My first skirt

Today I made my first skirt. And I enjoyed making it, as well as the result.



The model is Sidonie from website Burda Style. At this moment you have to pay for the download. Fortunately, I free downloaded before they change their rules.




I took the fabric from what was left for the lining of the bag of my sister.

the changes that I made to the pattern were:

- I didn't place any linig. Didn't think it was necessary;

- And I didn't cut bias, because I hadn't enough fabric and because I think it would ruined the print.

- Didn't place any zipper. I made the larger size and the waist fits like a glove.



I'm not used to wear skirt, as I don't like to show my chubby legs.

But i enjoyed making the skirt and I'll probably do more.

This one, for being the first, anf because it has no lining, I'll wear it on the hot summer days around the house or I'll take to the beach.

It's a great model if you beginning in sewing.
