How to Sew a Skirt to Get the Job: Interview Attire

May 16, 2014 by AllFreeSewing

We’ve all been there. You’ve got a job interview coming up and you have no idea what to wear. First of all, relax, you’re smart enough for the position and if they can’t see that then you don’t want to work with them anyway!

Second of all, instead of using your precious pennies on a new skirt, save some money and learn how to sew a skirt that you’ll look and feel comfortable in. Half of the hurdle of an interview is overcoming your nerves, and with these free sewing tutorials you’ll be notably more confident in your ability to put your best foot forward.

1. Anthropologie Ruffled Skirt Tutorial

For the girl who likes a little bit of flair and not just a straight edged pencil skirt, learn how to sew this Anthro-inspired piece.

3. Ruched Pencil Skirt

Certainly one of our favorite finds of late on the big, bad, worldwide web, we think this alternative take on the typical pencil skirt is fabulous. Many thanks to 2nd Story Sewing for sharing it!

4. The Charlotte Skirt

A low-waist skirt can still take a tip or two from the good old days. We love how this sewn skirt tutorial involves a asymmetrical ruffle along the hem for a clean but fun look.

5. Ruffled Peplum Skirt Tutorial

Go atypical when you learn how to sew a skirt by placing the ruffles at the waist instead of on the bottom hem.

Mosaic Christmas Tree Skirt

October 4, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd

Bernat Mosaic Yarn Christmas Tree Skirt
 
New video tutorial coming up. How to crochet your own Christmas Tree Skirt. 

Coming up shortly will be a new tutorial featuring this Bernat Mosaic Christmas Tree Skirt. If you want to follow a standard 6 Point Star Tutorial, you can do so. The difference between the 6 Pointed Star and this tutorial is that I have left a large hole in the center of the skirt to slip the articifial tree pole through it.

Some people may complain that a slit is more convenient, but usually my cats like to fiddle with the slit area and eventually crawl under it. Having no slit removes the curiousity and makes less hassle for me. My skirt here has to be slid onto the pole before inserting it into the base of the tree holder. Sounds a bit convenient but I prefer it that way. See this preview if you are interested in refreshing your skirt to something new.

There are 5 balls of Bernat Mosaic Yarn here. 2 Pyschedelic, 2 Balls Optomistic, and 1 Ball Calypso put into the star in that exact order. I put a couple lines of white to break up the colours but they are not put in where the balls stop and start. I strategically put them in ton Round 5 and Round 10. I circled the entire star at the end with a round of white done in triple crochet.
