Debut skirt, my first pattern published!

Today I published my first pattern on Etsy 😃, the Debut skirt. A milestone for me. It's been so much work. I had thought it would involve a lot of time, but it took even more time than I thought. Those last steps, when each time you think you're nearly there! If I had known in advance, I would probably not have done it 😁. 

The pattern comes in A4, US letter and A0 (copyshop) size and illustrated instructions. 

Without further ado, here is the link to my Etsy shop. 

You will find 2 patterns for the same skirt. The difference is that there is a regular (green background) and an hourglass (red background) version. 

For my Dutch readers: Dutch instructions are included as a separate file!

Let me know what you think. I'm open to constructive criticism. And when the pattern/style is not for you, that's perfectly fine. 

Skirt variations

 

It's a special experience to see a pattern that I drafted made by others. In this case my Debut skirt. 

I'm grateful for having such wonderful sewing friends. In the video you see me wearing my own versions and three others, made by a friend living close. She was so enthusiastic about it that she made three in a row :).  Lucky me that I could wear them for photos as she has a size close to mine. Another friend made a muslin and informed me that the fit was spot on. The instructions are being proof read and cheering along the way made me get this far. 

Waiting for a few more test results, then the pattern will be published officially!

Debut skirt - coming soon

In my post last week I mentioned I am working on a skirt pattern. It's being tested by a couple of friends at the moment and I hope to publish it very soon. Today a few photos of the skirt, which is asymmetrical and has pleats in the right front. In the second photo I wear it with a blouse in the same fabric, making it look like a dress. 

Always one of the most difficult things for me, taking photos. As you can see we had a little fun too :).

Seeing on the photos that there's a little wrinkle under the arm. Pity.
