So i *finally* made this skirt yesterday.
With a happy lapped zipper.
In a fabric that i LoVe.
love love luff.
It was a fun challenge "matching" the paisleys....I knew they wouldn't be perfect, as the skirt is somewhat fitted at the top and has six gores. I decided to match them at the hipline and I am so very pleased, as all the swirls and curls took on an unintentional design of their own.
Flat felled seams, pinwale corduroy, 1940's pattern.
Time to make some shirts!

Beautiful job. I am still getting the handle of sewing. I just started a dress with one of my vintage patterns. I have to say, I think I may become addicted to it!(sewing I mean, not the dress!)
Thanks...although, I learned another lesson: Let a bias skirt hang for a day or so before hemming. I hemmed it immediately, and now it's a little wonkified---but still wearable. Have fun sewing! It is an *enormous* addiction.
Fantastic skirt and gorgeous fabric... ...wearable and beautiful...what more could you want?
