Very pretty skirt, Nancy!

This is such a pretty skirt, the fabric is gorgeous.

I absolutely love it . You do such a professional job!

Each one of your skirts looks so nice and fits you so perfectly.

Sandra Betzina has a method of adding a vent to a skirt with lining. I've never done it but I remember reading about it. Nice skirt!

Sorry, forgot to tell you--the vent/lining technique was covered in the Skirts chapter of SB's Power Sewing. But yours looks perfect as is.

Nice skirt! Lovely fabric and great pattern matching at CB.

Hi!! What is "twill tape"? Does it come in a package?
6/14/09 9:36 AM
Thanks for the great review on your lovely, paisley pencil skirt. Your work is always impeccable, Nancy!

Twill tape is usually cotton or polyester tape that does not stretch. I like to buy the 1/4". A similar product is called Tailor's tape. I bought a HUGE roll from zipperstop.com and it will last me about 2 lifetimes! You can buy it in smaller quantities in packages, but it is sometimes hard to find. I have also purchased smaller quantities on ebay.

Thanks for your review - especially for mentioning that you generally stabilize at the waist with this. All your skirts look great and I really like how you matched the pattern at the back zipper/seam (on your blog). Also the helpfulness or not of the book mentioned regarding the lining vent. Can you please advise from your experience, for the measurements of one's actual hips, which size you would suggest? (i.e. one's hips measurement = x in., therefore choose pattern's actual hip measurements y in., which equals x in. + ? in.)

beautiful craftsmenship. lovely lining. my jaw dropped at how good that lapped zipper is! the main link for your "composite" picture when you click on the thumbnail isn't working. but everything else is.

Such beautiful workmanship. Love this print too.

Nice job on the skirt; thanks for recommending the pattern. I couldn't get my mind around C. Long's vent lining instructions, either. I just "deconstructed" the vent assembly on some Talbot's tailored skirts and copied their method. I know I have good instructions somewhere in the piles of books and magazines. If I ever find them, I'll let you know.

All versions look great, but I especially love the green paisley skirt! Great job!

Beautiful skirt Nancy, and a reminder that simple classic shapes are ultimately the best. I love the green.

Great looking skirt. Your lapped zipper method is fawless.

Your care and efforts to explain your procedures are very much appreciated. :)

That is pretty fabulous Nancy! Go Burda with the trend setting!
