Could the skirt be lined or do you think that would affect the way it lays?
I've done pleats a thousand times over. I cannot follow the pleat markings for my size, the markings are hard to tell which size is which size. Is it just me?
Turn off all the layers that aren’t the size you need. Then you’ll only see the markings for your size
This isn’t related to the Sabina dress! How do I print out the Lillian Jacket from the Charm studio book? What am I missing?
Love the twill tape trick. Can’t wait to try it out.
It was great to see the finished garment on dress form but would be even better to see you wearing it. I love that this pattern has minimal pieces and less fidly bits so it can be sewed quickly as I get impatient if I can't finish it in a couple of days in-between all the other things life brings!
It's beautiful, truly. The video is clearly done and easy to understand.
Very excited about the expansion! Definitely a bucket list project! Also love the tip about reinforcing seams ❤️
OMG! I am in love with the Sabrina dress! I can see it in summer time with some cute little sandals on a date night!
