After finishing my first stash project of the year, I decided to make an "outfit". I still had plenty of fabric left so I decided to make a skirt. Here is the line drawing of the skirt that I chose:
The Encore Skirt has lots of options. I could not decide between the pencil skirt and the a-line skirt so I printed both patterns so I could measure. I watched the Lifting Pins and Needles video on making this skirt in a knit and I may very well copy her yoga waistband because I can.
After much debating, I decided to go with the a-line skirt. I am hoping that it will be a bit more flattering at this point in my life. I also decided to go ahead with the yoga waistband. Here is a picture of the finished skirt:
Here is the yoga style waistband:
I really like this skirt. This version was super easy to make with the yoga waistband. I will definitely make a woven project as I am positive that there is fabric in the stash that would work.
This project and the sweater project are showing me the limations of my sewing machine. My sewing machine barely had enough strength to go through the layers of this fabric. I will say that I broke at least one needle and yes, I was using the correct size needle. I suppose it possible that the machine needs a visit to the technician.
Happy Stitching!
