Any suggestions for sewing skirts? Should a rad fattie go for wide bottoms that bell out or tighter, pencil-style designs?
It depends on what the rad fatty likes to wear to be honest!!! I love wearing loose tops with pencil skirts and tight tops with big fluffy skirts, so there is probably room for all types of skirts in a rad fatty’s wardrobe.
Pencil skirt tutorials can be found on the internet in a few places, but I’ve never made one before. If I made one I’d buy some fabric with a bit of stretch for extra comfort.
Gathered skirts can be a snap to make once you get the hang of it. It’s basically a wide rectangle attached to a waistband, a band that cases elastic or a wide piece of elastic. Gertie has a good tutorial for full gathered skirts. And here’s a circle skirt tutorial too.
Good luck in your skirt adventures!
