Just a short post tonight but I can show you the completed skirt. This afternoon I inserted the zip, finished the hem and facing on the yoke. It is now ready to wear.
The fit is absolutely perfect so I am very pleased with the pattern making which is based entirely on the hip measurement for this skirt. I will definitely be making other patterns from the system. I will share more of the details with you next week.
The yoke on the skirt sits nicely and means that it can be worn with a fitted top like the one in the photo. The skirt is lightweight and will be perfect for our Singapore trip but in the meantime I will probably wear it to work as our weather is hot and humid at the moment. I will probably team it with this blouse.
I am pleased to have been able to create an entire summer outfit using fabric from my stash. The total cost was $2.70 for the buttons and $1.15 for the zip.

I am loving this stream; it is keeping me motivated to work on using my own stash. 🙂
Thanks, Julia. It is good to be able to motivate each other. 🙂
Well done!
I sewed from my stash yesterday and, inspired by you, made a new ironing board cover – well overdue. It looks lovely, better fitting than the last one which was bought.
Glad to know that I have provided some inspiration. 🙂 I agree that the covers you make yourself fit much better, and I believe that they actually last longer as a result.
