WIPS: February Skirt

January 31, 2010 by Jodi Leave a Comment

I picked up McCalls 3830 today at Joann’s in preparation for February’s Project-12 project.  I am hoping to make myself a “pencil skirt” that hits me at my knee.  I am awaiting the arrival of “Fit for Real People” in the mail before I begin.  Also, I haven’t decided on what fabric to use.  Wool seems a bit ambitious.  Maybe a suiting?  It is such a basic skirt, the possibilities are endless.  And once I have the pattern fit the way I want it, sewing up more skirts won’t be difficult.

The only thing that isn’t as straight forward is that the pattern doesn’t include directions for a lining and I would like to make one.  I did find this article though, but I’m not sure yet what to do about the back vent if I do the “slip” method.

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
