I love the way it fits. As I previously mention I made View C in a ponte knit. Extremely comfortable, especially with the residence photographer complaining how hot it was trying to get a good shot. If you look closely you can see how the gathers really accentuate my curves and hides my tummy that I got going on, lol. The only adjustment I needed to make with this pattern was the waist. So yeah, I LOVE this skirt! I've already cut out View A so now I'm just waiting on the stretch piping to arrive. I've already basted it so now I wait. My sewing mantra is to finish one project before starting a new one. In the meantime I will iron out the fabric for the skirt below. It's McCalls 6994 Misses Skirt. Here it is in View E and F under their Learn to Sew for Fun Line. I love handkerchief hems and this is really cute and I will be sewing up View F. The other views showcase full skirts in different lengths as well and I will eventually sew them too! Which brings be to my second mantra, If I purchase any new patterns I have to like most or all the views, and I do with this one! This is a pattern that can be used in every season. See you soon!
Stitching and knitting and loving everything about it!
Hi, the skirt fits perfectly, I love the gathers, very elegant! The length is just right too. You look beautiful! You really have encouraged me to try to make something for myself now, instead of as usual for my dolls :-).
ReplyDeleteIt really is a easy skirt to sew up. I was getting all worked up, worry about what adjustment I might or need to make and I really didn't have to! Starting with this pattern really gave me a confidence booster due to my self impose sewing hiatus. I checked out this book, Dressmaking: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide to Making your Own Clothes by Alison Smith at the library and this was a great motivator too. This book has free pattern you can download too to get you started. I can't wait to see how the blue one is going to turn out.
DeleteThis skirt is beautiful! It really came out great! I like your sewing mantra, too! I try to stick with one project at a time too, with an occasional distraction ; )
ReplyDeleteThank you. This really is a TNT pattern for me. Once I adjusted the waist everything else flowed nicely. I don't think I have to stress to much about the hips, lol.
