DIY Ankara Full Circle Skirt
I did a little sewing this weekend and stitched up this full circle skirt using Ankara purchased from AKN Fabrics. This was my first time using a hem facing and I'm so glad I took the time to do so. It makes hemming a circle skirt much much easier.
I cut an additional band that was 2.5 inches. With right sides together, I sewed the facing to the skirt and serged the unfinished edge. I then folded the facing under, pressed, and top stitched.
I also added slant pockets to the skirt using the front pants pattern (S1158) as a guide. I also used the pocket piece from this pattern. I forgot to take a picture of the piece.
My body does not like rectangle straight waistbands. They gap and fit me really poorly so I drafted a contoured waist band that hugs my body much better. I plan on doing a tutorial on how I draft my contoured waistband on a future blog.
Take care, all.
Until next time
XOXO
Nice job! Never thought of using the slant pocket on a skirt. Must add this to my extremely long to do list. Nice Tam!
