RE: How to sew a half circle skirt out of panels

in #needleworkmonday7 years ago

Oh my heart! Beautifully done! I am so glad you brought new life to an old design idea. It's a shame you didn't get enough fabric to begin with, but lesson learned :-) I used to make my patterns from paper grocery bags but my seamstress friend suggested I start cutting my patterns from old fabric instead, as they will last much longer and you will not have to deal with curling edges. Your skirt turned out great to say the least. Don't worry, I won't be forgetting you! Enjoy your off-time dear.

Thank youuuu <3 I am also very happy with the skirt and wearing it right now (we have super warm weather) And your idea with the pattern material is very helpful, because the newspaper is not sturdy and rips easily.
And with the fabric amount...I am not sure I have learned the lesson :-D I am always frightened when buying fabric, because I think I will destroy it by making mistakes while sewing. So, I try to recycle fabric or to buy bargain fabric (or simply less...:-D)
Thank you for the complements and the tip <3
