Having a lint roller was really handy (as I kept finding the edges of the indigo fabric everywhere). This is definitely a project that you want to finish the edges of the fabric, as suggested in the directions. I used my serger and navy thread to finish the edges of the fabric.
Before I added the waistband facing, I basted the side seams to try on the skirt (also suggested in the directions). This was really handy to test the fit before adding the waistband facing.
For the bottom hem I kept the hem length as suggested in the pattern, 1 1/8” (2.9 cm). I could have shortened the length a bit to match the length shown in the photos, but I loved this slightly longer look. It’s super comfortable to wear and when I sit down, the hem lays just above my knees.
Final Skirt
Size: 6 at the top of the waistband graded to an 8. An 8 to 10 graded in the skirt pattern Front and Back.
Fabric: Art Gallery Fabrics Denim, Scarlet Brick
Pattern Mods:
For the final skirt I decided to bring in the waist to a 6 and then grade across to an 8 in the waistband. I referenced the side notch to grade from an 8 to a 10 from the top of the skirt to this notch. For the pattern piece I cut out the size 8 so I would have fabric to work with if I decided the 6 was too snug. The distance to grade is quite small but I think it works just fine for this project.
