Thanks for watching! Hope you've enjoyed!!!

Also her: "because I don't have a brain, and I didn't think this through"
trying to change my weardrobe to only vintage stuff, this will help me a lot. It turned out so great!!! you are very talented!
Thank you! And good luck with changing your wardrobe, that's quite an undertaking
I’ve always wore some vintage for the last 40 years since I was a teen. My friends were dressing punk rock and I was dressing 50’s housewife at 18. I still love vintage clothes and now have a vintage trailer from the 50’s
That is a stunning skirt. I would pay a lot of money for it. All it’s missing is large pockets!
I've done a video on inserting large pockets into it!!!! It was a momentary lapse in judgement but I did remember eventually
I hate pockets in my skirts.
Vielen dank. Nanny used to make a skirt like this! She was in Land army during the war and during that time, she fell in love with Grandad! Really appreciated your help. I am going to make it too! Sie sind ein Genie!
I loved watching this skirt come together. You executed so many techniques flawlessly. And the result was gorgeous.
I absolutely LOVE this skirt! The fabric! The pleats! The waistband! Ugh so pretty. A little tip, use 2 buttons for a thick waistband and sew your button holes vertically. Great job 👍 I will subside.
i love this skirt!! ive been wanting to incorporate more skirts in my style and i WISH i could sew like that!! keep it up xxx
Do it!! It's great fun
I'm gonna attempt this fingers crossed
Very beautiful and great quality too. Enjoy wearing it.
The fact that you took a chunk of this video to just film you and your cat chilling makes me such a fan lol. I love all the beautiful details you added to this skirt, and the vertical stripe fabric is stunning.
The skirt looks great! I love all the attention you put into matching up the stripes :)
Thanks!!
I did one year of embroidery every day for about eight hours a day during lockdown...1 year... and I loved it and it was very relaxing but I gave my hand tendinitis. Now I’m learning to sew, I do like hand stitching but it does cause me pain.
You are so talented. I'm sorry if this comes off weird or wrong, but I love your voice! Especially your accent; it's gorgeous. I've been interested in wearing vintage clothing sense I turned 9.
What an adorable skin!!!!
Wow! Beautiful job.
I normally wait to watch at least 5 videos to see if I like a TH-camr before I subscribe but this was hilarious and the skirt is beautiful so fuck it! Subscribed!
And she thought only three people where watching. Like if I should subscribe
This skirt is lovely and it really suits you! Well done on making it and please give your cat a kiss on his little head for me!
Hello sewing human! This is a super pretty skirt!
Thank you!
I never thought of adding pleats above the waistband, genius!!
My cat likes to help me with my sewing projects as well, but once she claims the ironing board, anything I leave on the ironing board is now hers, and she'll not give them up without a fight.
This sounds familiar 😂
Same here. The ironing board is her favorite spot and anyone disturbing her highness will get the paw XD She also claims the fabric and likes to destroy the patterns (it's obviously the greatest paper to rip apart)
@@honigmaus5568 I find if I put a tea towel folded in half on the table next to the fabric, he will sit on that instead because it's a square and more appealing to him. Try it, it's saved many white projects from black cat fur
“Poppers” I love this way more than snaps 😂 it’s cute. The skirt looks amazing! Also omg hi kitty ❤️
You're clearly not a failure, you're brilliant! Look at this amazing skirt that you were able to sew with no pattern! You really shouldn't say things about yourself like "because I'm not smart" or the like. I know people often just say things off-hand, just joking around, but you really have such an amazing talent that other people would love to have and are obviously very smart! I've spent years working to overcome negative self talk, so I always notice it! Anyway, lovely skirt and creative problem solving with the gap at the top. It looks really good on you. Keep it up!
Thank you for such a kind comment, you've really made my day... Week... Month
Such an incredible skirt. Vintage skirts are always classy. Good job!!
It came out super cute ❤❤ I LOVE IT
Love love love this skirt and your sense of humor! Very talented young lady!
Thank you so much!
