I did a blind hem, and that was probably the most frustrating part of my skirt. My fabric did not hold a crease at all, so I had to baste the hem by hand first. Of course I didn't realize until after I was done basting that I needed to fold over part of that fabric to sew the blind hem, so I had to slowly pick out the stitches as I went along.
The zipper installation was time consuming, but successful! I’m so proud of this zipper! It’s called a “lapped” installation, where one side of the fabric overlaps the zipper. (This is one of the many things I learned while working on this project).
I'm so glad I joined this sew-along. I learned so much, and I'm no longer scared of my sewing machine!
BRING ON THE NEXT PROJECT!
