This is so well explained! I usually struggle with just written instructions, and this helped a bunch to understand the whole process. I will definitely buy the pattern and give it a try now that it isn't as scary 🥰
I am so pleased to have stumbled onto your channel. This skirt is something I have thought about for a long time , but I had no idea how to proceed. Thank you!
Please make more videos like this!! I wanted to have a simple luxurious bias cut skirt like this for a very long time. I will buy the pattern, thank you so much.
Thank you! I am videotaping some construction details for bias pieces, since I have a mini collection of bias patterns, but wanted to start with a skirt, since it's the easiest one to make
Very professional sewing, thank you. No puckering, ideal seams. Have one of your pattern (silk cami). Amazing instructions.I made a mistake, did not buy enough silk charmeuse for cami.
There is a first stitch that is done on the face side of the fabric, then the ban roll is folded twice, and the second stitch is securing everything in place. I hope this makes sense )
In this version I just did stay stitching, but I also use baby hem with ban rol as an alternative finish. Both work great, but with thicker fabrics like in this video, stay stitching made more sense.
Such a beautiful skirt and material, both of them. I can't sew but I would love to have a couple of these skirts in my wardrobe. I wish I could find a good seamtress who know how to make this skirt.
Hi! Thank you for the video ❤ very useful 🙏 I wanted to ask where did you get such big tissue paper? Or you just put together a couple of small sheets? 🤔 It looked like one big piece though…thank you for sharing!
I have a continuous tissue paper on a roll that I've purchased at Midtown Paper NYC. They do have a pretty good website and carry a lot of great products!
With longer bias skirts and narrow fabrics, you would have to add a joining seam. As far as fabric consumption, it depends on the size made, total length, and width of the fabric.
It shouldn’t be tight! Smaller stitches with a slightly looser tension: the idea is that when you make your first stitch of the French seam on the side, and let it hang, it doesn’t pull the skirt up.
Thank you for this amazing video. One question, if you could please help me out. If i want to make this same skirt but much longer, how would I do that? I want to avoid making it wide, so I want the same width as in the video. I tried this earlier and my skirt became wider and wider at the bottom, but I wanted it to be as tight as in the video. Thanks!!!
2 things u you oh can do: 1st just adding a slit, but you’d have to be pretty careful sewing it since it’s in the bias. 2nd: when lengthening the skirt, you want to measure the circumference of your step at that lengthened point (wherever it falls), and that’s the opening you want to target. Good thing with bias, unless it’s really wide, it still falls pretty straight, so it will look like a column visually, even if it’s not. Of course, don’t expect it to look like a true column like skirt)
I like taking advantage of the bias and eliminate darts if possible. There could be different reasons why darts were put into the pattern, but from experience, and feedback of many others who have made this pattern, you can avoid them.
Hi there! Beautiful skirt! How could you do this so that the elastic wont touch the skin at all? I find elastic really irritating on my skin so i want to cover it!
The sure way to cover elastic would be lining the whole skirt: if you follow the above process while attaching elastic to 2 layers instead of one, you’ll end up with elastic between the 2 layers. Hope this helps!

So glad to hear this! I myself prefer video instructions to written ones.

Yes, yes please do make more videos like this. Explanation, cutting and then sewing. This was a fabulous video with everything necessary within it.
Your bias skirt is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your luxury techniques!
Thank you! Glad it’s helpful!

My apologies for the late reply! Thank you for your purchase, and hope you’ll get to make this top over and over again!😍
beautiful skirt !!
I'm just loving that fabric!
Great skirt! Unclear about hemming. Is it stitched once or folded and stitched a second time? Thanks for clarifying:-)

Great skirt! Unclear about hem. Is hem just top stitched or folded over and stitched a second time?

Thank you for this video. I learned a lot!
Glad to hear!
Amazing video!! Thank you so much for making technical sewing understandable!!
My pleasure! I'm glad there is appreciation for it

I think with the pattern and these instructions it’s easier to find someone)

@@thepatternline8278 Got it, thank you! Will check them out!
Thanks for the amazing video😍. But what if we want to cut a longer skirt. Does it have a lot more fabric?
With longer bias skirts and narrow fabrics, you would have to add a joining seam. As far as fabric consumption, it depends on the size made, total length, and width of the fabric.
About the tension can you give some information. Should it be tight or loose?
It shouldn’t be tight! Smaller stitches with a slightly looser tension: the idea is that when you make your first stitch of the French seam on the side, and let it hang, it doesn’t pull the skirt up.

I just realized that this skirt has no back darts. I've seen some with darts. How do i know if I need a pattern with darts?
I like taking advantage of the bias and eliminate darts if possible. There could be different reasons why darts were put into the pattern, but from experience, and feedback of many others who have made this pattern, you can avoid them.

What was your total seam allowance at the waist seam?
From 1/4” to 3/8” will work very well!
Подскажите форма этой юбки трапеция?сколько см ширина по низу ?
It’s and a-line skirt. The sweep (bottom opening) depends on the size)
Beautiful🥰
Thank you :)
