[@pamelankosi7634]

Hi Montoya. I did this skirt for myself, I was my 1st project and all thanks to your easy to follow video tutorials. How do I send a picture for you to see.

[@MontoyaMayo]

You've been on a roll!!! Please email me [e-mail]. I can't wait to see.

[@wesleyreece1602]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me!

[@nicholastitan2881]

@Wesley Reece instablaster ;)

[@wesleyreece1602]

@Nicholas Titan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@wesleyreece1602]

@Nicholas Titan it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

[@lorunyi661]

This is the most informative, least rushed, and most detailed video I have seen, and I've seen many! Thank you for this insight. Not many will take the time to walk you through step by step. Hope to see many more..

[@MontoyaMayo]

Lor Unyi Lor Unyi You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback! I'll keep making more. Currently editing my next one 😊

[@Victoriaward]

Couldn’t agree more. So detailed and so thoughtfully done. Very helpful. Thank you for making XX

[@ashleyceaser547]

The waistband and zipper came out so wonderfully!! This is the most clear explanation I've ever watched!

[@ValentineYJ]

I looove the "you good" part at the end! Thank you!! I will try!

[@MontoyaMayo]

Valentine s Thank you 😊. You definitely should, let me know if you have any questions along the way.

[@Crw6543]

Love love how you took your to me to explain and gave us a close up of everything that was being done so thorough. Keep it up especially for those beginners.

[@Crw6543]

Took your time

[@verymuchlily]

Thank you so much! I'm not a native English speaker but it was clear, perfectly understandable and detailed enough. You work is also very precise and pretty. Time to sew! Thanks again

[@MontoyaMayo]

Coralie You’re welcome!!! Thank you for the compliment 😊. I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful

[@carriekhan9929]

I just finished this skirt and I love it! I didn't do the high-low version, just a regular hem all the way around. Your instructions were so clear and easy to follow that I finished the skirt in a day. It turned out just like I envisioned when I decided to make a circle skirt with African print fabric. I'll send a pic when I wear it. Thank you so much for reading my mind.

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome Carrie! I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful!

[@eliyahuyasharal4989]

Ok love the video I'm a single dad I pick up the hobby among others this will make me cool dad again and give me and my teen something to talk about like Daddy make me another skirt lol but thanks for taking time out to do this it very helpful

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! LOL I hope this helps win you some cool dad points

[@roxannelyons-richards4238]

Very detailed even for people who have no idea how to cut and sew. Well explained....

[@MontoyaMayo]

Roxanne lyons-richards Thank you!!! 😊

[@dianncorriveau631]

Hi Montoya! Thank you for your tutorial. I've had trouble getting a nice clean finish with zippers and waistbands. Your video gave me great ideas. You make it look so easy!

[@Shylala3]

Wow your skirt looks amazing you truly inspire me and I am sure a lot of other people to give it ago 👍❤️

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you!!! I'm glad that I was able to inspire you and you should definitely give this skirt a try.

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Very helpful two-part tutorial! It's great appreciate that you tell viewers when you've had problems in the past (like when you say that you've made mistakes with zippers) and then explain why you're approaching it with such care. I liked, too, that you were encouraging and said that people should take their time with the hem. It's easy to watch a sewing (or other DIY) tutorial and feel like your project at home isn't coming together as quickly as the one online. This was great! :)

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you for all the compliments Shawnalee!!! Yes, I firmly believe in taking your time to ensure quality construction.

[@knatural7754]

thats a pretty skirt i been sewing since a child and into high school but never thought about making my own clothes I use to make doll clothes for my baby dolls , pillows and stuffed animals 🧸 I want to start making my own skirts and dresses now thanks for showing this video

[@A1M0Y]

Your two parts videos for this skirt is PERFECT for beginner, thank you so much!

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome!!!

[@patriceellis8172]

I am going to try this with my 10 year old. Thanks for taking your time to explain what you are doing as well as why. You Rock!!!

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! I can't to see the skirt you all create!

[@Yolandaperegrin]

Thank you so so much! I love how you explained every detail because it's easy to get lost amongst all the steps. I also loved how easy you showed how to sew pockets, I never knew how! ♥️♥️♥️

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! You're right it is so easy to get lost in all the steps, I try to keep in mind that no step is too small to demonstrate, every step is key to a beautiful garment. I'm glad you learned something new. I have an obsession with pockets, I have to put them in everything I make.

[@timiliawilliams9939]

Perfect video!!! Thank you for being informative, thorough, yet concise and to the point!!!

