Lisa Laree said... Yeah, Anne, I thought about it...but I was out of starch! (It's now on the grocery list... ;) ) 9/30/03 6:09 AM
Gigi Louis said... Beautiful! No one would ever guess you had trouble with this. :-) 9/30/03 6:33 AM
Rustybobn said... That skirt is really pretty. It appears to be just like the one I made from the Kwik Sew Easy Sewing book. What pants pattern did the pockets come from? 9/30/03 7:25 AM
Diane E said... Lisa, this is a beautiful skirt. So frustrating that you had so much trouble with the slippy fabric. I had better put starch on my shopping list, too, because I have a bunch of rayons that I'd like to play with. Your red shoes look really pretty with the skirt, too. Thanks for all the info on sewing order, and BTW, if your knees are "mature," mine must be mesozoic ;) 9/30/03 9:07 AM

Katharine in BXL said... Oh Lisa, I have those sewing problems all the time! I recognized myself when you said you accidentally threw away the godets. I just chucked a facing yesterday! 9/30/03 11:01 AM
SouthernStitch said... Love your skirt. I hope to one day do these gore/godet skirts. This style is very fashionable and flattering! 9/30/03 12:30 PM
Lisa Laree said... Gee, Rustybobn, I meant to put a link to that pants pattern and I forgot. It's Kwik Sew 3041; there may be a link in the RTW Pockets Tip/Technique.
It's funny -- sometimes I just sail through a rayon garment, other times it pouts and doesn't want to play. I was really surprised how well things did eventually turn out...you should have seen how far off the side front panels were when I first started! I suppose, like a wayward child, one must be FIRM! ;) 9/30/03 5:14 PM
