I have been a bit busy sewing lately. Though not much to show for yet, I am mostly drafting and testing new patterns, but this weekend I finished an apron skirt that I’m really happy about. I have had this design mulling in my head for a while. By splitting up the skirt in two pieces it became pretty easy to add discreet inseam pockets in the front. The skirt is made from organic cotton twill and decorated with regular cotton twill tape. I got a tutorial in the works on how to quickly attach bands and ribbons on a skirt, while still keeping a straight line. No basting required!
