The first part of the project was choosing the fabric. I picked up a vintage duvet cover over the summer holidays with the intent on using it to make some bags. But after having a good look at it, decided it would be better used to make a skirt with.
After today's class the pattern pieces have been cut out. Next on the agenda is the lining fabric. And I am hopeful that I will be able to take the skirt and lining into class next week, tacked and ready to sew.
The pattern?
I chose it as it is relatively simple: 6 panels and there is a zip. A zip has always been something that eludes me. So I can't wait until I finally get taught how to insert a zip.
Roll on week two!

What a terrific print for a skirt.
The classes sound like fun.
I ADORE that print! I can't wait to see your lovely finished skirt :)
Awesome pattern! The fabric will be just perfect. Are you planning on making a petticoat, too?
This is going to be just gorgeous, and you will feel great when you've conquered zippers!
OH no no the zip!!! I always thought they were dead scary too.
Marvellous fabric, going to look great as a skirt.
