Next Stage Of My Work In Progress

Well the main part of the skirt is all together and actually looks like a skirt now.
For completion I need to do the waistband, put a hem on and, the worst of all, put a zip in. Why, oh why, do zips hate me so much. They never stay in the right place or the material moves. I have to hand sew the zip in first then machine stitch it. Can someone invent iron on zips LOL.

I know all you guys want a fashion show on completion but I have realised I don't have anything to go with it. Topless fashion show??? Nope!

My Skirt - Work In Progress

Thought I would give the beads a break for a while and do a bit of dressmaking. Well I found a great Simplicity pattern for a skirt but change it slightly.


Using burgundy cotton and a matching flowered polyester together.

The skirt has 8 godgets and 8 separate pieces for the skirt. Instead of using the same fabric all over I am using the polyester flowered material for the godgets. Just had to experiment, if this works out OK then I may try some different colours.

So far so good. If all goes well I should be able to update you all further.
