    I used to have a Lands End skirt just like this in denim, when my kids were Teenagers, I think. I loved it so much I wore it out and then they didn’t sell those any more. I have your pattern, but forgot what kind of skirt it is. I’m need to create myself a database of patterns and their styles. Most of my patterns are digital, so I don’t have envelopes with pictures. But I think I should definitely make this skirt very soon!

    I am in the middle of sewing the Strata top, and so glad to see this tutorial before I tackle the neck band as it can be tricky. We are having a rather chilly June in Scotland so I hope to wear my Strata in July…..

  • @gerriebell2128
    @gerriebell2128 Před 12 dny

    I just bought this today, to use as a simple pinafore. We shall see how it goes.

    I just finished sewing a Hinterland dress a couple of days ago. I've actually made it three times now. One with each type of sleeve option. I love the pattern! I just made the sleeveless version with "Otter Assembly" fabric by Michael Miller. It came out super cute!

    you know it's autumn in the Southern hemisphere...so Me Made May here in Australia is all about autumn/winter outfits ;) Thanks for the inspiration! I feel like most of these outfits still work for our current A/W climate. Just add a jacket!
