Great tutorial. I watched to see how you attach the lining at the zipper. I like your method. You’re a great teacher and I like the fact that you do a good job and don’t just rush through without even using an iron. 😄

Love all you videos, you are an angel, you explain so simple, so clearly, and you allow People to love sewing . God continúe to bless you and your family. Love you honey. Keep up the good work.

Anita, I want to make this skirt with all of the options-- belt, invisible zipper, etc. I've been a sewer for many years, but I do enjoy your precise instructions and your attention to detail.

This was an excellent tutorial! You are so detailed and exquisite when you are teaching step by step. You are so thorough!! I really appreciate that! 😊 Thank you, Anita!

You were one of the first people I watched on KZfaq when I decided on a whim to start sewing and dusted off my dad's old machine and I cannot tell you how inspiring your videos have been to me since then. You have an amazing gift for teaching and I still come back to your videos for refreshers or little tips and tricks. Thank you ❤

Thank you Ms. Anita ❤ Your lessons have been a God Send.. Bless you

Excellent instruction for skirting lining. Best I've seen on the internet. Thank you!

As a beginner I really appreciate all the details you mention in all your videos. Thank you for making each segment so easy to understand.

This is lovely, thank you so much for this tutorial, you made it easy n simple to put up the skirt with lining n belt all together.

I need this. Can’t wait to watch. I’ll have some questions. Thanks for this!

Thank you so much! Having a thorough tutorial on installing a lining around the zipper was so helpful!

really good instruction. thank you.

Great tutorial

Great sew along!

I was at my local Joann's today hunting for a pencil skirt pattern and come upon that same pattern! It was not a great day to shop, here before the holidays (crazy store). After the New Year, I'm grabbing that pattern and some cool fabric and knocking this one off. Thank you for your instructions! You must be a teacher, uh? Good communicator. Thank you!

Beautiful

Thank you

Thank you Anita, for this very good tutorial. I have learned a lot from it. I saw your post on the pattern review site and you look fantastic in this skirt.

I am new to your tutorials..this is beautiful..thank you for sharing ..I am looking forward for more

I just found ur channel, Great work! Thanks for ur sewing knowledge and thanks for sharing.

Bon travail madame merci

thank you so much for yours vidéos i love 😍

Anita, as always great tutorial! I loved it. Looking forward to a blouse series and a blazer/jacket series...hint. 😁 Sonya

Excellent

Wonderful video I have this pattern as well.

Thankyou

❤️😁❤️😁❤️ This was SO much fun!! It was a great refresher for me, especially invisible zippers! Also, I think it is the coolest thing that I now have a sewing machine with a button hole maker! I'm 57 now, but I still have the machine I got for Christmas when I was 14 😁 and it did NOT. It has a wheel to choose the stitches: left, right and ends, but I had to follow my markings on the fabric. By golly I had to do some accurate marking! 🤣🤣 I also just watched what you made in 2019, I believe, where you rocked the plaid? I still CRINGE thinking about the outfit my aunt had me make her that was a dark red plaid and I had no idea about matching plaids! But she loved that outfit! She had me make a lot of her clothes. That really made me feel good😊 I was just thinking during this about how you adjust your patterns to fit your shape. I had no idea about that back when I was making my clothes. You have definitely given me ideas! You see, my problem is directly OPPOSITE yours. I am straight up and down like a popsicle with two sticks for legs. My waist is the same size as my hips!! 🤣😄😂😄🤣 I've weighed 190lbs and I've weighed 130lbs. It doesn't matter. (Right now I'm 152😁) SO you think I should get a pattern size to fit my waist and then draw down to the size that goes with my hips? That's also why I have a hard time buying slacks off the rack. If I get a size to fit my waist, it's huge on me around my bum AND legs. I have back problems: 2 surgeries and a spinal cord stimulator, looking at a possible third. Being basically in a recliner for 12 years made my weight go up, but having the stimulator has allowed me to be more mobile and lose weight. HOWEVER, I have lost a LOT of muscle in my legs and now they are pitifully skinny. I'm in physical therapy working on leg strength so we'll get them back in shape!!😁 I used to hike up and down mountains! I'm looking forward to doing it again! I can't wait to need to make myself a pair of hiking shorts that the legs zip off making shorts, Lord willing!! I love watching you and getting all excited about making clothes again!! I've been browsing patterns like mad!! 🤣😄😂😄🤣 Welp, I've talked your 👀 off! 💡💡💡 You know what, just an idea💡💡💡 I'm generally a size 14-16 off the rack depending. I wonder if you have any friends of a generous or curvy or different shapes? It would be really AWESOME to see you make patterns that aren't so form fitting, but more for them and have them style them! What do you think??

Great video Anita. My subscribers are always asking me to do tutorials. I need to send them to you! Hugs, Joy

Loved the video Anita! Would have loved to see the entire pattern envelope that you used.

This was a fantastic video. I just bought the pattern after watching your video. I do have one question as I'm pretty new at sewing...what kind of interfacing did you use for this skirt? Thank you so much and God bless you!

Very detailed tutorial, I love it, thanks. One question the lining is not attached to the seam of the vent area, I was wondering, will the lining not shift when walking?

Anita, thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I was good up until it was time to sew the lining to the vent. I hemmed both- the lining and the skirt (very detailed instructions on that. Thanks!) but then did not see how to attach sides of the skirt vent to the lining. Did I miss something? Thank you.

Just found your channel and I definitely need to go back to step one (beginning to sew) but I’ll be back because this channel is sooooo addictive!!!

😍😍

Does this fabric have any stretch? Beautiful job and fit.

Love this video. Question(s): how can the skirt be modified not to have a pleat? Next, can the skirt be modified not to have the belt loops? Thanks much

Hello hope all is well. In this video, did I miss how the lining was finished at the hem? Thanks!! 😊

I stumbled across this video a month or so ago and loved the pattern and your excellent tutorial so much that I ordered the pattern and some nice wool mix fabric. Started it yesterday and pieces cut out and ready to sew. Can you please answer a couple of questions? Did you interface both sides of the belt or just one? And there is a piece in the pattern called 7 Guide C but I have no idea what it’s for! It doesn’t show in the fabric layouts to cut it.

Did I miss something? How did you close up your vent edges? Thank you.

Can I make darts in place of pleats on the skirt thank you

Anita...fast questions...this is just what I've seen so far....lol. 1) you did not use an invisible zipper foot, did you? 2) when you did the bar tack on the zipper, did you change presser feet? Thanks

Last question 😉....what interfacing did you use for the belt?

On this skirt pattern can you change the front with regular darts instead of the squares that’s bringing large dot to small darts for a smoother front this pattern is 8004 mc call’s

Do you cut your pattern out on the right side of your fabrics or the wrong side up

Hi Anita. I love the pattern you are using. Where did you find such beautiful fabric? I love the color and it looks like it has a nice stretch to it. I'm looking forward to sewing this skirt!

Hi Anita. I just love this skirt. I have a poly blend fabric (95% polyester, 5% spandex). Do you think it would be possible to make this skirt with this blend? I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you

Thank you Anita. Another great tutorial. x
