the beginnings of a skirt :)

I finally gave in and started the skirt. Luckily I didn't have to think too hard how to make the base - copy my chess piece dress :) although I did forget to flip the seam to the outside for the hem and had to redo the bottom few inches.

 

The hem padding is all pinned and ready to sew, so I thought I'd have a play with my rouleaux. I'm amazed, but it only took me two tries to make a nice looking rouleau, and I worked out an easy way to turn and stuff it at the same time :)
