I found a lovely wrap skirt online about a year ago, bought the fabric, but when it came down to drafting the pattern, it just wasn't clear. This is very good and presented in a way even a beginner can understand. I'll be making this for a future trip!
I agree. I can't wait until Friday every week to see what you're going to teach us next and get inspired to make for myself. You make it so easy for us. My sister in law is joining me for a challenge to sew your projects. 💖
I made my wrap skirt using this video over the weekend, and I absolutely love it! Thank you for this and all other amazingly detailed videos. Definitely one of the best sewing channels I've come across - please never stop creating.🌷
Thank you for your sewing tips, enthusiasm, and the time you take demonstrating and explaining how to sew. I am just beginning to sew for my daughter to have several nice pieces to wear for high school, and you have given me the encouragement, instructions, and reasonings to make such a beautiful skirt such as you have. I would not change any of your instructions in making the perfect wrap around skirt. God bless you and your work, and thank you for being an excellent instructor that presents all her work in a genuine, cheerful, and encouraging manner. Keep up the great work!!!!! Your Thoughtful Creativity youtube is awesome!!!! Many applauses! Thank you!!!!
I've been wishing for a quick, no fastener, wrap skirt to take to the beach that coordinates with my tank style swimsuit. This is it! You are my sewing Godmother, my dear! Can't wait to get started!
I really like this, there are many possibilities that you can do with the wrap. Like for me I need the wrap a bit more, so wind cannot take it. I found this out the hard way. I had bought a wrap skirt and the wind took it wide open. Now an idea is making a wrap pant. I have to think about that. Thanks for the video! Love all of your videos so very much.
Love this project. I am going to make this soon once I get my fabrics. I have actually realised today how many projects I have created because of you, I finished the jogger pants last night and I am absolutely in love with them (wearing them right now :-), I have also made the easy summer top, A line skirt and simple oversized tee in the past. Thank you so much Alisa. next projects will be this skirt and drafting for my kids.
Can you imagine, I am also wearing my joggers as we speak?! lol :) I am so happy that you are making, creating and just finding joy in this. It truly just puts a big smile on my face! Thank you for sharing and being here! Oh, use that A-line skirt for this project - it will save you time ! :)
I've been wanting more wrap dresses because they're easier to put on when my shoulders hurt. I have one that I can use to make the pattern for the bodice. But the skirt is straight, and I want an a-line. So this is perfect!
Thanks a lot for this video! I wasn't sure at first if I would be able to draft a pattern and actually make it right but it worked so well! Your instructions are easy to follow and it's so much better to actually make a pattern based on my own measurements. My skirt is really looking good and I am very proud of myself for making it! I will now be trying to make shorts 😁
Hello my Dear Sewing Friends - I hope you are doing good and feeling inspired! Have you ever made a wrap skirt? How to hem garments (rolled hem tutorial included) - ua-cam.com/video/p9j2gtjFxm0/v-deo.html
Very clear and useful tutorial. Even for non EnglishNorth-American/etc. folks! I think the first part is also useful to help draft other kinds of skirts or even pants.
You make sewing and pattern making look like so--much--fun. And when I go to my freshly oiled vintage sewing machine, I sit and think, "Now what to do?" I am truly a work in progress, but I love your videos. : )
I love this video! I have been eying those wrap skirts they show on the internet site. But they are so expensive.... Yours looks cute in the flowy fabric and I love the bound opening. That area does get stressed. Great job on this one! ❤️
So pretty! I like how the amount of coverage is flexible through your drafting method. I find that a lot of patterns or RTW open up too much, so this is perfect :)
I just found your channel and I love it! I am returning to sewing after many years. Your instructions are so clear and simple. I can't wait to try making this skirt as well as other projects you have created! P.S. I love your sign on the wall! Great message!
Wonderful and welcome to the channel! I hope you like it here, we have a wonderful community of people who sew and love creativity. I post videos every Friday - tomorrow is going to be a fun one, see you there :)
I love the direction this channel is going right now.😍🤩 Because before it was a bit, I don't want to say boring, but very basic and I'm more on the more fancy side of sewing. Don't get me wrong, I love this channel and your positive energy and I really appreciate the more and more upcoming topic of dresses and skirts! So thank you so much 🥰👍👏❤️ P.s. I hope it was kinda correct because I'm from Germany and my english is not perfect yet...😬😅😉
@@ThoughtfulCreativity you're very welcome 🙏 Much better to have personal tuition than a shop bought pattern. Summer is going to be much prettier this year 😁👍❤️
This is just what I was looking for. Cutting out the skirt as one piece. Thank you. Does the skirt have gone rounded in the front? Can it just be kept square?
This skirt is beautiful! I was wondering if you could show how to add pockets. I love having my hands in large comfortable couple pockets, as well when I walk my dog i like to carry a couple doggy trash bags for the little deposits that can happen
I too really like your wrap skirt version and bought some fabric that has a burnout pattern. This makes it quite see-through which won't be a problem for the front since it overlaps, but the back section will be. I thought I would add a lining piece for the back section only. The more I think about it, the more I wonder if that may alter how it hangs. Would i be better off just lining all of it? I would appreciate any helpful suggestions.
Janice, hello there - for the overlap - almost the full front, so that way if the wind blows - it won't open up easily. For the buttonhole - at the side seam :)
Okay, the one thing I didn't see in the video was where to place the belt. I tried centering it in the back, but that left one side too short, so I ended up centering it on one hip so it would wrap around enough to tie on the other hip. I would also recommend cutting the length of the belt twice the full width of the skirt plus 18" on each end for ties.
Pamela, hi there, on Amazon, I have a link to the "medical tracing paper" under most of my videos, but not under this one. I usually go through 1-2 of these per year, it is great for pattern drafting.
Kimberly, hello there! There sure are :) on Google drive you can either select to view it as thumbnails of PDF file or as a list of PDF files - whichever one is easier for you, the cover picture is like a technical picture of the wrap skirt, not the actual picture of this skirt. :)
What is your first video on drafting. A pattern I’d like to start from the beginning with you Thanks in advance im in Lille France for three years on a military exchange with my husband and I am doing. A lot more sewing.
Darlene, hello there. Click on my channel name and go to the "Videos" tab on my channel, you can see all tutorials there and decide which one you want to start with.
Found it! The amt was mentioned at the 9min mark. Missed ot the first time & thought it was mentioned at the beginning. I was about to rmv my comment but your comment beat me to it :) Plus the type of material is a "woven, non stretch with a beautiful drape". Are there non-woven ( like ?) ? Didn't realize. I found some plain cotton print. Thx
@@ukelilly no worries, usually "woven" are referred to fabrics without stretch, like cotton, linen, silk and etc. And "knit" to fabrics that have stretch to them due to the way there made by knitting.
The fabric I want to use isn’t big enough for me to cut one continuous piece from the pattern, do you think one side seam would look weird if I were to cut two pieces?
thanks ive been looking for how to measure for a wrap skirt. i had a 70s pattern made in 3 pieces that I loved and made several times. My waist is naturally smaller compared to my hips even when young and skinny so Id make in 3 pieces if you have fit issues or a baby tummy as I do now. also the waistband belt had a seam where you overlap so you left openings in that seam. Alway good direction to get real life measurements to patterns to fabric to real life clothing.
@@darinl9405 before saying things like that please watch the video again and pay attention and then also pay attention to the fact the the skirt has no seams to it.
THANK YOU(in shouting voice because THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR!) I've been waiting for this for soooooo long!
💝✂️ I discovered a way to sew faster and easier even as a beginner, I talk more about it in my channel, I hope it helps those who need it. 😍😘

