    I am surprised to see you make a maxi length, it's very flattering. Love the idea of adding a control panel in the skirt please show that. You have a talent for turning a pattern into something very special and custom and I enjoy watching and learning different techniques and I know it's okay not to follow the instructions!

      I’ve made a maxi once before earlier in the year with rayon fabric. I’ve been warming up to the style and so far so good! Thanks for watching 😊.

    Very flattering skirt on you. I LOVE pockets, and with a control panel, I'd be in heaven! I'm always on the lookout for bottoms with functional pockets and this looks like a winner, shorter version though. 7/26/19 Feature Friday, maybe it'll come back around again in 2021.

    Skirt turned out great. Sometimes, making a maxi out of a knit fabric, depending on the type of knit, there can be a lot of drag with so much fabric hanging, and it stretches. Oh horrors - it keeps getting longer and re-hemming is required. Glad yours stayed put.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  5 років тому

      I’ve heard that and I left mine hanging for 48 hours. It didn’t really change, thank goodness and I didn’t trip on it yesterday when I wore it out to go to town. Whew.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  5 років тому +2

      Maybe the weight of the fabric is too much? I’d stay with a light weight for this style and if heavier I’d do a contrast waistband with activewear fabric.

    Karina, wow- you did another work of art!! I just love the beautiful stripe designs you created. It is so pretty on you. I especially liked the way you did the binding on the pocket, from the inside to the outside. Well done! Take care & God Bless.

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles

      I’ve seen this technique in other knit patterns from Love Notions... to bind armholes and necklines. Muscle memory took me there for the skirt. Thanks for watching 😊.

      The pattern comes in various lengths too. My next will be above the knee with the control panel and modified pocket. I think a maxi with stripes and heels could make you look taller 😁

    Love the skirt! I'm late in watching this, so I missed the reduced price. But I will purchase it because I love what you did with the pattern! You are truly an artist Karina. You have such amazing ideas and hacks. I think the large single pocket across the front of the skirt is a great idea. I can't wait to see your next skirt with that pocket. And the control panel in the waist band is just so smart!!

    When you sewed the pocket binding to the skirt gathered pocket, how did you decide which side to go on the feed dogs?

    • @LiftingPinsandNeedles
      @LiftingPinsandNeedles  4 роки тому +1

      I put the gatherers on top so I can control them. When gathering is a feature I do that. If the gathering is slight and it’s only to ease into another piece, I put the gatherers on the bottom so the feeddogs can help :)
