This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Casual


Materials

Cotton jersey with lycra

What was your inspiration?

I thought this skirt would be comfortable and I was right. What I didn't realise was how nice it would look. I really love this design and will make lots more of them, especially as they take only one metre of fabric.

What are you most proud of?

Attaching the waistband, it is a bit tricky.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Machine baste the waistband before sewing, my fabric slid around while I was sewing it.

The dots are super cool. I prefer wearing mine with the waistband not folded over, too. I haven't tried it with tights yet, hope it will stay put like yours .

I'm sure it will stay put, mine shows no signs of slipping down. The big waistband makes a very nice yoke doesn't it.
