How to sew an Odette skirt?
Welcome to Odette, warmly acclaimed in our last vote! Very easy and very flattering, you can make it in half a day, fabric cutting included, for the fastest! Of course, don't forget to join the pattern in the middle front, if necessary, and choose your buttons carefully, because if they're small, you'll need more.
For more step-by-step details, see our Youtube channel is also there to guide you. We recommend you watch Odette's video to the end for a mini bonus on "how to quickly adjust the skirt to your shape".
To make it, you'll need:
-1.55m fabric in 1.40m width or 2.05m fabric in 1.10m width,
-0.5m fusible webbing,
-8 buttons at least 18mm in diameter.
We recommend that you make this skirt in a slightly stretchy fabric for greater comfort. In winter, velvets, cold wools, satin-backed crepes are the must-have materials, but you can also opt for a beautiful brocade, silk doupion or neoprene for an haute couture effect! For summer, a stretch gabardine will look great, or an ottoman in a bright color.
Enjoy your sewing session, and see you soon!
