{Eleven} SIT - Prints Charming Skirt

Back in March I went to Sew it Together in Sydney. As part of the fun we visited Prints Charming and went shopping and stitching.  Everyone bought a scrap pack (or two) and a sew-along was born thanks to Karen.

my scrap pack laid out

I bought the Sew What! Skirts book and drafted my first paper pattern to suit my measurements.  Great book and I learnt a lot in just this one project so am looking forward to trying a few of the other styles mentioned.


I finished the skirt awhile ago, but as is typical I only just got around to hemming it when I decided I should wear it to Church on the weekend.  I backed it in plain stretch denim I bought while in Sydney too.  I wasn't sure about the stretch element but it does sit nicely and feel good.


I need to add a couple of darts to the back to get it to sit better, but all in all I am VERY happy with how this turned out.  I might look into a less bright scrap pack to make another of these skirts at some stage.
