This is a great tutorial, but even better was the link to pattern. The instructions & explanations, all the additional links, being walked through the whole process was helpful for me as a newbie. This was my first garment sewn using a pattern & it turned out so well!
I've just finished making this beautiful skirt. It took me a lot longer than it probably should have, but I wanted it to be just right. Think it is the most pressing I have done for a make and will continue to do so in future ones because it makes it look so much better. Thanks for a fab tutorial and pattern! Can't wait to make more of your designs 😊 xoxo
Oh yay 🥰🥰 so glad you loved the Frankie and also the pressing! It such a secret weapon in sewing - just makes everything look so professional and polished! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a beautiful comment...❤️
This is my first ever sewing project. Love the design of the skirt! I just tried ironing the double roll hem on the frill... SO HARD! Haha mine is nowhere near as neat as yours. But hopefully it will be okay once I sew it... :P
Totally! That is the trickest part of the project (which is funny as there is no sewing involved just some killer ironing skills) 😜 Some tricks to help: + Have a little spray bottle to hand so you can really dampen the fabric at those super curved sections - makes it a lot easier + If you are really struggling with a section try coming at it from the other side Hope your skirt turns out amazing and so awesome to hear this is your first project (of many we hope!!) 🥰
Love the skirt. I am just under 5ft 2 and have had to reduce the width of the frill and the skirt and I am very happy with the result. I will make another as it looks like a fun skirt to wear. Hopefully I will have somewhere to wear it this summer. I would appreciate some written instructions and a hint how to wrap the ties as I'm not sure how many times I need to wrap them round my waist, perhaps a short addition to the TH-cam tutorial in the future. Wish you all the best.
Hi Valerie, so glad you liked the skirt! All our new pattern releases also have written instructions after the same request from some of our sewists! We are working on getting them added for our earlier releases too! Hope you find somewhere wonderful to wear the Frankie! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this awesome pattern! I am cutting the Main frill and I am confused, in the pattern says I to cut 5 (size 14) and in the video tutorial you only sew 4 together. Even in the cutting plans from sizes 12 to 18 there's 5 Main frills.
Hiya! Sounds like you have our Frankie 2.0 which is different from the pattern in this tutorial! If you follow the written instructions and short video tutorials in the instructions you be good! If you need more help you can flick us an email create@madelabel.co
I just sewed this skirt today and I can't wait to wear it this summer! 😍 I was just wondering how you're supposed to tie it though? The waistband being so much longer on one side confuses me, I've never had a wrap skirt before 😆😅
Great video, thanks for the info, I am new at sewing and I have a probably silly question but in the pattern for the two short parts of the waistband it says to cut two of each one (for the interface as well) but the video doesn't refer to interface. Could someone explain to me?
Absolutely beautiful pattern and super clear instructions, thank you. I used a material that's too stiff so the frills that goes under the wrap is bunching up too much. Oops! It's such a nice tutorial I think I'll attempt it again another day with a softer material. Still very pretty though!
Good Morning, Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern for free. I have the downloads for sizes 4-16, however there is no information document attached. I'm not sure what size to cut out, since I do not have any finished measurements. My hips are 40" and my low waist is 34-35". I usually wear a size 8-10 in ready made clothes. Thank you for your help.
Hi Giuliana, Thanks for the message. There should be a PDF called READ THIS_ FRANKIE WRAP SKIRT. If you are having trouble finding it if you shoot us an email at create@madelabel.co and we can get you sorted with info doc!
Hi Pauline, Thanks so much and sorry you have had trouble getting the skirt! If you flick us an email create@madelabel.co we will get the pattern to you!
Hello! The skirt ended up being longer than the frill, but I can't access the link on the video for the basting stitch and ease. Where can I find this information?
We have a blog that will take you through the steps. www.madelabel.co/studio/ease So in your case you would want to sew the basting stitches along the seam edge of the skirt which will allow you to ease the skirt to fit the frill.
Yep you could make it without the frill, it will take off quite a bit of length so just depending on your height you may just need to add a little length on the bottom and curve of the the frill. The other option would be to make the frill out of a different material. If you have any more questions always feel free to pop us an email create@madelabel.co happy sewing 🌻
hey, i download the pattern and cant wait to try this method. But i want the skirt to be longer, is there any way i can adjust the length to knee length?
