Evening out the average pockets per skirt XD

[@elynamusy]

I said "there never to much pockets" so many time 😂👌

[@cheyannelencioni9394]

As a beginner sewist who has not sewn that many pockets yet, this type of project seems like a great way to practice how to properly and securely make pockets

[@KristenPeacock]

Pockets seem pretty daunting, but a lot of it is just placement and layering. You can do it!!!

[@Almagemini]

Imagine how many snacks you can carry in that skirt when you are not carrying books. Or yarn skeins for a project that possibilities are endless

[@alecsgirl]

Yes! As someone who walks and knits, this is definitely up my alley.

[@grannysquared7140]

Who needs a yarn bowl when you have a pocket skirt. Or vest, I want to do the same thing with a Maude style vest.

[@BeyondtheHiggs]

YES!!! I am going to make a crocheting apron skirt I can carry all my yarn in.

This is totally giving me children's book vibes! There should be a book about a lady who carried books everywhere in her skirt 😁

Lol, I always had books in my pocket when I was military since I couldn't have my phone. I have a phone now with the kindle app and my library app, but I still love picking up an actual book.

[@thizizliz]

My first thought was "WHY??" and then I thought - teachers during story hour, librarians, mothers who don't want to carry diaper bags and purses and so on. Fantastic! Maybe a parent might want to be able to close a couple of the small pockets with zippers or velcro to keep keys and wallets from wandering off.... So clever!

[@AngelCCD]

I thought the same thing, but thought about a story hour reader. Then I thought about my sister who takes care of my disabled mother's medical and personal needs. Wound care supplies, personal care, etc

I love this comment because mine came across a little ruder (I actually came back to the comments to clarify in my comment that I didn't mean it as a dig 😂), but I was thinking the same thing. I just didn't think of actual answers the way you did. I don't even think a librarian really could use this but someone at a bookstore for sure. I love what you said about teachers though that is absolutely genius

Also if you go to a convention and don't want to carry a purse but need room for all the stuff you buy and snacks and mending stuff for costume and 🤩

[@marymugge1523]

As a mom of young kids, I need to make this skirt! I'm forever trying to carry everything my kids hand me, trying not lose my phone, and have my current book at hand for when I get five random minutes. Bonus, I would love to see my favorite librarian's expression when I start pulling my kids book choices out of pockets instead of pulling around a cart.

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi I would definitely have liked a picture. Yours, Ann

[@lain-or-shine]

This gave me such flashbacks to middle school -- I used to wear cargo shorts a lot and the big side pockets could hold two manga each, enabling me to go to school with no less than four books on my person at all times. I'm constantly amazed I was not bullied more.

[@Skydaughter256]

Omg, same! Lol. If I wasn't wearing my cargo pants, I had my bottomless bag (giant thrifted leather bag) specifically for holding books! Was I considered odd? Probably. Was I bullied for it? Surprisingly not...

[@ipacarrollread]

