I needed to engage every single brain cell to vaguely understand these pockets. Genius
took me a while to come up with this method... it's inspired by pockets in tailored trousers :)
I love this method, but wander if its possible to french seam to eliminate the bias binding or overlocking.
I devour every single video you make. The work you do is quite literally unparalleled. I love the history you share, and my own sewing has improved so much watching you. I hope you never stop creating content, because it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to watch. Thank you for the work you’re doing.
This is my first video and it's already abundantly clear that this is the case. I love to see the passion!!
GIRL your obsession with details is just impressive. I'd never have the patience to align all those lines perfectly. This shows why designer clothes are expensive as hell because they definitely do the same (at least I hope so)
Also, I noticed you have quite a lot of views but almost no comments in comparison. So here is a comment for the algorithm :)
Last but not least: I totally agree about the modern trend to overwash clothes. I only wash my dresses if I have sweated profusely or spilled something over it. I wear dresses and skirts at least 7 times before I wash them
And I often spot clean, if I've spilled, so I don't have to wash it. Washing (at least in a machine) wears things out faster than anything!
I think it also depends on fabric. I have a red cotton dress that ive worn throughout summer that still smells fresh as lomg as i hang it up. If i wear polyester and sweat a little the smell does not come out after being hung or anything and it has to be washed. Even a little bit of sweat itll smell pretty bad
What an ode to circle skirts!
The favourite one I own is passed down from my grandma, and she had it made in the 50s out of a rougher moire silk. Perhaps my favourite feature on it is the metal zipper, and vintage metal zippers with a cotton band are something that has become a staple in any thrift run for me - unrivaled flexibility, durability and smoothness.
The 'invisible' stitch you speak of (should I have identified it correctly) is a prickstitch, and is also what can be used to insert those beautiful metal zippers by hand.
I digress, but looking forward to using your pocket instructions in my next skirt projects - I rarely add them exactly because of the dreaded pull and distortion of shape...
Looking forward to the next installment in this series!
Moire silk is my absolute favourite! What a treasure!
The pleats for size customization in the future absolutely blew my mind! What an excellent idea! What an easy way to do it, without adding more math! I'm obsessed!! This is why I keep coming back to your videos.
I'm working on a monstrosity of a 19 gore skirt from long strips of warehouse cutoff, and it was too big by exactly one gore (probably mathed my seam allowance wrong). I pleated that one in and the inward-facing box pleat is subtle but noticeable with the rest of the long vertical lines, and I quite like it :)
I'm planning on putting sizing pleats in future garments too. It's funny that this video and a current project independently told me to use them; the universe is in favor of adjustable garments, I guess!
I was swinging in my first me-made circle skit for an hour around my flat. The best type of them all.
They are great fun to dance in.
Immediately subscribing.
You’ve included pretty much every addition I was planning to add to my skirt. The pleat idea is ingenious
The invisible stitch is either a prick stitch or a spaced backstitch.
Depending on if you did a running stitch or not.
But the concept of it is called either edgestitching or understitching depending on if you got through the outer layer or not.
This is the most comprehensive video of exactly the skirt with big-as-you-like pockets I’ve ever found! Thank you so much for this.
This video is so fabulous for both the content and the editing style- I feel like I'm watching a Wes Anderson movie! so inspiring
I cannot get enough of these videos! I love the way it's filmed, the narration, the simple explanations without being too simplistic.
One of my all time favourite makes of mine is a circle skirt, a while floral cotton waffle print with red and white striped piping. One thing I found (since I have .. how does one say.... a lot going on behind) I had to make adjustments at the back seam to allow for the rise that naturally happens when making anything (but is super obvious on a circle skirt). I ended up adding an extra two inches to the back seam which I graduated back to the side seams so there is no obvious difference in length. It looks perfect, instead (after my first attempt) like it was caught up in my tights.
I definitely plan to make another one or two and will be studying your pocket placements carefully.
Thanks for getting into the pedantic weeds of woven pattern identification. I appreciate the deep dive!
