Ponte de Roma Skirt

This is my ponte de roma sheer skirt that I made using my own design.  I had originally planned on making some tops or a dress with this fabric but I thought it would do well as a skirt too.  I wanted a comfortable  skirt with a little elegance to wear for my Mothers Day luncheon that the girls have planned for me.

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!
