Tell us about your sewing project design process: do you choose the sewing pattern or the fabric first?

The waistband of the Montauk Trousers has a fun drawstring detail that adds a little something to a casual pattern. Today Liesl will show you how to add a drawstring to the Everyday Skirt. You can adapt this tutorial to fit other patterns, too!

We sewed just the skirt from the Saint Germain Wrap Dress, and it worked really well!

How is your summer going so far? Liesl has lots of fun weekend links for you, including some sewing inspiration.
