Many moons ago I stumbled across this skirt at a second hand store.
I was drawn to the lemon printed fabric and then I was sold on the quality of this garment along with the fact that it's cotton. No man-made fibers lurking here, not even the lining. It's so comfortable to wear in the hot summer months. I just wish it was a wee bit longer.
I do believe that I will get more wear out of this one now that I lowered the hem about an inch and added a seam binding detail to the bottom of the skirt. All I needed was to stop procrastinating, grab the seam ripper, plug in the iron and dig out the blind hem foot. I used the blind hem foot as a guide to top-stitch the binding in place after stitching one fold line to the bottom of the skirt.
Stay Safe and Keep Sewing!
Very nice alteration.
ReplyDeleteOh, it’s a wonderful print. I wouldn’t have thought of the binding but it looks perfect. So, summery.
