Holy cow, the SAL is flying right on by!! Today is day 5, and we are hemming today. If you want, you can also topstitch your ruffles/tiers. 🙂 I opted not to topstitch the white floral skirt in the videos, but I did topstitch the blue floral!
My daughter was super excited about the matching scrunchie I made her, too. We have lots of woven hair/accessory patterns if you’re in the market for some:
Don’t forget:
- Hem allowance is 1/2″ and is already included on the pattern pieces
- If you use a fabric with an existing trim/decorative edge, your skirt will finish 1/2″ longer than intended unless you make the adjustment while cutting your fabric out; I didn’t adjust because I’m hoping my daughter can wear both skirts for a while 😉
- Be sure to finish your raw edge before hemming; you can finish a number of different ways, but I opted to just use my serger
Want to sew along with me? Check out today’s video!
