We have a fun \u201cmeet the panel\u201d week planned for you here on the blog. All week long we will be featuring our six Swingset Skirt sew-along<\/a> panelists. They\u2019re going to be sharing the materials they\u2019ve selected and talking about their plans for their skirts. I think you\u2019re going to like seeing the fabrics these sewing gal-pals have selected for their Swingset Skirts<\/a>. We\u2019re kicking it off today with Brienne. A few months ago she stopped by with her fantastic iron-on image tutorial<\/a>. She\u2019s back and here she is!<\/em><\/p>\n

\nHello there! I\u2019m Brienne, a sewer and a knitter of things for my two children. I occasionally blog at Handmade by Brienne<\/a> and frequently post photos of my making adventures on Instagram. You can find me here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so very pleased to be included here as part of this panel. If you\u2019re here, I\u2019ll bet that you appreciate the distinct quality of Oliver + S patterns. Maybe you turn to their patterns when you\u2019re trying to understand the best way to approach a sewing technique. Me too! I make most of what my kids wear so the Playtime Leggings<\/a> and the School Bus T-shirt<\/a> are staples for us. And I\u2019m eager to take a crack at the Swingset Skirt.<\/p>\n

For this sew-along, I\u2019ll be sewing the skirt as written, though it\u2019s possible that I\u2019ll be adding some tassels to the drawstring. I don\u2019t want the skirt to have too much stiffness so I\u2019m going with a fabric that has good body and plenty of swing. I grabbed this pretty, painted dress off of the sale rack at Target. It\u2019s the perfect weight and its colors reminded me of the gorgeous palate in this photo from Sweet Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We live in Minnesota and our family plays out of doors in all kinds of weather. The skirt will need some layers to go along with it for the upcoming winter so I\u2019ve casted on some leggings and even a sweater to beef it up a bit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what the other panelists are cooking up and to hearing from you. Will you be sewing along?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
