Even if i never make this skirt, I've picked up little tips to use during sewing! Thank you so much

I just wanted to thank you for this brilliant video! I just recently made a lined sequin pencil skirt for my works Christmas party... following this tutorial. I had soooo many compliments from my colleagues... I was chuffed to bits. Thank you Stich Sisters .

Hey ladies, thanks so much for this! Very well explained and easy to follow:) I just bought some suede-bonded scuba that I'd like to make a skirt with:) I took my measurements and pinned my fabric for later (once the kids are in bed tonight I'll hopefully get to cut it out and sew for Sunday!).

Just found you girls have watch all your videos, I am subscribed to lots of other sewing channels, you girls rate at the top for me, I have been sewing now on and off for about 40 years but the last 2 years have got back into vintage clothes, I have 3 girls and I sew for them as well. Love your channel so glad I found you really enjoy your videos and look forward to many more. Thank you. Cheers Tricia.from Australia.

Hi Stitch Sisters - that looks great! I have yet to do the scuba circle skirt but plan to fly back to the UK in November, so I can pick up all my fabrics and patterns (and the scuba!) then! x

Loving the scuba pencil, definitely on my list for after the summer hols, I made the scuba circle with 'dancing' elephants - they go all ways and it was the most commented hand sewn item ever. the pencil skirt will be great for work I. Autumn :) keep up the great video tutorials - I think we will have to start putting requests in;)

When you went back and reshaped the waistline adding a little bit, I have a sway back, so how would I do mine.love your videos, and so glad I found you. TYI. 🌹🌹

I'd already cut my scuba skirt out months ago before I watched this video! Why does the stretch have to be in a certain direction and which way should it be please, left to right (between selvage) or up and down? Thanks, nice upload x

Hi, couldn't wait to make this, its looking fab, just one query, does the waistband elastic stay on the outside of the skirt? I have watched over many times and I can see that it is attached to the right side, do you just tuck it in?
