So happy you're doing videos again Dana. Thank you. I love your videos.

[@kymberliedimozantos9685]

First video I've seen of you and GIRL... I'm in love! Look at you radiating so brightly sharing your gifts. Can't WAIT to make this cutie!!

[@victoriamcintosh5122]

I am so glad I came across your video, you made this so clear and straight forward. I tend to not stay long in one video and I viewed it through!

[@thatswhatshesaid14]

I started sewing 9 years ago, and your simple skirt was one of the first things i made. It gave me the encouragement to keep learning. I ended up having to stop sewing a few years ago because of health issues. Im finally ready to get into sewing again, and this video popped up. Im so excited to have this be my first project after not sewing for so long 🤗💚

[@rachelwysong-ward1878]

I cannot wait to make this for my daughter! I love watching you, you make me excited to try new projects!

[@phxgidget]

I plan on saving the kids clothes I made even after they outgrow them. The next generation should enjoy them...keep those memories ❤

[@missperfect2657]

Love a skirt with buttons all the way down the front. My lifestyle is more pants or jeans these days but I love dresses and skirts!

[@dipi4603]

Once upon a time my waist was 28. Not so much anymore. 😂

[@francescaeastwood4434]

I feel ya! 😅

[@missperfect2657]

My waist has disappeared! 🙄

[@sandreawhite7534]

[@missperfect2657]

[@peggygilbertsen9099]

[@susanedewi]

[@dianabradley8349]

[@emilyxadrienne]

You just made a sewing tutorial of my dream skirt- one made out of linen, midi length, and with pockets! I can't wait to sew my own this summer. Your sewing videos are my favorite!

[@rachelhastings1285]

Yay! You're back! I've missed your sewing tutorials. They're some of my favorite videos. Your videos are simple and easy to follow. You taught me how to sew skirts and tanks. 💕

[@Pureimagination200]

I used to watch you a few years ago when I started to sew. I even bought a baby lock machine you recommended. I. Glad you are back on KZbin but I’m. To sewing much these days. I sewed so much I burned myself out. I may start again as my daughter is going to have a baby so lots to make.

[@robynkloosterhof5289]

Welcome back! I have missed your videos!

[@jusu-craftangel]

Thank you, love this ❤

[@kathrynmacgown6575]

Inspiring!

[@amberparish90]

15:42 I find it helpful to sew from the waist down when attaching side seams. I don’t remember where I heard it from, but it stuck with me. It was something about how if you unintentionally pull your fabric as you sew, you will warp it more toward the hem than the waist. It is easier to even up the hem than the waist.

[@SewStitchQuiltWithMarty]

Super cute!

[@Wannaloom]

Love me some Dana!!!

[@burkies8273]

YOU'RE BACK!!!! YAY!!!

[@dsego1183]

10 thumbs up! That was super simple 👍

[@ashleyvick4411]

Dana I missed you!!

[@talitasmit9337]

We used to make these exact 1m skirts in the mid 1980’s

[@carolmorgano7158]

Thank you 👍👏🥰🌸🇦🇺

[@fridaemilsson8868]

I love this skirt 😍 Can you please do the measurements in cm also? It would mean so much to me 🙏😍

[@marilynnmcdonald3204]

Great video. Where can I I get instructions?

[@chickad5820]

Leaving your selvage on in any project, you risk it not laying properly once washed. All selvages shrink differently than the main fabric because the wrap and weave are sewn at the factory much tighter. This causes more shrinkage then the rest of the fabric. Batiks you might get away with this because the selvage is less tight. Hope this helps... Thanks for the inspiration to get back to sewing clothes again.

[@nadinechmilewski]

❤❤❤

[@mreinstein48]

Wonderful BUT the fabric 's choice.... well, to me! : )

[@JaimeLyerly]

So if we haven't made a skirt before, we shouldn't start with this? I made the simple skirt once before but it's been years.

[@stephanieclark5444]

I tried this, but it didn't work. I think i was missing the seam allowance for my waist measurement after i took away for the slanted edge. It was back to my true waist.