You’re so lucky because I always had the books and I was so bullied. Teachers, too. Everyone in my class, except me and one other ‘weird’ kid, was chosen as safety patrols who got to go to Washington DC at the end of the year. I wasn’t chosen because I ‘would read instead of watching kids in the hallway during safety patrol times.’ Something she knew wasn’t true from things that my parents and I had said. At this point, I was babysitting every weekend for a family with a three year old and baby and had been taking care of my younger sister by myself after school and during the summer, by myself 8-10 hours a day. I took us to swimming lessons, the grocery store, friends’ houses. I cooked real meals, taught us both how to bake, sewed doll stuff, etc. Yes, I loved reading and did it as much as possible but I was also hyper responsible even though I was hyper sensitive, cried easily and got my feelings hurt very, very easily. When I complained about the bullying in sixth grade, I was dismissed by the two teachers I told and my parents so I gave up on adults. After two years of almost nonstop bullying overlooked and added to by adults who thought I should ‘toughen up,’ the gifted teacher found out during the week that the other kids were in Washington that Alicia and I were the only ones from our class who weren’t patrols. She was beyond pissed at us being labeled as irresponsible when neither of us were. We were just not popular because neither of us had figured out social cues and were hyper sensitive. She wasn’t able to fix anything but she went to town on the adults then and on the kids when they returned, which made Alicia and I feel seen and heard. Sorry this is so long. I didn’t realize how much this still bothered me. I became a teacher in my late thirties and I definitely tried to keep in mind that you only see some aspects of kids’ personalities. You don’t know what it’s like at home. You also don’t see what kids are doing when not with adults. I did understand more than most, however, that 1) teachers impact how a child acts and sees themselves and others students and 2) just because kids are behaving annoyingly doesn’t mean that they are annoying themselves. Behavior is not always personality, sometimes behavior is caused by something you, as an adult, aren’t seeing. I was definitely an annoying know-it-all kid who didn’t know how to shut up about my own interests and couldn’t imagine why everyone didn’t like them but I was also very sensitive and cried easily when upset and frustrated. I’m sure that I wasn’t the easiest kid to deal with but the adults should have had my back when I complained about the bullying. Instead, they joined in to a certain extent and dismissed everything I said. Adults told me that it was just teasing when everyone I had been friends with suddenly disliked me when we hit puberty and parents were no longer setting up playdates and activities. I became a pariah pretty quickly and adults just said things like ‘it is in your imagination,’ ‘just toughen up,’ or ‘just don’t react/cry.’ You know, helpful stuff. I self harmed to a dangerous level in the year leading up to this one because I was stuck with the same students and teachers for both sixth and seventh grades and no one was listening. If I had understood overdosing more, I wouldn’t be here. It really was that bad in sixth grade. My parents separated and money was nonexistent at home so all I had that felt safe was reading. Books as escape is a very real thing. Everyone has favorites and everyone has kids they dislike but it’s your responsibility to ensure that kids are safe and that they don’t know that you see them in a negative light. I wasn’t always successful in suppressing my feelings but I really tried. Anyway, after this summary of why I am still awkward enough as an adult to always need multiple books on me at all times, I know now I need cargo pants! 😊

[@lizvanwessem2055]

lipreading involves a lot of guesswork. I think I read somewhere once that only about 40% of speech is lipreadable under good conditions. I'm deaf and rely on lipreading quite a lot and I tried, but failed (mostly cos, different accents - I'm a brit, I usually rely on subtitles for your videos). Hopefully someone else will have more success. Changing the subject, I know you've said before that you like wide waistbands cos they suit your body, and seeing this video, I can see why. I'd def recommend if you want to make a skirt, any skirt, with a wide corsetty-type waistband that you go with a heavyweight material or interface/line the ****** out of it cos it really works for you :) Also, in the realm of pockets, my husband once wore a kilt for a party (no, he's not Scottish, hence why "once"). he was wearing it around the house one day to get used to it and chatting to me when he suddenly got all flustered and, flapping his hands, went "how do you women do this without pockets? I need somewhere to put my hands and stuff!" ..... took the words RIGHT outta my mouth.... :D

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

there's a type of kilt called a utility kilt that has built-in cargo pockets and a bunch of other adjustable stuff to them, that's always an option if he ever decides to try wearing a kilt again, a lot of them look really damn cool

thanks for the comment on lip reading!! I was scrolling thru the comments and nobody was talking about her request 😭

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

In high schoiol I wore my utility vest that had pockets with all the essentials so I didn't need to carry a purse (cause doing so while taking shop classes was a recipe for disaster), now for work I have cargo pants with a particular loadout in the pocketses. They weigh about ten pounds. I also have gardening cargo pants with a diferent loadout but it wasn't comfortable to carry everything (they're a larger size so the pocketses are lower and I wind up bruising my knees with the stuff in the pockets banging around when I stomp on shovels and stuff) so I made an Apron Of Pockets to carry most of the other stuff I need while gardening (I don't garden at home and only store the big tools at my garden so I have to carry my stuff back and forth with me). A warning to everyone who wants to make a skirt (or pair of pants) that carries a lot of heavy stuff, be aware of your waistband and the load it can bear before digging into your hips or (in my case anyways) sliding down over your hips. I need like two inches negative ease with my cargo pants or they slide off!!!

