I learn something new every day with Mimi, such a great inspiration. The idea of hanging the garment for 24 hours before hemming is pure genius.

[@tranquilityyogapilates2946]

What n easy way to add a zipper. Great tip, ive been sewing for years and always struggled with this - no more, thanks

[@knittersknots]

I didn’t realize how pretty you are when seeing you in the catalog! Lol. you are really stunning. God bless!

[@youngmanmary2918]

Love the ribbon at the waist.

[@amanda0678]

Loving your make up. So natural. Watched all the she sewed he sewed episodes. Love it. Wish there were more episodes. Do this make up look on the show. It’s pretty and you. Do you girl. That’s what I appreciate about you.

[@lynetterene]

That fabric is everything!!😍

[@mamasaidsew4843]

Thanks to you and Norris. You guys are helping me become the sewer I always knew I was. Having a visual helps me alot. Picking up this pattern soon. Keep the videos coming.

[@Kitasews]

Super cute skirt! Loved the use of ribbon at the waist.

[@laurajones4088]

Excellent tips for sewing on the bias! Thanks, Mimi.

[@jacquelinerobinson9158]

Thanks Mimi for the helpful bias sewing tips. The single layer cutting lay out uses more fabric, but it's worth it.

[@Ayabamaddie]

OMG where was this video 2 months ago. I made this skirt and thanks to your tips I know where I made my mistakes.

[@dianavoermans]

Love the way this skirt flows 🤩🤩💃🏻

[@lynetterene]

Ohhhh!!!!! That's how you cut on the bias.....I never knew.....thanks gurl!!

[@bodyandsoul17]

So helpful! I am about to sew this exact skirt with same type of fabric, and these tips are amazing (especially using ribbon and the way to insert the zip!)! Thank you.

[@bodyandsoul17]

Skirt turned out well, but I under stitched the ribbon/facing (vs. just a side seam stitch in the ditch), like the pattern shows, which made it stay turned under better.

[@cynthiam8385]

Great sew along! I learned so much. Your skirt is stunning!

[@yolandapinkney-jordan385]

I'm have to try making this skirt!!!! Too cute!! Thank you, another great Sew-Along!!!

[@louiselill1528]

Such beautiful fabric I love the skirt and will try the ribbon when I make a skirt good tip

[@Verabrown351]

Thank you Mimi you hav save a life with the zipper. I can wait to try that tomorrow morning

[@AlexMarieDIY]

Awesome tips. Thanks Mimi!

[@joli43]

how does the grosgrain work handle the flare of the skirt near the top?? the grosgrain is very straight and rigid and the skirt is not... Anyone know?

[@ynellirosas]

I recently discovered your Chanel and I’m hooked!!!! I’m learning how to sew and I am practicing my seams, I absolutely love the French seam, I think its so celan and makes the garment look less homemade (all my stuff looks home made) .. is it possible to do both, invisible zipper and French seam? If so how can I instal an invisible zip using the seam ?

[@CreatingIntentionally]

So cute and simple

[@sewalways9331]

Lovely skirt, beautiful fabric and fit I wonder, however, if the skirt stretches around the hips from wear. Does it lose its form if one is larger around the hips? Also, the hem line appears to be stretched or ruffled. Is that how it should be? Just wanting to be aware for when I make this project. Overall, great video with good helpful info for bias projects. Thank you It looks wonderful on you.

[@sarahturnbull7610]

The ripples around the bottom of the fabric come from the bias cut. Find some similar fabric and hold it on the bias or look at photos or examples of bias-cut skirts and you will see a similar effect. Pretty cool!

[@HeyAllie]

What kind of sewing machine do you recommend for beginning/intermediate sewing?

[@sherrybrown4062]

Beautiful my dear! Want to do some tayloring this 2019 fall!

[@staciesturdivant]

Thank you so much for this!

[@flaviabarar2680]

This is such a great tutorial! I wish I would have watched it before attempting to sew my first bias skirt with zipper because I did everything wrong, I pulled on the fabric and I stretched and now it doesn't lay flat at the zipper when I put it on. Is there a way to fix stretched-out fabric, or did I waste the project? I even tried interfacing the zipper to try and stabilise it... to no avail. Help, please!

[@kimking9626]

I also like the top

[@sewsewsewist785]

That looks so cute on u! I just made a bias skirt for the first time Sunday night! It was an old simplicity pattern and has an elastic waist. I am wearing it at work today! I love the way it hangs! I left it un hemmed but will do it later.

[@joycelondon1639]

Thanks helpful 💘 ly color and from Atlanta Ga USA 👀 👀 you next time

[@annstaples100]

Hello thank so much k the information

[@jacquelinerobinson9158]

What did you wrap the bottom of the cut edge of your zipper tape with?

[@sonyasew2]

Thanks

[@lorik5675]

HI Mimi is your cute new nail polish from your July ipsy bag? I just got the same color!

[@suzannemartin8986]

I know you're a perfectionist so gros·grain /ˈɡrōˌɡrān/ is pronounced growgrain.

[@Omotokeo]

Hi mimi welldone on your videos. Could you people elaborate on the term stay stitching thanks or anyone else really thank you

[@louiselill1528]

Stay stitching is a 1/4 " seam that you sew to stop the garment stretching when you sew . You will find that dresses or blouses / shirts patterns ask you to stay stitch around the neck to stop the garment stretching Hope this helps

[@enishajamison1960]

Why use ribbon instead facing?

[@glendasam36]

❤️

[@sarahturnbull7610]

The McCall's website doesn't even say that this skirt is cut on the bias!

[@maja9534]

i've read its easier to let it hang first on a hanger for 24h then sew after

[@latitude1904]

Some parts of this video were hard to hear, others just fine. Louder, pls.

[@Geeuu]

I hate tutorials that use patterns because i cannot buy them
