I just want to say a big BIG thank you to the pattern testers for the Kelly skirt! Testing is such a hugely important part of the pattern production process – and I’m very grateful for the feedback and support I got from my testers.
These girls are incredibly talented seamstresses (not to mention super stylish), and I love each and every one of their Kelly skirts. I thought it might be fun to do a little tester project round up!

Thanks SO much for being such wonderful testers ladies! And thank you to everyone who has already purchased the pattern – i’ve been so thrilled with how it’s been received.
Everyone looks so gorgeous! It must be so great to see the variations of colour and sizes on peeps too! Love it Meg!
Thanks so much honey!! Yes it’s so awesome to see all the different variations – i have to admit, i still get so excited every time i see a cool variation of my patterns!
This looks like a very cute skirt. But even though I like it and I like the Banksia shirt, I won’t be getting them…. I was kind of miffed that there was never a response to my questions (more than one) regarding my dart problems with the DR dress….
Hi Francesca! I’m so sorry about that – I truly am. I know you must feel ignored – but please know that any lack of response isn’t an intentional snub or anything like that.
To be perfectly honest, I try my best to answer as many emails as possible – but I can’t answer them all. I get hundreds of emails a day, and unfortunately i’m not able to answer every one. It breaks my heart that i can’t – but there just aren’t enough hours in the day.
I know there is an entire period of time during the stress and busyness of our move (April & May) that i still have outstanding emails & blog comments from – and it really bothers me that i can’t seem to catch up. But I’m doing my absolute best :)
Once again – i’m really sorry about that hun :)
XOXO
