The 'Make It In May' Skirt Sew-Along



It's time for a Make It In May Skirt Sew-Along crafty peeps!

Here are the rules (should you choose to accept them):

  4. Sew Sew Sew
  5. Blog it and show it off
I'm making myself a winter version of the You Sew Girl A-Line Skirt using some gorgeous dark grey wool suiting that I picked up at the last Spotty sale. I'm hoping that I'll also have time to make at least one of the Lisette Skirts too (fingers crossed)!

Oh this is exactly the motivation i need to get me sewing for myself! Yes! Count me in, in, in! I've got some gorgeous wool suiting from spotty too, that's dying to become a skirt!

Nikki said...

Am I allowed to join in with my own skirt pattern?

Sheridan said...

I am so in.

Thanks for hosting!

Alison said...

Me too, me too! I just got Nikki's skirt pattern and I'm raring to go.

Jennie said...

I guess I could wait for Nikki to finish hers and then just copy...

Jody Pearl said...

Soooo excited - a girl can't have TOO many Splice Skirts!

Lien said...

Love these sew-alongs! Makes me get off my butt and just make it!

Yes! And just in time for Me-Made-May! AKA the month I bust out the skirt stash ...

Miss G said...

About time I sewed something! Yay. Count me in!

I need a kick up the butt to make something for myself....this is perfect. Thanks CurlyPops.

OKAY OKAY I will do this one! It is on my to do list so I can fast track this one!

Now I have to decide on the fabric and colours....

Ye Haw

Sally said...

I'm already to go... I was planning to make some skirts in April but time just got away from me. Bring it on in May I say.

Leonie said...

Was just looking at in my wardrobe today and tut-tutting about how raggedy my winter skirts are all looking. This is just the kick start I need.

planettreasures said...

This is a great idea! I'm excited!

annie said...

My sewing mojo is somewhere deep in my unused fabric pile so I will watch on intently for inspiration!

Tas said...

I have had Nikki's A line skirt cut out for months so this is a good kick up the butt to get it sewn up.

Looks like it is time to finish cutting out my A-line skirt and get it sewn up!! Lovely.

Fiona said...

Just worked out that I'm away for half of May (visiting family in the UK) and no time to fit a skirt in before I go. Can I make play along a bit late ... in June?!

Ren @ Sew, Renae said...

Whoops - I signed up using the wrong blog! Ignore The Red Wren - I'll be blogging this one at Sew, Renae!
I'll add another link :)

rachelmp said...

I'm in too. I have the fabric and I'll shortlist the fave patterns

Kathy said...

Just the motivation I need! FINALLY I will get to do the A- Line skirt I bought the pattern AND fabric for last October!

Marina said...

Thank you for hosting! I'm in. Have made my own summer skirts but winter ones are pretty thin on the ground!

Coco said...

Oh - it's late in May - but I will be making at least one skirt - promise!

thornberry said...

I've made one! And wore it yesterday and today! Hooray!

Tania said...

You're never going to believe this. I MAY ACTUALLY MAKE A MAY (not June) SKIRT! I know. My jaw dropped too.

PS. It ain't gonna be knitted.

Tania said...

OOPS. I mucked up the linky thing. (I MUST BE OUT OF BLOG PRACTISE).

I may have made the deadline but I promise, it ain't KNITTED!

peawink said...

How fun! I'm afraid I only just discovered the sew along. But I DID sew 3 Barcelona Skirts in MAY before we went on our holiday. What a fun coincidence.

flowerpress said...

Squeaking in on the last day! Love all the skirts you've shown Cam, lots of inspiration for some more sewing :-)

Bronwyn said...

I'm way late, but here is my contribution! Thanks Cam for the push!
