Sewing lessons

I had sewing lessons a while ago and made a skirt (as well as a bag and a cushion cover). 
Here is the skirt heading to work this morning.

I have made curtains and another skirt (a circle skirt) as practice. It is made of very cheap light material just for practice. 
There are 4 quarters sewn together. The back is a little longer than the front (to allow for bottom curve) although this didn't work out 100% was interesting to do. You can see the longer piece underneath here. 

Zip

Full as is a circle

The hem was interesting to do too as I used the overedge foot to do a very narrow rolled hem which gives it a nice frilly look.

Overall it is rather see through and not entirely flattering at the waist, but all good practice.

I have booked on to another course making an easy dress in April, need to get a bit more practice before then.
