When I came across this pattern:
 |
| McCall's Pattern 7725 |
I fell in love! I needed it, and I had the perfect fabric for it.
I used a black floral rayon fabric from Joann Fabrics. The drape is so beautiful and it gives the skirt the perfect sophistication I was hoping to achieve.
 |
| DRAMATIC asymmetrical hem |
Another one of my Me Made May makes.
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to hem this skirt, even though it is a curved hem.
I also really loved the side closure. I used an invisible zipper and a button.
 |
| Button because a.) I love sewing them on with my sewing machine and b.) didn't have skirt hooks and eyes. |
One of my goals recently has been to become more efficient with making a project, specifically with following a pattern. I've gotten so used to making my own patterns, that I sometimes struggle with store-bought patterns. I want to get better at reading and following patterns.
I've had many chances to wear this skirt over the last month:
 |
| Wore it to the beach over Memorial Day weekend! |
 |
| Wore it casually running errands |
 |
| Dressed it up and wore it to church! |
I claim this about most things I've made recently, but this might be my favorite item I've ever made!
My mom has also requested I make her one, and I think this skirt in a pink rayon would be so cute!
