Long skirt finished! 2nd project ever.
I wanted a long skirt with pockets, decided to make this one from McCalls. I didn’t have enough fabric to cut everything the right way and made a mistake with the lining so I hand finished all the seams on the inside. I did manage to make the pockets bigger. My switch 2 actually fits inside them now haha.
Ignore the toxic pink socks please haha.
Pattern: mcCall 8609
Fabric outer layer: yarn-dyed cotton twill flannel (creamsicle orange, sky blue, dusty red plaid) deadstock from Mood fabrics
Lining: orange cotton poplin from The Final Stitch.
Interfacing is fusible and I added it to the waistband and pocket.
Machine: Janome 1522
Notions invisible zipper from Mood fabrics, little hook and eye for the waistband
Lessons Learned
First practice with pockets and linings, learned french seams, and I now know how to add an invisible zipper. And had some good practice in hand sewing. I also need to now make a silk underskirt or something cause the friction it has with my legs is annoying AF.
