 Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside to Him. Trick or treat! Today I'm revealing my Halloween outfit made from Butterick 6621 and the free skirt pattern from Megan Nielsen, the Veronica skirt. Okay let's save the best for last and talk about the Veronica skirt first. I actually made this a couple of years ago. The Veronica is a free sewing pattern from Megan Nielsen patterns. You can download it for free by signing up for her newsletter. She describes it as a basic full circle skirt for woven or stretch fabrics. The pattern features optional roomy scalloped pockets and two waistband choices. Version one is for woven fabrics and includes scalloped pockets and a wide waistband. Version two is for woven fabrics and includes a narrow waistband. Version three is for stretch fabrics. It's rated a skill level of one out of five and comes in sizes extra small through extra large. The fabric I used is a pleather I got from one of my earlier trips to the New York City garment district. The pattern is perfect for tricky fabrics like this because there are so few seams, no darts, pleats or gathers and bonus you can skip the hem on pleather. Okay now that that is out of the way let's talk about this adorable top. The pattern is Butterick 6621. It's described as a close fitting knit dress with front neckline and sleeve variations and double stitched hems. Views B and C have ties that are single thickness and the wrong side of the fabric may show. I made View A with the twist front, shortened it into a top, lined the bodice, skipped the sleeve hems and then tucked it into the high-waisted skirt for a messy tucked in look. The pattern is deceptively simple to sew. The knot is really just a twist and the instructions are super clear. To line it I use the same bodice pattern pieces, skipped the twist, sewed the hem, turn it wrong sides together matching up the neckline and arm side raw edges then attach the neckband and sleeves to enclose those edges. The fabric is a little itchy not really on the wrong side but where the seam allowances are the raw edges can be scratchy. You can't easily surge the raw edges of the front twist after it's sewn unless you did them in a single layer and I didn't want to stretch the fabric so I didn't want to surge the individual raw edges. That meant I had unfinished seam allowances that were touching my skin and were scratchy. Not to mention the fabric is slightly sheer. The sleeves are unlined so you might be able to see just how opaque the fabric is on me but lining it just ensured that it would be comfortable and not too showy. The fabric is from Joanne. It's described as the perfect special occasion fabric for dancewear skirts gowns and fashion accessories like scarves and belts. Measuring 43 inches wide this dotted apparel fabric has a blend of 83 percent nylon and 17 percent metallic. Available in a wide range of sleek metallic colors it's an ideal choice to create stylish apparel for fun occasions that need some extra shine and glamour. I talked about this fabric in my how to sew with halloween fabrics video explaining how I set up my sewing machine and ironing station to work with this fabric as well as for others. The top is really cute untucked and you're just going to have to take my word for it for now. I'll be using this top for another video very soon where I'll show you how to style it for all the winter holidays including halloween, christmas, new years, and valentine's day. For halloween I styled it with a super cute day of the dead inspired headband, a bouquet of glitter-tipped black roses, fishnet stockings, and sparkly heels. If any of these items are available online I will have a link to where you can purchase them in the description box. I am very careful not to call this a costume because I'm not really dressed up as anything, just dressed according to a theme. I love to have themed outfits for special occasions like sporting events, festivals, and parties. Halloween is really no different so even if you aren't really into costumes like me you can still have fun with the holiday. I hope you like my outfit as much as I do and are inspired to do something even small for halloween this year. That's going to do it for me today. Thank you so much for watching. Bye!
