Pockets 😍 best tutorial, so clear, so concise, warm and confidence building. Thank you.

[@theslowtrekkers]

I really like your style...very easy to follow for me. Thank you very much!

[@almagrady6432]

I love this video! I have sewn many, many simple skirts with elastic waistbands, but was never successful at putting pockets in them! I can hardly wait to try this. I also loved your ideas of marking lines with soap. Thank you, thank you!

Hello, my name is debbie I live across the pond in the UK, I stumbled across your site by accident and what a good accident it is. I have found some lovely rayon cloth for sale it is really cheap off ebay I have read up about rayon and other people say that it is not a good fabric to use it creases does not allow to sweat very easy etc. Unfortunately I am in a wheelchair I like to make my clothes I get them to fit better and I can make them to my shape I want to make a flowing skirt and now I can with your help from this tutorial I can make exactly what I want and dont have to line it another plus, having not used it before I was not sure if I had to put a lining in it. You have made my day thank you very much I have subscribed to your channel so I can see what else you like to make and what other tips I can pick up bestest regards a very happy Debbie from uk xxxxxxxxx

welcome :)

[@gladtidings4all]

Thanks for showing visually about the fabric in the bolt. I’m a newbie beginner sewer and I learned a lot from watching you! ❤️🪡🧵✂️

[@ClariceAust]

I love this skirt! I have trawled the internet looking for a pattern for a skirt like this, without success. This is wonderful; thank you, Laura! 😊😊😊

[@tonmarinaxxzz]

You do the best tutorials. You keep any chitchat to a minimum and the instructions clear and concise In the words of Sgt. Friday. Only the facts Ma’am. Thank you

[@juliecann1988]

Thank you for this video. My first decent skirt made ever.... and I'm 63, so never too late to learn. You Tube is a wonderful thing.

[@deborahmiller3443]

❤ love this...I have been trying to make a skirt but its been hard for me. Your teaching method was very good and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@seranitrish65]

I love your tutorials because you explain everything so clearly and in layman's terms. Thank you 🙏

[@tessmoore3762]

Excellent way to explain things. I am an experienced seamstress, but I learned something new with the sewing the ends of the elastic together!

[@christinacruden886]

Another beautiful Skirt. Love those pockets. Skirts are my favourite. Thank you. 🇨🇦❤️

[@gloriafoster7775]

I love this skirt. The soft ration fabric, the pockets, the length and the color, all make it perfect. Wonderful and beautiful Laura. Thank you.

[@victoriahannah1633]

This is the best tutorial I have seen to make this type of skirt. I can’t wait to try it.

[@rahimahaman4126]

Hi beautiful teacher. I just love your skirt. I just finished stitching a cotton skirt. I love it so much. I followed every step of your tutorial.. I will be making at least 5 more.. Hehehe.. Love you loads for the best skirt design. Much love and God bless

[@carolg.6838]

Thank you. I was wondering if cotton would be too bulky with so much fabric. I am plus size so the fabric will be spread around moreso than someone smaller. I think I will try it. I will wash and dry first as the last skirt I made with a pattern shrunk to a different size.

[@rahimahaman4126]

@@carolg.6838 I m small size. My weight is 52kg n I'm 5'3". The skirt suits me fine. Very comfy infact..

[@BlessedForever888]

You explain SO patiently and thoroughly - I really appreciate it! Also your voice is perfect for instruction. Watching these makes me totally remember and honour my grandmother who had her own sewing school. Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you

[@robertawestbrooks9531]

She's correct about that pocket, I made a skirt, with a pocket, and the pattern was very hard to understand. She's very knowledgeable.

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Laura your videos are so well presented and easy to follow. I am in the first stages of sewing a skirt (from a pattern I had made) when I came across your video. While my pattern is a bit more shaped at the waist, I think I can just follow your wonderful instructions for everything (even the pockets!). I have about a meter and a half of fabric left and am now thinking that a blouse would be a great go-with to be able to wear as a dress or an overblouse with a tank top to extend its versatility. Thank you for sharing this - your method greatly simplifies the sewing process which we all appreciate!