Proper style. Modern clothes/fashion 'designers' just don't have the education or knowledge of techniques to design well hanging stylish clothes anymore. You look great in them. I have recently retired and I was never into style as such. However recently I have started wearing elegant clothes. I have some Brocade and gold Jacquard weave waistcoats and they look fantastic. I am growing a goatee beard with understated handlebar moustache. I'm beginning to look quite dapper and the difference it makes to the way people interact with you is amazing. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the video❤ Also your idea to add a pleat for fluctuating weight was ingenious. As someone who struggles with weight fluctuation it's almost daunting making clothes and not being sure how long you'll be able to wear them.
I just started my journey in sewing my own clothes at the young age of 58. I have seen so many videos at this point. I just want to make a simple tank top. I am very much a tomboy that occasionally dresses up. But after seeing this absolutely lovely skirt, I want one. I love the way you presented your project. Wonderfully narrated and easy to understand. Excellent craftsmanship too. Cheers!
Go for it! I started sewing for my daughter, she still wears the first reverse box pleat skirt I made for her some 5 years ago made in my mid fifties. It has inspired her to sew and we are planning to make this circle skirt - she loves pockets too.
I am in awe with this pocket tutorial, you deserve an award for this! I love french seams everywhere so this pocket was a work of art ahhaha
I have avoided all my life any length of skirt that was lower than my knees and higher than my ankles precisely because they all felt awkward, and now I freaking know why!!!! ❤🎉
This knowledge power you've bestowed upon me will be used will all the prejudice *fire elmo GIF* 🔥🔥🔥
nearly had an aneurism trying to put pockets in my las skirt lol. this method is so cool!!
I'm loving this just for the houndstooth explanation, but also because you're covering everything in such beautiful detail.
I've made 4 or 5 circle skirts, love them, wear them all the time and now I think it's time for another
Just found your channel! You’ve inspired me to make a circle skirt and a coat with a circle silhouette and a circle skirt dress. It’s such a flattering shape.
Your channel is my "find of the month" regarding YT! Love how precise and beautiful your way of working is.
You are amazing. Thank you so much for all the work you do and share with us, is truly impressive and inspiring!!
well I just found a new creator to binge watch for a while. I love all the info you provided in this video. Very informative and useful for later sewing projects! I need to make a few black skirts for work and this just made it so much easier!
This was an absolute delight! I have decided that I really need a circle skirt again like the ones I wore in my youth. I come from the home of good worsted wool cloth (Bradford, Yorkshire) and have a couple of men's suit lengths that my father obtained about 40 years ago. I think one of them will finally become a wearable garment. Your English is excellent and I think your linguistic eccentricities are charming. 🩵
I am delighted to have discovered your channel via this video. You have such a lovely way of speaking and explaining everything, and your meticulous attention to detail gives me something to aim for; even if I sometimes get lazy and fall a bit short, I still have a well-crafted garment. I have some fabric I bought a long time ago to make a split skirt (essentially this, but with the front and back tying on and half open at the sides instead of zipping at the back, and have been procrastinating because I could not figure out a good way to add pockets. This method will work splendidly when connected to the back piece, and I can't wait to get started on it now! Your gentle vibe + the sprinkling of memes/humour is just perfect.
Your skirt turned out beautifully :)
My heart leapt when I saw your name!! Katerina Ivanova is of my favorite literary characters, your beauty and grace is unmatched. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and spirit you are a gift
I absolutely love your videos. Your attention to detail is amazing!
I have just binge-watched (almost) all of the videos in this series. They were such a joy, and I have never felt more like I could just make something and have it turn out well! I love your narrative style and the way you deep dive into a little bit of sociological history in your videos, as well as your humour and you approach to each garment. And your production quality is wonderful too! Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing this video. I enjoy your calm speaking tone and the smooth delivery of your very informative video. The historical information is so very interesting. The stitch you mention at 23:08 is “pick stitching “ , a very useful way of stopping linings from rolling to the face. I also like it as a decorative stitch around zippers when it is allowed to show on the face of the garment.
@@LawrenceMarshall-rx7bc thank you! I think that’s it :)
there is so much detail into your editing its crazy
you just became my favorite content creator! I binged some of your videos and I appreciate your detail in everything from fabrics to video and aesthetics. Already looking forward to see more from you.
