Basic Skirt

Here is the FIRST skirt I'd ever sewn. Ahhh brings back memories from my Intro Sewing Class. It's a basic straight skirt. It's so small that it doesn't even fit my size 8 dressform. I think I found this fabric at Walmart for $1/yard. I bought most of my fabric there since I didn't want to spend too much on projects that were for learning, and most likely wouldn't be worn by anyone.


Even if someone were to fit into the skirt the fabric is too thin and shear. Their panties would be seen, which I'm sure most girls do not what happening.

Here's a kick-pleat at the back of the skirt. At the time I didn't know what a kick-pleat was and had the hardest time sewing it into the skirt. For those of you who don't know what a kick-pleat is for, it's so that you can move your knees (basically walk) in the skirt.

I also learned how to sew a lap-zipper and a hook and eye the close the waistband.

If anyone wants a tiny see-through skirt, let me know.
