At the shop we have a new fabric distributer, and we now have access to a huge range of Moda fabrics. The one that really caught my eye was from the range, "Dancing in Paris". This will become a summer, wrap skirt for me.
Started: 4th February 2022
Finished: 17th February 2022
Fabric: Dancing in Paris
Amount: 1.75m
Two pieces (85cm by width of fabric) were cut. The fabric was stacked right side to right ride, and a seam sewn along one of the selvedges. This was pressed open. Six darts were sewn, two in the front, two in the back, and two in the wrap section. These were my hand width long, and two thumb widths wide. The side and bottom edges were hemmed, and the skirt ironed.
A strip of 5cm by width of fabric was cut. This was cut in two, to make the ties for the skirt. A tie was folded over (rs togetheer), sewn along the cut sides, It was turned inside out, and pressed. The second tie was worked in the same manner.
The waist of the skirt was turned over, and the ties pinned in place. This was sewn down, taking care to ensure the ties were securely fastened.
