I love the fabrics, even the lining! A really great idea to show the whole process of making things warmer. It doesn't have to be complicated, just requires a little extra work :D
Beautiful! I love the fashion fabric, the wool check is lovely. I'm going into my first winter with a wardrobe consciously made up of mostly skirts so I've been on the hunt for some winter skirt inspo. Lining with flannel was something I hadn't thought of! Very sensible. I love a skirt that feels like you're wearing a blanket so I'm keen to use that trick!
Gorgeous skirt! I have started to have my waistband go over the plaquet as well. It looks less like gaping in the back and I could close with a button if I want to, or just hooks and eyes. But that is just a suggestion, your skirt is very lovely as it is, and the cut of the skirt is so very flattering and beautiful!
I think you are lovely. Your skill and how you share it is really heartwarming to see. I am a self trained, experienced seamstress, with a successful business. As I am from SA where the weather is hot, I have worked mainly with lighter fabrics. I needed to research how a wide , wooll skirts would look, feel and fit. I wanted to know it’s little quirks . You covered them all with solutions : Are they warm enough Fullness Matching plaids Stretch in waistband- cause - solution …and more thank you 🎉
I found wearing a slip skirt underneath my skirts and dresses works amazing to avoid the static. I just ordered a cheap one to try and love how well it works, plus in summer it helps with those skirts wehre the fabric is just a little too thin and see through for my liking :)
I made 2 skirts out of fleece this last fall and I love them! I call them blanket skirts! I bet your is even warmer! how well do the snaps hold the skirt closed? I always use a zipper but snapps would amazing!
the snaps work fine for me! most of the weight of the skirt is supported by the waistband and the hooks and eyes, which should be reinforced with a waist tape, but other than that it works fine.
Sorry to be negative, but I would have tried harder to match the plaid at the waistband. Also, I don’t think this video is particularly helpful in instructing the process of construction. Moves too fast, jumping from one technique to another, leaving the viewer behind. Sorry, I feel if you wish to create videos to teach sewing techniques, you need to be a teacher.
The video was not described as being a tutorial, but rather a video showing she made it the skirt. Not everything on RU-vid is meant to be instructional, if you are looking for a teacher, be more specific in your search. Don't blame it on the content creator for not giving you what you are looking for.
