I've seen different techniques for inserting elastic in the waist but I have to say I absolutely love this one. I'll try this the next time.

Greetings I believe I'm able to make a skirt. Once I've made one I'll let you know, just got two weeks left on a project I need to finish. This lockdown has me finishing off old projects. Love love love your channel.

Thank you so much for posting this video with all your useful tips. Has really helped me a lot and my skirts look much neater now. x

I'm making this tonight for my daughter to wear tomorrow. Thanks for another great tutorial xx

How Nice is this skirt. It has fashion an style. You picked a nice fabric and It looks great with the poplin waist. Love it..

Love this skirt.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Love the fabric! Love the braiding! Did I say it was lovely? Lovely, lovely! Thank you!

You’re amazing and so talented!!!!

That braiding is really gorgeous! You know Tree, I always thought that pressing elastic would ruin it. I was told that as a child when I was then learning to sew.

Young lady I really liked the skirt. Between the lace/beads and the bright colors with the raw edge made it pop out. I was thinking that you could have added a second row of raw edge of the bottom of the skirt. Giving the skirt a look of lace and yet still chic look. Looking forward to your next tutorial. Have a nice weekend.

Love, love, love this skirt!

you are a good designer tree! thanks for sharing your talents

This video is great! You are adorable while you explain the stitches!

Just thought I would put this together for those not familiar with the lovely UK terms. UK English to North American English. Haberdashery = Notions Pritt Stick = Glue Stick Stitchless TV "bobkin" = Bodkin Bondaweb = Double-sided Iron-on Interfacing Raffia Braiding = Burlap Ribbon Non-turning Elastic = No Roll (or Non-Roll) Elastic Thanks sew much Tree for your fabulous tutorials. :) Wish I was there!

I love all your videos Ms. Tree!!

Tree...I love this. I'm trying this today. Thanks again.

If you like me, love tourism scarf prints and other unusual prints..... then watch this Amazing Designer Fabric report by Stitchless TV sewing vlog. I found this online fabric store that do very similar fabrics to Dolce & Gabbana. They sell alot of the fabrics by repeat so check the lengths and you'll see it's quite a bargain. Tree x

Love it!

I positively LOVE the fabric! 💟

Just brilliant idea! I love it, would never tell this is curtain fabric! Thank u for ur amazing videos-love them all! BRAVO!

I like that part... where you said, I'm making things up as I go because that's what designing is...

I love all of your videos! Thank you so much!!

I love this

Hello, If you want to come to a workshop at #Fabrications to learn how to make the top in this video out of 2 vintage scarves, then click here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sew-your-own-top-from-2-vintage-scarves-with-stitchless-tree-tickets-10737340675 Thanks alot, Tree

yes, very creative , I have done design course in Paris (1980) and also London School of fashion in 1985, after watching yr programe, remind me a lot

I don't know what you've changed, but the way this video looks is amazing! I know it sounds odd, but it made everything even easier to follow :')

Gorgeous! I will sew one for myself :)

I LOVE it!

Hallo Tree :-)I love the skirt but, I really really love your fantastic shirt :-)

Tree, this is a great video. I also have a thing for haberdashery. Its what makes homemade garments completely individual. Will definitely have a go at this. Thank you x

Oh my gosh, that was a beautiful skirt! I have been trying to find a particular skirt for an outfit I want, and now I think I'll just make it myself! :D thank you for these awesome tutorials! (I know I'm a bit late haha)

Love it! X

I love it all. And as an American, we don't use the word Haberdashery. (First heard on Brit show: Are You Being Served?) ;we do have thrift stores and second hand stores to find such goodies. I never thought of using that type of fabric... great!...dee

woooooo lovely

Hello Tree, I love your skirt. You are so inspiring. Thank you! =)

love it

Love the raw edges on the skirt.thanks for the tip on sewing elastic so it doesn't roll. My 3 girls are gonna love it.also really loving your top.how do you make that.? :)

Hello Tree, melody here. I have a huge request for you. I was watching upcycling tutorials today and came aacross something wonderful. It was by Miss Louie called OOTD: American Apparel Chiffon Skirt = 5 Different Looks! You can find it by searching that title above. Coming to my point, the skirt is a sheer type with two layers, and she shows five different styles to wear it, very very unique. I would love to see your adaption of the skirt maybe using two different colors and making it reversable. Please please watch the video, i know you would love it, and maybe become inspired. Its nice to use one piece of clothing and beable to wear it several times and different ways. I hope this will inspire you to create outfits similar that can adapt to many versitile fashions. Your amazing, thanks so much for inspiring me to learn this new craft.

This tutorial is very helpful! I was wondering how one adds pleats to a skirt with an elastic waistband?

Sewing notions = haberdashery In the US (depending on locations) haberdashery has been used to refer to men's wear clothing accessories. Noticed the question thought I would answer. Love the skirt.

HI TREE THE LONG THING IS CALLED A LOOP TURNER X X X X HOPE I GET A MENTION IN YOUR VIDEOS SOME TIME AND YOU NRED TO MAKE MORE LOL IV WATCHED THEM ALL HAHA X X

Ok .... I verry like to see how you sew, its verry simple and make me fun to do it at home... Thanks Tree....

Absolutely love this Tree, I know you said it was curtain fabric but what type of fabric is it exactly? How much fabric did you use? Brilliant tut!

Omg I love your top!!! I'm just binge watching all your videos right now. 💕. How many sewing machines do you have?

I love this and its quite easy too. Could it be a strapless top if it was narrower and do you have any videos for bandeau/corset type tops....Thanks Tree :)

Greetings Go to make this one

Did you make that blouse out of silk scarf? Make a tutorial, it looks amazing!

Sorry about caps lol ... Well i wanted one after a seen you using it and i typed bodkin in ebay and i couldn't find it ... So i went on google and typed in seeing took used to turn straps around and looked on images until i seen it ... Then clicked the website at the bottom and found out what its called lmfao x x x

bellissimo :)

ive got an old sewing machine but i dont know how to thread the bobin, any tips please, i love your videos

I love it!! Still no closed caption :(

Hi Tree I have another request I always seem to have problems with neck lines is there a easy way to work with them v-neck, peter pan,just to name a few, just different ones they never seem to look professional do you have a on this. just neck lines or collars

hey do u need to use elastic thread? and whats the difference between them?

I meant Tre, darn auto correct. There when you don't want it, but not when you need it.

There is no CC at the bottom I don't know why??

Tre do you ever do anything for Renaissance clothing? Patterns are extremely expensive.
