Skirt week, skirt week, skirt week...eek!

It's that time of the year to get all those skirts made that you've been thinking, one day I'll make that into a skirt.

Already pressed flat

I was gifted a large piece of this crinkle gauze by a very good friend of mine and I wanted to make it into a maxi skirt. What I did was ironed it flat first (cutting crinkle is a nightmare!) then made up a pattern based on one of the myriad of maxi patterns out there (it may have been a hybrid) and then made it. I multiplied my measurements x 20% though to take the crinkle into account. Having washed it now though, I maybe should have added more, it's very slim fit!

Hello mountain (again)

I sewed up each side seam with my serger, stitched on some thick elastic at the top using my serger and then did a rolled hem...yup, with my serger. This was a quick and satisfying make even if I do look a bit granny in it. It's very comfy though if that helps?


How are you getting on with your skirts? Anyone else entering?
