Today's quandary ? How to Line an unlined skirt.
So, I've never made a lined skirt, I've yet to make a BWOF either, but this, of course, doesn't stop me.
I really like the skirt in BWOF 08-2008, the one with the pleat in the front -
The questions are,
1. do I cut the skirt pieces exactly and make the lining w/the pleat and the darts, or
2. do I fold up the darts & pleat on the pattern to make a lining piece without that extra bulk, or
3. do I make the lining with darts but without the pleat?
Advice anyone ?
Re: the Coat - well, last night I read (again) the instructions for redrafting a 1-piece sleeve to make a 2-piece sleeve and started to rework the V8346 1-pc sleeve. I'm almost done, just a few more lines to adjust and I'll hopefully have sleeves set into the muslin by (or on) the weekend).
I was worried to be so far behind with the sewalong but it seems as though I'm not the only one still working on and finalizing the muslin - I really want to finish this coat, so the longer I can post the muslin to the blog the better !

You'll need to put in the darts, but for the pleat, you should be able to go without the pleat in the lining; just put in a walking slit if you need the extra room to move. It should work out well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marjie, I'm working on sleeves for my coat this weekend, but another new skirt isn't far behind. I'm getting quicker at 'em.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog comments! I am going to be making a lined skirt very soon or you can look back on my old projects for how to line one. It is very easy but the vent at the back can require some finesse depending on the pattern. Check it out!
