The wrestling the project back from the cat is too relatable. "oh, you need this? is kitteh bed now"

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

It's a constant struggle. ;)

[@annetteandhercrafts]

USE A ROUND TABLECLOTH!!! I feel like this was the loudest Duh! I've ever received, E V E R! 🙈 Now I'll be looking for circle tablecloths in every store.😅 I'm short so length is not a problem, BONUS!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Ooh, lucky you! It's so much easier to find the smaller ones. You'll have skirts galore!

[@christenagervais7303]

Me too!

I know the main thing about your channel is about your sewing/crafty projects, but I just want to compliment you on the editing of your video, the use of music, and the addition of kitty Dora! The way you synced up when your ads comes on when you finish speaking, not in the middle of the sentence. (chef kiss) It may seem silly to mention all this so you, but you are making content one wants to watch and not gets taken out of it by noticing show shaky your camera is or how loud your music is compared to the volume of your speaking voice. BTW ... I totally get your feelings about not only dealing with the pandemic but all the fires on the West coast and just like you're happy to make your videoes, we are glad to have them to watch. Please stay safe.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I have so many doubts about my videoing/editing skills, so your comment honestly means a lot.

By the way, you ARE an artist! Just because you can't draw without references doesn't mean you aren't an artist. I consider my costumes to be art as much as anything a painter does, so we are artists!

Thank you! You're right - I'm just not good at drawing/painting!

[@davidhutchison3343]

What a great idea using a circular table cloth. I sew heaps of circle skirts for children's s costumes, and hemming them is a real chore. Note: we sew all our circular skirts with an elastic waistband, so that they fit a number of differently sized kids. Instead of sewing the elastic to the top of the skirt, we sew on a waistband, and then thread the elastic through the waistband. (We leave the gap in the waistband were we thread through the elastic open, so we can adjust the elastic to fit a number of different waist sizes).

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I used to do waistbands that way, too, and for multi-size costumes, that works really great, though I find that the elastic tends to twist, and sometimes the fabric casing can look really bunchy. Ever since Joanns started selling the wide flat waistband elastic, I have pretty much switched to this method (since it just has to fit me anyway). It makes for a very clean look.

[@mickeydepache5797]

No thank you! All of the Costube community has really helped bring back my love of sewing/crafting.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

That's so great to hear! :)

[@breec]

I made a circle skirt out of a round table cloth a neighbor had put out by the curb. It's very 70s and I need to wear it more often. It was my first non-costume item and my second time using bias tape! Thank you for reminding me of it

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Nice! You should definitely wear it - circle skirts are so fun to wear!

[@CyclingM1867]

Yes, it's very important to ask the cat for permission to retrieve whatever they're holding down, as my ginger boy is all too eager to tell me. 😁 Your cat is gorgeous! Her coat is so beautiful. I'm a beginner sewer & I'm really looking forward to making this circle skirt. I shall have to go hunting in some thrift stores to see what I can find. I just found your channel today & have been perusing several of your historical videos. As a larger woman, it's been great to see how fashions have been worn by women to whose builds I can relate, & I look forward to checking out more of your videos. 🤗

Circle tablecloth to circle skirt. BAM Mind blown!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yay! It makes it so easy!

[@jerimarshall2483]

I’ve used tablecloths for a bunch of things from throw blankets to a dress. I used a lace table cloth as an overlay for a Christmas dress for my daughter a few years ago. I love upcycling.

[@tappingtechie08]

Love the continuation of the pink yarn blanket stitch on the apron. It ties it together with the dress so well. I can't pick a favorite embellishment though. They are all awesome and really bring life to the costume.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thank you! I know, I feel like each embellishment really adds its own something extra. They definitely all make me happy! :)

[@alexalessllc.7745]

Cat help! Yup, you know you like the help when you start considering a decoy ironing surface! Last year I had a DUH moment when I turned a round table cloth into a Christmas tree skirt! Love the Hussif costumes! I just started designing mine, thanks to you!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Lol, yep. I haven't had to give her a decoy yet, but I do wind up transferring her from my sewing chair to the table and back all the time, depending on what I need to use. ;) And I've heard of people turning Christmas Tree skirts into wearable skirts as well, though generally I think those wind up a lot shorter. But the three are still pretty interchangeable. Good luck on your costume!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

I love tape measure! The appliqués are so lovely too. I don’t think you have to worry about it being frumpy anymore

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thank you! And I agree - the apron really takes away the frumpiness of the dress. :)

[@ThistlenStitches]

GAH the blanket stitch around the edge and the measuring tape are my favorite part of this project so far. but its really hard to choose because its all so great.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thank you! I know, it's kind of hard for me to choose a favorite embellishment (though it's probably the tape measure). ;)

I finally got to go to Savers and came home with an armload of table cloths and some actual yardage of fabric. I'm going to attempt an October skirt for myself out of a black/orange squared pattern tablecloth and am so freaking excited. ps, I need to remember to buy extra air filters before fire season this year. That stuff is no joke especially with people with asthma in the house.

[@desrieebeckford4879]

Amazing creation and it’s beautifully crafted. Thanks for sharing and you teach well.

