Sandbridge Skirt Testers

Women's Patterns

You guys, I am completely blown away by my testers during this round.  They put up with me for a major fit alteration halfway through testing and they all still ended up with gorgeous skirts!  You would never guess that this was the first time sewing a functional zip fly or installing belt loops and rivets for many of them.  These ladies are amazing and deserve some serious gratitude and love!

Be sure to grab the Sandbridge Skirt this weekend and prepare for the sew along starting on Monday!

I keep coming back to admire Meghan’s ikat-ish denim Sandbridge.  I think she just nailed that fit with this gorgeous and unique fabric!  (this one also features a sewn hem if you wanted to see how that looks!)
Meghan

Tone embellished her cute view B classic denim skirt with the cutest heart detail in her top stitching on the back pocket!  I love all the ways you can customize this wardrobe basic!Tone

Tami’s pics look straight out of a magazine – how amazing is that perfectly top stitched skirt against those fun backgrounds?  Love these!  She’s also showing off a cute leather patch on the back waistband, which is a fun detail to add to your skirt.Tami

I love the shade of Patti’s shorter Sandbridge and how it almost looks like chino styling.  Bonus, she paired it perfectly with her Key Largo Top!Patti

Pam used corduroy for her view B but left the hem raw for a really awesome beachy/grunge look.  Is beachy grunge a thing?  It is now!Pam

Melissa made hers a bit more polished by tailoring it to be more fitted and hemming the bottom.  I absolutely love her monochromatic styling here with that amazing necklace!Melissa

Anne also paired hers with a Key Largo and a yet-to-be-released pattern 😉  There’s nothing like a dark wash denim skirt in your wardrobe, you’ll wear it constantly! I would even say it’s a must in a capsule wardrobe.Anne

Carlada personalized her Sandbridge by leaving the top of the back pockets raw so they would fray to match the hem.  The styling on her model is impeccable!  Perfect teen friendly pattern!carlada2 carlada

I love that Brenda used a polka-dot type fabric for her Sandbridge!  It adds so much visual interest while still remaining neutral.  Cute outfit!Brenda

Try to glance away from that fab necklace for a second to check out Becky’s amazing mustard Art Gallery denim Sandbridge.  That bold pop of color is everything.Becky

Cat sewed up two Sandbridges!  The first one is just killing me with that railroad stripe and the perfectly placed rivets.  I also love the unexpected color of her shorter length version.  Despite the bold shade I think it works perfectly as a neutral and will also be a wardrobe staple.  It never hurts to pair it with the cutest jewelry and sandals too!Cat2 Cat

Cori also used a stripe fabric for her Sandbridge.  I love the nautical vibe happening here – perfect for summer!Cori

Emily also made two skirts and I love that she used colored fabric for each one.  That lime green fabric is perfect for this style, and check out those gorgeous insides!  I love the broken-in look of the blue skirt too.  I admit to sitting with mine scrunched up before I left the house to try and emulate her vibe.EmilyEmily2

Emi’s whole outfit is so on point I can’t even.  That hat and camera remind me that the Sandbridge is an excellent piece to pack for vacation – it’ll go with any top and if you make it in a plain darker wash like this nobody will realize you’re wearing the same thing every day!Emi

Crystal basically nailed the look I was dreaming of when I started working on this pattern.  That bleached denim and the heavily frayed hem, paired with a simple white tee and sandals?  Yep, perfection.  I could and have lived in this look all summer.Crystal

If you guys have been around for awhile you know that Fleurine never fails to take jaw dropping photos and then pose in them like, “oh this little fjord?  I’ve had this thing forever.”  Pretty sure she lives in a Norwegian travel magazine.  Stunning as always!  Love seeing the Sandbridge styled for fall with a perfectly slouchy sweater, beanie, and boots!Fleurine

Jacque’s bold colored Sandbridge is just screaming summer to me – I imagine that skirt goes with the majority of her tops and will be perfect for throwing on for weekend bbqs and baseball games!jacque

I love LOVE that Iva used a floral for one of her Sandbridges!  How amazing is that?  I need a printed skirt STAT!  She also used old jeans to cut up and make her denim Sandbridge, which is kinda the best.Iva

Indu is gorgeous as always in her perfectly tailored view B.  Those back pockets look like high-end ready to wear denim to me!Indu

Kristin is speaking my language here with a laid back skirt and cute printed tee.  We’ll basically be twinsing all summer long.  Kristin

I love Maria’s polished Sandbridge in that beautiful denim.  Paired with a True Bias Ogden Cami she’s ready for dinner on the patio at a trendy restaurant or Sunday shopping.  I think she really nailed the fit on hers too!Maria
Last but obviously not lease we have Kristin, who went way above and beyond with her back pocket stitching.  I mean, can you even stand how awesome that is?  I audibly gasped and it took me several moments to notice how she also nailed the fit of her Sandbridge in that cool cross hatch denim.KristinB3

I’m including more detail shots because I think it’s all just so beautiful and creative and fun and we like all those things around here!KristinB2

Absolutely amazing work ladies!  We are in awe!  Thank you very much for all your muslining and sewing and pinching and pinning to perfect the fit on this pattern!

    […] Two options for this next step – 1: edgestitch along the side seam on the back of the skirt from waist to hem.  2: edgestitch to a point that aligns with the bottom of the pockets or slightly above and then finish the seam with a bartack.  This is a traditional jeans detail that is necessary because it isn’t physically possible to sew down to the hem of a pants leg after construction.  However, on a skirt it is just decorative since you can sew all the way down to the hem.  I went with option 1, obviously, but several testers did option 2 if you want to check out the tester round up!

After five different iterations, I've settled on w After five different iterations, I've settled on what I believe to be the easiest and most guaranteed successful way to sew convex and concave "V"s. (Spoiler: simple is almost always best!). Luckily this one didn't take too much experimentation.  I can remember a few tricky techniques where I ended up using paper towels because I was tired of using up so much muslin 🙈⁣

Everything is figureoutable!  That's my mantra, and it's always my goal to find ways to make sewing up HJ patterns as easy as possible for you.

Excited to get this pattern out to you in the next month or so. It's been my cozy winter lockdown outfit all week ☺️⁣

Nothing scarier than hearing the serger running in Nothing scarier than hearing the serger running in your sewing room when you're not in your sewing room 😱. But this girl decided to get up and make herself a Nikko Top and I'm so proud 🙌. I haven't really taught my kids to sew, but I'm happy they're getting into it on their own anyway.  I'll be here to nurture their interest and attach arm bindings when they ask though!  How are you approaching this skill with the next generation?⁣