[@mgs783]

I learned so much with this video~ I’ve never sewn garments but your explanations made it so not intimidating! Love your fabric & color choice. Thank you for the instruction and inspiration ❣️👍

[@dijones2441]

Loved your mini bolt of cloth ...even though I’ve been sewing for 40 odd years I learnt something new...sewing the elastic together! 🥴😂💐

[@tessmoore3762]

Same here!

[@maureensews6568]

Thank you. I bought some material from a second hand store and made this skirt. So much fun. And great instructions.

[@cassaundramccully645]

Thanks! I just had a great idea for elastic. Buttonhole elastic (as you find in most toddler pants) should be great for fluctuating sizes like bloating or just weight loss or gain!

[@mwolkonsky]

I made it last night! I love it. I've never sewn with Rayon before and it was a little slippery but I got there. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I never knew that Rayon was a natural fabric. I wish I knew more about the different types of fabrics used for clothing. At any rate thank you again.

[@foechicken8023]

I love wearing rayon. It makes the best Hawaiian shirts and if course, skirts.

[@cathygliewe9273]

Excellent instructions! I have been sewing for a long time but can always learn something new, and I like how you 'grabbed' the top of the pockets and sewed them into the waistband for a very neat finish. Thanks for creating a great video!

[@dollmm23]

Beautiful skirt and beautiful fabric. Thank you for the great tutorial. I now know how to sew pockets to my skirts.

[@trishblakely3476]

I really like the pocket sewn into the waistband. No saggy pockets!

[@braveatheart]

Thank you so much!!!! I followed this to make a skirt for a medieval festival on a time limit. Made it in two days! Ended up having to make the waist band much smaller once it was on, as I think the weight of the fabric stretched it out a bit, or maybe it just needed more tightness to keep it up (both front and back were 54" each, as I wanted it really nice and full). Looks beautiful and is very comfortable. Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial!

[@tracyzorn1722]

Thank you for your video - I do not sew really at all and was able to make a cute skirt to go with a theme for an upcoming event fairly easy! And with pockets!

[@janaabreu]

OMG! This tutorial is amazing! Thank you so much! You are such a good teacher and your voice is so soothing! :)

[@debhinklin]

This was the best instructions for this skirt. best pockets I ever made, thank you!!

[@lindalee9177]

In the past I did a lot of garment sewing...so it is nice to get motivated to sew something besides quilting

[@pamelasmith6306]

Love rayon,,great tutorial on making a comfortable warm weather skirt,your explanations are very easy to follow…Thank you

[@maryannlarkin3352]

This looks “sew” easy that I can hardly wait to run out and buy some rayon fabric and sew up several skirts! And with pockets! Excellent video! Thank you so much!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR WONDERFULLY EASY AND PRETTY RESULTS FROM YOUR INSTRUCTIONS!

[@margaretrose3871]

Thank you Laura. Your instructions are so clear and your positivity is lovely. I look forward to your projects and am sewing again.

[@kountrythings6111]

Thank you for this great video. I was wondering if there is a ratio you would suggest for deciding how much fabric you need for the fullness, would it be double the waist measurement?, etc. Was just thinking if I want to use this great tutorial for my granddaughters how much fabric I would need for around their waist. Thanks Laura

[@moniquej7235]

I love this tutorial. The only trouble I had was doing a zig zag finishing stitch on rayon. I find it very challenging to get that right and on the edge. Any tips?

[@courtneyelizabethh12]

This is fantastic. My grandmother has gifted me her old serger and sewing machine and this will definitely be my first garment for myself. This mimics Sag Harbors skirts (which are my all time favorite) and they're so hard to find. Love this so much.

[@GloriaHasberry]

Excellent video and methodology for making a skirt with pockets! Thank you sew much! What a simple way to construct it...

[@donnaespiritu5920]

Very cleverly done! Thank you for creating the mini example for us to follow. It made the project clear and undaunting.

