Your channel came up as a suggestion for me and now I'm so happy just having a good time watching all the videos I've missed. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching, I’m so glad you found my channel 😊
You really are a sewing magician, Cath. I haven't worn a skirt for 15 years or more but when I was younger (and thinner!) I used to love short pleated skirt with an oversized roll neck sweater. I absolutely love your brown Estuary skirt and it reminded me of that outfit. I have just bought some fabric to make a sweater so I am going to buy that skirt pattern to go with it and to hell with a few extra pounds!!!!
Thanks so much for watching! Oh brilliant sounds like a fab outfit you’re planning! 🥰
Great topstitching on the Brumby
Thank you, I love a bit of topstitching 😊
Thank you Cath for your timely video. I have been looking for skirt ideas, so I was happy to find your vlog. xx
Thank you for watching, I’m so glad you found the vlog helpful! 😊 xx
I am thoroughly enjoying these "favorite pattern" videos! I get a chance to see many patterns I have been interested in and learn of some new ones! Also I absolutely LOVE your fabric choices!! Well done and thank you!
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you are enjoying the favourite pattern videos 😊
All lovely skirts. I love skirts myself and will be making more this winter. Thanks 🥰
Thank you very much 😊 I do love a skirt for winter too 😊🥰
I love everything you make. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much 🥰 thank you for watching!
Your skirts are beautiful, I don’t wear them but I enjoyed seeing what you made. They look very professional.
Thank you very much 😊
All your skirts are lovely. The animal print, denim an the 2 with the open zips are my favourits!
Thanks so much! They are two of my favourites too 😊
Great video and lovely makes Cath. This has given me inspiration thank you x
Thanks so much for watching, I’m so glad you found the video useful! 😊 x
Loved this vlog. Really interesting to hear your favourite skirt patterns. I don’t wear skirts very often but all your versions are beautiful. Love your Camden skirts. It’s making me want to try the skirt - I’ve made a few pinafores xx
Thank you very much! I do like a skirt, I’m sure I’ve got enough corduroy ones to last a while 😁 I really want to try the pinafore version of the Camden! I remember you made one with Russian doll print I think it was? Super pretty 😊 xx
I love every skirt you made and they all look amazing on you. What great idea to shorten the estuary skirt. I made one in a chambray and I feel quite frumpy in it so I think shortening it might be the way to go. You’ve also inspired me to make changes to another skirt and a dress. Thank you for sharing 😁
Thank you very much for watching! I feel much more comfortable in a shorter estuary skirt, I love the midi length on others but it doesn’t feel right for me. I’m so glad to have inspired you 😊
Loving your top 5 patterns! So helpful. I’ve kept admiring your brumby skirt I’ve now sent for the pattern👍 I’ve made the Camden skirt in denim sent for some corduroy after watching your vlog. So you’ve been very enabling today! Much enjoyed always love your makes xx
Thank you so much! 😊 I hope you enjoy the brumby skirt pattern. Ahh I do love a corduroy Camden skirt! Thank you for watching 😊🥰 xx
Thanks, Cath...I’m dying to try the Camden + Brumby!
Thanks so much for watching! They are both really good skirt patterns, once you make one it’s hard to stop there 😊
Thank you sooo much for this vlog it literally came at the perfect time, as I’m making a olive pinafore in a heavy cotton, and have a small amount of fabric left - perfect for a winter skirt :) I was so confused, but thanks to you, I have decided to go for the tulip skirt.... wish me luck 💛
Oh brilliant, heavy cotton sounds perfect for the tulip skirt, hope you get on well with it 😊
Thank you for sharing all of those...I've only made the Camden skirt, but would like to try out the moss skirt and perhaps the brumby skirt as I do enjoy wearing skirts xx
Thanks so much for watching 😊 I do like a skirt too, I didn’t realise I’d made so many until I started to think about this vlog. Hope you enjoy the moss& brumby patterns if you do try them xx
Lovely skiers. You are a talented
seamstress!
Thank you very much! 😊
I just ordered the Brumby and Estuary skirt to sew fall and winter skirts. 🙂
Ah fab, hope you enjoy the patterns! 😊
Thanks for sharing your skirt loves. 👍👍😍
Thank you for watching! 💖
You are very talented 😍
Thank you very much 🥰
Love all your makes and agree with you on the top 5 😊. I couldn’t locate the freebie MN tutorial though 🤔
Thank you very much! Oh that’s strange re the free tutorial as the link in the vlog notes works for me 🤔 It should come up if you google ‘Megan Nielsen elastic waist skirt’. It’s page title is ‘beginner sewing projects: how to make an elastic waistband skirt’ it’s a blog post from nov 2009. Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Thank you for watching! 😊
I made the mistake of lining a skirt in Muslim. After pulling the lining down for a winter I made sure to use a slippy fabric the next time.
Oh no! The type of lining makes such a big difference doesn’t it!
Hi Cath, that was such a useful and helpful vlog 👌😁. I really appreciate these types of video and love seeing your favourites and versions that you have made 💕. I love them all but I think my favourite is the Nina Lee Camden... I adore the pocket and fit. I'm definitely considering that one and also the Moss skirt by Grainline Studio 👌. I haven't made a zip fly yet so might give a skirt a go first in perhaps a cheaper fabric to start with. Would you say the Camden had the best instructions for the fly? Thanks so much for all your work explaining everything so well and really looking forward to seeing your next five favourites 👍😁💓😘
Thanks so much Sally, I’m so glad you found the video helpful! 😊💖 I really love the shape and the pockets on the Camden too. It has an invisible zip at the back, rather than a fly zip. I found the moss skirt instructions good for a fly zip, or another pattern that has really great fly zip instructions is the chi town skirt & shorts pattern by Alina design co. I’ve only made the shorts from this pattern so far but the skirt is a bit similar to the moss skirt and their instructions are super detailed for a fly zip. Thanks so much for watching 😊💕 I’ll hopefully be doing another 5 favourites once half term is finished 😊🤞💕
@@madebycathcraft oh,that's brilliant Cath 👌😁...thanks for that.. I will go and look at that one 👍😘
You have great taste🙂
Thank you! 😊
Have you tried spraying and ironing starch into a slippy fabric? I haven’t tried it myself yet but I believe it helps quite a bit.
I’ve never tried spray starch no! It’s a good idea though, I should give it a go
I did enjoy your skirt patterns and seeing the finished skirts. Do you have favorite trouser patterns as well?
Thank you very much. I have some more 5 favourites planned but not trousers at the moment as I don’t wear trousers a lot 😊
Please, please, please can you also list where you get your fabrics from. The lining fabric for the rust coloured corduroy skirt sounds very interesting as polyester gives me a rash.
I’ve just updated the description box below to include where I got the fabric for each skirt. Some of the fabrics were bought a while ago so might not still be in stock but hopefully it will help show where I like to source fabric from 😊
@@madebycathcraft many thanks 💕🤗💕
Did you take a sewing class or did you learn on your own? I love your style.
Thank you! I am self-taught, I’ve never taken a sewing class 😊
The free Peppermint wrap skirt from Peppermint Magazine
Thank you! I’ll check that out
Lovely tutorial Cath.😍 How long do you sew?
Thank you so much 😊💕 I’ve been sewing for 2 years now
