Are you looking for a fun project to sew this summer? Join me, Julie, as I take you through the steps of sewing Simplicity 9924, a cargo-style skirt with three different variations. There are a lot of techniques to cover in this sew along and am excited work on this with you!
How will the sew along work? Over a series of weeks, I will show you how to fit and sew this cute skirt. We'll talk about fabric choices, how to sew a fly-front zipper, install a jeans button and some finishing techniques that will make this cargo skirt look professional and less "homemade." Instruction will be in the form of YouTube videos and tutorials and released over a series of weeks.
