How to draft a pencil skirt - just 3 measurements with simple steps!

Dear Sewing Friends, in this video I will share with you how I draft a simple pencil skirt block. Pencil skirt is a great garment to learn about dart and creating a garment that is more formfitting. In this video we will go over measurements and darts and how the construction works. I hope you will join me and explore your sewing and drafting talents!

• PLEASE NOTE: these are not patterns for clothes and garments included in the Membership
• Instruction sheets are a step-by-step written instruction on how I drafted this or that project, so that you can follow along. Instruction Sheets are available as a back catalogue, but there are no new Instruction sheets for projects starting with July 2022.
• The templates are ONLY for the small projects, like a basket, or coaster, or towel wrap and etc.
• I have also created sewing reference sheets and practice sheets, as well as sketches that you can use and some small-scale garment parts that you can use to practice "slash and spread" techniques and dart manipulations. Instruction sheets are focused on the drafting process and less on the sewing sequence as that is shown in the video. Sewing steps can be sometimes written out, and sometimes referenced back to the original video.
• Members Extra videos go into fabric selection, extra tips and tricks, best practices and some additional ideas from me
• I try to prioritize Members comments, especially if there is a question
• I try to post EARLY ACCESS videos for Members, meaning those are videos that you can watch earlier than anyone else and without ads :)
• Every week I post Members ONLY sneak peeks

Way to professionally address the negativity! I enjoy your voice, your accent, your inflection, your excitement, your articulation, your explanations, your content, your production value--everything! Don't change a thing. I am very particular about what I subscribe to and you made the cut. Keep up the incredible work!

[suemacfarlane]

Some people are just rude, and your response to these rude people is perfect.

[StLinhvcgo]

Omg, I can't imagine someone would post such a rude comment. You have a friendly sweet voice!

[amandaglidewell]

I just can’t imagine someone complaining about FREE educational content! I think that you are one of the best sewing content creators on YouTube. I would say you are in the top 5, and I spend a lot of time on here.

[lisamccoy]

You are smart, relatable, and very friendly! I've been sewing 50 years, and really enjoy your videos. I try to learn at least one tip or trick every time, so thanks. I love the way you handled the trolls.

[sewingwithgrace]

You have a lovely voice, I could listen to you all day. Also your videos are very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing

[debbiemanning]

I personally love to hear you talk and it is a pleasant voice. I also enjoy your tips. Your smile is infectious and makes me feel happy. I had decided to step away from garment sewing because I am apparently not very good at drafting and sewing apparel but everytime I watch you I feel the urge to give it another shot. Crazy, huh? Please keep that beautiful smile and personality coming.

Ignore those people who have nothing better to do than troll your channel. I think you have a lovely voice & you're so full of energy! Love learning new things from you! I've been sewing for I finally drafted my first top pattern after watching one of your videos.
Keep on making these. I love your content ❤️

[carolineszabo]

Your voice is actually one of the reasons I came back to watch more of your channel! And when I introduced my mom to your videos, she commented that she found your voice delightful!
If someone has animosity toward you or your channel, they need to take a good look in the mirror.
Lots of love from Canada!

I've watched many of your videos and am shocked that anyone would be that deliberately disrespectful. You addressed it professionally and respectfully. Thank you for sharing your talents and your explanations and tutorials are extraordinary helpful. Don't let naysayers shine on your light.

[christinaprice]

I love how you are explaining and making us feel like we can totally do this! (And I LIKe your voice and how you talk to us, it is very kind).

[Tmcunu]

Honestly I subscribed because of your voice, you are such a good teacher. I your voice and have learnt so much from you. Thank you!!! Let them leave we will stay. Much love from South Africa🇿🇦

[whoseIAM]

I absolutely love your videos! Soothing voice and so sweet. Thank you for your trade secrets and tips and tricks! I learn a lot from your vids!

[AngeVPV]

Great video as always! I finally understand the reason for the darts! Great teacher, great voice, great attitude!

[jessicahedrick]

I freaking love your voice!!! I feel like if you had a podcast I would just listen to it during the day even if I wasn't sewing.

[thelisashort]

Ma'am, I just want to say "thank you". I love to sew, and I've always wanted to learn how to draft my own patterns. On that aspect, I've learned more from you than any other book I've purchased. I greatly appreciate your time and talent. Blessings to you and your family.

[djtblizzle]

You know what? You’re a lot nicer than me. Screw those people!! I love your voice, and I absolutely love the fact that you explain in such detail. People have gotten so used to these garbage shorts videos and reels, that they want all of their information 30 seconds at a time with zero explanation. I’m old school. I learned how to cook and sew and do woodworking from PBS shows. They explained everything just like you do. Keep doing you. Like you said, the rest of us will still be here loving and supporting you! 👍🏽❤️

[Sewme]

Whoever said that can go! All this helpful free information she gives is amazing!

[tntina]

Oh my goodness! People can be so rude! Most of us here appreciate the information you provide and have no issues with your voice. People who make comments like that, hate themselves, it’s nothing personal, don’t sweat it.

[silvinhajusti]

I cannot imagine someone not liking you! or your videos! These people sit behind their screens to spread negativity to everyone. I will tell you this: I watch your videos even if I know for a fact I am not gonna try to make that piece. I've struggled with depression for the better part of the last 15 years, and I even mentioned to friends how your videos always make me feel better. You are so relatable and friendly, and calming and positive. And, just your response to the negative people makes me like you even more. Thank you for doing what you do. If nobody else, you are helping this lady here go through quarantine. <3
