Double Gauze Tiered Skirt: mccalls 8066/7604
Hey everybody! Happy Friday! Today I am sharing a skirt that I can honestly say I did not love at first. My first and immediate reaction after finishing the skirt was, “Oh my gosh, who school colors are these?” LOLOLOL! I legit started singing, “we got spirit yes we do, we got spirit how about you” LOL! I shared it on my Instagram stories, and while a lot of people loved it, I still felt like something was definitely off and I didn’t love it!
New Learn To Read & Understand Pattern Series
Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! Last week I finished up a 4 part video series on Learning to Read & Understand Patterns. It’s funny because what started out as one video, quickly turned into four! I covered a lot of information and really tried to break things down so absolute beginners would be able to follow and understand. I talked about the pattern envelope, body measurements, finished garment measurements, sewing directions, cutting layouts, cutting patterns and the fabric.
