Hi everyone! Here’s the next installment of the Crescent Sew-Along. Our next sewing step, after sewing the pockets, is to reinforce centre front. Mine is marked with a pin, a lazy marking technique but it works! (As long as it doesn’t fall out.) We’ll stitch through this circle marking with very tiny stitches in this step. […]
We’re going to start sewing for today’s post! The first step is to sew the pockets in our Crescent Skirts. These type of pockets are called slash pockets. I love this type of pocket construction! It’s simple, it’s easy to get good results, and it makes a comfortable pocket. Plus, it’s easy to make them […]
Today is all about working with fusible interfacing. I have a few tips to get the best results, from my own experience working with fusible interfacing.

Hello everyone! It’s back to the skirt muslins today. By the end of this post, we’ll have something we can try on. After finishing yesterday’s post, here’s what your work in progress will look like: Is that what your sewing table looks like? (More or less, depending on the view you’re making?) […]
Today we’re going to put together our skirt muslins. It’s much like sewing the actual skirt, but a little faster as we don’t have to finish everything perfectly. All right, let’s get sewing! Remember: you’ll need a zipper for your muslin. If that seems too wasteful, using up a zipper just for a […]
In this post, we’ll go over the Supply List, to make sure you’re covered, and to give you a chance to pick up or order any last-minute notions and trims. We’ll also start making our muslins! Ok! First, here’s what you’ll need for the Crescent Skirt Sew-Along. I’ve separated the list into must-have requirements, and optional […]
