Sunday after getting back home again - I made it downstairs to finish up the skirt. It seemed to take much longer than it should have. I found some cotton to make the yoke facing, pulled out some interfacing and put that together.
I trimmed the side seams to 5/8 and interfaced the left side seams and put in an invisible zipper. I had JB help me mark the hem, it looks uneven on the counter - but hangs level on me.
I don't have anything to wear with it. So, I pulled this lovely jersey from the stash and I think I'll make a twin set (sleeveless turtleneck and cardi) from this knit to go with the skirt. The last time I made the sleeveless turtleneck from KS - I had a gap in the armhole, so I'll need to rotate the dart our of the armhole to the sideseam and gather it in. Maybe next weekend.
Skirt looks good and I think that knit will make a great top / set to coordinate with the skirt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your skirt! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHey you did it! Look at you getting out of your a-line comfort zone. ;) I can't wait to see the whole outfit!
ReplyDeleteYay! Looks great! Don't you love it when one project spawns another one?
ReplyDeleteLovely! The twinset will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the floral fabric with the skirt! And now that you've gotten this one to work, you should just start pulling out fabric and making skirts. Believe me once you've made it several times, it will come so natural to you and become and important yet easy to make garment in your wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteOh that fabric would make a great twinset to go with it!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking good! I'm always impressed with folks who get stuf done...I thought about sewing...that's as far as it got. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is really pretty. It occurred to me on Sunday when I was putting in one of the 8 darts that went into a dress I was working on that sometimes I put 2 darts in the back of a skirt when it's too big at the waist, so I don't have too much taper at a side seam. Duh! I love the jersey; it will make a great twinset. The whole thing is perfect together.
ReplyDeleteOh, and what Carolyn said. Make the skirt again so you'll be happy making it, and have several!
Love the skirt and the fabric to be. Totally things I'd wear!
ReplyDeletethe skirt looks great, and now i cannot wait to see the twinset! good job G!

I like it ! But the important question is 'do you' ? Will it become a TNT ?
