EYMM Capsule Skirt Blog Tour

Welcome to Sewing The Seasons and the EYMM Capsule Skirt Blog Tour
(check out their Facebook page here).
I love sewing with EYMM patterns and was so excited to be included in this current tour.

The Capsule Skirt is the first EYMM pattern I made last year when I was fortunate enough to be included as one of the pattern testers.

Kymmy's patterns are so clearly written, easy to print off, and her instructions, diagrams and pictures make sewing a breeze. If you are new to knit sewing I would recommend this pattern as one to try, I can't see how one could fail.

I had recently purchased this glorious fabric from Smoogie Fabric and Design but wasn't sure whether to use it for the EYMM Active Wear Leggings or the Capsule Skirt....as you can see the skirt won! So many colours mean so many options of what to wear with this  one.                                                      
                                                 
                          



                        
 Same skirt, just an example of
3 different looks, ideal to take you through the changing seasons........




 
 Some helpful details: 
  • pattern sized XS - 5X (yes those of us more curvy are included in the EYMM pattern range), 
  • hints for lengthening/shortening skirt, 
  • maternity option & varying hem line for fuller figures all clearly given in the pattern instructions.
  •  from cutting to sewing time - under an hour! 
  • this version I left a tad longer than my previous ones due to work requirements




As we head into Autumn (Fall) down here in Australia, I am planning several more Capsule Skirts as they work so well with leggings or boots, a truly versatile item to take me through the various seasons.

Follow these links if you want to see some of the other Capsule Skirts already in my wardrobe...
