When my sisters and I first starting learning to sew, our teacher had us do a simple skirt as the first project. So we each did our own using the same basic pattern drafted from our own measurements. This project I’m sharing here was made by my younger sister. Now that I think about it, how long ago it was… …
Teal Gathered Skirt with Pockets
When I was looking through my project photos, I found this and realized I hadn’t posted it yet. This is another project from probably 2019. My younger sister and I made this for my older sister.

Blue Gored Skirt – Sewing Pattern Test
I have posted about my first projects using Lekala sewing patterns: the maroon top, the blue fleece top, and the blue velvet blouse. The next project I did was a test for this sewing pattern from Sewist, Lekala’s sister site. When I first saw the gored skirt I wasn’t sure about it. I thought it looked kind of strange with …
