So the 3rd skirt post in a row.
Fabric was my last purchase made at Chic Fabrics before it closed. It's a charmeuse with matte dots and I've used it wrong side up so it is matte with charmeuse dots. I just love a fun skirt, worn with solid tops and the colors of this print are totally me.
No pattern, no hand sewing. I took my 1 yard of fabric and cut a waist band off of one selvedge side. Cut the remaining piece in have crosswise. Then I cut 2 pieces of Bemberg lining the same size less 1" along the long side. With both the main fabric and the lining I sewed the two respecitve pieces together on the short sides. Next the body and lining were sewn along the long end, which became the hem line. Side seam had a zipper inserted and sewn. Waistband created and attached with a single button for closure and done.
Here's a look at the no hem hem:

'Til next time.
Love it!! Such a happy skirt!
ReplyDeleteExpertise makes things easy. Looks lovely on you. I bet it will get worn throughout the warm months with lighter tops.

ReplyDeleteI love it when you can just make up a skirt from a piece of great fabric. No waste, no instructions, no sweat. Then you put it on and it looks fabulous.
