The only thing left to do is hem the skirt and the lining! I took some photos this evening of the skirt
This is the completed skirt except for the hem.
This is closer look of the yoke and side pockets.
I topstitched the edges of the yoke. I did this also because it helped to keep the yoke edge in place. I wish I had edgestitched the pockets, but didn't.
This is the lining side of the skirt. The upper edge of the skirt needs to be pressed and I may edgestitched the top edge of the yoke. I am pleased with the fit of the skirt and now I only need to decide on what the top should look like.
September was my month of skirts. One I did not complete and that was the Magic Pencil Skirt. I just did not like the knit fabric I chose to use. I needed something with a little more body to it.
For October I am going to concentrate on tops and jackets.
I'm jealous of your beautiful skirt yoke. That is one really pretty skirt!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think I will make another skirt from this pattern.
DeleteWhat a beautiful color! Your craftsmanship looks superb!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love this skirt! I thought to myself, " I have to have that pattern". I looked it up and realized that I do have it. Your skirt just looks so much more. I have pulled this pattern out several times to use it,but put it back. I'm a believer now that I have to use it. I know what fabric I'm going to use. Thanks for the inspiration!!
