"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes" ~Oscar Wilde~
Can you tell the mistake I made on the Vogue 2885 skirt I have been working on this evening. I'll give you a hint. It's a repeat mistake. Maybe, it's because I have sew much experience making this skirt?
Okay, maybe not. The back and front facings are sewn on the wrong side. Oops. I'm taking it as a sign to take a break.
Otherwise the skirt is coming together nicely. I just have to fix this mistake before I can get back to attaching the facing. After that, I'll have the hem left to finish. Then I'll have a new colour of my favourite skirt. The fabric is a stretch crepe.