[@KingBowserLP]

If i may add another tip: Belt loops! Belts are fantastic at keeping pants and skirts where they belong (as someone who carries a small workshop in his cargo pants at all times...). Alternatively, pairing matching or contrasting suspenders is another fun solution.

[@KackyMuse]

My brain immediately went to Miss Frizzle I had visions of the Magic Story Time Book Lady walking through a crowd of kids so they can pick their own book or the book she would be reading to them. While I would've wanted to have done box pleats on the pockets, that would have been way, way, WAY too many box pleats! Excellent job, great video.

I was really, really into 'Animorphs' when I was younger.

Hi, Showing the skirt finished with all the books inserted, you remind me of something. Well a walking library or an animated librarian, (not animated as in cartoon, but as a character trait, for the young reader) of course, but something far deeper down in my memory, but at the same time just at the tip of my conscience. A cartoon, or a kids show maybe, with stylized personalities? It annoys me no end that I can't figure it out. Could it be as something out of the Beauty and the Beast? Perhaps. I haven't seen that film since the time it hit DVD's, back in the far history of time when we still lived down the block from the Neanderthals. I was having a sleepless Christmas night thanks to something I was allergic to and a subsequent hefty dose of cortisone. I watched all my niece and goddaughters' Disney movies that night, when she was still a child. She is a mother herself now, and we are grandparents to her son, so this was some time ago. I don't think that's quite right though. I was triggered by the way you were jumping up and down very carefully, and I remember movement more than faces or names. If you or somebody else know what I might be remembering, please give me a shout, please. Because this will bother me for some time, and I don't need more disturbances to my sleep schedule. That aside, thank you for a highly entertaining half hour. It's always a delight to spend time with you. I really empathize with your June Moodiness, even though my seasonal depression also hit from mid October to say March or so. Being this close to the Arctic Circle should give me great joy, because we have light almost 24 hours a day now, but of course I am almost in bereavement, because I know that in six days we will start going dark again. Yes, I know. Enjoy it while it lasts, live in the moment etc, etc. We'll still have daylight far into the evening in August, when fall usually start happening here. I do live without a concept of time. Mostly. The exception is the whole light and dark thing of living this far north. I would be happy to live my summers from say May to say October here, and then go somewhere tropical for the rest of the year. You know, in a place where you can set your clock to 4 pm, because the day's rain starts, knowing that you'll be able to go al fresco dining just after 7.30 pm without any doubt that the rain will have stopped. Oh well I guess I'm over being sorry for myself now. It usually only lasts for about 3 minutes because after that I'm getting bored of it. So to reiterate, Thank you for the video. It's always a delight to hang out with you. Sometimes I wish we could have been friends in real life, with all its wonderful complications an joys. I would love to see Remainders, for a start. Think what fabulous discussions we could have had about Life the Universe and Everything. And books. Well perhaps in another life when you live closer, or maybe even better when I live closer. Yours, Ann

I love it! I see no issue with having this many books on my person at all times 😁 Also, how cute are those boots?!? 😍

[@NatalieCrafts]

Ya know, the "books on the butt" thing might keep this from being super practical, but an apron that is nothing but pockets like this could be SUPER useful in a bunch of different applications.

Watching you makes me happy ❤

[@EsmeraldaL]

This was amazing. You are also my favourite youtuber, by far!

[@ItzAzo]

All the eggs I could fetch with an apron like that 🤩🤯

[@ReadBrucey]

As a book lover, I love this!

[@mrsvickigriffin]

I couldn't sit comfortably in that style but it would be extremely useful no need for a purse/sling bag while out in my wheelchair!!

Purse pockets - brilliant! My next skirt or dress will def feature 2 purse pockets. Off to the sewing studio . . .

This reminds me of the book, "Katie No Pocket"

I was thinking the same thing! I still have my childhood copy. :)
