      @CaroleChristian Thank you so much! I would start around "4 down from the top. To be safe, you could hold the skirt up to your waist and mark where you are comfortable inserting your hands as if pockets were there.

    When you had ironed the seam in the middle with the iron. Do you also use the sewing machine for that part to. Mainly so it will look like it came from the store or something? I'm still a beginner at sewing and wanna make the perfect maxi skirt.

    I made the shirt for my granddaughter who will be going a way to college soon and she absolutely loved it! She wants more! She could totally follow your video. I taught her how to sew years ago but lives far away from me. Making the shirt sparked a need to spend some time together sewing. I can’t wait. I subscribed to your channel and want to see if you have patterns with pockets. Also, the reason I chose your video is because you are so calm and easy to follow, it was so relaxing sewing with you. I love sewing but don’t have the time with my three grandchildren here a lot which cause stress and chaos. I would love to send you a picture of my granddaughter wearing the shirt is that possible?
