Welcome to my comfort zone. This is a tiered skirt I made a couple years ago based on principles of rectangular construction, and the only curved seam is at the waist – which you can’t see. I’ve done a basic casing with self-fabric drawstring, but you’ll have to take my word for it.
First, some background. One very significant gap in my wardrobe is trousers/pants*, especially of the work-appropriate variety.** Nothing in the stores ever fits, blah, blah, blah.
I thought I should begin at the beginning, so I bought the Vogue fitting shell (Vogue 1003) and got some professional help with the actual fitting.
About the blog
This is a blog about sewing – mostly clothes, mostly for myself. I don’t sew a lot but I’m hoping to do more. I plan to use this space to recount my trials and hopefully share a few successes.
