Hello Ladies!! I hope you have been sharing on LLK Cafe Facebook page. I know I am loving what everyone is doing. Ok day 4 – we are going to Work on the Skirt
(Sorry for the quality of pics- working late at night with no good lighting)
Skirt: Option: adding a ruffle- see pattern instructions.
27) Grab the 2 skirt pieces you cut on day 1 and fold each in half widthwise. Right sides together.
28)You will now need to use either a measuring tape or ruler and a fabric pen to cut the circle skirt from the fabric you just folded in half. Use the Skirt Length measurement found on the Measurement Chart (page 3). For example I am making a size 7/8- my skirt length needs to be 22″. Using a fabric pen and ruler or tape measure start at the top corner of the folded fabric and mark the required skirt length. Make several marks and then connect them to make a curved line.
29)Cut Curved line
30) Now Grab your pattern piece . place on top corner and cut. ***Important to be exact cuts so that it will align with your beautiful top properly.
31)Bring the two half circle skirt and place then right side together and sew along both raw edges. 1/2″ SA. Serge edges or zig zag or pinking shears if you do not have a serger.
32)Serge bottom of skirt and hem. If you do not have a serger fold over a 1/4″ and fold over again 1/4″ to enclose raw edge. option: rolled hem, ruffled edge – see pattern instructions
**Now is the chance to add options like Ric Rac or Ruffle – See instruction for more details,
Alright ladies that is it for day 4!
I will see you back for tomorrow for day 5 and we will attach the skirt to the bodice. -Alexis
