During this round of testing the Miss Fern skirt, we really learned a lot about how much the fabric dictates the fit of this waistband. I'm going to point out the big areas of consideration and I have some general tips including a gathering video down below. Let's get into this.
Polar Sweater/Dress
Living where it snows eight months of the year means that warmth, comfort and style are often on our mind when designing.

This versatile knit dress pattern is designed to work with mid-weight… Continue reading Polar Sweater/Dress
