I made i made a maxi skirt.
I chose to make a maxi skirt because the fabric flowed and the colour was really nice and i just thought of summer for the season.
I went a different approach this time instead of using a pattern.. i draped the skirt on the mannequin .
I thought to try something new and see the outcome.
I just experimented with the fabric and started doing little tucks around it and then i just cut it out and added seam allowance on the stand.
The fabric was sourced in Shepherds Bush and is a chiffon
And cost £ 3pm and i got 2.75 meters so in the end it was £8.25
I added a waist band to make it easy to get into. I didn't want to put a zip because the material was really thin and didn't want to end up ripping it
The only problem i had was finding a colour for the thread to match so i just used black thread.
The hem was done neat but the black thread made it look odd. next time i would search high and low for the right colour thread.
From the comments i got when i wore it i would say it is quite fashionable.. and appealed to the people who saw it.
I was very pleased with the outcome but there's always room for improvement.
I would use different thread and add more tucks all the way to the bottom.
later on i wore the skirt as dress and got good comments from people.
