Good Monday!
A couple of months ago I found a queen size top sheet that I loved. For $2, I grabbed it up. Shooo, it's all fabric the way I see it.
I decided to make a 1/2 circle midi skirt due to the limited yardage. I actually like 1/2 circle skirts better anyhow. I added pockets because pockets make the world better. I explained how I make my slant pockets
here.
Well, that's all for now. Have a great week.
Until next time...

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
