An extensive breakdown of Claire's skirts in Outlander season one, and a tutorial to make your own replica/reproduction.

THE FACEBOOK GROUP
Here is a link to the page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/17747... (The mods of the facebook group asked me to let you know that they've had a huge amount of people request to join, but not answer the questions. They said you can mention me in the question box, and ignore the rest. ) (Let me know if you're interested in getting in on a custom Mist weaving at some point.)
ALSO if you have the same run of tweed as me and you have any leftover after you make your skirt, hit me up! I want to make a vintageinspired dress from my remnant, but I need another 11.5 yd.

Story of the patchwork skirt: most everything we were wearing in those clips is mine, but that skirt isn't. It belongs to their sister. It was made from a quilt their dad bought in Mexico, I believe. It was very old, faded, and ripped, and he was going to throw it out, so my friend brought it to my house and we made it into a skirt, inspired by Millie's quilt skirt in 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. It's extremely simple, just cut into one huge circle with a placket and a waistband, closing with hooks and eyes. She fixed up the rips and that was all! So I won't be making a video on it, but it was very simple to make, if you can find an old lightweight quilt to sacrifice.
The thread I used is coats & clark cotton allpurpose #8360 (summer brown, I think).
