Hi! I'm back from my holiday from Devon and since being back I've already got my creative head on. A few weeks ago I found a tutorial for a simple straight line skirt and I already had bought some fabric from the NEC sewing for pleasure exhibition that I had already bookmarked for a skirt.
The tutorial is simple to follow and it's a really simple design that is perfect for a casual day look. The elastic waist is also friendly for people like me who can be prone to bloating a bit after big meals! It's also so cute for summer days out!
The only problems I had with this were:
- I measured the elastic to fit exactly to my waist but when I put it on it's really loose. Next time I'll make it an inch or two smaller so it fits more snugly and allows for my continuing weight loss aims.
- Make sure you leave about two inches of the side sem free or else it's a nightmare when you thread the elastic through later!
- I used a zigzag stitch on my machine but my Mum said a straight would be better, I didn't really realise until it was almost finished.
If you'd like to have a go yourself then the tutorial by Brett Bara is here.
You can also purchase her book on amazon here, I already have it on my wishlist!
