Hello friends, I forgot to mention in this video that you need to pre wash your fabric first, since you are sewing a garment, especially with cotton Jersey knit fabric that usually will shrink. Hope your project turns out great. Thank you!
I have been looking for a skirt pattern like this one with the wide, turn down waistband for a long time. I have a favorite skirt, much like this one, and it's all I want to wear in the summer. I know knits are a little tricky to sew on, but after your easy to understand tutorial, I now feel confident I can make and wear a lot of favorite summer skirts. Thank You!
I thoroughly enjoyed this first watch. I will be back for other tips. I used to sew quite well from patterns but began quilting and embroidering and forgot how to use a pattern. This is much more simplified. Thanks.
My pleasure. I had similar experience with you, that's why I seldom use commercial pattern anymore and prefer this method (at least for simpler garments). Thanks for watching :)
How do you know that the top of the skirt will be larger than the waistband? I would think they would be the same size. Maybe I missed something? How much % smaller should the waist fabric be than the top of the skirt where it will be attached? Will this method work for plus sizes, or would the top curve be too big to fit properly? Also, Is there another way to make the pattern without already having a skirt? Wouldn't a pair of pants or shorts folded in half also give you the correct outline (just not as long)?Thanks!