[@moyaliew2913]

Love it! Beautiful hue, lovely skirt! As always thanks for your clear and easy to understand tutorial. I’ll be sewing this skirt using rayon material.

[@MegaBpop]

Wow, Thank You for your easy to follow instructions!! I really appreciate it .The camera view was also important and perfectly done!!

[@Laurabeth9999]

omg i cant wait to get paid so i can buy some more fabric lol. awesome job Laura!

[@elizabethroblyn1392]

Thank you ms Laura. Correct fabric is important and I'm not always aware of which to use. So and thanks. And great video

[@loriterrill6445]

Wow! You are an Excellent teacher! Thank you! God Bless you! Have a Great day!🌼😊🦋🌟

[@sincerelyjuia9788]

So happy to find your chanel, very infornative and useful. Am a new subscriber.

[@robinmazariegos1]

Oh my gosh, I just subscribed to your channel!! If all your videos are this well done, I will be coming back for more! So excited to try out the skirt.

[@ShannonEFlynn]

Thanks Laura so much for this tutorial. I have just sewn up two of these at around knee length and they are perfect thanks to your easy to follow instructions. Fabulous!

[@bellbird]

You explain things so clearly. I love this skirt and I will have to use some of the rayon in my stash to make one. Thank you.

[@moominkraft6427]

Wow! Thank you so much! This is perfect! I've put on quite a bit of weight since the lockdowns. So I've decided to sew my own skirts. As an absolute beginner, I don't even know where to start. Now I know :D

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

Wow, I always wanted to make my own long skirts and you make it look so easy. Your explanation is simple enough for me to want to give it a try. Thank you!

[@kandaykerr3653]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been wanting to make my own summer skirts but patterns just seem to complicated! I'm saving this video so I can make this skirt.

[@yolandamartin5370]

What did you use to pull the elastic through the waistband?

[@yiayiavnope2944]

Outstanding instructions! Thank you so much for teaching us in such a clear and concise way!

[@lorsholczk7329]

love the this video❤❤

[@laurawismer9333]

Thank you, thank you for this video. Thanks for explaining everything as you go along. You have a gift for teaching.

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

Love rayon batiks for apparel, drapes so nicely with a soft feel. Beautiful fabric you used. Love this skirt, thanks for sharing and I want to make this for myself. Looks so comfy!

[@jenlincks1016]

You're an excellent teacher! Thank you for your video

[@alyssamcaleese6985]

This is a brilliant tutorial and exactly what I need for my next project! Your pocket method is a lot easier that what I had planned, so thankyou!

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Thank you so much! I live off shore in Costa Rica and sewing patterns are not available, here!

[@shelly7405]

I am loving and appreciating the mini example. It helps me so much. I find recently that sewing videos I look up just go right into cutting and don't mention washing? Do I not have to wash before cutting and sewing these days?

[@SewVeryEasy]

I usually follow the rule if it's something that I can wash I do.The reason is is I would rather know what the fabric looks like after washing and that way I'm not surprised after

[@lindadavis8082]

An excellent tutorial , Laura! Pockets can be tricky to explain... thank you for all your posts.

[@donnamcmillin5969]

Hi Laura, I don't have any rayon fabric. I have cotton fabric. I'd appreciate your opinion, do you think cotton fabric will be ok?

[@patriciadunn8116]

Wow! I love the fabric and you made it look so easy that I'm going to save your video to make one for summer! God bless you!!

[@Greythoundmom]

Started one of these yesterday and will finish today!

[@eileenfb1948]

I love how you made the pockets - I must do that next time I make a flowing summer skirt. You showed everything so clearly. I look forward to seeing what you’re going to make next time in the sewing room.

[@NWMNLady]

Thank you for that excellent demonstration! I will definitely be making a skirt soon.

[@IMOO1896]

Awesome, project, to the point, simple instruction!

[@ginger1549]

Thank you for this video. I live in Florida and I find skirts to be much cooler to wear in the summer than capris or pants.

