Love that look, Sally, tights, loafers and skinny jumper to match with your lovely skirt! Timeless and so flattering!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you! I thought the loafers made a change from my usual boots 😆

[@karolmolpus9536]

Thank you for not using overlocker! Love the corduroy and look! 😊

[@Heyreneesews]

That’s how I mark my darts too. I found it is very helpful to draw the lines❤

I love a mini skirt and thick tights in the winter- another great pattern is the Nina Lee Camden skirt. I love the big pockets and have made a denim and a dark green corduroy version.

Very pretty skirt and it suits your body very well well

[@CarolAReece-ii1ry]

Great skirt Sally, I enjoyed watching you sew it

[@cindywinkler4172]

That skirt is adorable ❤

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you ☺️ xx

What a lovely Fall/Winter addition to your closet. I love that color! You did a beautiful job with the lining. It's nice to hear your commentary in between the sewing steps and it's so relatable hearing you hesitate or worry over how things will turn out. It turned out great!

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Haha my mind doesn’t stop when I’m sewing I guess we are all the same 😆 I’m glad to hear you find it relatable xx

I urge you to try constructing with your overnight. Particularly when you are taking as minimal SA you get a lovely finish inside,and with a4-thread stitch a very secure seam

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

What do you mean overnight? 😁 x

Hi Sally. I finished the Marnie in the ivory viscose with the undulating pleats and it looks lovely so thanks for your advice. Love your skirt. Super cute! Diana

[@annehockenhull3974]

Lovely make, thanks for the tutorial! Happy sewing. Annie

Hi Sally. Your video release is perfect timing as I am just about to cut out the pattern and sew up the mini skirt using a cord fabric with the lining. Your skirt looks amazing. Thank you xx

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Oh brilliant! I hope you enjoy making yours. It’s a lovely skirt to sew x

[@jusoriano0209]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ I’ll try making one using your video. So inspiring!

[@janicesouthgate]

You’ve made a really lovely job of that skirt . You should get plenty of wear from it over the winter months. I like to hear how you think things through ie: seam allowances . Normally I’m not a straight skirt person as I sport a pop belly and they don’t look that good on me! 😁 But. Maybe I might have a go at this , with a few adjustments it might work 🤔.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Yes I think it will be lovely! I have no idea how you would do this but maybe you could add a larger dart to give more shaping? There may be a tutorial out there. Thank you so much for watching xx

[@angelalysandrou4830]

The skirt looks great, it really fits you well. I’ve just traced my pattern out to make this, I’ve also got my first Ilford jacket cut out as well

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Have fun sewing them 😊 xx

[@cherylhoulton3719]

Super skirt. It looks great and fits you so well.

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much I’m glad you like it x

[@IamQueenMal]

really nice skirt, I also like the fabric :) do you recommend your iron? I'm looking for something affordable that I can rely on :)

[@JanetSayeau]

Hi Sally, I love the skirt, it looks lovely on you. Can you tell me what kind of press cloth do you use, please?

[@SecretLifeOfASeamstress]

Thank you so much! It’s a cloth from Amazon I think it’s a minky one I’ve actually had it for years x
