Happy Saturday!
I sewed two skirts out of this pattern this week. This was an easy skirt to put together. The pattern only had three pieces to cut out. It is a full skirt but still appears slimming. The pattern directs the sewer to put in a lapped zipper. I put a lapped zipper in one skirt and a center zipper in the second skirt. It is definitely a matter of preference.
The silk fabric was purchased at Joann’s. Joann’s has really improved their selection for fabric and quilting apparel. I also saw at Joann’s a navy blue with floral print that I want to make another skirt out of this pattern.
Be careful with the lighter fabrics, that you are using the correct interfacing. On one of the skirts, the interfacing was a little too heavy so on the waistband was not as sharp as I would have like it. Overall, I am pretty happy with the results.
I love the quote that I found on Pinterest. ” I don’t need therapy. I just need to spend time with my sewing machine. ”
Let me know your favorite sewing quotes.
