Here is the front piece of my faux leather version.
This is lovely and easy to work with fabric I acquired from Sawyer Brook in 2012. I would love to acquire this same type faux leather in another color. The pattern calls for top stitching of the upper, middle and lower front side pieces; also top stitching of the front seams. I decided to not do that on this until the skirt is more complete. I have a concern about the "give" of this fabric and I think it will do okay yet if not I did not want to have to undo top stitching because holes appear in the fabric and remain when removed.
Updates to follow.
The leather skirt is looking good! I have that same faux leather from Sawyer Brook so I know it's a dream to sew with. If you're going to topstitch, use your teflon foot. It will help insure that you get the best results!
ReplyDeleteI have used the teflon foot for the entire project thus far. It does work well on faux leather and suede.
DeleteLove it! Can't wait to see it finalized.
ReplyDeleteMaking good progress. Now ready to install the zipper and can't decide whether to have an exposed or invisible zipper.
DeleteLooking good. Love a good skirt pattern
ReplyDeleteThis has been a great pattern for me and it practically is sewing itself! :-)
DeleteThe skirt looks great in both fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLinda, your earlier version of this skirt is beautiful. And so far the work on this skirt looks fantastic - I'm sure this skirt is going to look stunning.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, I hit a little snafu this AM.
