Hi Meredith this is a fantastic tutorial! I love that it’s 30 minutes to skirt heaven! I’ve vowed to sew myself some skirts this Spring and I think this one is one that I will try. The only thing I’m wondering is I would really like side pockets on my skirts. Do you see an easy way to modify this skirt to add pockets? I guess that would make it the 1 hour skirt. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!ReplyCancel
You could cut your outer fabric in half so that you are sewing one of the sides together (adding in some pockets using an existing pocket template) before you assemble the skirt according to my tutorial. :) rather than having a single back seam, you would be sewing up one of the side seams which is pretty much the same thing except that our could be stitching around the pocket on the outer layer. I think it would still make for a quick project! ReplyCancel
Hi ~ I wanted to thank you for this tutorial. I hadn’t sewn in decades and was a bit timid about cutting into some lovely Liberty London Lawn (LLL). Your tutorial and your blog post with tips for sewing with LLL were immensely helpful! My skirt is quite polished and professional looking. Thanks so much! :-)ReplyCancel
Today I get to dish about two of my favorite things: Liberty and sewing for my girl. I was asked to be a part of the Little Lady Liberty Blog Hop, and I said yes right away because this one’s right up my alley. Little Lady Liberty is a brand new book written by Alice...
Looks like I’m the first stop on the Alison Glass blog tour! I’m feeling pretty special. Really, though, I’m so excited you have stopped by because I cannot wait to show off Alison’s latest fabric!!! Alison is an incredible woman! Seriously. She is so passionate about her work, and such a sweet person. I could...
I love your skirt! It’s great to showcase a lovely fabric like that with a simple pattern, and I’m sure you’ll get so much wear out it too. If I won the fabric I’d also make a simple skirt, I think one with shirring though to accomodate my ever expanding baby bump! Thanks for the give-away.ReplyCancel
I am new to quilting and am trying to build up my stash. A very generous prize such as this would help me out a great deal in giving me some color and quality in my quilting. I would also have to use some of it to make one of those darling skirts for my daughter, as she fell in love with it when she saw it! Thank you for running this contest!ReplyCancel
I’m so glad you are on this tour so I could find your blog. I just love your daughter’s bedroom makeover and will follow along to see what else you have cooking! These prints are divine…with 2 yds I could make a Staple dress (possibly for my daughter), or a Roman blind for my sewing room window that is letting too much sunlight in (I’m worried about fading my stash). Great job on your skirt!ReplyCancel
