So I thought this was finished...

...then I took the photos, and the camera never lies!

It looked fine in the mirror, though maybe in need of a bit of an iron.

But from the back?

Whats with the weird puffy sides?!

So its back to the machine for this skirt, to try and smooth out those puffs!
I have a horrible feeling I may have to take the invisible zip out and start it again, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that!

In other news, I just got back from the local sewing meet with 3 new pairs of knickers, all ready for MMM. I have one more pair cut out and ready to sew. While 5 pairs might be a bit sparse for the whole of May, its been a fun learning curve. I can definitely see the improvement in technique.

  1. Don't you just hate this when it happens! Fabric looks super, and skirt definitely is worth it - I'd give it another iron first before grabbing for the dreaded unpicker ... J

    1. Will do :) It sat in a heap overnight before I tried it on again...

  2. It looks like you have some how managed to put too much fabric in the back, kinda looks like a tulip skirt. I would unpick it and resew as it will be an awesome skirt when finished. The sort of thing always happens to me, unpicking is a lesson i have learnt.
