So the plan was to share my finished crochet yoke dress.. but my mind has been elsewhere, dreaming up a skirt that I just couldn't resist to start.... and as usual I had ligitimate reasons
The overlocker had black on it, I needed white...
so really it made sense to whip this one out first, right?
Sounded good enough reasoning to me.
So here is the dotty twirly skirt....
I would have liked some modelled shots, but my model won't have a bar of it today.... when it was time to change her nappy she ran screaming away from me to hide behind the curtain
It's basically the same as this skirt I made here, except the skirt has two layers to attach the stretch lace to, and the waist is sewn in two places so I could insert the faux bow
I tried my hand at doing a rolled hem, but no luck....
I think I need more practice......
I've just cut it off for now and I will leave it as is, until I'm more confident with rolled hems.... one day.
And I just love the navy polkadots,
especially teamed up with something red

Very cute! I'm with you on the machine thread issue...of course you had to make this skirt first. That faux bow is too adorable!

(totally agree with your thread changing philosophy!)
Such a sweet sweet skirt.
It sure is worth practicing the rolled hem... because once your confident you'll never look back.
This skirt is gorgeous!
I am also scared of rolled hems. Even after learning how to do them in an over-locker class last year - still scared! One day, right.....