So pretty! I like how the amount of coverage is flexible through your drafting method. I find that a lot of patterns or RTW open up too much, so this is perfect :)
This is a very useful video. I wasn't able to understand how to attach the binding to the buttonhole. Can you explain again. Thank you.
Thank you so much... this is great : )))) Happy Easter to you and your family.

Love it, made a wraparound pants and it came really bad. so I will try the skirt. I'm just scare of the hole. hopefully I'll do better
Very nice video. Thank you!. Is it possible to say how wide was the fabric? The length was 36 inches and the width was??
Really loving this one, I’m gonna try this on a silky material I think 🥰 thank you Alisa how about a semi flare bias skirt pattern too
This is just what I was looking for. Cutting out the skirt as one piece. Thank you.
Does the skirt have gone rounded in the front?
Can it just be kept square?
It can absolutely be square! It can even have a scalloped edge - whatever you decide :)
Here's Members Extra for this skirt! :) ua-cam.com/video/GHgncS7ltcY/v-deo.html

Do you have any videos on learning how to do closures? Thank you so much for all your teach us
Please go to my channel and click on the "video" tab - you will see a ton of sewing how-to videos.
How many inches of fabric did you over lap in the front?
How do you determine where to make the button hole in the waistband?
Janice, hello there - for the overlap - almost the full front, so that way if the wind blows - it won't open up easily. For the buttonhole - at the side seam :)
Like it very much but,do you have a pattern for a narrower waist band
Just make your waistband as wide or as narrow as you would like.
Can this skirt be made using linen Cotton Launlinen with Linen & Rayon softened fabric?
Is there a way to add pockets to this wrap skirt? Thanks!
Make side seams instead of cutting it all as one piece of fabric and add pockets.
Do you prewash the fabric?
First or second point of this video is the answer to your question - ua-cam.com/video/g8IknbTh1pM/v-deo.html
Okay, the one thing I didn't see in the video was where to place the belt.

Well..I like it..But It is impossible to make this skirt out of 1 yard of fabric.
And... yet I did it. Like I mention at 8:30 in the video, you might need less or more fabric.
