This was hands down, the BEST sewing tutorial that I've seen on YT. I love a lot of sewists on here but your tutorials are so thorough. You didn't leave one detail out and you didn't just speak to the camera without showing what you were doing. The smallest details were covered. My cousin wants me to make her a skirt even though I'm an amateur but now I feel confident that I can do it if I take it slowly. I'm gonna practice on a muslin first but I'm so excited to follow your tutorial.
Thank you!!! My goal is t to make sure that everyone feels confident when sewing along with me, thank you for letting me know that I am fulfilling that. Yes, practice on muslin first, I did the same thing when testing the radius. You're going to do great! I can't wait to see the skirt you create!
Girl! As long as I've been sewing, I never would have thought to put painter's tape at the mark on the sewing machine to make it easier to follow along! Genius!
Honestly the only pocket tutorial I ever use. I’ve only ever put in about 6 pockets in my life and they’ve all come out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and skill!!!
I believe we are stronger as a community by sharing diverse ideas and even the seemingly simple ideas. It's little things like your painter's tape hack that remind me of that (also makes me wonder why I didn't think of it--lol).
❤made it. Came out perfect. Do you have a measurement work sheet for a quarter circle skirt pdf free download. I like the quarter circle skirt more. Thank you 🙏
I have gone through the comments and didn’t see this asked yet… did you cut the fabric on the bias? That’s what it looked like and I wanted to be sure. You’ve done an amazing job. I just found y;ur channel and so far it’s been great!
hi, can i ask..when it comes to adding the pockets you say "we have made two knotches, one at the bottom and one at the top." I only saw you cut the bottom ones on the front panel when we made the pattern, "wo cuts half and inch apart" where should the top knoch be? also is it possible to know the dimentions of the pocket as i dont have a printer. This tutorial is so clear and helpful. thank you. x
Hi! I love your tutorials! You're very detailed and clear! However, I was wondering why it was necessary to trim the waistband after attaching it to the skirt?
The edges of these pieces of material look like they already have some sort of stitching going on. The edges of your last piece were never stitched. Is this important? Will this change the skirt?
Thank you!!! Yes, I did serge the edges of my pocket and the side seams of my skirt. Thank you for pointing that out, moving forward I think I'll put a pop up bubble reminding viewers to finish off their seams
I am sorry, maybe I have missed something, but where did the back pattern came from?... I saw you doing the front, yes, but the back? I am confused. :( I wanna do this but I am lost. Can someone reply please? I really need to know.
Thanks! Great tutorial. Any idea why my waistbands always have a gap once completed? My measurements are correct but what's happening is the band fits perfect right where the zipper meets between the body of the skirt and the waistband BUT the top part of the band have gaps. I have been trying to figure that out for a while but can't. All suggestions are welcomed!
I had that once to with a waistband. The best option in my opinion is to make a waistband that consists of 3 parts, 2 back to side pieces and 1 front to side piece. Same as the skirt pieces. The top of the sideseam can act like a sort of dart. I hope this idea will help you.
@@shrondag If you want to know the exact amount you need to take in at the top of the side-seam-waistband, then you can measure yourself at the approximate hight above the waistline.
Thank you and you are so welcome!!! I use painters tape as seam allowance guides. The lines on the machine aren't the best and the tape has helped with my accuracy
on your resources page you show 2 different radius guides. what is the difference please. I wish to make a midi from this, with a larger waist/hip than you, hope I can figure how much 60" material to purhase
Hi. I have one radius for my half circle skirt, which for this tutorial here and the other radius guide is for my high low maxi circle skirt, which as full circle skirt. You may only need about 3 yards of fabric for a midi skirt using 60" wide fabric. I used about 4 yards for my maxi on 45" wide fabric.

Well spoken she gets to the point. She made me get back into sewing again.
Girl! As long as I've been sewing, I never would have thought to put painter's tape at the mark on the sewing machine to make it easier to follow along! Genius!
I love it! I even bought 1/4 inch width to use on my serger, works great.

You have a natural talent as a teacher. I made the circle skirt with you and have received so many compliments.😃
maxi skirt with pockets? perfection
Pockets are everything!!!
Gorgeous ❤
Can I ask why the serging process isn't shown? It seems pretty significant
I’m making this right now! Not as hard as I expected, thank you!
I've made two skirts using this tutorial and I'm working on a third right now! Its really rad and super easy to follow :)
That's so wonderful Lydia!
This is fantastic! Thank you, Montoya!
I'm a beginner and this was a great video.
Very good! I sew pockets 2" down to eliminate bulk under waistband as well as to keep from reducing the size & length of the pocket ...
Thank you. That's a good technique to use.
You're an excellent teacher and tutorial was detailed. Best I've seen on UA-cam
Thank you so much!!!

Good job my dear, God bless you
Thank you!!!
Nice skirt
New sewer here. I am making this skirt. Before you put the skirt together, did you overlock the entire thing?
Did you serge the edges of your fabric before you started pinning pocket pieces together?
If I don't have a serger can I just leave the edges as is? Thank you! I'm new to making clothing.
Wow, this is great, thanks for sharing
Jx asking me why we've now met😅.
Please can you make a tutorial on a crop top?
what type fabric is the pink and what's the width. Awesome tutorial.
Thank you! The pink fabric is crepe fabric with a moderate stretch. the width was 55 inches.
This is an excellent tutorial. I'm wondering would this still work if I wanted to add to a bodice instead of a waist band to make a dress.
hi, can i ask..when it comes to adding the pockets you say "we have made two knotches, one at the bottom and one at the top." I only saw you cut the bottom ones on the front panel when we made the pattern, "wo cuts half and inch apart" where should the top knoch be?

What fabric are you using in this video
How do you get a full circle skirt using all your ankara fabric do you cut more panels to get that big full look?
Oh my! this is a neat tutorial~! Thankyou Montoya. If anything could you add some music in the silent bits :D
@ Alexia Carbines
Music is subjective, every one has different musical tastes. I prefer the silence, it is soothing.
Fabulous video! I'm making one now. How did you know where to put the dot for the zipper? What size zipper did you use?

Beautiful🌹💖🌹
Thank you!
please don't
Why I never had blue tape on the machine :D thanks for the tip :D
You're welcome! It really helps me to get clean lines
Did u put pleats in the skirt fabric? When attaching the waistband it looks pleated.
Happy b day ms mayo

@@MontoyaMayo how do you do it on a regular machine? With normal thread?
Nice lesson , could you give specification of sewing machine that preferable for all type of fabric
Thank you! I can only recommend the machine that I have: Brother SQ9185
I am sorry, maybe I have missed something, but where did the back pattern came from?... I saw you doing the front, yes, but the back? I am confused. :( I wanna do this but I am lost. Can someone reply please? I really need to know.

How do I get the pocket pattern please. It’s direct me when I clicked on the link do I have to register to get it?
Yes, the free resources are for members who are subscribed to my blog.
What stitch did you use?
straight stitch, 2.5 length.
@@MontoyaMayo thankyou
Love your tutorials!! What is the significance of the painters tape? Just curious
Thank you Montoya and thanks for replying to me on IG!!!!

How many yards to make this skirt?
I used 4 yards