Those first 9 minutes full of interesting history was just divine. Instant subscriber
Half way through and this just keeps getting better and better, love the thought put into everything is just gorgeous
i feel blessed to have this video in my feed, i couldnt look away once i clicked on it, im just learning how to sew, my first project was 2 ambitious cosplays and it showed me that sewing is just all about preperation and this video was so valuable to me!! :)
I have now watched every video of yours twice. I guess I'll just find something else for my entire life to be about until the next one...😂😂 These are beautifully done and I love the history in every one of them. Thank you 💖
Subscribed! A delightful mix of sewing, education and art. Your two skirts are absolute dreams of a skirt.
Wow, I am amazed by this video. Informative, entertaining, and the choice of music is just as exquisite as the rest of the video! I just wanted to say how weirdly refreshed I feel after watching this, I'll definitely be coming back to this plenty of times, to make all my skirt dreams come true!😁
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I wanted to let you know that the PDFs are incredibly helpful and make following the instructions so much easier. If possible, could you create a collection of PDFs for the bra and Merry Widow as well? The ones for the underwear were immensely beneficial. Thank you again for your excellent work!
So glad it’s helpful! I’ll try, but it’s going to take a while because the bra and corset patterns have a lot of steps..
@@katerivanovana I completely understand and appreciate all that you do. I’m more than happy to support your work by purchasing PDFs if you ever decide to sell a collection of them on Etsy, etc. Thank you again! 💕
@@CindyLeaux I second that!
So happy to stumble upon your channel🫶 your videos makes me feel less alone while sewingg
The little roll on the edge of the pocket can be achieved and invisibly secured by understitching it. Just do a row of machine stitching close to the edge on the pocket lining side but making sure to catch the seam allowances. (It is usually stitched from the reverse side, hence the name). A quick google search will show how it works.
Spectacular lesson. I am shocked how you have managed to make this video perfectly clear, full of details and widely entertaining at the same time. Not to mention the beautiful cinematography.
I am very exited to see this channel grow. I am sure you will reach 1 million subscribers mark fast and if not, I will be greatly offended.
Love how thoughtful and detailed your videos are on sewing
The confluence of instruction, education and being personable is a gift every time it comes upon my feed. Will be here until your entire wardrobe is completed and probably after :)
The amount of effort that went into this video is very impressive!
this video was such a joy to watch!!! so well made, so informative, such attention to detail🙌🏼 and the skirt is amazing obviously! made me want to sew one for myself🥹
I bought some fabric on a whim and truly the only thing it might look good as is a big dramatic circle skirt. How lovely to see your video on my for you page just when I needed one!
O. M. G! That tip about slightly gathering the first hem stitch to avoid the waves was AMAZING! I've always gotten the frustrating waves! Thank you so much! New subscriber for sure, after that tip. But then you say vinegar to keep silk shiny!? Mind. Blown.
26:32 the way Wolfgang just melted in the chair
I instantly subscribed because of the grandma story at the beginning and the great editing. But I knew I was at the right place when you began the pocket chapter :D Love the video, love the style, love the explanations, love it all! Great job!
Thank you for a very beautiful & informative video. I’ve learnt a lot!
This is the first video from you that I just watched and boy oh boy, I am hooked! Love to listen to your calm voice and the color scheme of the whole video is gorgeous as are you! This inspires me to create. And on a side note, I also have been washing my clothes almost after every wear, but since you mentioned it, I feel we should be more educated on how often and with what we should actually do our laundry. I have a friend who studied material design and she gave me advice to stop using the fabric softener as it is destroying the fibers of our garments. Instead, she suggested to use the hygienic detergent, it kills the bacteria, but does not damage the fibers. The only downfall is the clothes become quite harsh and scratchy as we have hard water in our building. Maybe you can suggest how to wash clothes better, so they have a longer life? Thank you for making the most beautiful and informative content!
