    This is perfect to put together for my granddaughters. We all can collect pieces of fabric and make skirts then have a cousins photo shoot.

    I love the whimsical style! The skirt ties are brilliant- I love long skirts and adding these would make it so much easier to wear them in cold wet weather. Can't wait to see what else youre making!

    I'm holding back tears and it's ridiculous. Your enthusiasm is infectious! I'm totally new to sewing, and I just love how you're willing to *show* your viewers what to do! I'm extremely extremely new, but watching your videos have given me the confidence to just *try*. I've gathered a ton of scrap cloth, made 6"x6" squares, and I'm going to practice sewing them together. If it all comes together as a skirt I like (I favor circle skirts!) then I'll try again with fabric I like! Petticoat included!

They were the first pants I ever made and three years later I’m still just as scared of zips so I’ll be making them for a long time. Would highly recommend!

    So wonderfully fun! This turned out amazing. It really reminded me of the patchwork skirt Barbara wears in the old British show The Good Life. I think it was diamonds instead of squares but this definitely had me thinking of that and how I instantly wanted one myself. I also loved your concept and approach and all the little touches - we all need some fairy magic in our lives!
    Ps. Definitely recommend The Good Life. Funny and cosy old watch.

    DIY Daisy’s trapezoid skirt is my favourite because the shape and length suits me and it sews up in no time!! All you need is some beautiful fabric (washed linen or a fabulous print in cotton are my personal favourites). I could live in a selection of these paired with t-shirts in summer.
    Love the colours in this skirt Carly!! Thanks for sharing your process and thinking. It’s all really refreshing :)

The story behind them so heartfelt (but some NICUs still don't allow) but it's great for ALL babies! They love the sensory of it and they love to whip them around. I've made SO MANY in just the last 6 months since discovering. Also, has anyone seen My Octopus Teacher on Netflix? ❤

SO as you can imagine it was so HEAVY that the waist band was only about 12 in around. i have a 44 in waist. then because all my fabric was second hand, some of it was so old that it was coming apart. the first wash was a MESS of threads!! if i do this again, zigzag will be essential.

    Beautiful skirt! I love the hem facing, looks so good. I was wondering: when you do patchwork garments how do you pick thread colour? Edit to add: i just realised there's so little visible stitching on this project you could really use up all those random thread bobbins!
    I think my favourite pattern hasn't quite been born yet. I have two button up shirt patterns which I've used a bunch of times - the Waikerie shirt by Muna and Broad and the Bloom shirt by Make by The Fabric Store. I love the fit of the bloom shirt and the collar of the waikerie shirt so I want to merge them together into my dream pattern!

    What are the circumferences of the first two tiers, compared to your waist measurement (if you want to share)? I'm trying to pattern a skirt based off of this, but I'm not confident about the top part of it.

    I've been sewing for 3 years. I've only used one actual pattern, and I didn't even follow the instructions 🤷‍♀ Mostly I use clothes I own, or just go by my measurements to draft a pattern.
    I watch sewing UA-cam videos, and also just figure things out with trial and error.. so I guess you could say I'm self taught?

    Hi Carly…I found you recently..I am a quilter…love patchwork…I am amazed at the garments you make with patchwork fabric…I just saw a new movie…It ends with us…the main character is wearing patch work garments…it made me think of you…check out the movie if you can

    omg that’s so beautiful. I’m definitely gonna have to do something like this when I’ve amassed enough scrap fabric
