Following 1950's Skirt Patterns : Sewing through the Decades
This isn't early access - but it is my newest video! And one of five that I would like to post this week. We'll see how that goes.
This features two 1950's skirt patterns made by McCall's. These are probably the simplest garments I've made so far, but they are also my favorites.
Even though these are the "simplest" garments from the project, they ended up taking longer to construct than some of the others. Because I tried to do more work by hand than usual, and follow the minimal instructions more closely.
But I think it was worth it, I really like both of these pieces! And now I want to make more skirts!

I LOVE THESE. I really like the ribbon waistband facing or whatever that is. I feel like that is a technique I need to have in my arsenal.
Aren't well-made skirts an absolute pleasure to make and wear? Lovely work, Angela!!
That grey skirt is perfect!
My vote goes to the grey skirt, it fits you great and gives me more of a vintage vibe. Though I prefer the orange/reddish color of the fitted one. Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas 🎁
The grey skirt is so pretty
McCall's 8673 is your skirt, Angela! It's very flattering to your silhouette, plus you get a nice bit of swish and swing from the half-circle skirt!
Wonderful stitching....I enjoyed all of your reddish skirt😺
Really love the second skirt especially! <3
That grey skirt is super cute!!
Lovely! 😍
