THIS SKIRT WAS MADE FOR TWIRLING

And of course it’s got pockets! A true wardrobe workhorse, Luella can be dressed up or down and styled for multiple seasons. Trust us, you’ll want to make more than one...

Top tier skims the hips, while lower tiers are beautifully swishy
Instructions guide you through joining tiers with either a classic gathered seam or a decorative exposed frill seam
Optional pockets, anchored into the waist seam for a sleek finish

Haven't used the pattern yet but I love this skirt style. I am replacing all my old patterns with Tillys as they are such great quality, with easy to follow instructions. The pattern wallet makes it easy to store and reuse patterns. Using Tillys patterns and on line resources makes it so easy to pattern hack and get something you really love.

Love it

Love the pattern. Instructions so easy to follow.
This was my first skirt and piece of clothing I’ve made.
Will be making more.

Simple clear instructions

Had great plans of starting this project but life took over looking after a poorly relative . But I've lots of fabric to try on this so will forward picture when I eventually get time to myself . Excited for this one .

Hi Lorraine, I’m sorry to hear your family member has been poorly - I hope they’re feeling better soon. I also hope you get a chance to make up the pattern sooner rather than later! Enjoy, and happy sewing, Virginija x

Favourite make yet!

I’m absolutely in love with this pattern! As a relatively novice I found it just challenging enough, with the opportunity to learn a few new skills along the way. Everything was really well explained and the links to the extra tutorials were incredibly helpful.
I’ve already made a second Luella, and have downloaded several more of your patterns too. Thank you! x

Hi Kate, wow - I’m so happy to read your review! It’s so lovely to hear how much you enjoyed making the pattern and using all the available resources, and even more exciting to hear you’re planning to start some other designs soon too, yay! Enjoy wearing your beautiful Luella shirt - it’s gorgeous! Virginija x

Nice skirt!

Very good pattern, easy to sew and I have a nice skirt that fits well!

Hi Diane, thanks so much for your lovely feedback! I’m so glad you love your new skirt - enjoy wearing it. Happy sewing! Virginija x
