I've had a hard time finding the perfect, simple way to create dance wrap skirts and this pattern/tutorial was perfect! I shortened the length to 20" and it was exactly what I had envisioned. Just finished my first one this week and as a newer seamstress it made me feel confident and excited to see a project take shape. Thanks for sharing!
Aw, that makes me so happy Kaitlyn! I'm so glad you found it useful and were able to make something that you love! Thanks so much for sharing this with me! 😊
I like watching your videos while sewing. Right now I'm working on a dress inspired by the Glam meets glam Bette dress with inverted pleats. I love that kind of pleats, this is my second dress inspired in that dress with modified sleeves. But in this one I'm working right now I'm using piping trim with a collar and buttons on the top part and long sleeves. It took me 2 days to make the pattern to figured out the pleats but once you have the pattern is easy to make any changes and design it the way you want it
Constructive criticism here. I was happy to hear you were drafting a pattern that would be great for the beginner sewer. I think you explain and present pictures very well, however. It was entirely too fast. I hated to rewind constantly. What is the rush?
Oh my gosh. I love this video SO much Lauren!! I am planning on working on sewing in the month of July, and I am totally making this skirt!!! I am adoring alllll of this sewing content!!
Lauren, this is super adorable! I am motivated to make this as well. It seems to be relatively simple comparing to some other tutorial😝can I ask how many yards of fabric you purchased? I have same measurements as you. Thank you!
Do you have trouble with the skirt flying open or coming open when sitting? I want to give it a try but I'm nervous it will fly open like other wrap skirt I've had. Thanks!
I’m a curvy girl so I will probably need some darts in my skirt. Also, just a suggestion, some interfacing in the waistband especially where the button and buttonhole are located might be good if you tend to pop buttons. 😂 I’ve learned the hard way.
Hi courtney, I figured out how u got the shorter length measurement for the tie but since my length of skirt is fairly longer, making it 38’’ my short tie ends up being quite short at 6’’? Am i doing something wrong? Is that length okay?
Hi Courtney! I just made sure that the short tie was equal to the length that the long one extends past the edge of the skirt, and then added a seam allowance so that I could attach it to the skirt. I hope this helps!
Hi Julia, you should be able to swap in cm since it's just proportions. I would swap in 2cm for the seam allowance number instead of 1 inch, and 2cm for the ease number. Then you can just sew your seams with a 1cm seam allowance. Hope this helps-- thank you for watching!
Do the two front sections need to be mirror images of each other? I’ve cut both of mine out the same but now can’t assemble my skirt. Can’t work out if I’m being stupid at that or if I was stupid in following the pattern 🤦♀️
i like the simplicity of this skirt, however you are talking and moving way too fast to follow your instructions. I have to keep re-playing the video and it's still not completely clear.
A bit annoying that you can’t just go create your own pattern and not complain about someone trying to help you...grow up and convert the numbers like a normal person would do. No one owes you anything.
