Bri shares her Helmi pattern hack! She made a couple of little changes to personalise the pattern, and she loves the result.

Jo here with my new Rosalie skirt! It’s such a fun, twirly skirt that brought me out of my comfort zone, both in terms of style and sewing. I designed Rosalie in collaboration with Peppermint Magazine late last year, so it’s available as a pay-what-you-can download (check it out HERE!) I made this one up in a a plaid and the stripe matching really taught me some lessons!

Our Guest Maker series continues with a hack tutorial from Bri of @BriMichelleMade. She made TWO versions of the Ella Skirt - each with a stretchy twist and is here to tell you how to make your own Elasticated Ella Skirt!

Today I'm going to show you how to create a flounce for the hem of the Sabrina pencil skirt, although you can use this technique for any pattern!  If you haven't already got the Sabrina pencil skirt pattern, you can buy it here. It comes in three different fit styles for different body shapes!

The video has step by step instructions, so check that out first, but there are more details below if you need them! 

Today we're going to go over how you can customise the Clementine pattern to create a deeper cowl! This technique can also be used on any other pattern you like too, which is very exciting and gives you endless options for creating the cowl of your dreams. Read on for a full photo tutorial.