[@denisebennett1626]

I think your dress looks fantastic and the appliqué is gorgeous. Never thought of a round table cloth skirt before but now I'll be keeping my eye out for one.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Thank you! And yes, those round tablecloths are so handy!

[@horsenroundstudio]

OMG! I have the curtains that go with that! They came with our house. I've been using them for booth curtains and backup tablecloths in my booth when I do a show. Small world! Also, this is such a fantastic idea. I love raiding thrift shops for fabric.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh cool, I didn't realize they made curtains in that print, too!

[@sophisteacated]

Use the circle you cut out for the waist to make a patch pocket!! Although, applique leaf shaped pockets in fabrics that match the leaves would also be VERY cute haha

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

I actually played with that a bit, both as a single large pocket (which I didn't love), and two smaller pockets, but if I matched the leaf pattern, then the pockets wouldn't be even on each side, and that would drive me crazy. I have thought about a leaf-shaped pocket, too, but haven't played with it yet.

[@sophisteacated]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions ahaha yes the symmetry obsession, I completely understand 😂

[@UnpackingtheTrunkCostumes]

Ah ha! You said the smoke zapped you - I was feeling so exhausted here in Oregon during that time - I didn't realize the smoke was making me feel that way. I thought I was just...well...tired! At least I got a lot of sewing done. The skirt is adorable and I LOVE this Husiff Dress!!!!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Oh gosh, you guys had it so much worse than we did, too. I'm sure the smoke was sapping your energy! And thank you!

[@doglover1neo]

For a too short circle skirt / table cloth you can add trim to the hem! If trimming the hem is not an option, adding a placket with hooks and eyes at the waist. For a safer/comfortable needle option is eva foam rods. They are soft and flexible, so sitting and walking would be more pleasant than wooden rods.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

But then you're adding work to the super simple project! ;) Good to know about the foam rods. I did wind up trying out sitting in these, and though my lap totally went away, they didn't stab me!

[@FlybyStardancer]

I was going to suggest trim too! And if you get one with the edges finished, it only adds a little more sewing to the project. :)

[@doglover1neo]

@@LadyRebeccaFashions I get it, sometimes a quick simple project to sew & finish, is what you need or want. You had a choice between circumference, length and sewing simplicity.

[@julithewizards1358]

Thanks for the tutorial! 💝 Yes, the round hem and that the fabric may stretch out and the skirt ends up wanky is holding me back to make a whole rainbow of circle skirts. 😅 I already looked for round table cloth, but for now i found only two oval shaped.. one is dark green with leaves and i am considering to make a cape/ poncho with it. 🤔 The other one might end up as one layer of a more historiv inspired skirt.. What kind of stitch you used for attaching the elastic?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Someone on instagram mentioned that she has used oval ones by cutting the two rounded ends off and just seaming them together. Might be worth trying! I just used a straight stitch for attaching the elastic. And if you are making a circle skirt from scratch, definitely let it hang for a couple days before you hem it.

[@bridgetthewench]

I hem my circle skirts with bias tape - so much easier imo than trying to regular hem a round hem.

What a cool idea for a circle skirt. I've got to try it! By the way, if I were going to make giant needles, I'd probably use cheap wooden chopsticks instead of dowels. They already have a tapering shape, and are probably easier to drill through. (If you want bigger ones, there are large cooking chopsticks that are bigger than the regular ones.)

You definitely should. And I've never seen chopsticks that big before!

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

How old is your needle? Generally, the most likely thing that will make your thread shred is an old needle, or the wrong type of needle for the project you're working on, though it could also be a result of old/cheap thread. But yes - don't ignore when your machine needs cleaning either!

You forgot to add on the width of the elastic you are using for the waist, which looks to be a 2" wide elastic which would have made your original 27" up to 29".

Two inches difference is standard for elastic waist but shouldn't it be more for plus sizes?

I think it would depend on how squishy you are.

the dowel "needles" - pencil sharpener? at least for the 4 small ones. for future reference, now, of course.

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Honestly, I did think about it, but it would only really help with the very tip of the needle (and that's only if it would fit in my eye crayon sharpener, since it definitely is too wide for a standard pencil sharpener). The very tip is actually not that difficult to sand -- it's the 4" or so above the tip that was way more difficult!

@@LadyRebeccaFashions oh i see. it was hard to tell in the video, but i was thinking that it might would fit the sharpeners that are made for the kindergarten "fat" pencils. nonetheless, i think you did an awesome job with the whole project. and i enjoyed the skirt and thought it looked way better than i imagined it would when i first saw it at the beginning. for me, since i'm not a complete novice sewer, i think i would cut two side seams to make pockets, because pockets = life. right? lol

@@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem Yeah, I'm still thinking I might add patch pockets!

You say it needs to fit your hip, but I guess if your waist is larger that should be what you go by?

[@LadyRebeccaFashions]

Yep, in that case, go with your waist measurement.

@@LadyRebeccaFashions thanks! She is not a skirt person, but if I can attach it to a bodice and make a dress for her I'm in business! Thanks again!