I’ve just discovered your channel. How delightful. So informative. Can’t wait to see them all. 💚💚💚
I love this video! Thank you for taking the time to explain the pocket construction detail, I especially liked when you explained how to strengthen the pocket by sewing it on the waistband too
Wow! The history lesson on houndstooth patterns was absolutely fascinating
Большое спасибо за такое прекрасное видео! Невероятно рада, что оно высветилось мне в предложке! С удовольствием буду просматривать всё на вашем канале!
Can’t believe you’re only reaching 12K subs. The quality of this video is OUT OF THIS WORLD✨ it’s incredible the amount of technical detail and history you’re crammed into these 30 minutes, with some of the most agreeable post-production on RUclips ❤
The classiest content on clothing and sewing out there... A pure pleasure to watch and listen.
I think "these thingies" are called "suspender straps"! You could make them detachable with a button on the inside of your waistband and buttonholes in the straps themselves.
I tend to make circle skirts using a similar method to you, though I still make a paper pattern to both stand as a record of what I made and to make it easier to replicate that exact skirt later. I just use the back of wrapping paper or some other large, cheap drawing paper. Also help make sure that my circle skirts at least *start* circular.
Yes! Thank you:)
Gorgeous! That'll be my next project with a beautiful wool + petticoat for the cold winters we have in Canada! What a phenomenal job as always
I've never ever seen silk live that! WOW❤
I've been watching sewing videos regularly since 2020 (obvious reasons), and yours are the most beautiful videos I've seen so far. Always mesmerized by the quality of your work (sewing and editing-wise). Thank you so much for this incredible content !
your videos are made with so much care and quality! thank you they are amazing🩷🩷
I've been researching how to make something inspired by the "Brigadoon skirt" which is a very full, floor-sweeping skirt of tartan with inset pockets. Unlike the inspiration, I wanted to make mine with real wool, and if I can figure it out, an adjustable waist. I was debating buttons, or a wrap style, or a little elastic on either side of the zipper. I once had a wool skirt with button tabs at the waist so that you could adjust the buttons to tighten the waist about an inch, but I don't have that garment anymore. I am trying to consider the weight of the floor-length skirt when planning the construction of the waistband, but also my waist size, which always fluctuates a little both up and down. I want to create a lifetime skirt. This was the most useful and thoughtful video I have seen on this! Thank you!
I've only just started this video but your sustainability attitude regarding fabric choice, intended use and mendability is great. Glad to see a new video from you again!
Die Videoaufnahmen vom fertigen Rock sind wunderschön gemacht, wie aus einem alten Hollywood Film. Sehr emotional und magisch. Du siehst grossartig aus
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent with the world I love these videos ❤
I missed this series :)
Your videos are like little fairytales! They're reminiscent of those old eastern European films starring Libuše Šafránková (and pretty much all of the audio and visual references you have included in your own content). Your taste is exquisite and you're making what would be my own dream wardrobe. I've long coveted my own closet full of tailored powdery pink silk 50's lingerie, but sadly lack the time to sew any right now. Your end results are breathtaking. You have a clear eye for beauty and a commitment to technique and detail that has become rare due to the tiktokification of craft content. Warm greetings from the Netherlands (sidenote; over here we've always called that black and white pattern pied the poule as I thought was standard in Europe?)
yayyy you're back!! such impressive work as always, your attention to detail is an inspiration :) love the tension tip for the hemline and those pockets are a work of art
Im making a circle skirt and it brings me much joy
Incredible production!! Looking forward to every video of yours. ❤️❤️❤️
Artistic, informative, and helpful video. A lovely treat to the eyes as well, and I loved the interwoven (pardon my pun) fashion history.
I've been wanting to make some skirts, but struggling with (probably irrational) fear that it's useless to make my own clothes if my body's going to change over time. The way you included the adjustment pleats was ingenious and has given me a huge paradigm shift about what's possible with pattern alteration (and especially self-drafted patterns.) Thank you so much, this was a beautiful video from start to finish!
Go for it! Don't be afraid it's lovely to be able to make one's clothes... You'll have the possibility to choose everything : the fabric the colors the cuts etc...
Wasn’t that brilliant?!
Historical patterns are much more likely to have adjustable features because most people didn't buy new clothes as often as today.
