Hi everyone! Welcome to the next sew-along! After reinforcing the centre front, we’ll gather the top edge of our Skirt Front and Back, and get ready to attach it to the waistband. Let’s get to gathering! There are lots of different methods of gathering, but I’m going to use the usual one that’s in the […]
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. […]

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 […]
