Vogue 8750 is complete including the hand work--yeah!! I am ready to begin sewing my next skirt which is a Simplicity Project Runway skirt and is now OOP. I have had several plans to make this skirt but seemed to always put it aside as another pattern become my focal point.
I think I posted previously that I am using a striped fabric with the stripes running vertical and the band at the bottom edge will run horizontal. I read through the instructions last night and glad that I did. I would not have pleated the fabric the way the instructions have you do it. I think that the instructions are probably better than if I had done it the way I was thinking. There are pockets and side zipper involved and can see where it would be better to sew those first than doing the pleating first. I will share more about that later.
I have another business trip coming up next week; I will be traveling to Asheville, NC. Waechters' Fine Fabrics is located there and has been several years since I visited their shop. They are in a new location since I was there last so looking forward to seeing the new shop and all the goodies. My plan is to go there first before checking into the hotel!!!! I have my priority in clear focus.
I will try to take some photo shots of the completed skirt and the Simplicity work in progress. More later.

ReplyDeleteOoh, I am envious of your planned trip to Waechters. I have ordered from their website but never been there. My BFF sewing buddy and I were just talking about taking a road trip there someday.
