Skirt bottom: to trim or leave alone?! Asking for opinions!
pfaffkj Intermediate TN USA Member since 7/28/05 Posts: 461	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/13/10 3:35 PM I just completed my second skirt from Butterick 4461 and am undecided about adding ribbon at the hem. So . . . . if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could take a moment to peek at these pics and let me know what you think. Should I leave the skirt alone or add the ribbbon trim. Other comments are appreciated. I do apologize for the ghostly (ghastly!) white legs and unpolished toes! Skirt without trim Skirt with trim close up of trim -- just pinned, not sewn! TIA!

It really finishes the skirt and adds a boutique-ish touch. Really pretty fabric, btw! Eve ------ People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it - Chinese proverb
