So after much dismay wondering when we were going to get a new sewing machine to get it finished, the wonderful Universe once again provided for us and I have been able to finish off the skirt today.
I top stitched all of the seams, then finished off the side seam. Turned the hem and then had to wait for Master P to wake up to measure his belly for the elastic LOL Yes I know, sounds odd right? But the Little Miss who this skirt is for is about the same size as he is, so Master P became the model for the afternoon. I did have one unpick session though. Mum and I thought that it would be ok to do the hem in white thread, but once it was finished, it just didn't look completely right, so I unpicked and re-did it in black. Much better!!
Anyway... drum roll please.........
Have had to stop for the night because I need to wash the fabric incase it runs onto the top when its washed. But stay tuned for more updates as I continue with the outfit!

And that skirt is adorable. I've got quite a few fat quarters here - now I know what to do with them!!
Looks fabulous and I'm sure the swapee will love it too!
Looks great *thumbs up*
It looks fantastic MrsB,
you know I have done a lot of sewing. But I would never have thought of making a skirt like that.
Now I am off to look at my scrap pieces and make MissK one.
You should be very proud it looks fantastic.
