Last night I started sewing the skirt. The skirt is a half-circle skirt in two parts, with front and back openings/slits. First, I marked where I want to put the inset pockets, 5cm down from the waist. Then I sewed both pocket sides to their respective skirt quarters (the side seam). Only then I started sewing the skirt's side seam from the top. I stopped sewing 1 or 2 centimeters below where the pocket starts, and sewn the pocket together. After sewing the pocket, I trimmed the pocket seam to 1,5cm, and started a blanket stitch on the border, to stop it from fraying and reinforcing the seam.
+ After a few days break, I'm back!
- There was a slight mismatch on the bottom, where the pocket joins the skirt, and also on the bottom hem. But I managed to correct the first, and I can still trim the skirt on the hem.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Keep sewing the skirt's side seams and pockets, also sew the lining's side seams, and then baste both together at the front and back openings and the waist. I'm leaving the hem loose to adjust it later.
