I made the Julep skirt yesterday and it's just as simple and quick as you say. Wish I'd read your review first though as waistband came out much too big and I'd also made a pattern alteration to increase waist size by 2" as my waist was that much larger than the pattern size I chose. Going to make another one and not make these alterations this time! Any ideas how I can rescue the skirt I made already to reduce waistband size, without taking the whole thing off?

I'm going to try to get started on the new HP this weekend, but my main priority is sewing a set of penguin-print summer PJ's for Eva. She threw a fit and insisted on wearing her flannel penguin PJ's the other night, even though it was 72 degrees in the house. (And when Eva's too warm, she doesn't sleep, and when Eva doesn't sleep, the rest of us don't sleep.)

My prom dress had a mullet hem, as did many prom dresses that year, since I think many teenage girls wanted to look like Stephanie Seymour in the "November Rain" video. <br /><br />I made no alterations to the skirt whatsoever, length or otherwise.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-8629552692669663032014-05-20T13:52:58.771-07:002014-05-20T13:52:58.771-07:00Thanks!

A big part of the reason I re-started this blog was to give a little attention to some of the lesser-known patterns/pattern companies and, for better or for worse, show what they look like on a curvy figure. I hadn't seen much of that out in the blogosphere. (Since then, the Curvy Collective has emerged, and I love what they're doing. The more, the merrier, right?)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-3845762881398890992014-05-15T14:02:25.107-07:002014-05-15T14:02:25.107-07:00Thanks, it's very comfy!Thanks, it's very comfy!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-18448965229261464552014-05-15T10:53:44.068-07:002014-05-15T10:53:44.068-07:00What a great looking outfit!

I love the stuff you sew and post and your pattern choices have been inspirational to me. Because of you I have downloaded SBCC's Tonic Tshirt pattern and it's on the cutting table right now. I also had plans to buy the maxi skirt pattern next payday (material for it was this payday) and now I"m thinking I want this pattern too! <br />Thanks for a great blog.Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754571992726282988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872782147494855823.post-61675235158148647272014-05-13T18:17:31.957-07:002014-05-13T18:17:31.957-07:00I like the skirt and the top--the colors are beaut...I like the skirt and the top--the colors are beautiful.