Hi! There are a few ways for sure that you can make the skirt a little longer, depending on how much length you want to add. The first way would be to add length to the frill (which would work best if it's just 2-7cm you want to add). Add the extra length evenly to the entire hem side of the the MAIN FRILL PATTERN PIECE, then on the TOP FRILL PATTERN PEICE add the extra length to the hem side where the pattern joins to the main frill pattern piece then gradually curve it in so the top remains the same. The second way would be to extend the skirt panel pieces using a method like this th-cam.com/video/0UfhQaHKZ_Q/w-d-xo.html you just need to remember that however much extra length you add to the seam of the side skirt panels (that joins to the skirt to the frill) you will need to add that length of the frill, divided by 4 and add evenly to all frills. Best advice is to just give it a go with a second hand sheet until you get the right fit - have fun and experiment!! And if you find the frill is a little short or long you can check out our hack of using a little ease to get the pattern pieces to fit www.madelabel.co/studio/ease If you need any further help you can always email create@madelabel.co happy sewing xx
@@madelabel Thank you so much for replying! ill be sure to give this a try. And thank you for giving out free pattern and very detailed tutorial. Definitely SUBSCRIBED!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCHHHHH!!!
I just printed the free pattern! And I noticed it says it’s a size 6?! I am worried that it’ll be too small... and I looked back on the website and couldn’t find a way to print a different size?
Hi Savannah, When you sign up for the Frankie Wrap Skirt you should receive a ZIP file. In the file there will be an individual pattern for sizes 4-16. Then you can print the one that best matches your size from the finished measurement chart in the Information Doc that will also be in the ZIP folder. If you need any further assistance you can email us at create@madelabel.co
made label thank you so much! I got it printed and assembled :) but all of my fabric is not big enough! So I have to wait to make this amazing pattern!
Yep it's a killer for sure - by the end of the skirt you'll be a pro at rolled hems!! A little trick is to slightly pull the fabric as you fold it - makes it a bit easier 😬
Hiya. The hole in the waistband is to thread the tie of the skirt through so it wraps. You will definitely need a hole in the waistband but you can do a button hole if you prefer!
Hiya! When you get the free pattern from our website it has the fabric usage in the information! And if you have any further questions you can always email create@madelabel.co
Hiya, Sorry you never got the pattern, we sometimes have issues with certain spam filters - if you shoot us an email create@madelabel.co we can get it sorted for you!
I followed all of the steps to get the pattern but nothing came to my e-mail I already sent an email to the address that was at the website, can you help mee I really want to try out this project. PLEASE. Thanks.
Hi Andrea - sorry you haven't received the pattern. Sometimes the spam filters can block it! If you email us at create@madelabel.co we'll get it right over to you! Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Chloe, At the end of the project you shouldn't have any raw edges! They would all be enclosed in french seams or finished with the double rolled hem!!
Hi!!! I made ma firs one Frankie Wrap Skirt. Love it and I'm planning to made another one. I sent you a picture via message on Instagram. Hope you like it.
Hey Tamika, so sorry you having trouble receiving the link, we have some trouble with spam filters delivery it sometimes. If you shoot us an email at create@madelabel.co we can get it out to you!
Hiya - so sorry you are having trouble receiving the Frankie Wrap Skirt. We sometimes have delivery issues with certain spam filters but if you shoot us an email create@madelabel.co we can get you sorted!
Hi Regina - oh no! Sounds like the waistband was attached the wrong way around. The longer waistband length should go over two panels (side panel and back panel) and the shorter waistband section should just go over one section. Check out time stamp 15.46. What I suggest you do (if your waistband is all sewn together already) is cut the excessively long tie to a place where is makes sense and sew that raw edge up. Then unpick the end of the short waistband and sew on the section you cut off the other tie! 😊 Hope that helps!
@@madelabel so, I did attach the open hole part to the one side panel, and the long single piece sewn to the back and other side panel. Thanks for the suggestion.
I love how you explained the French seam! It helped alot!
Awesome, think the extra care and time of the French seams is so worth it for the durability and super profesh looking garments!
This is a great tutorial, but even better was the link to pattern. The instructions & explanations, all the additional links, being walked through the whole process was helpful for me as a newbie. This was my first garment sewn using a pattern & it turned out so well!
That was a great tutorial! Loved how you paid attention to the details, like French seams. Thank you so much!
Oh thanks so much, glad it was helpful!
Fantastic and thank you for teaching me French Seams - love it
So welcome Wendy! French seams are soooo good. Can throw them in the washing machine too!

Oh no! Yep always the silly mistakes when we rush. 😅 Hope you managed to unpick and fix it up!

Hi Aracelis, we highly recommend rayon for the Frankie as it' soft and drapes beautifully on the frill!!
@@madelabel Thanks for taking the time to answer!!! 🙌💕💕
Hi! When I cut the pieces from the fabric, is the 5/8 inch seam allowance included or should i add it? :)
Hi! The 5/8 sea allowance is included in all our patterns!
Love this skirt, but I'm a little short on fabric! Is it possible to make this without the frill? What adjustments would be needed??
Yep you could make it without the frill, it will take off quite a bit of length so just depending on your height you may just need to add a little length on the bottom and curve of the the frill.

Whtat is the purpose of the hole n the waist band...? Can i make it without the hole on the waist band?
