How to Make the Adjustable Waistband Skirt: Behind the Seams of Coquelicot Skirt (Wildflower Design)

Learn how I made this skirt pattern, the modifications I made, some tip and tricks on making sections easier, and answering your questions about the first video!

FIRST VIDEO: A Skirt that ALWAYS Fits: Comfortable...

In the first video, I took a break from a longer project with a fun new history-bounding skirt pattern that I’m quite excited about! It’s the Coquelicot Skirt by Wildflower Designs, and there are SO MANY fun features in the skirt that get me excited!

It truly seems like the perfect skirt for those who'd like some historical fashion mixed with a healthy dose of practicality and accessibility! This skirt has a 1940s silhouette, but with giant,18th century pockets and an adjustable waistband to fit your body regardless of weight fluctuation... can it get any better than that?!

In addition to sewing the skirt, in that first video I also reached out to the pattern creator, Melanie, to see if she’d chat a bit with me about the pattern, the inspiration behind it, and her creative process.

It was a super interesting conversation, but unfortunately that didn't leave much time for discussing the construction, or narrating what I was doing at every step of the way. So that's what this videos for!! #coquelicotskirt #historybounding #skirttutorial
