    I like both skirts. I like the black/brown best.
    Don't hate me for saying this... To fix the black brown skirt, you need to pick out the stitching at the bottom, then let it hang on a skirt hanger for two days. Then you can trim away whichever is longest and resew. Problem fixed.
    Poor Winnie not being allowed to help with the pattern. I'm surprised that Pinky didn't attack the pattern. Not bad for his first day on the job.
    Pepper hissed and growled at Winnie. Sabrina jumped up on the ironing board and pointed at my half finished jeans with her paw while lecturing me. Bribes of catnip treats for Pepper and beef treats for Sabrina calmed them down. Those two are the only cats I've that don't like pattern tissue.

      @@Marlenasewing in my totally unbiased opinion they are the cutest. So is Pinky. Never a dull moment in my house. It's going to be years and years but my sons and I were thinking of a Norwegian forest cat or a black long haired munchkin.

    That pattern is a keeper - simple, elegant, wardrobe stretching... what more could a body ask for.
    I know you have your preferences, but both skirts are love. Well done, you. Kisses to both your boys. Happy to see that they're getting along.

    You can bump up the weight and structure of a light, drapey fabric by adding interfacing. Interfacing a whole circle skirt would be a lot of interfacing, but it's worth experimenting if you have a fabric you love that needs more structure for a project.

    • @Marlenasewing
      @Marlenasewing  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      100% agree! 😃 in this case, interfacing would also help the lighter fabric from changing colour due to the black backing, too! Sadly, I didn't have enough interfacing at home😭

    Winnie was a masterful office assistant. Kisses to him! The skirt was super cute! I tend towards pencil skirts and am only recently venturing out to skirts with more fullness and they're really flattering. I would love to see this one in a crepe material because I think that would give it the drape and the matte finish you're looking for. That said, I hear you on finding matching fabrics. We only have Joann around us and it's so depressing. it's one of the few things I miss about living in Portland, OR. I had both Fabric Depot and Mill End Store to get lost in. They were amazing. Hopefully I can find something like that here in the Northeastern US.

    And now I see I haven't commented on this one yet- which is a shame, since you actually made me frantically search for 60s and 70s wrap skirt patterns for a week now, hahaha (I'm more the mini skirt type). It looks so so good on you! And I can get that it might feel a bit to "glam" to wear it everyday, but they are so pretty and I hope you get a ton of wear out of them!

    The only thing I have to say about this is there are no pockets. I am always torn between the drappy-ness of my fabric because I live on a farm and when I go out I want fluffy skirts but when I'm at home I them with less fluff and you would think no problem just make them both ways but all my "pretty " clothes end up in the barn once they are stained or old and I want a new one or because I need clothes for the barn. I have found putting a petti coat under them helps

    Those skirts are gorgeous and now I want to make one. Also if Winnie stays clingy like that I would suggest buying a pet carrier that's like a baby carrier you wear. I think they're mostly for cats, but I had a friend that bought one for her small dog and the dog absolutely loved it. You'd be able to cuddle and work at the same time.

    When I saw you holding winnie with one hand and ironing with the other, I thought that you needed a dog carrier for him like those for babys, so that you can cuddle with him but have your arms free for ironing🐶 Also crazy how easy it is to make such a skirt, I would have guessed that it would be much more complicated! Are you planning on making one with a patterned fabric on one of the sides? That would make them less basic than one toned fabric but also even more cute ❤

    I personally love the drape of the black/brown but if you want to fix it then you can interface the skirt in a heavier weight fabric (maybe the black satin?)
