I finished my skirt by hemming it this morning. The pattern is Nicole Mallalieu Design's A-Line Skirt. I used some red hatched-denim that mum gave to me that she got for $2 a metre. I love that it has a little bit of give because it is denim, but doesn't look like boring old denim - and way more comfortable than jeans.
I also love the yoke on the skirt - no more facings rolling out the top of my skirt. There (as usual) were heaps of little tips and tricks to get a really professional finish in the easiest possible way. The best part though, was the instructions for inserting the invisible zip. There is no need to be afraid of zips - not even the invisible ones!
Looks fab Carmel! Great colour. I can't wait to get mine made.

ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! You're looking GORGEOUS Carmel. Great skirt. Fantastic. What an awesome cut and the stretchy denim is an inspired choice. Brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteI've made a Nikki skirt before too - and with the master herself trying not to giggle at my luddite sewing talents. But isn't it loverly the way the skirt SITS?! So that's what the yoke is for...
