How to sew a Samantha skirt?
For the month of February, we invite you to discover Samantha, a flattering skirt that's full of movement and so comfortable to wear! With its waistband featuring ties, you can tighten it around your waist. Slits on the front and back give this model a flowing cut, and will keep your legs cool if you want to opt for a lighter version for summer! And if you don't like the slits, or want less of them, you can always close or adapt them!
Made with small details, this is an easy skirt to sew, but it will take a little time to get rid of all the little handkerchief hems.
We advise you to use a rather fluid fabric to maintain the suppleness of this model. In winter, a suiting wool, viscose gabardine or tencel will keep your legs warm. Looking for a little extra difficulty? Samantha will look great in suede! For summer, a seersucker or gingham for a riviera touch, or a viscose poplin are the b.a.-ba, but also linen if you like that touch. For autumn, it'll make a perfect uniform in chambray for a 90s revival! And for elegance itself, velvet or chiffon (be sure to double it) will give it a more couture feel.
To make Samantha, you'll need :
-3m fabric in 1.40m width,
-a 20cm invisible zip,
-50cm fusible webbing.
Enjoy your sewing session, and we'll see you in March with the Charlie shirt pattern!
