But wait, there's more to the skirt story. I also inserted an invisible zipper with the amazing invisible zipper foot my mother kindly sent to me. You can see--or rather, you can't see--the zipper in this picture. The loose threads at the top are because I haven't yet sewn the skirt to its lining.I also found a really great tutorial on inserting invisible zippers here, plus the same site has another great tutorial on machine stitching your facings here.
Today I finished New Look 6028, view A but with long sleeves and no trim. It too is fully lined and clever me made it from the same material as the skirt so now I have a suit look in a beautiful wool blend.

That really looks nice! Good job! I love the fabric.
They both turned out well; there are a few mistakes no one but me would ever notice and I'm working hard on being kinder to myself about stuff like that. I had to press and press like crazy with a damp ironing cloth and I think I'll need to go in and do some hand tacking on lining for the skirt's yoke. But all in all, I'm tickled.
Now I need to get over my fear of my serger and knits.
I am in awe - I can tackle mending and simple sewing, but I lack the patience for this.