[@farah.yasmine]

I love this! The prints are beautiful, your pictures are vibrant and most importantly, the instructions are very clear! I also love the fact that you videoed this in real time, and also providing us the specific type of fabric you used in the description box (it's always a bummer when I have no idea what fabrics people used :( ) I hope this is not too much to ask, but I'd love to see a video of you wearing the garments you sewed at the start/end of the video, just to see how the fabric moves. Hope to see that in upcoming tutorials! x

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you for all the compliments!!! I was just telling my niece (she takes my pictures) that I want to start doing videos of my looks. I will start doing that, thank you for the feedback. I took pictures today and I forgot to do video. Next shoot I'm going to remember to do video.

[@essjay4260]

Very detailed video, great pace and you are so easy to listen to. I can't wait to make one.

[@MsDstarr]

Thank you tons for taking the time and blessing is with your skill. I really feel good and think I can do this. I really would like to make myself one for a September 29th wedding this yr. Please don't stop making these teaching videos.

[@burrelsandra]

Nice, you can get a tape measure exclusively for measuring your circle skirt and punch a hole at the 41" mark and the 4 1/2" and then put your pen in the hole and just hold the tape at the top and swing the part with the pen around to achieve your marking 😀😀

[@MontoyaMayo]

That does sound more efficient. Thanks for the tip!

[@burrelsandra]

You're welcome, no problem. Thanks for your informative tuts, keep them coming 😀😀

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! Will do!

[@tonelly1ify]

[@Muhsinah.Nadeem]

I learned a lot. Thank you Montoya

[@johnitaroberts-huff1458]

I also do a little sewing when I get a chance to, and always had problems with the zipper, or button holes. That's why I always make elastic waist bands Thanks so much for showing how to install the zipper. Back to sewing again :) :) :)

[@MontoyaMayo]

I use to have problems with zippers too and sometimes they can still be a pain, but as I've installed more and more, I've noticed how my skills have improved.

[@cheryllynnalston-morton9512]

BEAUTIFULLY DONE...BRAVO!!!!

Wow.... Your tutorial was exactly on point. I had been searching for this pattern from some time now, but since I didn't knew the name, KZbin was finding it hard to get through this... Thankyou very much for this tutorial. Just a query, I wanted to make this pattern with sheer but stiff fabric, like tissue organza, with lining of polyester silk. Can u please make a video on any additional details, that might be required while making this pattern with lining.

[@KaylaElizabeth_h]

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you!!! Yes, make one for yourself. Let me know how it comes out when you do.

[@chloek6920]

This video is great! I really want to make my own prom dress this year, and I might use this tutorial for a skirt! I've sewn before, but nothing this big! Its super understandable and easy to follow! The ONLY criticism I have: your fabric is gorgeous, but its hard to see which side is right and wrong in the video. Nonetheless, it's still easy to follow! Thank you!

[@ZariahsCreations]

Thank you sooooo much for this video as well as Part 1. I really learned some new steps!

[@MontoyaMayo]

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you so much for all of the lovely compliments Nicole!!! Also, thank you for liking and subscribing. You should check out some shops on Etsy.com for this fabric, these shops usually ship world wide. Here is one shop that carries the fabric: www.etsy.com/listing/595270986/yellow-and-red-ankara-fabric-african?ref=user_profile

[@annekepaige2402]

gorgeous!

[@ashleyboykin7777]

I loved your videos! I watched both all the way through, very detailed and informative. Where can we find the pocket pattern, that was the most tricky to follow, with the slits. I'm afraid I'd end up sewing the pockets shut. Thanks again!

[@MontoyaMayo]

Thank you and You're welcome! You can find the pocket pattern here: montoyamayo.com/free-resources/ . I have a top and bottom mark for the pockets so you know where to stop, and you can also mark the spot with two pins going in opposite directions as a signal to your self to stop. I often do this when sewing zippers.

[@ashleyboykin7777]

Thank you! I already have my materials to make this skirt! I'll share my final results with you when I finish!

[@MontoyaMayo]

Ashley Boykin You’re welcome! I look forward to seeing your finished piece!

[@LyndsieIsrael]

Thank you so much, this is amazing.

[@MontoyaMayo]

Lyndsie McGee You're welcome 😊

[@rsnancy1147]

Can I cut the back piece as single piece since I don't need pockets for skirt?? Your awesome is so good...u r explaining it nicely...thank you...

[@MontoyaMayo]

rs nancy Thank you! You can cut the back as a single piece and add your zipper to one of the sides instead of the back.

[@mgibbs7124]

I really enjoyed watching. New subbie.

[@MontoyaMayo]

Johanna Jackson Yay!!! Thank you 😊

[@michellejohns2137]

As an absolute beginner THANK YOU! This is one of the best tutorials I've watched. Do you have to have a zipper foot to sew an invisible zipper?

[@MontoyaMayo]

You're welcome! And thank you for the compliment. Yes, I would use a zipper foot, it doesn't have to be an invisible foot though just a regular standard zipper foot will work fine.
