Oops, haven't been here for a long time. I had finally some motivation to sew this skirt together.
Half a year ago I was in the city centre and went to a fabric store to pass some time. Big mistake. I found this nice fabric with flowers as borderprint and I had to have it. As the print scallops I decided to try a scalloped hem for the first time. It ended not-so-well. Not to mention my miscalculation and the hem were too short and landed around 5cm above the knee.
The back side is not that beatiful. I sewed the hem by folding the border of the fabric over the print. Another miscalculation here and there weren't that much fabric after turning it around and the hem became a bit sloppy. Not to mention how the backside of the scallops are just big enough to hide the seam. I had to hand sew those scallops shut as I didn't want a noticeable seam on the front side.
The bottom ruffles weren't meant to be there at first, but because of the miscalculation I had to add something to make the skirt longer. There weren't enough lining fabric for ruffles so I used some other one on my storage. They are kinda okay.
The last bad thing is the waist ties. They're too short for a proper bow. I came to conclusion to use some satin ribbon to tie it together and it doesn't look that bad.
Overall this skirt might look good for the outside but not as good in the inside. I'm not that fond to it. Maybe that's why it took so long to make.
