've been trying the pants with different tops I admit I don't love the olive green um it works a lot better with like lighter colors like white and gray um so but I've been trying and branching out and trying to find a bunch of other colors that would work well with this but I think it's really just gonna be those two light light light light colors um light colors and neutral light and neutral um so but I made them I really do adore the little tie it doesn't actually like it's sewn in it doesn't actually pull anything tighter but I do love that I was able to find more of like a braided rope and then I tied it off on the end I think that's a cute little detail um so but there they are I made them so those are my two makes but I also have half of a make does that count because I cut out my grain line willow I just haven't sewn it and honestly this is going to take like 30 minutes and I know that um so I am going to get it done this month because I don't want this cut of fabric just laying around um so that will get done I promise even though I promised myself May was just going to be works in progress I mean I guess technically that is a work in progress so there you have it I've added I think I have like 17 works in progress that I'm working on um and then the refashion I just I put on that um it was this one the um Eileen Fisher like I don't know oversized doleman I guess it's a dress I don't know what it was meant to be and when I put it on the idea that I had with the trim on the bottom I don't know I started to like second guess myself a bunch and overthink it and then got scared and didn't want to cut into it because this is really good quality denim and I don't want to screw it up so now I'm debating on turning it into a top and not a dress so I'm still very very much on the fence about this which is why I basically just bailed on the idea of refashioning this last month but short and sweet which is even more less of an excuse as to why it took me so long to film this um those are the things that I made in April um this is truly a gem truly a favorite that I know that I will love and love and love and wear non-stop um but for now I strongly encourage you check out the a little something extra dress top and tunic pattern because I really love it and I think it's really cute I hope you guys think it's cute on me too um but that's gonna do it for a day today thank you all so much for watching I will see you all very soon bye
