We were making a simple skirt (A line or pencil) by taking our own measurements and drafting bespoke patterns.
This method means that you end up with a skirt that fits your dimensions exactly! Just look at these lovelies:
This was such a lovely day, and seeing the excitment of these women as they learned how to make their own patterns and sew up skirts that fitted exactly was such a pleasure!
Well done ladies! Enjoy your beautiful new skirts and wear them with pride!
That looks like a great class!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for real women! Skirts look fab and everybody is so pleased with themselves!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I actually have a skirt that fits and I like. I had to re-jig
ReplyDeletethe waistband and darts when I got home. . Think my measurements weren't just right. However the skirt is fab.Now to do some appliqueing!!!!
Thanks so much to you and Heather for a great educational day.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant! (But did you forget to tell them they are meant to put their legs inside - they will get chilly arses, and funny looks!
ReplyDeleteCan't think what to write having read Hadley's comment. Only know I want to learn this.
ReplyDeleteNot only lovely ladies but clever ones too. Di x
ReplyDeleteToo clever! This is on my to do list! They look fab :)
ReplyDeleteBahahahahaha Hadley. I thought the same thing- they look a bit funny not a tally wearing them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great class though!!
Hadley - naughty girl! Teehee!
ReplyDeleteWell done all - love the fabric in the last photo! I bought a book about this but now I realise I should have come to you! Needless to say I haven't made one yet though I have all the bits I need!
I have a pile of books on pattern cutting and copying patterns but need to lose weight before I start any dressmaking. This looks a fab class!