[@noels29ed50]

I'm about to make some skirts for my mum in nursing home. These look great. I'm thinking I might be able to put Velcro in one side to make easier for staff to get her in and out.

[@SewVeryEasy]

That's a great idea!

[@sandrajenkins6078]

Thanks for taking me back to Home Ec! I'm going to make a skirt today!

[@eileenreding8552]

Love the material you picked out!

[@lynnjames5039]

Thank you, you’re so easy to listen to and learn from! My dream is to be able to make all of my clothes how nice would that be!

[@tearsofboredom7956]

Thank you for this! I really wanted something special to wear to an event coming up and this skirt is the perfect thing!

[@countrygirl5393]

Wow! I loved this explanatory way of making a skirt. Keep these videos coming. I watch them all!

[@gloriastanley3369]

I love the way you explain things! I'm an experienced sewster, but I didn't know about using the little swatch of fabric to connect the elastic ends! Cool! I'm making a skirt for Ren Faire and I love the pocket idea!! :)

[@gillianattwood1970]

I would like to see you make a nice flowing summer dress xx

[@charleneredcalf4941]

I like the look I'm gonna try this look. need to go to my fabric store.

[@sherryhansen2823]

I have a beautiful batik I'd like to use but it is 100% cotton. The weight you'd use in a quilt. I think it would be lite enough and I am a size 18 so I thought it would have less gathering than on a smaller person so the gathering won't be as tight. What do you think? I have been saving it for something special. Not a quilt!

[@SewVeryEasy]

yes I think it still would be nice :) jus not as much gathering

[@jennielynnschlageter6586]

Love sewing projects..especially beginners..cant wait for next sewing lesson!

[@vwzombie89]

How many yards of fabric should I get to make this skirt? Would 3 yards be enough? 🤔

[@LisaStanton-aka-anewlis]

WOW! Can't wait to try this. Hope it's as easy as you make it look. :)

[@inova4556754]

Thank you for the tutorial, I made a skirt and it came out really nice!

[@hevnleee]

Thank you for this. I've always wanted to make myself a flowing skirt. However, I like it when they have different colored layers of fabric.

[@resnethsaksak1420]

I learnt to day how you joined the elastic together. That is new to me.never saw that.thanks mum

[@tracydean3678]

Much enjoyed! I'm going to try your design.😺

[@mendyelliott9495]

I have always wanted to sew a skirt. Thank you for the excellent tutorial! It now seems sew very easy!

[@lindakochis5476]

Great tutorial, I was wondering because Ive never sewn rayon do you need to use a special foot ( is the fabric slippery) and what size needle not a seamstress so thanks for the information Laura.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I don't change my foot but I do shorten my stitch length. I use a finer needle but don't know what size it is. If you really need to know I'll try to find the package of needles I use. I know they're Organ brand.

[@GayleHallAZ]

I usually use a size 70 needle for rayon

[@SewVeryEasy]

A Universal 70/10 would work fine :)

[@Richiedei50]

Thank you so much for this. I don’t suppose you could do a video for a top could you? Please….. 🥰

[@tracycook7355]

Wow you are a great teacher. How would this work in a denim weight fabric please

[@SewVeryEasy]

the denim would be too thick and not have a soft drape

[@kimberlyturner520]

Really love this tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

[@ursulagreen8374]

Very pretty, I've made skirts before, but never tried pockets.

[@gracehonaker1759]

Love your skirt you make it look so easy.

[@sharonlatour6230]

Lovely skirt Laura!

[@Persephone0110]

Love it! Have to try this for summer!

[@LK-uf3gh]

Thank you for a very detailed instructional video.I will try to make this skirt.

[@katezombro3414]

Thank you. Now could you tell me how many more inches I need to make a fuller skirt?

[@staceyhaney9525]

My grandmother had 40's vintage circle skirts but they don't fit me at all. What is something that I could make out of them?

[@rachelmiller495]

Love it. Thanks. I’m going to try this for summer

[@marieharris7559]

That was the best tutorial I have seen. Thank you so much!!!!!!
