Maxi Skirt

After looking on Pinterest I decided I would try and make a maxi skirt with some two way stretch fabric bought at Fabric Land.  I didn't know much about stretchy fabrics and found that this fabric had so much stretch that the skirt fitted more on my hips than my waist.  I followed a tutorial on Simplelivincrafts.blogspot for which I am very grateful and I was really pleased with the result, especially as I just drew the shape on the folded fabric.  I made the waist band twice the normal height which can then be folded over so no elastic was used which makes it very comfortable to wear.

I have decided that I love my overlocker!  It is like gold spray paint at Christmas.  I keep looking for what I can sew up next on it!
