I like this somewhat thick fabric & had no problems sewing with it.
I designed a simple skirt & added waist darts for a better fit. I also made a fold down waist band. This fabric has enough stretch in it that you do not need a zipper.
I sewed the chiffon to the waist band & left the waist band with the natural fray as I liked how it looked....I am going to the dark side now not finishing edges lol! I had issues with the chiffon though, I had to sew twice the back seam as it unraveled even though I used the serger & I used Fray Stop on both ends. So I made a regular stitch beside the serged seam...it seems to be working but now it seems a little bit puckered. Does anyone have any chiffon technique's they would like to share with me? The bottom hem of the chiffon does not unravel at all....so what gives? I made a chiffon hoodie a couple of months ago and had no problems!
Wishing all my blog friends a serene & restful Mother's day however you celebrate!

Nice skirt and could be a good way to revamp an old skirt that fits, but is just too short. The length you chose is great! Nice job & idea!
This is beautiful! Linking this up with us made the Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop better and more special. Thank you!
