Pockets. I love Pockets. Since I’ve learned how to sew them I am adding pockets in all of my skirts and dresses ❤❤❤

Congratulations! 🎉 I need to do that, too!

I have been on a quest to make adjustable skirts after seeing the genius of 18th century petticoats. I’ve made two petticoats, with the slits at the side seams like this and while I love the adjustability I don’t love the feeling of tape tied around my waist 😆 so I’m always trying to figure out new ways. I like the idea of the buttons!! At least that way you’d only have the tape around your waist once.

Not-so-secret-secret: I realized once this was finished that the tape isn’t actually necessary! It makes the skirt a little bit easier to put on, but not that much. The buttons do all the work! So if the tape bothers you it can be omitted. :D

@@KristineVike in a garment with buttons or elastic waistband playing a crucial role I always have a safety pin attached to a seam allowance just in case...

Really like the use of buttons in place of the front tie!

I am in love with this. One day, I will make a wool skirt (after I've saved enough money to justify buying the fabric), and I *will* make them adjustable, because our bodies will do what our bodies will do, and we shouldn't shame them for it!

I really appreciated this video and your beautiful sewing. I've made a couple of this type of skirt in cotton for the summer but really liked your wool version with buttons. You've inspired me to make one ready for winter. I do have some wool already that's been waiting to be used. Thank you.

The wool is so pretty! And adjustable skirts are always very nice

Fabulous!!! Happy working and walking!!!

I am by nature a pants person. I've never worn skirts regularly, and it's always been because they feel like they would get in the way. I see such beautiful historybounding skirts, but worry about their fuss level. But I love this skirt. It looks beautiful and cozy on you, and not at all in the way. It might just make me finally try to make and wear one...

I... actually like pants a lot too! I just haven't gotten around to practice drafting them yet. But it is something I wish to explore more in the not-too-distant future! If you wish to give skirts a try through, I find that keeping them above ankle length helps with them getting in the way when I am out and about. And always-ALWAYS make sure to add pockets even if it is just a "fast" make. Your future self will thank you.

love this!!!!!!!

A wider waistband might have been easier. I like the button adjustment idea. Will steal it soon.

Lovely!

I love it.

This is great, but It would be great to see how the adjusting worked.

"...that thing where you fold the fabric down before gathering to reduce bulk in the waistband": what *is* that thing? I can't picture it and I would love to know since I'm planning to make some gathered wool skirts like this before next winter!

@KristineVike

Жыл бұрын

I think what I am referring to is the historical practice in cartridge pleated skirts where they would bind off the top of the skirt separately from the waistband, and then fold the top of the skirt down, so just the top/fold of the pleats would be stitched to the waistband/bodice. This is extra useful in cartridge pleated skirts, since the added bulk at the top where the seam allowance is folded down can help the cartridge pleats be more defined. So there is no seam allowance *in* the waistband. They would just be stitched edge to edge. Hope that helps!

Oh, the sonntag? It was a very generous gift from a good friend and I love it! Warm exactly where you need to be warm and leaving your arms free to work. I believe it is this pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crocheted-sonntag

Love it.

Such a lovely assistant you have! In regards to the buttons, the ones you used are pretty, but I'm wondering if they don't feel uncomfortably big if you use the tightest ones and the others are left below the waist line.

If you make another wool skirt, try lining it with a silk. It sounds off, but silk keeps the wind from blowing through

A taller waistband may disperse some of the added bulk?

What a lovely video! I've been looking for a skirt pattern that is as adjustable as this one is, and am going to try to make my own! I am a little bit confused about the placements of the pockets, however. Are the pockets only sewn into the back of the skirt, or the front of the skirt? Does it not impede on practicality when only one side of the pocket is attached to the skirt?

@KristineVike

Жыл бұрын

I did not find the practicality to be too much impeded by having the pocket attached to only one side. But if that is a worry of yours, you could always attach a placket to the edge of the back panel, like I did in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGiBydydh7HLZ84.html But I did attach the pockets to the back of the front panel in this one. But if adding a placket, I would attach it to the back panel.

Hi! I'm making a similar kind of skirt right now. Did you make any adjustments with the back panel to account for rump? Or is your hem just a little shorter in back? I made my back panel longer, but with a checked pattern I'm trying to match up, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the mismatched lengths at the side seams and pocket slits.
