ArtMind: Curtain skirt

Monday, May 9, 2011

Curtain skirt

When I saw this fabric in the shop, I knew I had to make something with it.
At first I thought a dress but then I was afraid the print would be too overwhelming so I decided to make an A-line skirt from it. It is actually fabric that I found on the curtain department but I don't really care as it's mighty happy.

It's not totally finished yet but I just wanted to show you that I can do zippers now... I don't do it the way I was thaught at school as it's too much hassle. My co-worker showed me to do it another way. I also looked it up on You Tube so that I could do it step by step and it works perfectly! YAY!
The pattern I used was from Neue Mode J 23250.

My next goal is doing the invisible zipper. Just need to find a neat pattern or project to use it in. And some extra time too of course...

Great choice Mitsy! The skirt you made looks awesome. Sigh...I took sewing for four years in high school and I still can't sew something that is actually usable :-).

How lovely! And I'm with you on the zippers...I don't put them in according to directions, especially the invisible ones. I usually put the zipper in first, then stitch up the seam. I can't wait to see the finished product! Cheers!

Mmmh, I actually thought the zipper you put in was "invisible", but maybe not. I'll investigate. Whatever it is...the skirt is wonderful and reminds me very much of spring.
