Here is my second
Sinbad and Sailor O'Keefe skirt made, of course, with the same fabric as my
Tessuti Tokyo Flower Show Jacket. The fabric hides the details of the pattern, which is a bit of a shame.
The pattern sews up well, although this time around I managed to put the pleats and the pocket on the wrong side. Mmm. Don't ask my how. I looked at the pattern placement ten times I'm sure.
The main problem is the invisible zipper. It was perfect, it really was.. except up the top as I sewed it over the waistband seams I veered too close to the zipper and as a result it wouldn't close. Urgggh. One of the little teeth looked dodgy but instead of pulling the whole thing out (I didn't have another invisible zipper) I only unpicked the top bit. I then was zipper shy so sewed too far from the zipper so now it looks a little bit ugly as it's not a perfectly 'invisible zippee' up there. I should have unpicked it again, but couldn't bring myself to. I did redeem myself a little bit by sewing the waistband by hand rather than making anymore mess with it.
So this is my 'what's to be done face'. I wore it to work today and it was good, but I strategically had my shirt hanging a little bit down to cover up my zipper. I could just pretend there's no problem or I could fix it or I could take it to an alteration place!
Would it be bad to take it to someone else to fix!?
