I have a friend coming over and it's another beautiful sunny day so I'm just going to leave you with some pictures of the skirt I am making.I'm nearly finished, just have to do the hemming now.I have to admit this has taken a bit of a back seat since the vintage fair on Saturday as I am no longer in desperate need of clothes and anyone who has ever hemmed a similar skirt will know it takes forever.I am planning to use bias tape for the hem.I think it will match the bias on the pockets nicely and besides I don't have a rolled hem foot so I don't have too many options.I have worked out it needs 5 metres of bias.It also needs a bit taken of the front so that it hangs evenly.As I don't have one of those super gadgets my fiancee will have to help me with this. I'm planning on making a whole bunch of these in different fabrics, planned next are a large floral print and a plain red one with a high waist and straps.
the skirt is really cute! i so wish to have one in my closet now!! heart the heart shape pockets. can't wait to see how the pattern will look using different fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona,
ReplyDeleteI made the pattern myself.The pockets are pretty easy to make ,just cut out a hart shape in paper to make a pattern.I quite fancy doing some with frills as well.
I love this skirt, it's so super cute!
