  • It's my birthday! I gave myself a gift - an easy and fun sewing project!
    This 3/4 Circle skirt was made using the tutorial from Miss Make: missmake.blogspot.com/2015/02/...
    Using the Omni Skirt Calculator for measurements: www.omnicalculator.com/everyd...
    The fabric is a wool/nylon/cashmere blend from Fabric Mart: www.fabricmartfabrics.com/
    My capelet is a janky version of this Truly Victorian Edwardian Capelet (which is a lovely pattern!): trulyvictorian.info/index.php...

      Me!!!! I'm totally a hufflepuff and I wish I'd had some black ribbon to add to the trimming, but the brown will have to suffice 💛🖤

    I was thinking you were going to bind the hem of the skirt with the ribbon. But it may have made it less swishy. Beautiful colours.

    When I hem circle skirts that I can't do a rolled hem on, I run a basting stitch and gather the fabric to fit. :)

Love flouncy skirts - I love to spin in them :) I love making belly dancing skirts this way but haven’t thought honestly about making me a twirly skirt! HUMMMMMMM

    The colour is stunning. I have a beautiful wool tartan garbadine, I orginally planned to be pants, but it is very tempting to make a skirt out of, after watching this. And happy Birthday.

  • @Bolshevik_muppet
    @Bolshevik_muppet 3 года назад

    I’m so excited to see this! I got some of the same fabric in a (few) different colors and was considering making a skirt from some of it, but wasn’t sure if it would work or be too heavy. Definitely planning to go forward with it after seeing this!

    • @DamesalaMode
      @DamesalaMode  3 года назад

    This was recommended to me as I am looking up many tutorials on making my first circle skirt. Amazing! Yes. No zipper. I shall do that.
    Also. Pockets. Now how to do the pocketsees.
    Thank you for the inspiration. Instant subscribe. 💜💜💜

    • @DamesalaMode

    So beautiful and you look really lovely in it. Happy birthday.
    I got a brownish wool from a stash swap yesterday and I am not sure what I'm going to make with it but after seeing your three quarter circle skirt I think I have an idea. I just hope there's enough - and I can match the pattern as it's a kind of check/plaid. Brown isn't a colour I would normally get but it looked like there was enough for me and it's going to be a skirt or trousers (not that I think there's enough for trousers)

    • @DamesalaMode
      @DamesalaMode  3 года назад

      I'd really love to do one in a plaid next - that would be super cute!

    As a traditional clothing enthusiast, I felt so much pain when you choose to shorten the skirt instead of adding a small piece of leftover fabric at that corner. I know it would probably be noticeable on a skirt of that length. And matching a piece could have been too much of a bother for a short simple project. And the skirt looks gorgeous!
    But the pain.... :'''''D

    Happy Birthday! Your skirt and cape are divine. I noticed that you and I have the same sewing machine and so I must ask ... sort of witchy spell did you use to change out its presser feet??? For the life of me I can not figure out how to attach any of the extra feet that came with the machine, save the metal one that was already attached to the shank. The Instruction booklet states to place the foot under the shank and release the lever until the foot snaps into place. Ah, nope. Any advice you could give me would be seriously appreciated. Thanks for making such inspiring videos.

    • @DamesalaMode
      @DamesalaMode  3 года назад

      All of my feet attach directly to the shank via the screw - no snapping in anywhere. I've never tried to use the snap-in ones before.

    • @curling.stones.and.xstitches
      @curling.stones.and.xstitches 3 года назад

      Huh. Interesting. Ok, well, I guess I’ll give my local sewing machine repair place a call then to see what’s what. It’s almost like they included the wrong sort because no matter what I do I can’t get them to attach. Thanks very much for the reply.

    Everyone is sewing full skirts and now I feel like I need one. This might be the one. I mean, how bad could drawing a circle be when we have the calculator! I don't usually do fitted waists, but WTH.
