I really like the drape and volume that this skirt ended up with, and Elysia tells me that she gets lots of compliments on it. When I made it for her, she was living in PEI, so after I had assembled it I brought it with me with a bunch of pins to one of her basketball games and had her stand on a bench in the change room so that I could hem it to approximately the right length.
Details
Pattern: Tutorial found via PinterestMaterial: Some sort of synthetic knit fabric from Fabricville
Modifications: Made to fit her, none required :) Everything was eyeballed, I think I overlapped the front and the back pieces by about 10 inches.
Learning: This was a lot of sewing in straight lines, so nothing new other than be careful where seam lines show up on waistbands.
Up next: Pants, for real this time! Or not, it might be another Charleston dress because I'm obsessed and found some really awesome fabric.
Lucky sister!
