I am making a Meringue skirt from the pattern in the Colette Sewing Handbook. This is a very easy pattern and would have been super speedy had I not decided to make a Rouleau Pocket following this
tutorial on the Colette website. Basically, first make bias binding. Then sew it into shape. Then put up with alot of daft comments from the others at your sewing class about your change falling out of your pocket.
I am pleased with it though, this is it attached to the skirt front:
I will sew up the skirt next week at class, I am a bit distracted this week and have lots to do.... but I have a feeling the pocket will have taken longer than the skirt to make....
This pocket will really make the skirt ! Im sure !
ReplyDeleteOooooh, pretty! Can't wait to see a photo of you wearing the completed skirt. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh very swish! Who said pockets had to be practical anyway?
ReplyDeleteit may have taken time but it looks great and you lovely that you sound so pleased! Can not wait to see that skirt!
ReplyDeleteWow this looks great! Thanks for the link to the tutorial - I missed it first time around, so it's definitely something I'll give a go! Looking forward to seeing the finished piece!