Love this skirt. X
I was having the same problem with one of my skirt (fabric malformed cuz buttons) I was thinking just stitching it togetter and putting a zipper somewhere else but this is a way better solution !!! It looks great btw
Put your buttonholes in vertically instead.
Love the skirt!!! Totes gorge and your solution with bar and hook is what I would’ve suggested to get the fitted. I agree with the button hole stitch being a satisfying stitch - when I do embroidery, I get really chuffed when they call for a French knot, those are my favorite.
Wow love the skirt, it looks beautiful on you. Looking forward to watching more videos, and I absolutely love your cat.
Absolutely love this skirt!! The pleating matches with the stripes in such a satisfying way!
Omg I want a skirt like that now! I'm gonna have to attempt to make something similar at some point. It's gorgeous! She did such a good job!
I love how it turned out. Love the stripes and the waistband too. Ingenious make. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow i have never heard of most of these stitches :O thank you for showing and naming them!!
Also the skirt is so beautiful, i love it. The fabric is lovely, the pleats are so beautiful
I loved the skirt but my favourite part is it's waist line , awesome 👍
Beautiful! 💙
Love this so much!!!
You did a great job with your skirt looks great ❤️I love how you pleated above the waist band well done.
Thanks!
And everyone thought I was crazy for calling those whopper poppers. Lol Your skirt looks amazing!!
Wow thats a beautifull skirt!! Love your eye for detail 🥰❤
That was such a great video! You're really funny and incredibly talented!
Skirts like this are my main motivation to lose weight hahahha so I'm saving this link for future use!
Omg you're so kind. You can do it! I believe in you
Absolutely love the ruffles on the top!
Beautiful! I always put hooks and bars at the top to make the button look good 👍
I love your voice over so much. Perfect video to hand sew to
It's one of the most beautiful skirts I've ever seen!
Thank you!!!!
This skirt came out beautiful!
this skirt turned out so pretty!! i love how the striped fabric looks on this style
You are so wonderful at this and so entertaining while you teach! You have the perfect amount of
Followers to keep going with a big push! You’d be able to hire all the help you need!
Love this video xx 🥰 your pets are so delightful 💞
Aww thank you 💜💜
Look at you!🤩, so pretty in your new skrit!
Thank for sharing this😊
It really turned out great! I wish I had the motivation and skills needed to do this
Your skirt came out beautifully! But please don't put yourself down when you make mistakes!! Seeing you call yourself brainless was kinda sad for me, because I actually really like and appreciate when youtubers show their mistakes and how they problem-solve. It makes me feel like I'm not alone when I screw up sewing! And it can be really useful when/if I encounter the same problem to recall what other people did to fix it!! Anyway, please be kind to yourself!!
Great tutorial, thank you! What a beautiful skirt
Thank you!
It occurs to me that the waist band would have puckered/pulled less if you put two buttons on the band itself. Had I been the one to make this skirt I would have just put a safety pin through the button hole either side of the button once it is sitting correctly. That or make the waist band button a fake one and just use hook and eye closures there.
You did well with this skirt though. It looks really pretty.
I have now realised I could have just moved to button over, because I put it in the middle of the button hole not on the edge
CUTE SKIRT! Me likey :D
it's very cute and the way you did the center placket looks amazing!
Thank you!
The finish on this is so nice!
Thank youuu this is the first skirt i have make
Love it! I think I need to make one, but I might simplify the pleats above the belt. Thank you for the video :D
You make it look so easyy!! Now i am really motivated to give this a try and this looks really good 💞
Try it!! It's my favourite skirt
I absolutely love how your skirt turned out!! You really did an amazing job!! :) take care of yourself 🌼🌼
Thank you
I love your voice over work. Cute skirt! Great job!
Thank you!
ahhh this skirt is so beautiful! also you're absolutely hilarious!
Ironing also sets the stitches into the fabric.
ooh want to make something like this in the future but in pant form
yes! that would look so cool!!!!
