VIDEO: Make Three Fabulous Embellished Felt Skirts
April's second Patreon project is one I am SO excited about: three ways to embellish the new Stanwyck Skirt pattern! With assistant designer Melisha Richter and special guest Amy Appell of knitwear design brand Poison Grrls, we were inspired to make three skirts with interesting techniques that will help you understand vintage embellishment methods. All three of these skirts were inspired by very specific vintage garments, and we'll show you how to recreate those beautiful details!
To get the appliqué patterns and written instructions, you must be in the $7 tier or above. All material and supply sources are in the instructions as well. Please see my separate post with those downloads! I can't wait to see your skirt. Don't forget to use the hashtag #stanwyckskirt!

I know I am late to the game but that was a helpful, fun video!!!
Late to the party! I'm planning a Xmas skirt, so had to watch. Great video, lovely to see Amy (my knitwear Goddess!) Part of my thing is applique, so it's wonderful to see it being used. Oh, now I've got so many options for my skirt - what to choose...
Is this a good fabric for the summer?
I just received my white wool felt! Have my black lace! My odif 606— my pattern— ready to make my Stanwyck!💗💗💗
Wow beautiful I have always wanted to make one of these xxx
This looks like so much fun! I loved watching this video! I say yes to more appliqués!!! 🌸
I have been hoarding vintage felt skirt patterns for the appliqués for years. So excited to pick one out!
Awesome tutorial! Loved all the techniques and different kinds of fabrics. I learned a lot and also had fun watching. Also, after watching your videos my 11 year-old-daughter only says "tur-kwaaaz" for turquoise! LOL
Gertie, if you were wondering about the '' Paillette" pornonciation, you got it right, in french we pronounce it like this: "Pie-yette" :)
Great video! 💖 excites to give it a go 🧵🧵🧵
I love the idea of more reproductions of vintage embellishments. I’m currently scarred from a baby quilt with appliqués, but I love the simpler ideas! I’m always afraid to add embellishments for fear of ruining the the project!
A-ma-zing!! I particularly love the harlequin version
More appliques would be great. Maybe one where you cut up motifs from large print fabric to use. I have the perfect piece of fabric to do this with. I think I'm going to also research using drill fabric and hand paint a design.
Yes more appliques please, just love them to spark up a plain skirt
Melisha, I love your accent!!! <3 <3 <3
Never would have thought to applique with lace. From a distance, it looks like a pencil drawing. Very effective.
I just love the colours in Amy's skirt!
so a quick search on the dictionary for Paiettes reveals that the "Pie" pronunciation is the correct one!
Love it!! That lace applique is the bee's knees.
Knocking it out of the park again!! Gorgeous work ❤️
How gorgeous, love them all xx
This was amazing! Thank you so much 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Omg you all are freaking gorgeous!! 😍 and the colors!! *swoon~* I can't wait to make my own
Melisha’s made NINE skirts already?! Queen!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
For fusible, the best recommendation I’ve ever gotten is iron from the front AND back just to make sure that glue sticks. And I personally never use steam.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Melisha is my spirit animal right now! Those PIElettes!! 😍😍😍😍
Shut the front door! This is fabulous. Thank you so much!
yes!!!
Oh my gosh!!!! The embellishment on Amys skirt! Wauw!! They’re all so pretty though!
How did you know I was planning on doing a corgi applique when I got my pattern?!?! Now I have even more ideas.
That diamond one is so cute!
