Circle skirts can go ANYWHERE, y’all!

Music: “We Dance” by Coyote Hearing from YT’s free audio libraryTutorial: Easy Baby Hem with Sew NTell!Marcy Harriell2021-06-27 | I could twirl for DAYS in this floaty baby hem! It’s the finishing touch on this DIY baby pink 'n blue sundress. Easy to sew, makes a completely flat finish (no gathering needed!) and uses just a teeny bit of your hem allowance-- under an inch! Great for when you want a flat hem with maximum twirl potential.
Made with fabric from the Love Is Love Pride collection by @MxDomestic

Great for beginners, fitting (and re-fitting)Marcy Harriell2021-06-20 | This zipper method is easy to sew, easy to remove, and that makes it easy to LOVE. Sew it with me, as I test-drive one of my newest draped dresses with this super simple closure.
Before putting a ring on it, I like to wear it out--cuz wearing a garment out in the wild is never the same as in front of your sewing machine!
