I’m Canadian too living close to border in Ontario So nice to see someone from Canada sewing clothes on you tube. Great video and wonderful and complete camera work❤❤❤
I bought your pocket pattern to put into the Charm Society dress so I’ve been using the inseam version as that’s all I knew how to do. But the slash pocket version looks so easy! I can’t wait to try that version, thank you for demoing it!
I made a quick and dirty seam gauge on my machine with permanent marker. 😅 I have an old, beat up Husqvarna Automatic which has probably lived most of its life in a school, the paint is all scrathed up with peoples names and such. The poor machine doesn't have a seam gauge, so I just used a permanent marker to make short lines where I needed. Probably wouldn't do that on a "prettier" machine.
Great skirts. And your pocket pattern is great. I'm just curious as to whether wear petticoats under your skirts, especially with winter coming. As someone who wears skirts or dresses all the time, I can attest to the fact that they help keep my legs warmer in the winter here in western New York State. Though I usually don't wear tights. I don't like the way they feel on my legs.
I do usually wear tights or leggings, sometimes even with thigh high socks over top if its really cold. Its worth a shot giving petticoats a go; I'm not a huge fan of the way the tights feel either. The skirts might need to be a bit longer in that case. I am so glad to hear you are enjoying the pocket pattern!
Hi Ashley, Lovely skirt❣️❣️ Albertan here and I’m just getting back into sewing after many years.. I’ve never really sewn much for clothing, I sewed mostly upholstery like projects , but I am now venturing back into clothing.. Patterns and fit are a nightmare on this old 59 yo two different plus sized body areas…😂😂 If that made any sense! Hoping to make a circle skirt soon! Any advice on patterns, material, etc would help welcomed! I’m also hoping to upgrade my sewing machine in the near future and was wondering what best brand and type of machine I could get for a budget of around 5 or 600$ and good for a beginner to moderate level sewer? Sorry for all the questions…😬😬
Pretty much anything works for a circle skirt, and that's a great place to start. Charm patterns has a free circle skirt pattern that I would highly recommend. it goes up into quite large sizes and includes detailed instructions. As far as a machine goes, I would recommend having a look on marketplace for a used one. For that price point, the machine is mostly going to have plastic components which are not very forgiving to making mistakes. An older kenmore or something that you can break a needle on without fear would be my recommendation.

Yeah this one is so pretty it makes me nervous!
