Can ya sew?
If you are a newbie on the sewing machine or have been sewing for yonks, then the Peggy skirt suits you all. The Peggy skirt is rated as a beginner pattern. And if you are a little unsure of sewing up the Peggy skirt and the possibility of tackling the curved shaped waistband and the 'Lip' shaped waistband, don't fear I'm here too help! We will be covering these during the sew-along, and i will be holding your hand the whole way through. Hopefully you will pick up a few new & neat sewing skills along the way as well.
How this sew-along will roll:
For the week that we shall sew the Peggy skirt together we will follow the below schedule:Post #1: Getting started with the Peggy skirt, fabric suggestions, sizing, tracing and cutting.
Post #2: Assembling the skirt - Tucks, darts, creating the pockets.
Post #3: Side seams, centre back seam, inserting a lapped zipper.
