Pattern Review: The Quebec Skirt by Itch to Stitch Pattern

A slim-fitting pull-on skirt with pockets, a coin pocket, back vent, and a faux fly front.

Is it worth sewing? Spoiler: Yes!

The Quebec is a great wardrobe staple—a comfortable skirt that looks polished and works for all seasons.

If you are a confident beginner, this is the perfect project to help you grow as a sewist.

I’m an Old Fashioned kinda person. Dress: Meg by Seamwork in black rayon from Mood Fabrics. Spring is for flirty dresses!

Hope everyone had an amazing Halloween! I’m pretty happy with my costume since this was a last-minute kinda thing. Once I realized that I was not going to finish my Xena costume—too many details, not enough time, AND my main sewing machine stopped working—I raided my old costumes stash, and The Raven was born. The feather cowl/shrug thing, the skirt, and the corset are from my Morrigan costume (2017, I think). The gloves and boa are pretty old items, and the headpiece was finished two hours before going out. I loved the way it turned out. And I’m really happy that I was able to reuse feathers from a previous costume.

Tried to keep my hair down, but humidity+wind=impromptu braids. I should see a bunch of scrunchies.

My style? Cardigan Goth.

Or maybe Goth Librarian.

Let’s talk goth style that works for real life.

I love velvet and corsets, but I also love being able to move, teach, and feel cozy at work.

Enter: the dress + cardigan combo.

Add boots, rings, and black polish, and I'm ready to haunt the isles of my school library.

Who says you can’t be goth and practical?

I wanted to sew all the black clothes. So I became a goth sewist.

When I started sewing, my dream (and one I thought I'd never reach) was to sew a wardrobe full of black clothes.

Whenever I open my closet, pack my bags for a trip, or do laundry, I can't help but be so proud of myself for making my dream come true.

Come by the blog and learn why I became a goth sewist—and why you should become one too. https://sewgoth.com/why-you-should-be-a-goth-sewist

Fabric Myth-Busting:

🚫 Myth: You can’t use quilting cotton for clothes.

✅ Truth: You *can*—if you’re smart about it.

It’s not about following the rules. It’s about knowing when to break them.

If you’ve got a stash of spooky prints calling your name, don’t despair. Pick the right pattern, and you’ll turn that “not for garments” label into a total win.
