I am really enjoying the Charlotte skirt sewalong, it has made me slow down and take my time making a garment rather then rushing in to it and making loads of silly mistakes. I think this has probably got to be the best waistband I have ever fitted!

I am still to do the blind stitching but I have a long car journey tomorrow so I shall do it then (I am a passenger not the driver!)

As I said in an earlier post, I don’t want to attach a peplum as I think I will wear this skirt a lot without one, but I would like to occasionally wear it with one so I have made a seperate peplum, all I have done is cut out another waistband and attached it to the peplum!

I will put some hooks & eyes on as fasteners and there we are, with or without peplum!

Whoops, that photo is a bit blurred! I will post a better one when I have finished, next step Hemming!
