I know it has been a while since I’ve posted here… However,
in that time I have been working away and I have finally finished my Beignet
skirt with Liberty buttons.
I even wore it to a Django Django gig, and after much dancing and jumping around it didn't fall apart!!! I did take a needle, thread and extra safety pins just in case, but luckily they weren’t needed at all.
I spent a lot of time constructing it, and there was a point where I was convinced it wasn’t going to fit. I persevered and after altering the lining and sewing on all the buttons it somehow came together.
Now, I have read on many occasions the importance of
pre-washing your fabric, and I really should have learned by now not to cut
corners, but as you can guess this is something that I have never bothered to
do.
Surprise Surprise, the first time I washed my skirt it shrunk!!!!
This time the sewing gods must have taken pity on me, as it
now fits even better than before. I can’t believe how lucky I’ve been. I will definitely
pre-wash my fabric in the future.
