My 1st bias skirt..

I have seen bias skirts pictured before, and always wondered about making one,, but  was always too afraid to try,,, till Craftsy started a class by Sandra Betzina,, Sewing on the Bias,, now I am hooked,, it was WAY easier than I thought,,



                             Using Vogue 1333, the pattern for the class..

 I made it out of some old,, old,, material,, this is stuff I have had I thing for about 20 yrs,, I got it from Wal-Mart.. it is strips of material and lace sewed together to make material,, it turned out to be the perfect fit for a bias skirt..

I did line it with batiste, since it was very thin,,elastic in the waist,, I sewed right side of skirt to wrong side of lining,, turned it in and sewed the casing for the elastic,, narrow 5/8 hem on the skirt, and serger finished, the lining,,I will be making more...

Wow.. too long,,,

I have been sewing,, I just haven't been posting,, I have learned one good thing about posting though,, it gives me a time frame of when I made something,,, sometimes I forget when I made something,, so I come on here to look. and think wow,, I have had that for THAT long,,, time to get rid of, or do something with it,,

                     Well, as you can see from the date on the pic, it is 3 yrs old.. already,, oh well..   The top is Burda 7595, made with sweater knit,, this is one of my favorite types of material now...

 Please excuse the mess on the bed,, but I think I was having her try on a bunch of things to post on here,,, um yeh...

A pic of the hem,, or selvage edge.. this was really cut material.. stretch knit,, I just measured, cut and sewed...
