Lovely video, Whitney. In Ireland, it's always cotton season ;) Fantastic suggestions. I love using quilting cotton for dresses for dress a girl or for shorts for my daughter
I’m not a huge wearer of skirts but I made the Florence skirt by Size me Sewing this year - full, very detailed tutorial on RUclips which was excellent. I love it and wear it a lot. It fits perfectly, which is not something I often say of my makes!! Look forward to seeing what you create. 👍
Oooh I haven't heard of them! Now have to go and browse a whole new pattern designer! I love a designer who has youtube videos. Honestly I am completely coming around to skirts, especially longer ones. Its crazy how we make clothes for our bodies and then they still don't fit properly. I have the same problem, or they just turn out awful.
@@knotsandneedlescrafts I know what you mean! It’s so demoralising. And I don’t know how to fix ‘fit’ problems. I make something and it looks fine off but I put it on and 🤢. I seem to recall that the Florence only needs your waist measurement as it’s reasonably full. But it’s probably one of my most successful makes. Have fun. 😀
So demoralising. I really need to learn how to draft a basic bodice based on my own measurements, but trying to get my own measurements alone isnt easy either. I hope our sewing continues to improve and we stop hating our makes!
@@knotsandneedlescraftsabsolutely! I need to do that too. ‘Thoughtful creativity’ on RUclips has a good bodice drafting video (apparently) . I started it but messed up. So I need to try again. Hope you are successful with yours!
I loved this video. I love your suggestions. And, I love your philosophy! Thanks for all.
You're welcome. They are fun to make. I can't wait for all the Autumn videos. I plan on making some epic dream outfits.
