Great job. I have this in my stash and I hope to make it for Christmas. Any tips on hemming it? -Ann

Ann, hemming definitely took the most time on this skirt. I just measured a 3/8 inch hem and used about a million pins to keep it in place as I topstitched it. I kept a tissue beside the machine to blot the blood off my finger tips since I couldn't seem to stop pricking myself. A narrow rolled hem would certainly be a nice option with a thinner fabric, although I would definitely have to be in a patient mood.

That looks great!! Any chance you can get a pic of the elastic treatment you did? I'm having problems picturing it...

Very nice, I purchased this pattern a few weeks ago. It's nice to see how well it turned out for you. Now I cant' wait to make it.

evlcuddlz, I can't take a picture of the elastic because it is enclosed now. I'll try to explain it more clearly. I sewed the yoke facings to the yoke. Then I opened the seam up flat. I attached the elastic to the wrong side of the yoke facing almost where the yoke and yoke facing meet. I then folded the yoke facing to the inside of the skirt. The elastic is now sandwiched between the yoke and facing. To hold in place, I topstitched fairly close to the top edge all around and stitched in the ditch at the side seams. There may be a much easier way to do this, and I wish that I could explain what I did better.

Gorgeous skirt and nice treatment of the yoke. Some circle skirts can look overwhelming. This one really flatters your slim figure.
