Skirt turned out well; it is the kind of staple that is a great wardrobe extender. Now that you have the "fit" right, it can be made up in so many different fabrics to further enhance your wardrobe. You had a very good month. Happy sewing.
Congratulations on your entry into round 2, you are brave and creative. The pockets came out beautifully and you will wear that skirt often, great basic. The little dog coat is adorable and so is the little dog! New fabric purchases are very pretty. I believe ottoman is the type of weave. The blue is so pretty, missed that one. I get overwhelmed with their sales and my stash is growing too quickly. Will be starting a part time job in a design studio in March so I will need some wardrobe updates. Wore a sort of uniform the past 4 years at Pier I, but sadly my store is closing. So the timing is right and I am back into sewing garments and have been so inspired by you and your selections. Thanks for another great post , keep them coming.
Thanks so much, Kathleen! I'm sorry about your store closing. There's one close to me and I hope it doesn't close because I always find something there that I have to have. Your job in the design studio sounds really interesting! What will you be sewing?
@@JanineSews I will be assisting the owner with projects and doing drapery estimates, installation sheets etc, I might make a few decorative pillows and table runners for clients. She has a small showroom with wonderful gifts and accessories that changes all the time. Should be great and right up my alley. I come from a custom background.
I loved the skirt pockets and the detachable one too. Did you indicate that you didn't get through to the active wear or was I misunderstanding that? Is there a public link so we can see what the others submitted or is it member only? I love the dog coat, she looks so sweet in it. Another enjoyable vlog Janine. 👍😍
Thanks, Micheline! I did not make it through to activewear in Round 3 and honestly, I was relieved. My coverstitch does the top stitch so it would be perfect but two or three garments in a week would have been overwhelming. The entries closed last night and it is AMAZING what they did! Here's a link to the Gallery of entries: sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/ContestGallery.pl?ContestID=344 My favourite is the outfit made by jfoley. She has exquisite taste and her garments always look very wearable.
Hi Janine!! Great vlog.. Love the skirt pocket & what an unique idea for the detachable pitcher.. Angie totally looks fabulous in her coat....

Thank you! Yes, that pattern will be quite durable. I'd like to play around with the shape of the slash pockets a bit but can see there will be many.
Very clever addition with the phone pocket!
Thank you for this podcast. I thought your third pocket on the skirt was genius.
Clever you, adding a detachable phone pocket. Love the colorful doggie coat. Thanks Janine!
Thanks, Karen!
loving that pocket!!!! Great make!
Cute skirt! I like in Georgia, too- your description of the weather is so true! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Charlene! Yes, it's been crazy this year. I wish that Mother Nature would just pick a season. And no more rain, please!
Very nice pocket idea and congratulations on making it to Round 2. Love your practical thinking!
Thanks, Carolyn! It's easy to get caught up in all of the sewing challenges and contests and make something that will never be worn.

That's a great skirt! Very useful and great colour to wear with so many other colours.
Thank you, Georgiana! It should go with a lot of my tops. I guess it's really a classic.
Hope to run into you at the upcoming sewing expo in ATL.
I love your pocket skirt ❤️☺️ Angie is adorable!!! I bought my husband an electric can opener for Valentine's day 😋how romantic!!
Thanks, Dorothy! If your husband WANTED a can opener then it is romantic 🥰 The first year we were married I got a chest freezer and was thrilled!
Your skirt turned out great and the doggie coat is adorable!
Thank you!
Hooray for Angie!!
She's sweet, isn't she? My sister is completely in love.
Congrats on getting to round 2! Great idea on the pockets! - Becky
Thanks, Becky!!
I love the detachable pocket idea!
Thanks! 😄
I love the detachable pocket, great idea and I will definitely add that to a future project. JENNETT
Thank you, Jennett!!
Look at you! Perfect skirt, Janine. You are a wonderful seamstress!
Aw, thanks Della! It's not perfect when you look at the inside ... but hopefully no one looks there!
Oh My! I have that scarf!
That's amazing! What are the odds?
I didn't actually wear the skirt with that t-shirt and scarf ... quick change for the video 😬

Cute skirt. How is the sewing room reorganization coming along?
Thanks, Carla! Well, for now it's just tidying. I think I need a declutter but everything I have seems to be essential.
