Never apologise for buying rtw. Buying rtw can be an addition to your wardrobe in the same way as making your own is, so just enjoy. I love the skirt patterns you've chosen and your fabric choices. With the skirt your cloning is it cut on the straight grain or bias.If you'd rather leave that information for when you make the skirt vlog don't worry as I will be watching it. It is great that your finding a positive way to push through your sewing blip ❤
Thanks so much Maureen. I’m hoping it will ignite my sewing for sure - combined with going to the stitch festival this weekend! I believe it’s cut in the straight as its jersey. Thank you can’t wait to make it xx
Lovely to see you, am sure your sew-jo will be back in full flow soon! Great inspiration for your skirts and something I will be trying for sure. Just need to rummage in my stash now xx

Hi Angela , how much fabric do you think it will take for the jersey skirt please?
Oohh I haven’t checked yet but at a guess 1.5m I would say. I will make sure I let everyone know once I’ve made it. Sorry.
Thank you 🥰 xx
Zipper in back for copying skirt?
No not at all - elastic waistband so should just slip on and off xx
