Leading up to the Christmas break I became interested in sewing...again.
Ive always wanted to make my own clothes but have always found sewing machines, overlockers and patterns extremely intimidating.
I had been noticing that some of the vintage style girls I follow on Instagram were making their own clothes and with the endless supply of beautiful fabrics around, the ability to make unique pieces inspired me to pull my finger out of my proverbial and overcome my fears.
So I draggwd out my trusty Brother Star 15 machine, which although must be about 12 years old now, is still running like a dream.
I already had a number of beginner patterns in my stash but decided to start with a gathered skirt using a fabulous YouTube tutorial by Gretchen Hirsch.
This tutorial covers every step from start to finish...from measuring your waist, drafting the pattern, cutting out the fabric, inserting a zipper and of course sewing the piece.
I'm proud to announce that I did finish the skirt which I will share in my next post.