The one thing I learned about sewing is you can always unpick it if it’s not right. I used to buy a bit more fabric to allow for a few mistakes but as I have grown in confidence this is less of an issue. I practise on scraps before committing to the tricky parts it’s very easy to get things the wrong way round so this helps me.
I, too, have good dog support when sewing.
Your work, aesthetic, and videos as a whole are delicious. A feast! ❤🤩
Your skill and knowledge and you yourself are truly amazing. 👍🏻
This was beautiful. Thank you 🤍
I felt within minutes that we were kindred spirits, so I already planned on subscribing, but then you showed the belts -- "they're so different" 😂 -- AND Mr. Darcy and I knew I had found my new favorite channel, haha! ~Subscribed~ and VERY excited to make a circle skirt as well as all other future projects with the most precise and "extra" details -- because it makes me happy ☺️
(Also, did you make what you were wearing for most of this video? The color and the floral print is so elegant and lovely!)
Oh I just love it when you post! This was such a fun video
OMG , this video has some much information about fabric thank you I’m grateful for finding you chanell.
This video has everything ,not a single detail is left,thanks,
I love this video ❤ Beautiful work as always Katerina!
I just finished my circle skirt following this video today and i love it so much. Thank you so much ❤️
im really happy you posted this kind of video, certainly making a skirt myself now :)
this came at the perfect time thankyou for your knowledge ! ready to make a cute circle skirt ☺️
Really great video! your delivery for the history of a simple garment piece and how it travels to your final product is really great! keep up the great work!
Looks fabulous, love the pockets! I find a bias strip facing works best for hemming circle skirts. The bias can be steamed so that one side flares whilst the other shrinks, which allows it to take up the difference between the two circumferences. The huff from your studio assistant made me laugh! Hemming a circle skirt takes time!
Thank you for this wonderful video.
You explain things really well and I love your attention to detail.
As a complete beginner, Ive already made 3 or 4 circle skirts based on other youtube tutorials, and none of them go into such detail. At first i thought why should I watch this video, theres nothing hard or special about circle skirts, but im glad i did. Next time im gonna follow this tutorial (even if i was a bit confused by the pocket) and i reckon ill be much more comfortable if anyone decides to take a close look at it, compared to my previous circle skirts. Also beautiful cups!
I do have a question though, if one was to make a circle skirt out of stretchy fabric, should the pocket still be a non stretch fabric?
I'd guess the pocket should be stretchy too or you may get seams popping due to uneaven stretch.
These videos are purest art
I would love to see your online fabric recommendations please 😊
really cool video, the information is very rich, but to say the truth im amazed by how well presented this is. Thank you for the great work!!!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for your clear instruction ❤
Lovely video! If you understitch the seam allowance to the lining of the pockets, the roll over will happen automatically and will be even :)
I really like how you added the extra width for future expansions. Do you use only a single button for closure?
Now I definitely want to make another circle skirt, although I might forgo the zipper and use a button up approach or hook end eyes or simply a placket and back closure instead. A zipper can break, a placket rarely does ;)
Now that I have discovered your channel, I look forward to looking through your other videos!
Thanks for this video…I am learning how these skirts are made..I have no idea their name or culture and how they’re made. Thanks to you now I know. I’m learning how to make a 3D version of such pleats. Appreciate your detailed effort..
This is incredible!
Fantastic. A new seamstress to follow!
I like fabrics that have texture, so bourette silk would be wonderful to make into clothing.
I've never heard of bourette silk so I must do some research.
This is such a detailed explanation of circle skirts. The hem marking item is definitely something I’ll invest in. What material did you use to renforce the waistband?
thank you for the great directions
I was born in 1958 and I was in middle school during the early 70s. We had to have our hems exactly at a particular place on the knee. Some years it was at the very top of the years. It was at the very center of the knee. You cannot be off by an inch or you look wrong.
We always measured from the floor. My mother had me hold the yardstick vertically from the floor up, and she would measure my skirt from the floor. It had to be exactly horizontal to the flooronce it was hemmed.
I believe the tiny stitches along the pocket is called a prick stitch.
