DIY MIDI PENCIL SKIRT WITH FLOUNCE - PART 2

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

This post is a follow-up to my last post.

My students were excited to start making their pencil skirts, they came to class with several kind of knit fabrics they wanted to use, LOL!!  One of my students purchased tulle for her flounce instead of using her knit fabric.  When I first saw the tulle I had no idea how it was going to look but I'm a believer in letting my students be as creative as they want to be, if they're happy with their garment, I'm happy.

My students were working hard on making their skirts.

Here are my students wearing the skirts they made.

This student wanted to use tulle with the lips for her flounce, it turned out beautifully.

This student was very happy with making her first skirt.

Both of these young ladies have plans to make another skirt and they have signed up for another sewing class session.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

DIY MIDI PENCIL SKIRT WITH FLOUNCE - PART 1

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

I know I've been away for awhile, sometimes life get in the way of what you really want to do, but I'm back on track and I'm going to work hard to be consistent with blogging.

One day I was browsing through some sewers Facebook pages to see what my fellow sewers were making, I came across Kimberly Ellis-Fason's page where she posted she made a DIY Midi Pencil Skirt with a flounce and she posted how to make it on her Youtube Channel.  First, I LOVE Pencil Skirts, second I sometimes like to make something that's quick and easy which helps to build my wardrobe.  I decided to checkout her Youtube Channel CallmeKimberly to see how to make the pencil skirt.

Recently, I started teaching sewing classes in my home again. My students told me they wanted to learn how to make a pencil skirt.  How ironic right???  I had watched Kimberly's channel earlier that day, I gave my students the supply list for making their skirts for the next class.  I decided to make the skirt myself ahead of the class so the students could see how their skirt would look.

This skirt was quick and easy.  I will be making more, a black one and a floral print one too.

Thanks for stopping by!
