I too wish the belt loops had a video
Are there instructions for just the skirt version?
Hey, I was wondering because I see it different in the pictures. Would it be terrible if I change the two front darts, and make it just the one on the waistline?
other than printing and taping at home, who are you printing with?
ThePlottedPattern.com or PDFPlotting.com are good options. If you live in America!
Hello Charmers I am new to the whole patreon thing. I have no clue how it works. I hope I don't miss stuff.
I wish we could see the belt loops in this video! I find it hard to visualize sometimes, but I will take that part slow❤️
Has the studio gotten a beautiful, very pink, face-lift! It looks great!
Love this and watching was so relaxing.
Thank you, Kristin, for sewing for us!
Amei...
I may pair the skirt with a vest/waistcoat instead of the v-neck jumper top. I have some lovely wool plaid that has been screaming vintage academia to me but I’ve been nervous to pull the trigger.
I'm confused! Jumper? I see a skirt, pinafore or a dress, where is the jumper? Oh! I get it now! Jumper obviously means something different to you than us in UK. Here a jumper is a knitted garment. So, what is the jumper? I do like the skirt but if I made it I would probably leave out the box pleats unless I was using a thinner drapey fabric. I am very pear shaped and those pleats would bulge out and look awful. The front opening is just what I like.
Jumper is a dress you wear layered over a shirt usually, so it's what you call a pinafore. I believe we call what you would call a jumper a sweater. :-)
I love academia! Super excited
I can’t wait to make this!!!
I need to track down plaid fabrics. I don't have enough of any of my plaids to make anything more than an accessory. 🫣😍
Oh! My guess was right! Academia. 💕💕💕
