Sewing New Look

I have just finished a skirt using New Look 6969......This is a project that was supposed to be done last year......but I never got round to it. I kept changing my mind what material I would use ( the Paris pink material was not my original choice for this skirt)......This fabric was in my stash and I decided to use this one instead of the original choice. I'm not disappointed with the result  it came together easily which made this an enjoyable project........I  don't know what the fabric is, it's a sort of taffeta type material.

The only thing I didn't use was my overlocker, I just turned the seams with a straight stitch to finish off.  I also hand hemmed the skirt too......and yes I made it on my old Bernina 801......Why?..... because I love her so much and I knew she would handle the fabric well. Not that Juki couldn't do the same job, but it is my newer machine and I'm still learning her limitations. I wanted to make this skirt fast and the Bernina 801 is so reliable and quick to thread, it became my choice for this project........

I liked making this skirt very much, the New Look 6969 pattern was great....... I virtually made the skirt without any alterations, I just lengthened it slightly.

This pic pretty much the colour of the fabric.......

Hem looks crooked but it's just the angle....
