Anyone else getting mad hufflepuff vibes from that colour scheme? SO gorgeous!
Me!!!! I'm totally a hufflepuff and I wish I'd had some black ribbon to add to the trimming, but the brown will have to suffice 💛🖤
Same!
I’m a hufflepuff too!
Hufflepuff represent! 🦡 Badger 🦡
Hufflepuff for the win!!! 💛🖤
I love 3/4 circle skirts because it gives me perfect seams to add pockets! Happy Birthday!!!!
Sweet Libra vibes!
I was thinking you were going to bind the hem of the skirt with the ribbon. But it may have made it less swishy. Beautiful colours.
Yes, I thought so too! Maybe she didnt have enough ribbon...
Yesssss! Matchy sets are the best 😍
That mustard wool is great!
I have some reversible wool coming i today and I think I know what I'm going to make now!
that looks so cozy and both so beautiful...nice choice to hv velvet ribbon...and happy birthday🥳
This color is one of my favorite fall colors and I love swishy skirts! Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday and Autumn season. 🎂🍾💐🧵👗(because it twirls) 🍂💜😷🇦🇺
Watching this with my daughter and she says you look bee-utiful! It really is such a gorgeous set! Lovely work!
love it!! so glad you went with the velvet ribbon.
Just beautiful.
Love the swirl!!
Beautiful on you and Luscious looking!
Hooray! This is such a fun style to make!
New to the channel and enjoying - I like this color - I wouldn’t look good on me but its a pretty color - but love the design! Fabulous! Love flouncy skirts - I love to spin in them :) I love making belly dancing skirts this way but haven’t thought honestly about making me a twirly skirt! HUMMMMMMM
Happy birthday! Obviously late, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Love the skirt and cape! I wish I could wear that color...it looks horrible on me. The wool looks so soft and warm!! Great work. Be well, and thank you for sharing.
The skirt envy is real! Time to go shopping for some wool. I love that mustard color, one of my favorites! It turned out great!
Thank you! This is one of my fave colors too!
Happy Birthday to you! 🎂💖👋💐
Happy birthday!!!!!! This turned out so cute :)
Just pulled a hand-me-down piece of wool to make a skirt from myself. I have been eying it all week as I was doing last minute stuff for a wedding this past weekend. but not now..on to a lovely skirt! Think I will try out some of these links.
I hope they help!
Beautiful!
Happy Birthday!
That wool was the perfect fabric, it flows so beautifully!
Excellent sewing job and I like how you blended in nature as well. Beautiful bumble bee. Happy birthday to you as well. I hope you enjoy a wonderful celebration. ❤👍
Thanks so much, Titus! Hope y'all are well!
When I hem circle skirts that I can't do a rolled hem on, I run a basting stitch and gather the fabric to fit. :)
OMG snaps are the bane of my existence. I completely relate to that. The happy jumping when the skirt was done was so joyful and it looks so good on you.
Thanks so much!
That wool is gorgeous. Not just the color but the texture was so beautiful! !! I love this outfit!!! It would make a beautiful long cape or coat. So cozy looking!! Great job happy birthday to you!!!!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for also sharing the big revelation 😉 that you can be an amazing sewist without having to install zippers
Never put a zipper in..... with your level of sewing skill..... my mind is blown 🤯
I love them both! So perfect for Fall! Capes are so beautiful, I made one and want to make more. It’s a great practice for beginners like me. And Happy Birthday!!! 🎁🎈🎉🎂🎊
It really was so simple! A great beginner project!
So beautiful and you look really lovely in it. Happy birthday.
I got a brownish wool from a stash swap yesterday and I am not sure what I'm going to make with it but after seeing your three quarter circle skirt I think I have an idea. I just hope there's enough - and I can match the pattern as it's a kind of check/plaid. Brown isn't a colour I would normally get but it looked like there was enough for me and it's going to be a skirt or trousers (not that I think there's enough for trousers)
I'd really love to do one in a plaid next - that would be super cute!
I wish you had hemmed the skirt in the brown velvet ribbon as well
Happy birthday!!! And my goodness this woolen set it so beautiful and cozy looking.
This was recommended to me as I am looking up many tutorials on making my first circle skirt. Amazing! Yes. No zipper. I shall do that.
Also. Pockets. Now how to do the pocketsees.
Thank you for the inspiration. Instant subscribe. 💜💜💜
Thanks so much 😁. I'll definitely out pockets on the next one!
The colour is stunning. I have a beautiful wool tartan garbadine, I orginally planned to be pants, but it is very tempting to make a skirt out of, after watching this. And happy Birthday.
Happy birthday! Lovely skirt and cape!
As a traditional clothing enthusiast, I felt so much pain when you choose to shorten the skirt instead of adding a small piece of leftover fabric at that corner. I know it would probably be noticeable on a skirt of that length. And matching a piece could have been too much of a bother for a short simple project. And the skirt looks gorgeous!
But the pain.... :'''''D
I’m so excited to see this! I got some of the same fabric in a (few) different colors and was considering making a skirt from some of it, but wasn’t sure if it would work or be too heavy. Definitely planning to go forward with it after seeing this!
I got it in four colors!!! Most for historical use but I knew this one had to be modern!
Please, please, please! What's your tracklist for the beautiful music you used here ?? I loved the skirt😊 Even through the video, I can *feel* how comfy it is. Happy birthday!❤❤
Did you cut out two pieces of fabric since you didn’t use the zipper?
Would it be possible to adapt this for Christmas tree skirts?
Happy Birthday! Your skirt and cape are divine. I noticed that you and I have the same sewing machine and so I must ask ... sort of witchy spell did you use to change out its presser feet??? For the life of me I can not figure out how to attach any of the extra feet that came with the machine, save the metal one that was already attached to the shank. The Instruction booklet states to place the foot under the shank and release the lever until the foot snaps into place. Ah, nope. Any advice you could give me would be seriously appreciated. Thanks for making such inspiring videos.
All of my feet attach directly to the shank via the screw - no snapping in anywhere. I've never tried to use the snap-in ones before.
Huh. Interesting. Ok, well, I guess I’ll give my local sewing machine repair place a call then to see what’s what. It’s almost like they included the wrong sort because no matter what I do I can’t get them to attach. Thanks very much for the reply.
What's the song playing over your finished outfit at the end?
Everyone is sewing full skirts and now I feel like I need one. This might be the one. I mean, how bad could drawing a circle be when we have the calculator! I don't usually do fitted waists, but WTH.
Try zippers sometime! Once you learn a few methods you'll be glad you did and they won't give you a headache 🙈
❤️
But does the skirt have pockets? 😉
There is a right and wrong side for putting in snaps?!??
Yes, they only work on one side?
@@DamesalaMode ohhhh i get it now.
Happy Birthday!