I have just subscribed to you, merely on the power of this skirt! You look great. :D Looking forward to more cool sewing content!
Muito bonito
Really pretty
It is pretty
I’m moving schools and there rlly isn’t much skirts I could find that fits the dress code so I’m going to make my own but all black. And also sneak some of my style into it. Thank you sm💖
Snd me a picture when you've made it!! I'd love to see it in black!!
That's such a beautiful skirt! I wonder how your sewing machine got through all the fabric layers :D
Thanks! It did die shortly after which may or may not be related 😂
Tips for bulki fabric:
-Iron, Iron, Iron.
-Use a jeans needle. They are thougher and perce easier the tissus.
-Go more slowly, your machine is hard working.
-Cut on layiers where you can.
-Use a longuer stiches.
-Look on tour machine guide witch thickness she can take.
Omg so glad I just found your channel! 💕
This is absolutely gorgeous omg!!
💜💜💜
If you put buttonholes in vertically the buttons won't slide across and you won't get that gaping
It's beautiful!!!
Feel free to include footage of ironing belt loops! It's the redundant things that make sewing videos like this so soothing to watch...
Beautiful thank you for the tutorial!
It has great movement!
Дуже гарна спідниця, зараз дуже важко знайти такого майстра, який робить дійсно гарно і ділиться цим з іншими, однозначний лайк) Працюй в цьому ж напрямку, ти просто молодчинка)*
would verticle buttonholes avoid this issue? I love the end result though! i think i need some stripey fabric now.
Possible, idk if it would gape though. I'll have to try it for future reference. Also do it!! The stripes work really well!!
I feel the same, like: oh yes, give me some striped fabric now!
The horizontal buttonholes work better for big buttons. The trick is to align the shaft of the button not with the center of the buttonhole but with the end closest to the edge of the skirt. And a skirt hook-and-bar is better for the waistband.
Your skirt looks gorgeous nonetheless!
you probably won't see this, but I have about the same sewing machine as you and mine hates me? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, but the thread keeps bunching up and then it blocks and never sews more than a few stitches... do you have any tips? (for now I'm just handsewing everything, which I love, but it is a lot more work)
Lovely skirt, thanks for sharing your process! Also tell your cat I love him. What's his name??
I love it😍 how much fabric you use? And how long skirt is?
Super cute! Also really like your blouse. Did you make it?
Thanks! No, I got it in a sale but I really like it so I have been considering making another based off it
I bought that fabric like two weeks ago and I love your skirt! I was also going to make a skirt similar to yours. I only bought two yards though. Is that enough?? I’m about your size.
Depends, how wide is the fabric?
Would moving the button over a few millimeters not fix that?
Yes that would have been the smart thing to do
I'm planning on making my own skirt, and I love the pleating in this. How wide was the fabric "tube" that you pleated? Did you just randomly chose a width or is it a specific measurement?
Nice
Can i know what fabric that you use in this video?
So cool
what kind of cloth was that you used???
love it you did a great job! xoxo perfect to me
how much fabric did you use??
Wht training have you had may I ask?
The "I'm a genius" to "I don't have a brain" pipeline >>>
A labrador. Hi labby
HEY U yes u the TH-camr u have a new subscriber
Yaaayyyy
❤️
17:59 your shirt matches your cat's nose!
Lovely skirt by the way- I'm inspired to make my own :)
What kind of fabric was it made out of? It looks a bit like linen, but I thought I should ask.
I think it's polyester, its from fabric land
I'd think pockets would be quite easy to add into the design. Never heard snaps called poppers before. Makes sense though.
In german those are called “press buttons“ :D
I have a separate video for adding pockets if you're interested. I'd never heard them called snaps before either 😂😂
button holes needed to go top to bottom not side to side, gorgeous skirt though
how much fabric in total did you use , great video btw 😊
Hard to say because I used a lot of scraps and depends how full you want your skirt. If your fabric is super wide you could probably do 2 meters but if it's not I'd say 4?
Fairgard thank you ☺️
