Lovely skirt! It's a great time to remember that you don't always need to buy a new pattern; it's great to adapt something you already have, or draft it yourself with some wonderful guidance like this.

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much Chloe. I really wanted to show how it can sometimes be just as easy to draft it yourself, rather than buying another pattern!

When I’m working with fabric that really frays, I always serge the edges of fabric pieces before I sew them together. It really makes a difference.

That skirt is lovely and the fabric is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your way of making this. I do want to also say that I especially love that last dress you wore. Fabric and style are so becoming on you. I love you style and choice of fabrics. See you next time!

Beautiful tiered skirt! I gather the same way you do! I actually enjoy it!

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

I am so glad you enjoyed the video! I love gathering this way as I feel like I can control it more!

@marilynwood6934 2 месяца назад

That turned out beautifully. If you decide it needs to be shortened you could do a small pleat around the bottom of the top layer.

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

Yes! That is a great idea!

Thank you! I really appreciate the way you explained gathering after pinning to straight parts. I was wondering how I would know how much to gather. Also, love that you gave fabric recommendations. I’m working with a substantial stash but not sure what’s going to work well for this.

The skirt turned out beautiful. It really looks great on you. I loved your tip on topstitching the waistband to keep the elastic from twisting. The fabric is gorgeous too!

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

Great video, thanks Amelia! Really loved your waitband tips... particularly wearing the elastic around and using pins at quarters.

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

Thank you Lily, I am so glad you found the tips helpful!

@evajames241 Месяц назад

I made one out of denim - bit thicker so used zig zag and twine method to gather - also dyed my fingers blue!! Thanks for the tutorial, I'm new to sewing so lots learnt on this project.

@sewamelia Месяц назад

So glad the tutorial was helpful!

@KTquiltsandsews 2 месяца назад

Excellent tutorial Amelia. I have heard people talk about fashioning skirts from rectangles but your vlog made it very clear. Beautiful fabric combo. Love the purple violet for the top. I made the Blomma top but unlikely to repeat it. Will be interested to see yours. xx Karen

@MaryanneNZ 2 месяца назад

It's gorgeous! I have a tiered skirt but its yoke is an old pair of jeans, which goes down about 8-10 inches, so it cleared the back pockets. Then I added 4 layers of different fabrics, so way more crazy but lots of fun!

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

That sounds like such a fun tiered skirt!!

@aleciacope3503 2 месяца назад

Beautiful skirt, Amelia! And great tutorial. I must admit I was quite distracted by your sewing table, your Day Two dress, and the clear storage bins in your Kalax unit. Thank you for mentioning that your sewing table is an antique. I love the built-in brass measuring stick and the rich color of the wood 😍 I'm in a new house and sewing room and will be on the hunt for something similar. May I ask the dimensions of your table, what your dress pattern is, and where you bought the small clear storage bins? I know you're very busy, so thank you in advance for taking the time to help my curious mind.

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

Thank you Alecia for your lovely comment! The dress I wore on Day Two is the Forsythe Dress (with expansion pack) by French Navy. I love their patterns! The table is about 1.5m long, but has two fold out pieces to make it about 1m longer. I found it online from a vintage seller. The clear storage bins I found on Amazon and I just chose them because they fitted the Kallax unit! Hope that helps!

@aleciacope3503 2 месяца назад

@@sewamelia Thank you so much. What a great find from the vintage seller!

@maaikegrondsma2298 2 месяца назад

Lovely, and definitely on my to sew list. I’m thinking of using a viscose linen but wonder if I have enough… how much fabric did you end up needing of the 3 metres you had? Love your videos each week!

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

I didn't have very much left out of my 3m of fabric - enough to do pockets if I had wanted to - but I decided not to add them on this skirt!

@noemir8262 12 дней назад

Very helpful tutorial as I'm working on a silk taffeta version. Where did the 3 seams of the third tier end up? That's where I'm stuck. Does it matter that they don't match up with second tier?

@sewamelia 11 дней назад

They don't match, so if you have a plain fabric, you may prefer to do it in four panels, but either way you do end up with extra seams in the front and/or back.

@noemir8262 11 дней назад

@@sewamelia ok great thank you for your reply 🫶

@janunderwood4033 Месяц назад

May I ask? Is there a reason why you couldn’t leave all your tiers as long rectangles to gather and fit them together, and save sewing them up into a “loop” (that is, a skirt) as the last step? It seems as though once you’ve sewn your tiers into loops, and then you’re trying to fit the longer, gathered tiers into segments of the tier above, the process is going to get very fiddly and layered and it will be harder to tell which bit you’re working with.(Brand new seamstress here, if that’s not obvious!) Thanks for your help! This is my very first project.

@sewamelia Месяц назад

It can get confusing, but by sewing each tier into a loop you can easily see which loop is which, from smallest to largest. I find it less fiddly to work with loops rather than trying to work with long lengths of fabric, but sewing is a personal thing, so try whichever method suits you best! 😊❤️

@DeeB4261 2 месяца назад

Love the material, and the skirt pattern really shows of the drape! I love watching your videos, you're a great inspiration. Thank you so much for being so honest on the length of time/number of days it took you to make the skirt. I agree, that it does seem that garments are being made up within 30 minutes or how ever long a video is, and I wish more people would give a guide of how long the project has taken them. @jennaphipps often says what day she is on during a project (at the moment she is renovating [gutting😱] her newly-bought house) and it does give the viewer an insight to how long something can take. Looking forward to your next project ❤

@sewamelia 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I think it is so important to be honest about how much time it takes!
