Recently I was in a shop where I found this gorgeous yellow
fabric.. It’s hard to find fun bright color fabrics, especially in this time of
year.. There was only 95 cm left on the roll.. Quickly I calculated that it
would be enough for a skirt and I bought it.. I was hypnotized with the color
and I forgot to ask what kind of fabric it is.. I guess it’s some kind of
cotton, perfect for a pleated skirt..
I
have already made this kind of skirt.. I had all the measurements written down, so it should have been an easy project.. The
skirt has pockets in side seams, lining, and I used the bias tape for the hemline
because I didn’t want it to be too short.. The lining and the bias tape I had
in my stash.. The inside of the skirt is more fun with all those polka dots and
stripes.. Instead of sewing
buttons and buttonholes I put snaps on closure.. It looks neater that way (and
it’s faster)..
Since
I made this skirt before, I thought that it would have been a quick make, but it wasn’t.. I followed my notes and everything was going well.. After sewing the waistband to the skirt and finishing all
the topstitching I tried it on.. I was very confused when I saw that it was about 10 cm larger at my waist.. Accidentally I cut the waistband 10 cm longer and didn't realize it until I put on the skirt.. That was a mistake I could easily fix.. The process of ripping
all the waistband seams was boring.. I had to add a few more pleats to the
skirt and everything was perfect in the end..

Gotta hate those simple mistakes - they're easy fixed but still a pain in the butt! I love the yellow of your skirt, and you're right the inside is lovely

ReplyDeleteThis skirt is a work of art! Love the interior, but the sunshiny yellow is just perfect for a winter (and summer) skirt. In fact, some would say it's just perfect, full stop!
