Week 1- Skirt(1) calico

Week 1 skirt we used pink calico 1.50 pm. I found working with this material simple. The material gave me no problems and was good quality for the price.

My First skirt was not one of the best looking skirts in the world, it was not made with a pattern block because i did not at this point understand how to use a block. I did not understand what seam allowance was, i felt a bit stupid and didnt feel i could ask.

I was experamental with  the fabric and jus played around with it for a bit the started stitching.

I stitched peices of the calico on the skirt to give it a bit of a pleated look.and used a peice of another material underneath to make it stand out.

Overall for my first attempt on the skirt i was actually starting to like it. Sian said she liked it which made my day because compared to the other class members i felt a bit low about my skirt.
