Can't believe how many videos I had to go through to find this simple video. This is so calming

[martieflagg]

I used to make skirts like these by hand, no pattern, no sewing machine. Simple top, blazer and heels and I was ready for work.

'i don't know what happened?'
I laughed, such a familiar phrase in a material store.
Lol
Thankyou for your help.

Me I have cupboards full A dear friend went into a home and she had a life times worth of material and l was lucky to get 3 car loads ! When l saw how much it was my husband had a fit and said you can’t keep it all but guess what!!! I fitted it in and still l buy more!!! Xx

Back in the 1950s, I wore homemade skirts almost like your's to school. Mine were made from cotton. Thank you for showing me how good these skirts look. This type of skirt would be perfect for Summer. I don't wear shorts or short pants. Long, pull on skirts will be perfect. I need to get my T-shirts out and go shopping for fabric to match my best T-shirts. I thought at first that you had made a matching blouse to match your skirt. Making a matching blouse of the same fabric and print will give me the look of a dress. Plus the skirt and blouse may be worn with other tops and bottoms. Thank you for this wonder idea nd video.

I had a few skirts like that when i was a young girl, mum made for me!!! Then i made myself a few as i grew older they are comfortable and easy to wear, no zips or panels!!! I also cut down a few dresses i no longer wore and gathered them with elastic in the waistline!!!

🤣🤣 funny how fabric just jumps in to our basket 🧺

My hips are a size larger than my tops so dresses either have to be homemade or altered.Thus I usually wear skirts and tops.I usually prefer mid calf length - I'm 73, so legs no longer good looking. Thank you for this very simple method to make a skirt.

Laura you really made me giggle!

Elastic = a big bag of fabric!!

Fabric stores are dangerous and deliciously tempting 😆.
Nice skirt, thank you for sharing as always.

[rubyharvey]

Very beautiful skirt, love how you showed the option to wear as a dress also. Beautiful job, Thank you

Once again i learnt something new: non roll elastic! Who ever invented this: thank you so much!

[jomercer]

Rayon challis is my favorite flowy skirt fabric.

[northernkarma]

Thank you for mentioning the "non roll elastic". I had no idea such a thing existed and I need that for comfort for sure!!

Shalom from Texas, I'm a super beginner sewing person, I have been wanting to learn how to make skirts as I love how it is flattering to a woman especially with hips and butt, you make this look so easy, I set a goal to learn to sew this summer . I will be following your videos and guidance thank you so much 👑🛡️🗡️🔥🧬🌈

[cherylmurray]

I've been making these for years...we call them Mom's 15 min skirt!! I don't hem...just run it through the serger...these are generally very casual skirts...so that type of hem is fine!! I have several of these skirts in my arsenal of summer must haves!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you so much for this video. You make sewing a skirt look too easy. My abilities are so bad, my mother said she didn’t have the patience to teach me, and she was right. I retained nothing from my sewing lessons. She passed a few weeks ago and watching this video reminded me of her. She made me the most gorgeous dress and also my bridesmaid dress for my friend’s wedding. She was truly gifted.

Im going to get some fabric and give this a go. Thank you, again.

[RustyBobbins]

My favorite outfit is a flowy skirt, camisole, and cropped short sleeve light sweater or thin bolero style over piece. So when I saw your outfit I was like YES! This is mine kind of sewing! I have just the fabric for it too, waiting to be made. And that’s exactly how I do elastic to keep it from twisting.

[golfgranny]

I was taught to sew a narrow seam along the top of the elastic to keep it in place along with the bottom row of stitches.

[yvonnemacleod]

Thank you I have just bought beautiful floaty fabric with a lace edge I did not know what to make with it I just knew I had to buy it…I now know exactly what I am making thank you so much for the inspiration. As always a great video and thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Kind regards from Scotland xx

I'm looking to make more skirts this summer. I have a condition and since 2014 I haven't been able to wear pants until less they're the stretchy/exercise ones. Can't handle the seam in jeans. So I make a lot of skirts. I like a floral or some sort of pattern and most in stores are solid colors or a pattern that's just not for me. Thanks for sharing. You're such a good teacher.
